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
