#100WomenWiki - BBC News & Wikipedia 12-Hour Edit-A-Thon

Every year, over the course of 3 weeks in December, BBC names and celebrates 100 influential and inspirational women around the world. These names include those of celebrities and those that represent "every woman". As a wrap up for the 2016 season, BBC News asked the question "Is The Internet Sexist?" 

"Wikipedia is the seventh most popular site in the world but only 15% of Wikipedia editors are women and fewer than 15% of its notable profiles are of women." - BBC News

How Can You?

Kellogg's Frosted Mini-Wheats

If you watch TV you must have seen some of those commercials for Kellogg's Frosted Mini-Wheats. I must admit, I have never eaten Frosted Mini Wheats, likely because in my house it would have been just the Mini-Wheats...sans the frosting. But I really LOVE those commercials. How cute that they personified the mini wheats into these cute little "guys"? Characters we can really relate to ...so much that one little boy actually blows on the milk "cooling it down". I am clearly not the only one either, because Kellogg actually has an entire "theatre" dedicated to the little guys - Mini-Wheats Theatre. It's non-stop Frosted Mini-Wheats commercials starring the "cute little guys".
