I can see worrying about harassment. "Inclusivity", though? (From the tone of the press release, they mean race and gender, not article subjects.) Wikipedia editors are anonymous unless they don't want to be. How can anyone tell?

Having more diverse editors will lead to more diverse content.

Wikipedia pages of female scientists tend to get a lot more scrutiny than ones about male scientists [1].

There's another anecdote about moderator bias and some decent discussion on the issue overall in this thread [2].

Ultimately there are some issues Wikipedia can't solve since they are just a reflection of the rest of society in many ways.

"We can't write about this scientist and her work because no one else has written about her," is a problem that Wikipedia can't solve by themselves.
