I work with professional women every day whose careers
are in the world
of information. They are avid Twitterers, expert Flickrites, Facebook
fiends, and Foursquare addicts. At my library science grad program,
everyone knows how to use MediaWiki, as it is used internally for
classes. And yet, for whatever reason, Wikipedia is just not part of
their skill set. That is what needs to change. There is clearly no lack
of dedication or ability among such people.

This is interesting because transferring information from a good
reference to a Wikipedia article is for me, and would seem to be for an
expert in library science, both a lot of fun and something that maximizes
the acceptability of the edits. It is, however, somewhat of a solitary
activity, you are almost never seriously challenged regarding editing
like that. It is when you make a point that the trouble starts.
