Welcome strangers!
I guess I have to put something here. Murus has used Wikipedia since its inception and made random edits without registering. So, Murus is a voracious Wikipedia reader and kinda eclectic editor. For Murus, participating in Wikipedia is a tool of active learning and brain muscle flexing. Every edit requires research and it sure beats newspaper reading and watching the zombie box.

Help counter systemic bias by creating new articles on important women.
