Okay, I got five stubs up. I would also recommend
revising the cat to
reflect the year noted on the list. I'll probably spend time working on
Maria das Graças Silva Foster and Sheri McCoy (Avon) today. My mother
retired after 20-some-odd years working as the executive of sales and
management training with Avon Products, so several executive bios have been
on my list of things to do for quite a while now.

Thanks for that list Sarah and congrats Sue! I’ve begun working on some
sub-stubs for the red linked women. I plan on circling back to expand them
once I have turned all of the links blue. I’ve also created a new category
(Category:Forbes most powerful women). I’m adding the articles I create to
that, but I’ve decided to hold off on adding more until someone else
comments on it.
That is awesome Ryan! Thank you. Do you think that the category should be
based on year as a subcategory in that main category? I'll bring this up on
the talk page. :D

Hi everyone,
Forbes Magazine released their list of the world's 100 most powerful
women. Wikimedia Foundation's own Sue Gardner is #70! Very very cool :)
Congratulations Sue!

For fun, I made a not so glamorous list of the top 100 women and their
article quality, you can see it here:

Starts win the award for the most, at 52. The three FA's are popular
culture icons (the Queen of England, Angelina Jolie and JK Rowling - the
latter Sue beat out on the list ;D ). Two of the top five are in that area
(...as is Sue's article). You'll also find a few red links, and who knows
what this list looks like in your preferred language or project.
A nice starting point for edit-a-thons, personal wiki-agendas, and
improvement.
-Sarah
