Welcome to the list, and to the project! If you need any help working your way around the wiki, feel free to ping me - I'm User:Ironholds.
Everyone's welcome to contribute, regardless of gender and experience. It's rather like the project itself in that way ;p.

hi, I'm kath. I've had a wikipedia account for a while but didn't use it until yesterday when I saw on twitter that only ~13% women are editing it. (I saw links to a twitter conference that I'd missed http://wthashtag.com/women4wikipedia) so I reset my password and read a few help pages and tried editing a few articles to fix things like references/links. I'm a digital tv engineer and use wikipedia every day, so I thought it's probably about time I joined in and started giving back. I liked reading the 'be bold' article - it reminds me of my fav saying 'make your own fun'. hoping to learn more & improve the collection of knowledge. not sure if I should be on this list considering how new I am, but I'll see how it goes.
