I am Pete Forsyth. I have been a Wikipedian and Wikimedian since 2006 (and using wikis since about 2003). Wikimedia is both a personal passion, and central to my professional career. Here are a few items that connect to WikiConference North America:

• I presented Fighting Fake News with Real Information: Newspapers on Wikipedia at WikiConference North America 2019.
• Along with Shanluan, I'm working on the News on Wiki (NOW) campaign, as part of the WikiCred grant program, as of mid-2020.
• I wrote "Trusting Everybody to Work Together," an essay on the lessons from Wikipedia's first 20 years, for Wikipedia at 20, a forthcoming book edited by Joseph Reagle and Jackie Koerner.
• I wrote "How Wikipedia dodged public outcry that plagues social media platforms," to highlight some of Wikipedia's strengths to a broad audience; it was published by Misinfocon, sponsor of WikiConference North America 2019, in early 2020.
