More or less on a wiki-break due to pressing family issues. If I don't respond right away that's why.

I'm a librarian and attorney (copyright, First Amendment, privacy, information law).

[edit] What I Do at & for Wikipedia

Starting in 2004-ish I began gnomishly fixing typos & grammatical problems that bugged me (e.g., comma splices). I also occasionally added little bits of data to articles on occasion, chosen at random from whatever I happen to be looking up that needs attention.

In January 2005 I added a username. (Although, I often forget to log in if I'm just trying to make a quick grammar or punctuation fix.) Also, I hardly ever remembered to put in an edit summary until I added confirm-without-edit-summary as my default option.

2006 onward: Much more significant editing, turned towards areas of specific interest and categorization issues. Also efforts to encourage and recruit people, particularly women, to work on Wikipedia.

Particular interests and concerns:

Lack of ethnic and gender diversity in wikipedia. Efforts to remedy have included setting up a "wiki workshop" at WisCon for women / feminists.
Inadequate representation of notable women among wikipedia entries. Significant contributions to remedy this problem include planned or contributed entries on scientists and copyright scholars.
