I am a student of social media, and a consultant with Collabforge. I have a keen interest in open government and participatory democracy.

I love wiffle ball and recently added to the page there. I also love disc golf and foosball and generally the plastic or tabletop version of any real sport.

I am currently working with EPA Victoria in Australia to help them establish a Wikipedia page. We have worked with them to improve the neutral point of view of the text they supplied, to publish text on their behalf, and to provide advice on staying withing Wikipedia norms and guidelines.

My focus is to establish an accurate, comprehensive, and neutral article for this agency which I honestly believe is sufficiently notable to be included in Wikipedia. I am fully aware of the issues surrounding conflict of interest in this case, and will do my best to adhere to community norms and wikipedia guidelines. Please let me know if there is a way that I can do this better.

I have reviewed the following in preparing to edit this article. Please let me know what other materials I should read:
