Hi,

Just wanted to share info on the role of female editors in Tamil Wikipedia on the occasion of International Women's day.

Please see http://ta.wikipedia.org/s/2o04 where we have featured the best of our female editors.

Just to give an idea of their backgrounds:

Parvathi and Kalai are admins.

Parvathi and Poongothai are school teachers.

Kalai is a researcher based in Norway and Chandravathana is a writer based in Germany.

Especially, check out Poongothai's (she is the most active editor in Tamil Wikipedia recently) inspiring interview at
