I get out when I can, stay home when I can&#8217;t, keep the sun box pointed at my face, and work on Wikipedia, learning new things and giving other people the chance to learn about my world. The <a href=\"https:\/\/meta.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/The_Wikipedia_Library\/1Lib1Ref\">#Lib1Ref<\/a> campaign is\u00a0happening, I&#8217;m barely paying attention to it, but it&#8217;s as good a reason as any to organize some of my random interests.<\/p>\n<p>So, I wrote a lot of pages, mostly &#8220;stubs&#8221; (short pages, getting started pages) which seem to be my strong suit. In other parts of my life I am good at both starting and finishing projects, but on Wikipedia I&#8217;d rather starts some stuff, let other people flesh them out more. There&#8217;s also the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women_in_Red\">WomenInRed<\/a> project which helps get more articles about women on Wikipedia because it sure could use them. So I dipped my toe in there as well. Final count: 36 articles (I was aiming for one per day) in a few basic groups.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Library Associations<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/North Carolina Negro Library Association\">North Carolina Negro Library Association<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ohio Library Council\">Ohio Library Council<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/North Carolina Library Association\">North Carolina Library Association<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/South Carolina Library Association\">South Carolina Library Association<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Iowa Library Association\">Iowa Library Association<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Utah Library Association\">Utah Library Association<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/West Virginia Library Association\">West Virginia Library Association<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hawaii Library Association\">Hawaii Library Association<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Alaska Library Association\">Alaska Library Association<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wyoming Library Association\">Wyoming Library Association<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/South Dakota Library Association\">South Dakota Library Association<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tennessee Library Association\">Tennessee Library Association<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Louisiana Library Association\">Louisiana Library Association<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mississippi Library Association\">Mississippi Library Association<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Connecticut Library Association\">Connecticut Library Association<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rhode Island Library Association\">Rhode Island Library Association<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Washington Library Association\">Washington Library Association<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/New Hampshire Library Association\">New Hampshire Library Association<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Maine Library Association\">Maine Library Association<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/New England Library Association\">New England Library Association<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Women educators and activists<\/strong> (and one radio show)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ellen Shub\">Ellen Shub<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Laura Mako\">Laura Mako<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Anne Trubek\">Anne Trubek<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nancy Tribble Benda\">Nancy Tribble Benda<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Florence Lundborg\">Florence Lundborg<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Arria Sargent Huntington\">Arria Sargent Huntington<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Esther Georgia Irving Cooper\">Esther Georgia Irving Cooper<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Luella Twining\">Luella Twining<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jean Sindab\">Jean Sindab<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Yoshiko Dart\">Yoshiko Dart<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Josephine Mason Milligan\">Josephine Mason Milligan<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mary Fletcher Wells\">Mary Fletcher Wells<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The World Is Yours (radio show)\">The World Is Yours (radio show)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>A few people whose work I admire<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/AJ Dungo\">AJ Dungo<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Matthew Battles\">Matthew Battles<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Scott Smith (futurist)\">Scott Smith (futurist)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;m aware that Wikipedia is not for everyone, but it&#8217;s a good place to put my talents when the driveway is a skating rink, the library travel hasn&#8217;t picked up yet and I just can&#8217;t read another book!
