Sue, sorry we won't see you, but another time, for sure.
This connects up to Asaf's desire to work on bibliographies, I think. I, too, am very interested in that. My goal would be to have a set of good readings on as many of the topics in Wikipedia that we can cover. Not a giant-o complete list of everything written, but perhaps a "start here, continue on to..." There's no use giving folks a list of 3000 books and articles on a topic if you don't give them a starting point. So I've been reading up on principles of bibliography, classification, etc., and I think this is something that we can do that is totally useful.
If I get a chance I'll make a short bibliography of these on Zotero or something, so that they don't get lost.

Gah. I just realized I'm out of town that weekend so I won't be at the
editathon. That's a shame --- I'd been looking forward to it.
FWIW though, in case anybody wants to edit on transgender issues, here
are the books I've been working from. I'm not saying they're the best,
but they seem fine :-)
Thanks,
Sue

I usually find my sources through Google Books (plus I have
a hard
copy of Julia Serano's Whipping Girl). I'll check my Google

bookmarks, probably tonight, and send them to this list.
The journal
subscriptions will be really useful for me too -- I don't have
access to anything that's not publicly available.
Thanks,

Sue, great. Do you have a sense of what your sources
will be?
I'm thinking that we could have some "reference
materials" in
the room on our topics. In addition, BPL has some journal
subscriptions that might be useful. (SFPL has more, if
you have
a library card with them.)
I know what you mean about "actually editing."
Sometimes you
don't get much done, but I find I do get a lot of
stimulation
for later edits.

I'm planning to come, and I'm going to try to edit
on some
trans topics
("gender identity disorder" and stuff like that),
since they are
presumably getting a lot of traffic these days, and the
articles aren't
very good.
(That said, my track record of actually editing at an
editathon is
pretty poor: I mostly end up talking or hanging
out, not
editing. But I
am going to try.)
Thanks,

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CHEATSHEET>> as my basic

we can

I'll also try to come up with some possible
