I am from Canberra, and I created and edited various types of pages, including articles, categories and redirects. My real name is Sebastian, but you can also call me Bas.

Redirects, personal life and edit history
Some of the redirects I created on Wikipedia or helped to create include: the Belconnen Mall redirect page, which does currently redirect to Westfield Belconnen, thanks to me. The reason why I created that redirect is because the name itself is an alternative name of the shopping centre. Another redirect I help to create is the 10 Canberra redirect page, which currently redirects to CTC (TV station) because that name is the station's LCN name in Canberra. I also have improved existing redirect targets.

I met then-Australian of the Year, Dylan Alcott on 1 September 2022, at the Jobs and Skills Summit at the Parliament House, after being interviewed by the Disability Royal Commission in June that year, hence I am connected to the commission and Alcott, per the conflict of interest guidelines. My back appeared on Nine News on 29 September 2023, in a story about the Royal Commission's final report. I have a Cerebral Palsy disability, which doesn't affect my edits to Wikimedia wikis.

Since January 2022, I am a Alfred Deakin High School student. I am not connected to the school's staff as a student. In fact, I edited the school article four times. In my first edit to the article, I added some information about the new principal, Mr Brian Downton. In my second edit to the article, I added information about the school discovering lead paint contamination in August 2020 during construction of the school hall, becoming the third school in the ACT to do so. In my third edit to the article, I added additional references via the National Library of Australia's Trove service and in my fourth edit to the article, I added even more references and corrected information about the school. I have been contributing to Wikipedia for and have been alive for.

I originally started editing Australian television channel articles in October 2018, however did not edit consistently until July/August 2022. I am also interested in improving articles (especially Australian articles) with the best references I can access, such as using EBSCOhost, Trove, Newspapers.com (via The Wikipedia Library), NewsBank and ProQuest to access Australian and NZ newspapers. I have branched out into technology articles from Apple and Samsung (such as the Apple Vision Pro, the Apple car project and the Samsung Galaxy S24) as I like technology. I edited the Australian Television Network redirect on 27 August 2022 under a IP address, but quickly logged back in afterwards.

My edit milestones include: My first edit on Wikipedia on 13 October 2018, to the Sky News Extra article, adding the then-new Your Money TV channel, to the info-box of the article. I gained 1,000 edits on Wednesday 21 September 2022. I gained 2,000 edits on 3 December 2022. I gained 3,000 edits on Sunday 15 January 2023. I gained 4,000 edits on 9 March 2023. I gained 5,000 edits on 5 May 2023. I planned to gain 6,000 non-deleted edits by 1 November 2023. I achieved this goal on 31 October 2023, editing my draft article Draft:1SSS. I achieved 7,000 edits on 7 April 2024, editing Teenage Boss.

This account was previously called Bassie f, because I tried to make a username, back in October 2018, when this account was created, until this account was renamed to TechGeek105 on 1 April 2023. I tried asking to rename this account to BTA-wiki on 26 August 2023, but it was rejected as a business name. BTA stands for Bas Tech Australia, which is my YouTube channel brand currently. I will keep this username for a minimum of 6 months.

I have a global Wikimedia account, so as a result I also contribute to Wikimedia Commons, other language Wikipedia sites including the French Wikipedia and Wikidata.

Feel free to sign my guestbook whilst you are here, if you want to.

These are my contributions. Link if you need to email me. My talk page.
