I am best known by my account on the English Language Wikipedia under the same name. I have been contributing to Wikipedia since the summer of 2007; I am approaching 80,000 edits, and have sometimes been among the top 400 most active editors.

At the Wikipedia Day 10th Birthday Bash in NYC I gave the keynote address. In recent years I have been interviewed about Wikipedia on film, on video, and by radio, print and online journalists. In 2011, my image and words appeared on a worldwide fundraising appeal banner for Wikipedia which was shown in over 200 languages.

I currently have three submissions to WikiCon USA 2014:

  • The Gender Gap
  • Why paid editing is a really bad idea
  • Why people contribute to Wikipedia
