I have been a book and periodical editor for decades. Now I am interested in supporting Wikipedia and most especially its balance in terms of rural/urban, gender, heritage diversity and topic diversity. I am not great at the technical side of Wikipedia editing.

  • Jean Argles (nee Owtram)

Articles started and then abandoned

  • Olajumoke (Jay) Abdullahi and Kym Oliver of Triple Cripples. Though they are amazing, sadly I could not find enough independent sources to continue.
  • Dr Pragya Agarwal. Evidently an inspiring communicator in speech and writing and of complex ideas. Not enough biographical details available to continue.
  • Thelma Gracen. Jazz aficionados rate her singing highly but I could find few traces of her work or biography.
