About Me

Hello! Thank you for visiting my userpage.

I joined Wikipedia in 2016 to create a page dedicated to Tommie Earl Jenkins so I could document the process of making a page from a stub and teach my students at Charles Sturt University how to become editors for their Wikipedia assignments.

I hold a PhD in ecology, parasitology and ornithology, so mostly try and ensure the scientific accuracy of pages on Wikipedia.

My current activities include:

making pages for scientists [Note: as a scientist myself, this counts as a conflict of interest, however, as I scientist I am trained to use dispassionate language and always use verified sources and not my own knowledge (except for photographs)].
watching films and checking details of the films against Wikipedia, especially as regards to animal identification.
working on ectoparasite stubs (mostly fleas, lice and hippoboscid flies at the moment).
Live editing Lego Masters
Working on the species and taxonomy of Crassothonna and Othonna
