From Clovermoss I'm thankful this week for discovering an interesting task force: Women in Green <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WIG>. The goals of this task force involves creating GA-class articles on women and women's works. One of the goals for this year is 20 new GAs. I've known about Women in Red <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women_in_Red> for awhile now, and I'm thankful for the work everyone has put into both Women in Green and Women in Red. I'm amazed at the hard work that went into the creation of 14,480 articles for January-July 2019, and I'm looking forward to updated statistics for WiR for August-December 2019.

I would like to highlight a 2019 editorial by Tim Berners-Lee <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Berners-Lee>, the creator of the world wide web <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web>, that was published in The New York Times <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Times>. The title of the editorial is, "I Invented the World Wide Web. Here’s How We Can Fix It." Berners-Lee writes, "I wanted the web to serve humanity. It’s not too late to live up to that promise... I had hoped that 30 years from its creation, we would be using the web foremost for the purpose of serving humanity. Projects like Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap and the world of open source software are the kinds of constructive tools that I hoped would flow from the web." Berners-Lee goes on to advocate for making improvements to the Web. I invite you to read the entire editorial <https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/24/opinion/world-wide-web.html>.
