Dan Garry Trainer, Wikimedia UK

Biography I started editing the English Wikipedia in June 2005. I became an administrator in 2006, and gained bureaucrat, checkuser, and oversight rights in 2007. I served as a member of the Arbitration Committee in 2008. As of February 2013, I am a member of the Wikimedia Foundation's Ombudsman Commission. 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 a PhD student in Systems Biology at the University of Manchester. As an undergraduate I studied for and was awarded a Bachelor's degree (with Honours) in Computer Science and Mathematics, also from the University of Manchester.
