Hello I'm a Wikipedian editor and administrator 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. 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 try to write an article about a woman every day ( days (so far)). I was at the Monthly Women in Red meetings in Edinburgh - I was at #77 in 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 days ago and lasted for ~360 days. In August 2021 I spoke at Wikimania 2021. (My Fourth virtual appearance at a Wikimania).

Wiki CV


I was the 3rd Wikipedian in Residence (first British). 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. It is still used in Bremenpedia, Joburgpedia, Freopedia, Toodyaypedia and in education applications in Algeria. 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. 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. For Ada Lovelace Day I was involved with a 24 hour editathon at AdaWiki24.org which was covered by several news outlets.
