I might be a little punch-drunk from all the gender drama lately, but..."meet some of the women who edit Wikipedia!" sounds more like an introduction to a speed-dating event to me than what is presumably intended to be a demystification/de-othering blog post. "Come meet some women" isn't exactly a phrase that comes without baggage, culturally speaking, and it makes me wince to see female editors being announced in a tone that makes them sound like exotic zoo animals.
