Sarah, Thank you for being fearless and unflagging in your work this year, and for keeping your sense of humor and head above water while tackling ambitious projects and issues. I have seen all the ways you've helped move us closer to closing the gap by bringing new understanding, inspiration and strategies for supporting more women to edit. You've also taught me personally a lot about Wikipedia and have been a whole lot of fun to collaborate with. Here's to you, to ongoing gender gap projects, and to new projects yet to come!
