I am at an IWD training session at the University of Edinburgh / University of Hogwarts.

I read an interesting article in the Guardian and I can cite it after the full stop.{{Cite news |last=Horton |first=Helena |last2=reporter |first2=Helena Horton Environment |date=2025-02-28 |title=Beaver releases into wild to be allowed in England for first time in centuries |url=https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/feb/28/beavers-released-english-waterways-government-licence |access-date=2025-02-28 |work=The Guardian |language=en-GB |issn=0261-3077}}{{Cite news |last=Devlin |first=Hannah |last2=correspondent |first2=Hannah Devlin Science |date=2025-03-07 |title=Gene-edited non-browning banana could cut food waste, scientists say |url=https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/mar/07/gene-edited-non-browning-banana-cut-food-waste-tropic-norwich |access-date=2025-03-07 |work=The Guardian |language=en-GB |issn=0261-3077}}

I will do a keyword search of the 85 million free to use images in Wikipedia's sister project, Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository. I can upload my own 'open-licensed' images to Wikimedia Commons if they are my own work, public domain or CC-0, CC-BY or CC-BY-SA licensed. I can look for open licensed images using image search aggregator tools like the Creative Commons "CC Search tool" and filtering my search for Public domain, CC-0, CC-BY or CC-BY-SA images.

These appear at the foot of the Wikipedia page and are added to published pages in the Wikipedia main article space. You can find categories in the Visual Editor dropdown menu indicated with 3 horizontal lines.

Hi, I'm Stinglehammer (Ewan).

{{Infobox Wikipedia user|name=Ewan McAndrew|country=Scotland}}

I'm employed as a Wikimedian in Residence at The University of Edinburgh.

I have a second Wikipedia account (User:EMcAndrew) which I use for training purposes. And User:VidEwan for video tutorials.

This is one of the many reasons why we do this: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnKhVajQ6rw WATCH "Life in a Day - Abel and his laptop"] (with thanks to Martin Poulter for providing the heads up on the link)

If you ever feel like getting involved in some of our projects or training sessions then message me, by all means. I'd be glad to hear from you.

The old project page for the residency is located here: Wikipedia:University of Edinburgh and my blog is here: http://thinking.is.ed.ac.uk/wir/. [https://www.ed.ac.uk/information-services/help-consultancy/is-skills/wikimedia But our new (since 2020) student-created website can be accessed here.]

I have an MA in English (Literature & Language) & Modern History from University of Glasgow, a postgraduate diploma (PgDip) in Software Development from Glasgow Caledonian University and a PGDE in English & Media Teaching from University of Strathclyde. I also hold a TEFL certificate from I-to-I and have undertaken short courses in creative writing & screenwriting. I most recently completed on the Information Management MSc course at the University of Northumbria (accredited by CILIP and the ARA).

Our students have helped created a Wikidata map of Accused Witches in Scotland: [http://witches.is.ed.ac.uk Accused Witches in Scotland]

We created a new booklet of case studies of Wikimedia in the Curriculum (UK) which is available at: [https://open.ed.ac.uk/wikimedia-in-education/ Wikimedia in UK Education]

We hosted the first Celtic and Minority Language Wikipedia Conference in 2017 and happily this has been repeated every year since with hosts such as the National Library of Wales, the University of Exeter/Cornish Wikipedia, Wikimedia Ireland, and Wikimedia Norge.

I love travelling, music, history, cinema and literature, and this all feeds into my regular day-job of teaching of English & Media Studies. I'm interested in all kinds of stories (movies, books, plays) and create my own stories from time to time. Above all, I'm passionate about the idea of lifelong learning and broadening your horizons. Hence why I'm here and why I'm trying to learn how to play the guitar, piano and mandolin (all very badly).
