Hi fellow travellers: I started editing Wikipedia in 2005, but never quite continued beyond my first blustering correction of an academic reference (fuelled by the ubiquitous Wikipedian conviction that 'someone is *wrong*'). Amazingly, that anonymous edit still remains. 2012 was my year of return.

In my real life avatar as Anasuya Sengupta, I used to head the Grantmaking department (now Community Engagement) at the Wikimedia Foundation; I left in 2015. In 2016, Siko Bouterse, Adele Godoy Vrana and I co-founded a global multi-lingual campaign - Whose Knowledge? - to center online the knowledges of marginalised communities (the majority of the world). Together with our amazing friends and partners around the world, we hope to re-imagine and redesign the internet to be for and from us all.

My first barnstar!

This is precious to me

"Rest in power"

Thank you for quality articles fighting the gender gap, such as Bisi Adeleye-Fayemi, Fondo Centroamericano de Mujeres, Indian Canyon, California, and Anita Avramides (written as a tribute), for "Rest in power", - you are an awesome Wikipedian!
