Kia ora

Welcome to my user pages. Kia ora is a Māori language greeting that has entered New Zealand English and is translated as an informal "hi".

Wikipedia interests

Having chosen New Zealand as my home, I take an interest in anything from my adopted country. I have a special interest in:

• geography (built environment and water),
• history
• people
• politics
• civil engineering
• transport (especially cycling)
• and somehow, I've become interested in rowing; between December 2017 and August 2018 I wrote articles for the European Rowing Championships covering the editions from 1893 to 1973 (65 articles) plus started circa 450 rowing bios in support of that exercise

Related projects

I have an account on flickr, but I don't hold photo files there. The account's purpose is to hunt for photos that are suitable for Wikipedia. I am active on Commons, where I upload my own photos and those from flickr that have a suitable licence. Since 2017, I've been reasonably active on Wikidata. Prior to 2009, I had a separate account for another Wikipedia project and ArbCom agreed to courtesy vanish the account for privacy reasons.

Conflict of interest

There are many people with bios on Wikipedia who I know well enough to have a conflict of interest (COI). I thus should not make edits to their articles (and note that I don't regard making minor edits as possibly triggering COI). I haven't always adhered to the COI policy (I have since I have become an administrator) and there are some people whose pages I edited in the past who I didn't know at that point, but I do know now. There are some links to Wikidata and that means that these people are notable; feel free to start a page for them. This COI list is probably incomplete:

• Margaret Austin
• Tim Barnett
• Peter Beck
• Hans Bernsdorff
• Vicki Buck
• Brendon Burns
• Pippa Coom
• Dave Cull
• Lianne Dalziel
• Chris Darby
• Mike Dickison
• Andy Foster
• Julie Anne Genter
• Jürgen Gerlach
• Kevin Hague
• Glen Koorey
• John Lieswyn
• Garry Moore
• Denis O'Rourke
• Lan Pham
• Eugenie Sage
• Alastair Smith
• Chlöe Swarbrick
• Deon Swiggs
• Sara Templeton
• Bernd Stute
• Phil Twyford
• Sarah Ulmer
• Celia Wade-Brown
• Nicky Wagner
• Mike Ward
• Duncan Webb
• Sue Wells
• Alistair Woodward
