Lilias Trotter on Wikipedia

The Wikipedia entry on Lilias Trotter, missionary and artist lauded by renowned art critic John Ruskin, is now more than a stub!

This is more of a side-note, more interesting to me in all likelihood than to other readers. This is the only Wikipedia entry I’ve ever started — although I’ve taken the time to edit two or three others. The beginnings of the Trotter entry were very humble; I’m not familiar with Wikipedia’s standards or code. But I thought there should be an entry on this notable woman and created the article with three or four sentences of background information. As I recall, I cited Miriam Huffman Rockness’s A Passion for the Impossible.

It’s fascinating to see how the entry has come along, and I’m thrilled to see that other people have enough interest in her to add and improve on my singular, spontaneous Wikipedia contribution.
