Possible conflicts of interest

I often edit articles of interest to me, but I have particular conflicts of interest on the following articles and articles relating to them. I may update them and related articles, but I intend to maintain NPOV for any updates, and I try to make a point of always citing sources for changes I make.

If you think I'm breaching WP:COI, please revert first. I'll probably notice this on my watch list and respond, although I'd be grateful for a note on my talk page or the article talk page explaining where you think I've gone wrong. (And if the discussion's on the article talk page, a note pointing me to it on my talk page would be very much appreciated.)

• I am an employee of Metaswitch as a software developer. Public relations and so on are not part of my job; I receive no reward from Metaswitch for any edits I make to Wikipedia.
• I consider authors Frances Hardinge and Adrian Czajkowski to be friends.
• I am an active player of Profound Decisions' LARP games.

To-do

There's no specific order here, but the count is to help me keep it at 10 items or less. If it gets more than that I'll delete things; there's no point in me keeping tasks I'm never going to complete.

1. Add something to lead of Metaswitch about employment rigour, Times Top 100 placement, etc. Be careful about WP:COI; I'll need to get another editor (or more) to agree to add the content.
2. Tidy up and copy-edit Zip (file format)
3. Work on Profound Decisions
4. Propose move of WP:LAME
5. Tidy up and copy-edit Curious Pastimes
6. Update the awards list on Metaswitch
7. Establish consensus for setting up auto-archive on Talk:FLOPS
8. Clean up Talking therapies
9. Clean up IDC
10. Clean up Sup

Adminship

I'd quite like to be an admin. I've seen the useful things other admins do, and I've seen things that I'd like to help with. I don't think I'm ready yet (or at least I think it would be very unlikely for me to achieve adminship if I nominated myself), but here's a bit of reading to get started:

• User:Porchcrop/Getting adminship
• Wikipedia:Administrators' reading list
• Wikipedia:Admin coaching
• Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship

Projects &c.

I've never gotten around to joining any WikiProjects. Perhaps I ought. Here's some potentially interesting ones…

• WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors
• Requests for feedback
• Editor review
• WikiProject Disambiguation
• WikiProject Fact and Reference Check
• WikiProject Unreferenced articles
• WikiProject Citation cleanup
• WikiProject Copyright Cleanup
• WikiProject Laundromat
