on there - a shame; as a Scot, I'm ideal for them. Although, I'm busy much
of this afternoon owing to an urgent vet appointment.
I was planning to take myself off this list, it was only meant to be
temp.... But every so often, something catches my interest. :p

that's not possible, would there be anyone else from Wikipedia available to
talk to us at 17.45 UK time ? It would be a short interview over the
telephone (3.00-3.30 mins). We'd be asking why there's a shortage of female
contributors, and what subjects women might be more likely cover."
Probably not able to do this one myself ... but do we have talking
point answers on this one? Anything resembling actual data, not
surmise.
