User:Jdforrester
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There's little to say about myself with regards to Wikimedia; some comically out-of-date personal information is on my personal website, for the intensely curious. If you want, you can contact me off-wiki at jdforrester@gmail.com, or via the built-in emailing page; I also hang around on (freenode) IRC a great deal as "James_F" (or, rather, my computer does - I'm often away). You can, of course, leave a message on my talk page.
Please, feel free to edit my page. This is a wiki, after all. And anyway, I can always revert you ;-).
[edit] Stuff I do
- On Wikipedia, the reward for a job well done is another three jobs. — David Gerard
- It may not be what your job or wife need, but you should have thought of that before you demonstrated sanity — Phil Sandifer
- English Wikipedia
- Formerly an Arbitrator, I'm now just a 'regular joe', editing a little when I have the time.
- Commons
- Sysop/policy development stuff. Rarely, as I have too little time. :-(
- Meta
- Sysop/RC patrol stuff. Not that often, sadly.
- IRC
- I'm formerly the head of the meta:IRC Group Contacts, but now just a normal participant (except for a few scattered channels where I'm a chanop or even channel contact).
- Foundation
- I served for a while as the Chief Research Officer (now "Chief Research Co-ordinator") of the Foundation. I take part in advice and development, press, OTRS, legal fire-fighting, and all the usual stuff. "Gopher", perhaps. :-)
- Wikimania
- Gopher-in-chief. Or something. I dunno, ask Delphine, she bosses me about very effectively. :-)
- Chapter (m:Wikimedia UK)
- I served as the Secretary and one of the Board for over a year until a conflict of interest forced me off. I'm a member of Wikimedia NL.
- Mailing lists
- Reading all the usual, admining on a few other things.
[edit] Extra-project Wikipedian acquaintances
This is a pro-active listing of individuals with whom I might be considered to have a Conflict of Interest were any user behaviour dispute to arise.
