Hi everyone,
Forbes Magazine released their list of the world's 100 most powerful women. Wikimedia Foundation's own Sue Gardner is #70! Very very cool :) Congratulations Sue!

For fun, I made a not so glamorous list of the top 100 women and their article quality, you can see it here:

Starts win the award for the most, at 52. The three FA's are popular culture icons (the Queen of England, Angelina Jolie and JK Rowling - the latter Sue beat out on the list ;D ). Two of the top five are in that area (...as is Sue's article). You'll also find a few red links, and who knows what this list looks like in your preferred language or project.
A nice starting point for edit-a-thons, personal wiki-agendas, and improvement.

Thanks for that list Sarah and congrats Sue! I've begun working on some sub-stubs for the red linked women. I plan on circling back to expand them once I have turned all of the links blue. I've also created a new category (Category:Forbes most powerful women). I'm adding the articles I create to that, but I've decided to hold off on adding more until someone else comments on it.

That is awesome Ryan! Thank you. Do you think that the category should be based on year as a subcategory in that main category? I'll bring this up on the talk page. :D

Okay, I got five stubs up. I would also recommend revising the cat to reflect the year noted on the list. I'll probably spend time working on Maria das Graças Silva Foster and Sheri McCoy (Avon) today. My mother retired after 20-some-odd years working as the executive of sales and management training with Avon Products, so several executive bios have been on my list of things to do for quite a while now.

There are many forms of bias. All 10 of those previously without bios are notable in the field of business. It would be difficult to make an exact comparison with men at a similar level, but I would expect similar results--many CEOs of even of the most important companies in the world are not included in WP.
