How I contribute to Wikipedia

[edit]

I only intend to be a casual Wikipedia editor, but I will help in three main ways:

  1. Some cleanup: I will fix typos on sight, and time permitting I will fix grammar, add relevant tags where a page needs improvements and work on formatting and layout problems.
  2. Photography: I am happy to be 'commissioned' (for free) to take any needed photographs in my local area. I will also attempt to keep an eye on Wikipedia's requested pictures and help out where I can.
  3. Graphic design: I am a competent amateur graphic designer, willing to be 'commissioned' for diagrams or illustrations. I have vector skills (Inkscape, Illustrator), image editing skills (Photoshop pro) and 3D skills (LightWave).

Contact me

[edit]

The best way to contact me is via Twitter. Or my talk page, of course.

Resources, reference and reading

[edit]

For my own benefit.

Your customizable Wikipedia navigation hub

With its own link at the top of every page, your user page is as accessible as Wikipedia's Main Page. Because of this, it is your very own Wikipedia bookmark page: just place your favorite Wikipedia and external reference links on your user page, and you can access them from anywhere on Wikipedia.

In Firefox, you can also get there instantly by typing Alt+⇧ Shift+. (Other browser's access keys for your user page are covered in Wikipedia:Keyboard shortcuts, but they all include a period).

To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd}}

Disclaimers

[edit]

I was previously employed by BBC Cymru Wales. A small part of my role was adding relevant and high-quality links to Wikipedia. I am aware of Wikipedia's external links policy and conflict of interest guidance, and intend to uphold these standards and values. For transparency, I will keep a list of my BBC related edits.
