Hi there...
So, first of all (since Susan who originally posted this didn't know) I'm
employed by Wikimedia Foundation. My bio page predates my employment by 6
years, but when I started working for WMF the Community did a "make-over" on
my page and I had to re-prove many facts of my life. This year, on roughly
the anniversary of my hire, a deletionist tried to invalidate my bio because
it was mostly Open Source folks who had edited it and therefore the
deletionist claimed Conflict Of Interest (you can see it all in Discussion
and subsequent ArbCom query)...somehow in that fracas, the knitting
references were dropped and not replaced...which I think is a pity because
when it is there many people ask me about knitting in public and I've been
able to get several programmers (of both genders) to learn to knit as a way
to deal with attention issues.
As a sidenote in case you wish to restore the whole Personal
section...here's a better link that explains my Dad really did own a rare
Alfa Romeo with my unusual name spelling.

and also

Ours was the chassis 948-11, which is described at the bottom of the
article.

Her wikipedia page is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danese_Cooper
and I believe she's referring to the Personal section which has been
edited a few times. The most recent time I can see someone putting
back the removed knitting references is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Danese_Cooper&oldid=348062767
And the most recent removal is:

Wikipedia editors,
Can someone look into Danese's pages please?
She probably wouldn't mind if someone contacted her directly to find out
more.

danese on Ravelry, as in life ;-). I've written quite a lot about
knitting
in public, although for some reason the Wikipedia
community won't leave
those references on my page :-(.
