See now....I don't see a lot of value in categorizing articles this way. I'm not even certain that being a Wikipedian is a notable enough category to include for an article, let alone being a *female* Wikipedian. The standard for including someone in a category is that the category is representative of something actually discussed in the article. Sure Sue occasionally edits Wikipedia - but it's not even mentioned in her article, so she doesn't qualify for the category from the "article" perspective.
(I'm not sure which Valerie you're referring to, so I can't comment there.)
There is also the longstanding tradition that any category that refers to a person's Wikipedia status/preference/etc is considered a "user" category rather than an "article" category. I don't think the two should be mixed.

I'd suggest having a different category for that. (although I am not sure it is utile in the first place).
To avoid the mix up of back end admin and academic content.

Oh, sorry, I meant to say the Wikipedia articles about people who are Wikipedians :)
Both of them have Wikipedia articles and also state on their Wikipedian user pages that they are who they are.

Umm, please don't do that. Users themselves should be the sole deciders of what categories they wish to link to. For example, I hope nobody puts that category on my userpage, and if they do it will be removed as soon as I can log in.
Some people deliberately choose not to categorize themselves.

Don't forget, you can also add the category to any women you might know who have Wikipedia articles and are Wikipedians. Such as Sue or Valerie!
