I'd like to consider myself a rather prolific English Wikipedian.

I am also a very prolific contributor to Wikimedia Commons, and one of its very most prolific uploaders.

Activity
I have contributed significantly to the featured article 1927 Chicago mayoral election. I am the primary author of several Good Articles (William McAndrew, impeachment trial of Andrew Johnson, Presidential transition of Richard Nixon, Presidential transition of John F. Kennedy, Thomas Barbour Bryan, Pete Buttigieg, Mayoralty of Pete Buttigieg, 2011 South Bend mayoral election, 2015 South Bend mayoral election, 2019 South Bend mayoral election, and Proposed South Shore Line station in South Bend, Toni Preckwinkle, Proposed South Shore Line station in South Bend). I have had several DYK submissions featured on the home page of Wikipedia (however, for most of my editing career, even recently, I've tended to stay away from making submissions to DYK. I usually find the process to be a bit of a hassle.).

Women in red/expanding Wikipedia's coverage of Women
I am appreciative of the Women in Red project. I believe that women are underrepresented on Wikipedia. There are many notable women that have been overlooked. And many others with articles that are severely underdeveloped. The gender-gap in editors contributes to this.

I am mindful to improve articles on female subjects, and also work to create new articles on areas missing coverage.

I do not tend to go straight to the Women in Red project for inspiration on articles to create. Instead, as with most articles, I create new articles when my reading brings me across a subject not currently covered on Wikipedia. Nevertheless, several new biographic articles I have created were coincidentally women that happened to be listed there (Laura Swing Kemeys for instance). Other biographies I started were on women who had not been identified by the women in red project. Some examples of new biographies of women I have started include:
 * Jennie Goodell Blow
 * Mary Goodell Grant
 * Fae Searcy
 * Angeline Caruso
 * Argie Johnson
 * Florence Lathrop Field Page
 * Jennie Byrd Bryan Payne
 * Janice K. Jackson
 * Donna Miller
 * Judith Rice
 * Miriam Santos
 * Joan Toland Bok
 * Amara Enyia
 * Mary Collins (First Lady of Boston)
 * Jennie Barmore
 * Laura Swing Kemeys

I have also created a number of new articles focused on further exploring the careers of women in politician, such as:
 * 1930 United States Senate election in Illinois
 * Legal career of Hillary Clinton
 * Hillary Clinton's tenures as First Lady of Arkansas
 * Hillary Clinton's tenure as First Lady of the United States
 * Activities of Hillary Clinton subsequent to 2016
 * Planned presidential transition of Hillary Clinton
 * Boston City Council tenure of Michelle Wu
 * Mayoralty of Michelle Wu
 * Boston City Council tenure of Ayanna Pressley
 * Betty Ford's August 1975 60 Minutes interview

I have created articles on a sizable number of elections in which women were prominent candidates. In addition to this, a sizeable number of existing articles I have expanded are on female politicians. I have also contributed significantly to a number articles some articles related to women in entertainment.

I also have greatly expanded a number of existing articles on women, most often women in the spheres of government and politics.

This all said, I do think that no matter what, Wikipedia will have far more articles on male subjects than female subjects. This is due to a number of factors. 1) Throughout much of history, relatively few women had their lives and contributions recorded. 2) For the vast majority of recorded history, most women were relegated to household roles and barred by societies from achieving public accomplishments. 3) At this moment, men's professional sports have a larger number of prominent leagues and receive more attention overall. Additionally, the notable women's leagues that do exist tend to be far younger than their male counterparts. Additionally, gender parity in number of participants at the Olympics has taken a long time to come (expected to be reached for the first time in 2024). Therefore, there are more male athletes than female athletes that will meet Notability. 4) At this moment, most governments have an underrepresentation of women. This is true not for just executive and legislative offices, but also judicial ones. Therefore, even today, there are a greater number of incumbent male officeholders that meet Notability than incumbent female officeholders. 5) The same underrepresentation of women currently exists for corporate boardrooms. Therefore, there are more active male businesspeople that will meet Notability than active female businesspeople.
