Hello I'm a Wikipedian editor and administrator who lives in Jedburgh in Scotland. I've worked as an engineer, teacher, an information technologist and lecturer. I've worked for Rolls-Royce and co-written 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'm currently trying to write an article about a woman every day again (453 days (so far)). I was at the Monthly Women in Red meetings in Edinburgh - I was at #77 on 27 September 2023 virtually. In 2020 I completed writing an article a day for a year. My first run of one every day started on 22 March 2020 as the first? UK lockdown started 1,456 days ago and lasted for ~360 days. In August 2021 I spoke at Wikimania 2021. (My ''Fourth'' virtual appearance at a Wikimania).
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]
