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.

Welcoming Committee

Would you like to get more involved, find some new friends, or just lend a helping hand? The Welcoming Committee is a great way to contribute. There are no requirements for membership (other than the fact that you must be extra nice to newcomers) and it's wikifun!

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.
