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?

Happy to help. The key is independent, reliable, sources. Can you DM or email me some?

I do have a bunch of bookmarks that may well be helpful. I also do like using my dusty old boolean search chops to find sources. I dislike spending time formatting and documenting references. It's for me like writing indices, a skill I also found to be a bad fit! I write. I edit.

No formatting needed - we have tools for that.

That is really good to know! I've done it long form for too long and with a Ph.D. program on my horizon I'm gonna have to do it long form again. Tools FTW!
