This user has earned the 1000 Edits Award. This user created the Suffragette penny article.

My primary interest is in women and other marginalised histories. Working to bridge the knowledge gap one page at a time.

I joined Wikipedia as part of an International Women's Day editathon in 2022. As part of that I began editing the Hunger Strike Medal page and tracking down the medals. I believe it's now the most complete list of medal recipients in the world. Coming out of that, I was asked to write a blog post for Wikimedia UK about my experiences as a newbie editor.

Created the Suffragette penny page, which is hopefully doing its bit to counter misinformation. It also led to me identifying potentially a previously unknown example but still awaiting confirmation on that.
