Last week this wikipedia page was a single paragraph.
Now it isn't.
The proudest you can ever be as a writer is knowing you made someone deserving more visible than they were before.
I am delighted to see her finally get a small measure of the attention and recognition she deserves.
@garius i love finding women and putting their name and lives up there on the encyclopedia. Haven't done any in a while, but I've added a few.
But I really really love when people, like you, write their lives and achievements up on an article for publication as you just did. Getting them read and recognised is the best thing you can do. Thank you so much. 
@garius That looks great, well done!
@jessamyn oh I can't claim credit for updating the wiki directly! Kudos to whichever contributor did that.
I just wrote this piece about her on Monday as part of my 'Crazy Ones' column, to try and highlight how grossly overlooked by the general Silicon Valley history narrative she's been.
I pointed out her single paragraph on wikipedia in that. Been wonderful getting to add a footnote saying that's now changed.

@garius So great, that's almost better in a way.
