I recently attended a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador training, in which almost all the experienced Wiki hands were male and bearded, and the newbies were both female and not. When I recounted this to my wife and daughter, the wife speculated, "Does this mean that excessive time spent editing at Wikimedia turns you male and/or bearded?"
Oh, funny wife.
