Willa Beatrice Player (August 9, 1909 – August 29, 2003) was an American educator, college administrator, college president, civil-rights activist, and federal appointee. Player was the first African-American woman to become president of a four-year, fully accredited liberal arts college when she took the position at Bennett College in Greensboro, North Carolina. From 1955 to 1966, Player served as president of the historically black college during a period of heightened civil-rights activism in the South. She supported Bennett students who took part in the lengthy sit-ins started by the Greensboro Four to achieve integration of lunch counters in downtown stores. After leaving the Bennett presidency, Player was appointed in 1966 by President Lyndon B. Johnson as the first female director of the Division of College Support in the United States Department of Health, Education and Welfare, serving in that role until 1986. This 1930 photograph of Player is from the archives of The Crisis.Photograph credit: unknown; restored by Adam Cuerden

I mainly work on Military articles and I and am a fervent participant of WikiProject Military History. Inside of that I mainly work on articles about American military history, including the American Revolutionary War, the American Civil War, and the Spanish-American War. I also nominate and review Good articles, and I welcome a number of users. Here is my edit count, if you wish to see it. [1]
I have awarded you this medal for your work in helping to reduce the backlog during the Good Article Candidates Backlog Elimination Drive. You reviewed five or more articles during the drive, which helped to contribute to the large decrease in the backlog. If you have the time, please continue to review articles to help make sure the backlog does not jump back up to what it was. Good job and happy editing! Nehrams2020 06:49, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

I think you are completely missing the point in autograph pages. The purpose is not to make it long, it is to collect signatures of friendly Wikipedians. If you are trying to make the longest, then you are completely missing the point. But I'll sign anyway. Would you sign mine, please? ;-) ANNAfoxlover 00:51, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
I came here to tell you that I have a strict rule against signing autograph pages. They do not help the encyclopedia, and they are a distraction from more important things, and I would never do something as silly as place my autograph on a page like this. But whoops ... here I am writing on this page, so I am going to have to sign my comment, and so after all you wind up with the autograph of ... Newyorkbrad 01:05, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm basically doing this just to annoy all those Wikipedians out there who for some unknown reason, seem to hate autograph books! Good luck!!!!!!!!! SensibleMenace 16:06, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
