I have begun taking some of my inspiration for new articles and additions from the national dedication each month to a particular group or issue:

February 2016: Black History Month/ African American History month: created articles about Carolyn Wright, Cynthia Akuetteh, Marcia Bernicat, the Natchez Museum of African American History and Culture and added to article about artist Alma Thomas and Avraham Neguise

March: 2016: The theme for this year's Women's History Month was "Working to Form a More Perfect Union: Honoring Women in Public Service and Government." So for March I completed articles on about a dozen women who are in public service roles, such as U.S. Ambassadors Julieta Valls Noyes, Stephanie S. Sullivan, Helen La Lime, Alice Wells, Kathleen A. Doherty, as well as First Lady of Israel Nechama Rivlin

April 2016: The candidates include Jazz Appreciation Month and National Child Abuse Prevention Month. One of my first articles for the month is about Delrish Moss, the new Police Chief for Ferguson. That might not sound related, but check out the "personal' section---he loves jazz! Sadly, I had the opportunity to contribute to the article about Ethiopian jazz musician Getatchew Mekurya, when his obituary appeared in the NYT. I also added to the articles on jazz greats Benny Carter and Sarah Vaughan. My second article this month was turning National Child Abuse Prevention Month from a red link to a blue link---very appropriate since blue is the color associated with it. Now I just need to find a blue pinwheel picture to post here...

May 2016: May is Jewish American Heritage Month and I updated that article with this year's new theme, "An American Journey." I also completed an article on America's favorite Bubbie on the big screen and Broadway, Sylvia Kauders. Earlier, I completed bios of a number of Jewish American ambassadors, including Alaina B. Teplitz, Stephanie S. Sullivan and Nancy Pettit, but this month I also added Ambassador Sarah E. Mendelson and Andrew H. Schapiro, named by President Obama as U.S. Ambassador to the Czech Republic, where Schapiro's mother once escaped the Holocaust by emigrating to the U.S. When the 2016 Israel Prizes were announced, I completed an article about Edit Doron, a professor at Hebrew University who completed her studies in America, at U. of Texas at Austin and Stanford University.

June 2016: It's African-American Music Appreciation Month. I attended to the article about it, adding the presidential proclamation. While I've added to articles on jazz and hip hop music in the past, this month I've added to the article about an African American opera star Latonia Moore, a fabulous soprano. Also got to add that Smokey Robinson won the 2016 Gershwin Prize!

March 2019: Once again, it's women's history month, and I've focused once again on the American women Ambassadors to other countries whose names were still in red. I've created articles about Kamala Shirin Lakhdhir, Rena Bitter,Patricia Mahoney, and Lynne M. Tracy. I also added an article about one of the few women to win the British Military Medal, Louisa Nolan, who gave humanitarian aid during the Easter Uprising in Dublin, Ireland in 1916.

Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict...please fill out my survey?
Hello :) I am writing my MA dissertation on Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict, and I noticed that you have contributed to those pages. My dissertation will look at the process of collaborative knowledge production on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the effect it has on bias in the articles. This will involve understanding the profiles and motivations of editors, contention/controversy and dispute resolution in the talk pages, and bias in the final article. For more information, you can check out my meta-wiki research page or my user page, where I will be posting my findings when I am done. I would greatly appreciate if you could take 5 minutes to fill out this quick survey before 8 August 2021.

Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary and anonymous. There are no foreseeable risks nor benefits to you associated with this project. Thanks so much,

Sarah Sanbar
