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.

Transclusion caveat

When you transclude a page (that is, automate the display of a page's content on another page), all its tags (like {{TOCRight}}) go with it, which will be implemented on the host page. Just add the following code if you want to add a right-aligned TOC to a page, but do not want it to be displayed on "derivative" pages:

<noinclude> {{TOCright}} </noinclude>

For a more detailed explanation, see Help:Wiki markup#Templates and transcluding pages.

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

Awesome external links edit

References edit

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.
