I have so much to learn that I appreciate all advice and improvements to any articles. Now retired, if not editing, I go to an allotment or knit.
I have been joining (when I can) monthly Women in Red edit-a-thons at the University of Edinburgh where we are part of a global WikiProject trying to increase the number of notable women with entries in Wikipedia, to help balance the gender gap - together!
