It may be ego, but it was earned. I want my damn Wikipedia page updated as it barely touches reality and has caused questioning of credentials. My edu, WaSP work, Gates F2Fs, articles, keynotes, training, SME for higher ed courses ain't. And apparently I was awarded once in 1998.

So where's the Fluent, .Net, A11Y and other recognitions? The funniest story of my career: Being fired as unfit the same week I was awarded a US Special Congressional Recognition for service to state and nation in advancing Technology. Find me a Wikipedia biographer, please.

Preferably before it's posthumously written or deleted. Frankly, I'd delete it but that feels wrong too. At one point, many "others" were organizing to course correct the lack of gender and culture diversity on Wikipedia. That was a great idea. Did it ever happen and can I help?

Replying to @mholzschlag
It's a question of time and priorities. Writing a new article on Wikipedia is a lot more fun than updating the millions of existing ones. Since we're all volunteers, we do what is fun and not necessarily what is needed.

As a writer I totally get your point. And it's got workarounds if we organize. Janet Daly expressed a great idea on FB of a 10 person "klatch" with cyclical input so as to avoid that burnout and keep folks fresh. This is also socio-political in part and that is unacceptable IMO.
