Hi, gang. I&#39;ve added an article about feminist poet <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halima_Xudoyberdiyeva">Halima Xudoyberdiyeva</a>, who has been awarded the title People&#39;s Poet of Uzbekistan. Then I linked from the article to a translation of her feminist poem &quot;Sacred Woman.&quot; <br>
<br>Well, OK, I translated it, but it hadn&#39;t been translated yet and somebody had to. Honestly I don&#39;t make a habit of linking to my external pages. This was the one and only time in article space, I promise. At least I wasn&#39;t citing myself. I also linked from a title in Halima&#39;s bibliography to the article on the ancient warrior queen Tomyris, who the poem was about.<br>
<br>Otherwise, I&#39;ve joined the Typo Team and have adopted some typos as my very own: <i>breats, thights, Ghandi</i>, and the perennial its/it&#39;s distinction. These days I&#39;m putting most of my time and energy into a subject dear to my heart, American Indian languages. I created and have been filling in the sections on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_place_names_in_the_United_States_of_Native_American_origin#Ohio">Ohio</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_place_names_in_the_United_States_of_Native_American_origin#Pennsylvania">Pennsylvania</a>&#39;s Native American place names.<div>
<br></div><div>I also had adopted Kateri Tekakwitha, because I was looking to help edit American Indian women&#39;s history, and because when I first looked at her article it had blatant, gross vandalism that had been there for years! Once I cleaned it up the vandals began returning, so I kept after it, month after month. Then it seems she was scheduled for canonization this year, so for months now a bevy of Catholic activists has been pouring in lots of Catholic theology and hagiography which I am not suited to contribute to, so I was content with giving the Mohawk pronunciation in IPA and left confident that she&#39;s safe from vandals now.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I linked from Genya Ravan to a <i>Bitch</i> magazine article on her career as a feminist pioneer in rock music. I check in on my friend Asma Barlas every so often to make sure what they&#39;re saying about her is accurate.<br>
