I'm Ada Cable. New editor, enjoying browsing logged in so I can fix things more.
ATM I'm trying to overly document my edits and make it clear that I'm editing in good faith- I may mess up policy knowledge(frequently) but I've found wikipedias efforts to maintain a factual focus and disclose balanced opinions incredibly helpful in the past and I'm not interested in damaging that, even if it means writing things I disagree with personally.
I'm one of the terrible arts background people who place a lot of importance on implicit meanings and the ways facts are represented in technically accurate but misleading ways, and where it's possible to maintain clarity, I generally prefer to present more information with context, rather than discarding context in favour of a single conclusion.
If you google me you'll find misleading articles about me by trans hate groups(unlinked), my twitter, and probably the blog. Currently work in healthcare advocacy for people who experience Transmisogyny. Moving into International solidarity and prisons work.
Mostly editing things I run into which are incorrect, misleading or poorley sourced as I read- this probably means edits around:
- Healthcare, especially autonomy within healthcare, informed consent, coercion, and misrepresentitive advertisment of treatments (I work in healthcare advocacy).
- Policing(likley especially the met), prisons, state power, use of force, conflict, insurgency, colonialism and non-state political structures(also, work and activism overlap space).
- Making and manufacturing, design, and systems.
You'll probably not see me editing political theory articles, despite doing a lot of political things- Theory is boring, doing things is interesting.
