Hi everyone,
Thursday, Dr. Adrianne Wadewitz (User:Wadewitz) will be participating in our first #askawikiwoman event on Twitter. This event encourages people to ask short questions about Wikipedia (about editing it, policies, what it's like to be a Wikipedian, gender gap, whatever) and Adrianne will respond!
It'll be an all day affair, and will take place via our @WikiWoman twitter. All you have to do is type the hash tag #askawikiwoman and ask your question and Adrianne will respond.
If this is successful, we'll do them more frequently and focus on multilingual engagement.
Please read the blog here: http://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/01/14/have-a-question-about-wikipedia-ask-a-w...
And spread the word!! See you on Twitter :)
-Sarah

Are similar things planned for those of us who find Twitter repugnant and refuse to use it?

Not on my end! It's a common practice to do events like this on Twitter. I also have brainstormed doing something similar on Facebook.
I encourage volunteers in the Collaborative and in the Wikimedia movement to do events on their own. I'm limited with my time as I step back into volunteer mode in a few weeks :) So, I'll be doing it when I have free time. If you've got an idea - go for it! :)

What about reddit IAmA?

Reddit is one of the worst places on the internet when it comes to gender stuff, in my experience :/

Yeah I have little to no desire to ever do anything on reddit.
But, others are welcome to try it. Again, this is a volunteer ran project!
