About me

Hi there, I'm Damien Linnane. I am originally from Sydney, Australia and have been editing Wikipedia since 2008. I can't say I became a Wikipedian for any specific purpose, rather I just improve articles that interest me and fill gaps in the literature where I see them. Outside of Wikipedia I work as the editor of the magazine Paper Chained, and am completing a PhD at the University of Newcastle. I also work infrequently as both an artist and a writer. Publications that have printed my writing include 10 daily, The Big Smoke, Eureka Street, Alternative Law Journal and the Medical Journal of Australia. Places my art has been exhibited include the San Francisco Public Library and The Lock-Up, and I am the illustrator of the book This Is Ear Hustle.

Listed below is all the content I successfully brought to good or featured status. Articles in bold were also created by me.
