Tack, Harald. I think this is also an important point and I like your idea.
From the list I've sent, we can see only a few
women (two names I've
recognized are co-workers, so that is not fair now :).
I strongly believe we need humanize more Wikipedia and I believe such
videos can help a bit with that, mainly if we find women for helping
us.
Best,
Tom

This sounds good Tom,
Today I had a workshop at a Swedish High School about Wikipedia, and we
discussed some about the difference between men and women on wikipedia. In
the same time my collegue said it would be good if we could find famous
persons who could be "Wikipedia-embassadors" (willing to say "I am
editing
on Wikipedia"). You (and Axel on the video) have good idéas.
What I was thinbking was that maybe we should try to find famous women who
could say what they think about wikipedia. This would be good for all the
women and girls who needs to find people to look at and see "They can, and
so can I!"
