I am a Wikipedian in Queensland, Australia.

My nickname is derived from a combination of my name and the 1990s computer game Commander Keen, although I haven't played the game extensively.

[edit] Wikipedia did you know...

...that you can use google to search just the Wikipedia site. Eg, at Google just use "site:en.wikipedia.org/ Foo".
...if you use Firefox you can go to any Wikipedia article by typing "wp Article name" into the address bar. Currently you have to set up a bookmark to do this though.
...that newcomers can place {{helpme}} on their talk page to get assistance. Questions can be anything to do with improving the encyclopedia (technical etc).
...that many Wikipedians like to communicate via IRC chatrooms. You can often find me in the #wikipedia-en-help chat room on the freenode network. You can try connecting to #wikipedia-en-help via the Web-based client. If you are stuck behind a firewall that doesn't allow IRC (at work/school etc) you can try http://ircatwork.com/, Server: irc.freenode.net, Channel: #wikipedia-en-help
...that you can use the toolserver tool Nubio to search hundreds of Wikipedia FAQs.
...that MediaWiki software developers use Bugzilla to keep track of bugs and feature requests. You can votes for bugs, take a look at a list of the most voted for bugs.
...that at the bottom of a user's Special:Contributions page (eg) there are tools to view user rights, articles created and more.
