What I do here: counter-vandalism, citation cleanup, copy-editing, Teahouse and help desk, Resource Exchange, and sometimes I even have time to improve articles or write new ones.

I joined Wikipedia in 2001 (before MediaWiki!) and have had fluctuating levels of activity here depending on my IRL commitments. I've become more active again in 2021 as I've come to appreciate how important Wikipedia has become as the world's online encyclopedia. I have mostly been working on WikiGnome activities to keep Wikipedia reliable, credible, and encyclopedic, as well as continuing to improve articles and sometimes create new ones.

Past and current academic, professional, and personal interests include, but are not limited to: libraries and archives, academia, digital humanities, data science, web development, free and open source software, open knowledge, Australian history, church history, queer theology and history, health communication and public health, politics, journalism and media.

I have access to electronic resources through the State Library of Victoria and am willing to assist with reasonable, fair-dealing resource requests through the Resource Exchange.

Conflicts of interest

This user has publicly declared that she has a conflict of interest regarding these Wikipedia articles:

• Australian Queer Archives
• Australian Greens Victoria
• Australian Greens

LGBTIQ+ history

Since mid-2021 I have been employed in an administrative role by the Australian Queer Archives, previously called the Australian Lesbian and Gay Archives. I may update the Archives' name and URL in the References, Further reading, and External links sections of LGBTIQ-related articles as I find them, but will not engage in substantive content editing related to the Archives or any partner organisations.

Australian politics

I am a former member and employee of the Australian Greens Victoria, which is a constituent party of the Australian Greens. I am interested in keeping politics, government, and election content on Wikipedia reliable, respectful, and up-to-date, regardless of policies or beliefs. I watch various political articles for my usual gnomish tasks of citation cleanup, copy-editing, and undoing vandalism. I will seek consensus on substantial reorganisation or rewriting, and will not contribute substantial content to any articles on Greens parties, members, representatives, or candidates for election.

Citation cleanup

• First steps:
  • Fill out bare URLs with ReFill
  • First citation fix with Sources
  • Second citation fix with Citation bot
• Overview:
  • Is there a References section with correct {{reflist}} usage?
  • Is there a Bibliography section with correct {{citation}} templates used for all items?
  • Do any items in Further reading also appear in References/Bibliography?
  • Are there any External links that should be properly referenced in the main text?
• Section by section:
  • Fill out or correct {{sfn}} usage if relevant
  • Fill out or correct {{citation}} template usage
  • Change generic citation templates to Specific-source templates where appropriate
  • Verify that citation parameters match the source
• If I have the time and inclination:
  • Verify that citations back up article text
  • Can I find better sources to replace the unreliable/deprecated ones marked red by CiteHighlighter?

Copy-editing

• Overview:
  • Are appropriate {{dmy}}/{{mdy}} and {{Use X English}} templates used, if necessary?
• Section by section:
  • Manual of Style
  • General copy-editing: vocabulary, spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc.
• Overview again:
  • Ensure that lead follows body
  • If there is an infobox, is it consistent with article text?
• Citation cleanup
• Non-English language topics or sources
  • Consistency of English translation followed by original term
  • Use {{lang}} for plain words and phrases
  • Use {{ill}} for interlanguage links

Auto-archive templates

Further information: Help:Archiving a talk page

Automatically archive a talk page with Lowercase sigmabot III and add a handy {{talk header}}.

Good defaults:

{{User:MiszaBot/config 
| archive             = {{SUBST:FULLPAGENAME}}/Archive %(counter)d
| algo                = old(90d)
| counter             = 
| maxarchivesize      = 75K
| minthreadsleft      = 2
| minthreadstoarchive = 
| archiveheader       = 
| key                 = 
}}
{{talk header |bot=Lowercase sigmabot III |age=90 |units=days |minthreadsleft=2 |search=yes}}

One archive page per calendar year:

{{User:MiszaBot/config
| archive             = {{SUBST:FULLPAGENAME}}/Archive %(year)d
| algo                = old(365d)
| counter             = 
| maxarchivesize      =
| minthreadsleft      =
| minthreadstoarchive = 
| archiveheader       = {{annual archive}}
| key                 = 
}}
{{talk header |bot=Lowercase sigmabot III |age=365 |units=days |search=yes}}
{{archived annually}}
