Some interesting comments in those tweets, too:
"Sad that I shouldn't use my own name or any username that refers to my gender or "female" activities for Wikipedia"
"Sounds awful: How to Edit Wikipedia: Lessons from a Female Contributor"
"Why yes, Wikipedia is just as horrible for women as it can possibly be. A wily tactical guide to making it better"
"How to Edit #Wikipedia: Lessons from a Female Contributor. Great tips (and warnings)"
"How to Edit Wikipedia: Lessons from a Female Contributor … http://t.co/iulQO72fQY this is a little depressing eg the tips on picking usernames"
