Hi Peter, Much of my editing has been without logging into Wikipedia.  Typically I don't create new pages but I have a couple times.  For example, I started a page for a college that closed in 1981 after finding to my surprise that no one had done so despite it being a beloved place for its alums.  I did likewise for a deceased former state chief justice, as 2 examples.  But I didn't sign in to do so.  I've made numerous other edits to add info such as info about a person's recent demise, further contributions to a field, etc. But in future, I think I'll sign in more often, esp. now that half the WikiGods have my uid on an alert trigger now. :) Matt -------- Original message -------- Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2015 14:12:39 +0200 From: "Peter Southwood" <peter.southwood(a)telkomsa.net> To: "'Wikimedia Mailing List'" <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Subject: Re: [Wikimedia-l] Why WMF should reconsider the 3-month gender gap project-related decision Message-ID: <005c01d02b3c$65e76500$31b62f00$(a)telkomsa.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Hi Matt, How much actual editing of Wikipedia have you done? I have looked for some indication in your rather lengthy message, but could not find any. Perhaps I have simply missed it, but maybe you just didn’t mention, thinking that it is not relevant to the point. Nevertheless, I would be interested to know, as it would be an indication of your exposure to the editing environment. For the same reason, I would like to know which Wikipedia(s) you have edited, they are not all the same.
