This is why i love Wikipedia. The article below I KNOW is a direct result of the recent publicity on our gender gap. Even more proof of why solving this at Wikipedia will have a ripple affect in the real world. Allow me to be cheesy, but this is why i love the project, because i really do feel it makes the world a better place. Interesting points of view in the article.
