In 2008 I wrote my thesis entitled ''"The Academic Lineage of Wikipedia: Connections and Disconnections in the Theory and Practice of History"'' at [[University of New South Wales|UNSW]]. This draws parallels between academic debates on such topics as Truth, Authorship and Freedom and our own similar debates. I believe that we can learn a great deal from these longstanding debates in professional [[historiography]] and, correspondingly, both academia should recognise our pedigree - there is much each can appreciate from the other.

Speaking at Wikimania Buenos Aires
GLAM / British Museum project contributor

In the real world I am Liam Wyatt (the username is an anagram).

In June 2010 I had the role of "Volunteer Wikipedian in Residence" at the British Museum. You can read about this exciting project at WP:GLAM/BM. Since then I was made "Wikimedia Foundation Cultural Parnerships Fellow" for a year to work on ways of improving the Wikimedia Community's capacity to undertake effective GLAM projects. The homepage for this work is:

http://GLAMWIKI.org

I was most recently a Project Officer at AustLII, formerly the Multimedia Coordinator at the Dictionary of Sydney. I was also the Vice President of Wikimedia Australia, was the convener of the GLAM-WIKI conferences in Australia, in England and Wikimedia @ Museums and the Web 2010 Workshop.

the British Museum Reading Room

You may know me as the interviewer and panel member for the WikipediaWeekly Podcast. I have interviewed a range of people including:

In 2008 I wrote my thesis entitled "The Academic Lineage of Wikipedia: Connections and Disconnections in the Theory and Practice of History" at UNSW. This draws parallels between academic debates on such topics as Truth, Authorship and Freedom and our own similar debates. I believe that we can learn a great deal from these longstanding debates in professional historiography and, correspondingly, both academia should recognise our pedigree - there is much each can appreciate from the other.

I have since received my marks and was awarded the Degree - First Class and the "UNSW 2008 University Medal for history"!

For an awesome interview podcast -- Tawker
