Adrianne Wadewitz (1977–2014) in a video (full resolution) discussing the workings of Wikipedia, created as part of the 2012 fundraiser. Wadewitz, an American feminist scholar of 18th-century British literature, first began editing the online encyclopedia in 2004. Though she first edited anonymously, Wadewitz later became a public face of Wikipedia and attempted to address the website's gender bias, and was quoted on the subject in the media. She died on April 8, 2014 after a fall while rock climbing in Joshua Tree National Park.Video: Victor Grigas
