Kia oraEdit

Welcome to my user pages. Kia ora is a Māori language greeting that has entered New Zealand English and is translated as an informal "hi".

Wikipedia interestsEdit

Having chosen New Zealand as my home, I take an interest in anything from my adopted country. I have a special interest in:

geography (built environment and water),
history
people
politics
civil engineering
transport (especially cycling)
and somehow, I've become interested in rowing; between December 2017 and August 2018 I wrote articles for the European Rowing Championships covering the editions from 1893 to 1973 (65 articles) plus started circa 450 rowing bios in support of that exercise

Related projectsEdit

I have an account on flickr, but I don't hold photo files there. The account's purpose is to hunt for photos that are suitable for Wikipedia. I am active on Commons, where I upload my own photos and those from flickr that have a suitable licence. Since 2017, I've been reasonably active on Wikidata. Prior to 2009, I had a separate account for another Wikipedia project and ArbCom agreed to courtesy vanish the account for privacy reasons.
