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.

Talking to Wikipedians

Besides the Village pump and article-related talk pages, there are other ways to talk to Wikipedians. The English IRC channel is quite popular, regularly reaching up to 300 users. If you care about our policies and general Wikimedia-related matters, you may also want to consider subscribing to one of the mailing lists (high traffic!).

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.
