Hello I'm a Wikipedian editor and admin who lives in Jedburgh in Scotland. I've worked as an engineer, an information technologist and lecturer. I worked for Rolls-Royce and co-wrote pantomimes.[1] I have spoken and trained about Wikipedia in several countries from Norway to Israel and in Monmouth, Gibraltar, most Universities in the East Midlands, Edinburgh Uni and UCI.
I wrote an article about a woman every day and I achieved 600 days on 11 Aug 2024. I was at the Monthly Women in Red meetings in Edinburgh. Previously in 2020 I completed writing an article a day for almost a year. My first run of one every day started on 22 March 2020 as the first? UK lockdown started 1,687 days ago and lasted for ~360 days. In August 2021 I spoke at Wikimania 2021. (My ''Fourth'' virtual appearance at a Wikimania).
Wiki CV
[edit]
I was the 3rd Wikipedian in Residence (first British).[3] I gave a TEDx talk in Bristol that launched a wikiproject or two. I co-founded QRpedia, Monmouthpedia and Women in Red. QRpedia was donated to Wikimedia UK.[4] It is still used in Bremenpedia, Joburgpedia, Freopedia, Toodyaypedia and in education applications in Algeria.[5] I was chair of WikimediaUK when it became a charity and gained its first staffed office. I've spoken about Wikipedia related projects in Israel, Europe, America and Africa. Noted editathon at the Pankhurst centre.[6] At Xmas 2023 I had written 2350 articles about women.
I have worked on QRpedia projects in Derby, Monmouth, Johannesburg, Bremen, Toodyay, Fremantle, Odessa (etc) and in 2022 I'm still working on Women in Red.[7] For Ada Lovelace Day I was involved with a 24 hour editathon at AdaWiki24.org which was covered by several news outlets.[8][9][10]
