About me

I am a longtime Wikipedian. I have been an active editor since 2004, and an administrator since 2005. I've written dozens of articles and made thousands of edits. I have been an arbitrator, oversighter, and CheckUser, and have served as an administrator on the English Wiktionary, English Wikisource, and Meta-Wiki.

These days, I mostly work in the GLAM-related areas. I previously served as a Wikipedian in Residence at the US National Archives (from 2011-2012 and 2013-2019) and, briefly, the Smithsonian Institution (2013). I have been very active in working on bulk imports, to both Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata. I have also performed work on behalf of the Cleveland Museum of Art, developing their Wikidata bot. I have a strong interest in building capacity and community, and have been very involved in developing the GLAM Boot Camp. I follow (and exceed) all requirements related to conflict of interest for all these various positions I have held. Because the list has gotten long over more than a decade of work, I please see /Affiliations for more information on all my past and current paid work.

My work

I am a paid employee of the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA). I work to make DPLA's cultural artifacts more accessible to the public by sharing them on Wikimedia Commons and making them available to Wikipedia for use in articles. When I am editing Wikipedia as part of my professional duties, I always strive to strictly abide by Wikipedia's accepted practices on conflicts of interest, neutrality, and notability. I will always work in the best interest of Wikipedia, because that is in line with DPLA's educational mission. You can read more about this project at [https://dp.la/news/dpla-cultural-artifacts-coming-to-wikipedia-through-new-collaboration-with-wikimedia-foundation our announcement].

If you have any questions about my role, or if there is any way I or DPLA can help you in your work on Wikipedia, please get in touch!
