Abstract/description
The world at large remains in utter ignorance of how Wikipedia and all its many spaces are edited. I propose a panel of 10 speakers, each to have 5 minutes to speak, with the session lasting one hour. The topic each speaker would address is My editing life in Wiki. Each panellist in the course of their talk might consider including
 * 1) What was their first edit (on any wiki)
 * 2) Areas they have concentrated on and why?
 * 3) changes in their editing habits
 * 4) influential events/people/experiences
 * 5) Negative experiences

I believe we need to publicise (perhaps using this session as a basis for a journal article) the nature of editing. It seems that many people writhing about wikipedia are almost utterly ignorant of what we do and who WE largely are (volunteers, subject to no-one's dictates)

What I am hoping to achieve

 * (Example) At the end of the session, participants will have learned x, y, and z.
 * (Example) After the session, the participant will engage more with Wiki?
