What if someone posts their own article as a Wikipedia
topic? I
posted one of my articles which I also gave to a garden site and
posted in my own column at BackWash. I'm the only one who has a
copyright to the article. Was that ok to do?
Yes. It should be noted though that (print) publishers often retain
exclusive rights to articles/books published through them. One should
always check the specific agreement or contract. See
<URL:http://mathworld.wolfram.com/authors_note.html> for one horror
story.
I think web publishers are less notorious about this.
PS- Are there no other women taking part in this?
I'm quite positive you're not the first/only woman working on
Wikipedia. They are definitely in the minority, though. Let's hope
this situation gets better over time.
I feel a bit like I've snuck into the boys room.

This seems part of the reason -- so every new female on board helps
double.
Enough speculatin' ...
