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?

We are REALLY short of freely licensed pics. There are just 3 of you. Do you have photos you took that that you could donate with open licences to Wikipedia? Loading pictures of yourself is fine. It does take a few minutes of time and you MUST be the photographer DM #visiblewomen

So I can only use pics of me I took? That's thousands. That others would freely give, more. What about pro photos I own rights to? What specifically can I provide as there are decades, I share for any purpose but hate.

Hi! I think there's a lot of us out there trying doing this one article/editathon/class at a time, and there's the project Women in Red. I took the liberty to add some of the awards in - I couldn't find a reference for the congressional recognition?
