hi, I&#39;m kath. I&#39;ve had a wikipedia account for a while but didn&#39;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&#39;d missed <a href="http://wthashtag.com/women4wikipedia" target="_blank">http://wthashtag.com/women4wikipedia</a>) so I reset my password and read a few help pages and tried editing a few articles to fix things like references/links. I&#39;m a digital tv engineer and use wikipedia every day, so I thought it&#39;s probably about time I joined in and started giving back. I liked reading the &#39;be bold&#39; article - it reminds me of my fav saying &#39;make your own fun&#39;. hoping to learn more &amp; improve the collection of knowledge. not sure if I should be on this list considering how new I am, but I&#39;ll see how it goes.<br>

<br>cheers<br>kath<br>user:kathodonnell<br>
