About me

I'm especially interested in improving scientific and Australian content, but also like helping newcomers or important neglected pages. I have a long watchlist, and enjoy seeing others expand or improve articles I've worked on.

Image contributions

I think high quality images and diagrams are very important for engaging wikipedia articles, so have developed my photography alongside my wiki editing. Visit my Commons user page to see the images I've contributed. Here's a taster:

Global interface edits

I occasionally edit Mediawiki space on other language Wikipedias. This uses the Global interface editor userright, for which I reapply each year ([2] [3] [4]). I translate customized terms on the Mediawiki:sidebar into English, to ensure that editors who specify the English language in their preferences can read the sidebar, even if they are not familiar with the local language. My edits should not affect anyone else. If you would like to supply a better translation, feel free to contact me or a local language administrator.

Paid contributions declaration

My employer The University of Sydney organized an editathon on 31 October 2014 focused on women historically or currently connected with the university. Due to my Wiki experience, I was asked to help both on the day and in preparation. So over a period of a few weeks around that date, some of my edits can be considered as (indirectly) "paid contributions", although it is not part of my job description per se. In any case, I always endeavour to edit in an objective manner, and take full personal responsibility for my edits. The project page is at Wikipedia:Meetup/Sydney/University of Sydney Wikibomb. If you have any concerns about the event or edits associated with it, please contact me and I will be happy to investigate. Most of the editors were newcomers to Wiki - so please treat them nicely!

Similarly, we have organised other editathons which I participate in. The project pages are Wikipedia:Meetup/Sydney/USyd2018 and Wikipedia:WriteWomenUSYD.

The City of Sydney has contracted me to run three editathons during 2021 and four in 2022, during which time I will demonstrate editing using their content. These are documented at project pages Wikipedia:GLAM/Australian libraries and WP/Events/City of Sydney Picture This Wikipedia:GLAM/Australian_libraries_and_WP/Events/City_of_Sydney_First_Nations and Wikipedia:GLAM/Australian libraries and WP/Events/City of Sydney Hands on history.
