Biography
My current activities on the English Wikipedia are primarily checkuser related. I am frequently found on the Sockpuppet Investigations pages there. However, I am also active in other areas, such as the Articles for creation and Requests for Adminship processes. In my day job, I am the Associate Product Manager for Platform at the Wikimedia Foundation. My task is to help maintain and improve MediaWiki, the software that runs Wikipedia. As Wikimedia UK is a separate entity from the Wikimedia Foundation, my employment with the Wikimedia Foundation does not affect my status as a volunteer for Wikmedia UK. |
