INF1001

Hi, Farah, and welcome to both Wikipedia and INF1001! Like you, I was dismayed by Jake Shields's recent loss, but not nearly as dismayed as I was watching Fedor's three most recent fights. It's now up to Hendo, Barnett, Cormier, and Nick Diaz to temper the pig-headed arrogance of the JUST BLEED crowd! Maybe Ubereem can stomp Lesnar while we're at it, otherwise I'm going back to K-1 exclusively ;) If you're new to U of T, the best cheap, fresh coffee is at the Campus General Store across the street from Bissell (80 cents if you bring a mug), the great halls in University College and the Hart House library are the best and most serene places to read, and the two most important people to get to know at the Faculty of Information are Christine Chan at the front desk, and Aida, the cleaning lady. Strikeforce and UFC events have been known to stream in the basement of Bissell (where the lockers are) on occasion. While there isn't really a contingent of librarians who watch, there are a few grad students from different departments who take advantage of 24 hr keycard access under the auspices of "working on papers."

Survey

Hi Farah!

I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!

It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!

Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!

Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you!
