OR Information[edit]

I emailed Florence and asked her if she would do an interview. We decided on email, and she answered the questions I sent to her. This interview is a compiled collection of the questions, and not the other details of the emails. My first interview, and first real OR. Let me know whatcha think ;)!

lead paragraph[edit]

a few lines about who anthere is, wld be more appropriate for the lead paragraph than listing details of how the interview was conducted, when the email was sent, etc. these details, in fact, really belong on the talk page rather than on the article, i think.

perhaps something along the lines of

"Florence D. has been a contributor to <most active/significant project/s> since <when?>. On <October, 2006?> she was <elected/nominated/annointed?> chair of the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation, which <what does it do?>, including Wikipedia, a multilingual, collaboratively-written, free encyclopedia. She also served <any other imoprtant positions>, did <significant actions>. She is a <profession>, and lives in <place>, France."

m:User:Anthere#Biography shld help fill in the details.  — Doldrums(talk) 06:38, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
