★ FEATURE
Biography
Emily Temple-Wood is an American physician and Wikipedia editor who goes by the pseudonym Keilana on the site. Born May 24, 1994, she is known for her systematic efforts to counter gender bias on Wikipedia, particularly through the creation of articles about women in science. In 2016, Jimmy Wales declared her a joint recipient of the Wikipedian of the Year award—recognition of her years documenting scientists and researchers who had been absent from the platform. Temple-Wood graduated from Loyola University Chicago and Midwestern University before practicing medicine in Minnesota. As a Gemini, her dual nature—healer and knowledge-keeper—mirrors her career's split between clinical medicine and information activism. Writers engage in documentation, analysis, and advocacy across media; Temple-Wood channels this through both medical practice and digital stewardship, treating Wikipedia's knowledge gaps as a form of systemic harm worth correcting. As a US citizen, she represents a growing cohort of academics and professionals who see open knowledge as a public health issue.
