Missvain is currently experiencing significant stress that may affect her ability to work on Wikipedia. She may choose to work in quieter areas and avoid complicated tasks or areas prone to conflict. She may also respond to talk page or email messages more slowly than usual, and your patience is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Outside Vandenberg Space Force Base in Lompoc, CA, to watch Landsat 9 launch in Sept 2021.This kinda sums up how I feel about editing Wikipedia somedays.
My preferred pronouns are she/her.
Hi. I've been editing Wikipedia for over 16 years, I have started over 1,100 articles, and I have uploaded over 4,500 of my own photographs under free licenses to Wikimedia Commons. I also am active on Wikidata and helped create the Sum of all Paintings project. I am the former Wikipedian-in-Residence at the Library of Congress and I was first Wikipedian-in-Residence at the Smithsonian - I served as a resident there, twice. I founded WikiProject Women artists and I'm credited with helping to publicize the movement focused on improving coverage about women on Wikipedia and to engage more women in contributing. I am an active member of Women in Red.
I am grateful for all the work people do to ensure underrepresented populations and subjects are covered on Wikipedia and for the support I have had during the hard times here on wiki.
DO NOT EMAIL ME ABOUT YOUR WIKIPEDIA ARTICLES - I WILL NOT RESPOND
