__NOTOC__

About me

I'm Graham Pearce from Perth, Western Australia, now living in Busselton, about {{convert|220|km}} south-west of Perth. I'm interested in music – mostly classical music, number theory and the history and geography of Western Australia. I'm totally blind, and have been so since birth, due to retinopathy of prematurity. I use the screen reader JAWS, with a speech synthesiser, to access the Internet. Most of my contributions to Wikipedia are copyediting and article cleanups, but I also make more substantial edits. I've written a timeline of my activities on this site, along with a series I called Today's whacked-out Wikipedia whimsy.

My page history work

I enjoy checking through old history entries in Wikipedia and fixing cut-and-paste moves where needed, also known as history-merging (see the paragraph below for how I can do this as a non-admin). I've noted some observations about page-history anomalies at User:Graham87/Page history observations, and I've written some notes about getting information out of old database dumps at User:Graham87/SHA-1. I also enjoy importing old edits from the Nostalgia Wikipedia and other old database dumps; I've written some notes about the procedure I use at User:Graham87/Import.

I became an administrator in 2007, started the discussion that enabled transwiki imports on this site in 2009 (with old Wikipedia history, rather than other language versions of Wikipedia, in mind), became an importer in 2013 (with the ability to import text from any MediaWiki database), and lost my adminship in 2024 due to over-aggressive blocking. After losing my adminship, I was still able to do database imports of all types because I kept my importer user right and the use of the history merge special page was added to it shortly afterwards. As of the time of writing this (27 November 2024), there is only [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ListUsers?username=&group=import&wpsubmit=&wpFormIdentifier=mw-listusers-form&limit=50 one other importer on this site] (who is an admin among other things), so I am the only non-admin without global userrights who can do history merges here.

Articles I've started or expanded

I especially enjoy it when other people make constructive edits related to these articles. The articles are listed chronologically:

It's the kind of thing sorely lacking as of late, especially from some of the old-timers that should know better. It's what Wikipedia needs more of these days.

style="vertical-align: middle; padding: 3px;" | For showing that, no matter what kind of disability one may have, they can always improve Wikipedia. While I may never understand what it's like to be blind (in the sense that not even glasses can help), from what I do understand it makes Wikipedia a bit more difficult, and yet you still manage to pull through. Keep up the good work. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 05:02, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
