Hello I'm a Wikipedian editor and administrator who lives in Jedburgh in Scotland. I've worked as an engineer, teacher, consultant, an information technologist, lecturer and manager. I've worked for Rolls-Royce. 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 got mentioned in January 2019 in the Washington Post's story about Wikipedia coming of age because of Women in Red. I worked on the #wikiWomeninRed tweetfeed and their projects in general.
I was at the Monthly Women in Red meetings in Edinburgh. I was at #44 in January 2021 virtually. In October 2020 I completed trying to write an article a day for a year. I failed some days but I completed ~450 articles. My run of one every day started on 22 March 2020 as the first? UK lockdown started 494 days ago and lasted for ~360 days.
Wiki CV
I was the 3rd Wikipedian in Residence (first British).[2][dead link] I co-founded QRpedia, Monmouthpedia and Women in Red. QRpedia is still used in Bremenpedia, Joburgpedia, Freopedia, Toodyaypedia and in education applications in Algeria.[3] 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.[4]
I have worked on QRpedia projects in Derby, Monmouth, Johannesburg, Bremen, Toodyay, Fremantle, Odessa (etc) and in 2020 I'm still working on Women in Red.[5]
