As an over 50 "average",retired, Caucasian, Female living in the Pacific Northwest area of the United States, I have had occasions when the query of my interests received the "start a page with my [search terms] . The request(s) have intrigued me, BUT, being, as I said "average" has set me to wonder if my education would be acceptable?, If my unexpected interruptions would appear as if I had lost interest and be considered that I had not been serious with regard to my commitment?, or (EVEN WORSE) be thought of a a whiny "old w o m a n" ... Granted, I have had my share of dissatisfaction with much more serious issues, and I have been challenged by volunteering upon occasion ...But as an individual, I exercise calm, and take my best "Cheshire grin" and do the best that I can, constructive criticism has been a method of my continued learning process since I was old enough to listen to people that cared enough to "take my hand". I am a firm believer that it far better to "ask a [stupid] question than to make a [stupid] mistake". Being a woman over 50, I could see where the idea of creating more interest could include the introduction of the "Wiki-world" to many of the more mature members (retirees)of our societies, many of which have acquired a wealth of knowledge that if coached, would add so much to all of our lives and perhaps enrich society in general. Edit away! and PLEASE be aware that I did, and DO have a smile on my face!

Gender aside; I personally like this kind of attitude. While debates (discussions) offer ideal points (pros and cons) it is the tone of voice used commenting that will turn myself away from an otherwise satisfying engagement; important issues, relavent to missions, inundated (heavily) with points of view producing the sort of stuff known as editwarring; which, personally, is abhorring. Wikimedia rocks in it's strategy, mission, movement, ideals and it's freedom of expression.
