User:Waitabout
I am a heritage professional with over 40 years work experience in the sector as a conservationist, museologist, historian and manager working in South Africa, on the African continent, in the Middle East and around the world. I create and edit mainly heritage and history related articles on the English and occasionally the Afrikaans Wikipedias and contribute images to Creative Commons. I am a life member of Wiki Media South Africa and have been involved with formal training and mentoring new Wikipedians from my home country.
