I agree.  The point of Wikipedia/Wikimedia as a whole is to have
high-quality articles, and any way we can do that, and do something about
the gender bias in both projects, the better.  I also understand Sarah's
defenseness.  It seems that content editors get the short end of the stick,
to the point that many good editors leave.  Keep up the good work, Sarah.
