Thank you for the change of the image at Author. Subtle acts of racism/ignorance of diversity issues permeate both scholarship and the practice of writing about it here on Wikipedia. I would like to encourage you to continue being bold, and eloquently developing the diversity within the communities on Wikimedia projects. Speaking of which, I recently started writing the article Novelist and would appreciate feedback and collaboration to further some of the identity-related issues in improving the article; feel free to come and help! I left a template above to help orient you to the community if you need, and I look forward to seeing more of your contributions within the community! Hope you are well, and happy editing Sadads (talk) 15:33, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
