Awesome :)

I'd love to help.

As an example, several times I've tried to start "Femme" as a separate article from "Butch & Femme" but it keeps getting reverted. (I forwarded this to some of my dear friends that organize the bi-annual Femme Conference, see http://www.femme2012.com/home/, http://femmeconference.org/, http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femme_conference)

I *really* appreciate Sue mentioning the need for improvement in trans etc. articles.

More trans people editing various trans articles would probably be a very good thing.

I think the new "edit" option vs "edit source" will help a LOT.

Best,
Daniel

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

        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.

            (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.)

                 I would be more than happy to provide an intro in that
            slot - I've
                 done a lot of similar presentations for education
            program events and
                 for editathons.  I usually use
            http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/__Wikipedia:CHEATSHEET

            <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CHEATSHEET> as my basic
                 handout type thing; it can be printed out, but we can
            also just give
                 people the link (since presumably everyone will have a
            laptop with
                 them.)  There are a few others floating around, but I think
                 WP:CHEATSHEET is the easiest/most compact to use.

                 I'll also try to come up with some possible topics and
            add them to
                 the editathon page within the next few days.
