A retired university lecturer and published author, he is widely travelled including several weeks in the USSR in 1972 and has lived abroad for over 50 years including stays of 17 years in Germany (Niedersachsen and Berlin), 12 years in France (Avignon), and Thailand where he now lives since 2000 (with several short periods in India). His interests that influence his Wikipedia contributions are in linguistics, teaching methodology, music, (classical, Bebop, and Fusion), French avant-gard theatre, 19th century English and French theatre and literature, UK television comedy, wine (Côtes du Rhône and some Burgundy), and German and French cuisine. He joined Wikipedia in 2006 and was made an administrator in 2011. His focus was on reforms of RfA and co-developing new page quality control systems. He has created and provided content mainly for articles on Malvern related settlements and Rhône Valley wines, biographies (especially of women and musicians). He coordinated the large WikiProject Schools and its associated articles for a decade, created the WikiProject Worcestershire, and and occasionally does translations from other Wikipedias to English of important missing articles of all kinds. He is a former de facto Editor-in-Chief of the Wikipedia newspaper The Signpost for which he has also written several articles. He has attended Wikimania conferences and meetups on several continents. In order to maintain reliable sources for articles, Kudpung donates to the [https://archive.org/ Internet Archive]. He continues to participate actively in NPP. People often ask where the name Kudpung (IPA: /ˈkəd ˈpʌŋ/) comes from: 'While my house was being built in a small remote settlement near Udon in 2006, the local council was erecting a new village name sign on the road in front of my land. 'Kudpung' it said, and as I sat down to register a Wikipedia account a few moments later, it was the first word that came into my mind.' (the district council has since changed the Romanised spelling to Kut Phueng) |
