    I encourage people to join this Wikipedia edit-a-thon. This is a *huge* problem as Wikipedia has become the first Google entry and key research resource, but women's entries are usually small or even missing compared to their male peers. Pick a female scientist, add to her entry!https://twitter.com/SmithsonianArch/status/1297963037878636549 …

    Following a fatal plane crash caused by a collision between an airplane and a flock of birds in 1960, Smithsonian ornithologist Roxie Laybourne was able to identify the birds by feathers in the propellers. Her findings informed safer aircraft designs. #BecauseOfHerStory pic.twitter.com/QdqIsRjg9M

        Sometimes it might be, but not when you are on the less end of the story.

        While this is a great endeavor, the problem with Wikipedia is that the (predominately white male) editorial team often simply delete articles as being "not notable", with no other justification or motivation. This has happened to articles about women scientists *frequently*.

        yep, it was largely why I gave up on being part of the wiki community years ago, spend hours improving and correcting an article only to have it deleted by an admin and having no recourse other than to redo it all
