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.

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:
