About me

Hello, I'm a Wikivoyager based in Sydney. I'm lucky to have traveled extensively in North America, Southeast Asia and a bit of traveling to Europe, South Asia, and the Middle East. An interesting piece of trivia about me is that I have traveled to all four hemispheres, dipped my feet in all five oceans and visited every Australian state/internal territory except WA. That said, there are still many places that I dream of – southern and east Africa, most of South America, Antarctica, and many European and Asian countries that I hope to visit sometime soon. If you haven't inferred the meaning from the images and banner, mountains always have a special place in my travel journal even though I despise the cold. Tropical areas, especially areas with low-lying waters also have a special place in my heart – I'm a person who loves dipping their feet in bodies of water.

I consider myself a mesomedian – I'm a cross-wiki patroller who is generally involved in anti-vandalism and routine maintenance matters. I hold global rollback and global sysop perms and am quite involved with global matters. However, on the English Wikivoyage, I don't have a specific area of interest; as such, I routinely edit destinations from all over the world, though I do work a lot more about my home Australia (specifically NSW and TAS) than other places. Remote, obscure, faraway places do also fancy me; I've started articles for many remote destinations that I'll probably never visit like Île Amsterdam, Russian Arctic National Park, the Crozet Islands or many destinations in Nunavik in QC just to name a few. Nevertheless, I still do a bit of Mosifying and copyediting throughout the site.

I also like working on park articles; I've created about 10% of this site's park articles. Feel free to give me suggestions on national parks to create (on my talk page) – or better yet, plunge forward and help expand Wikivoyage's coverage of park articles. There's also an expedition for that, which I started.

I'm someone who's particularly interested in geopolitics, astronomy, paleontology, caves, archeology and geology (though none of them are my professions). You may see me working on articles about these subjects. I'm also interested in random bits of trivia along with history and politics although you may not see me actively on those last to categories – that's what Wikipedia is for.

I can help out with articles, templates or anything; I'll be sure to help out to the best of what I can. Either leave a message on my talk page, or leave me a {{ping}}. I also make .json lines (line markers) for itineraries as well, and can do one upon request using geojson.io, a useful tool to get a line marker. If you need any help with this, leave me a message and check out this easy tutorial. I can also help out with mapshapes, and with getting you started on making one of these mapshapes, whether it's using OpenStreetMap data or drawing it out.

Oh and not to forget, I also have a GitHub page too. Been dormant for a while though. All files are under a CC-BY SA 3.0 AU License.

My Wikimedia activity

I'm honored to have made over 175,000 edits as of throughout Wikimedia. Editing Wikivoyage might be a hobby that I treasure, but I also equally enjoy editing other WMF projects. Wikimedia Commons is my second home wiki, where I mainly move and categorize files and have made over 50,000 edits. I frequently lurk the other projects listed below, though I'm not super active on those wikis. I'm also a global rollbacker and global sysop.

Other WMF sites that I edit:

Out of the five wikis listed above, I am an administrator on the English Wikibooks and Meta-Wiki and a file mover and patroller on Wikimedia Commons; see my Meta-Wiki userpage for what I can, can't, will and won't do as an admin. I also have rollback on a few other projects, such as the English Wikipedia.

I also sporadically edit other wikis such as the Simple English Wikipedia or the Italian Wikivoyage (despite my it-0).

Licensing statement

I release my content under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License as per the Terms of Use unless explicitly stated and release my static maps under the CC BY-SA 4.0 license unless it's a derivative. I do not wish to release my content in the public domain, and so you will need to somehow give attribution. This includes maplines I've made, or any content I add that is my own work.

My cropped banners are a slightly different case. Use whatever license was used on the original. For my other uploads of my own work, you need to attribute me as "SHB2000". Attributing "Wikimedia Commons" is simply not good enough.

Docent

I'm a docent for the following pages:

To ask information, just simply leave a message on my talk page by clicking the button below!

If you want me to email you, then yes, I can, however, to email me, you'll need to be autoconfirmed (have at least had your account for 4 days). Emails disabled globally for new users.

Keep in mind, that I might not know the answer to everything, but I will try my best to answer it.


Notable things I've done

  • I've created about 10% of all park articles and 1% of total articles on the English Wikivoyage.
  • I made all articles breadcrumbed under Australia are usable or above. This doesn't include articles not breadcrumbed under Australia, but part of Australia such as Heard Island and McDonald Islands
  • The number of French national parks that had articles went from zero, to eleven, having created all of them, all are either usable or higher.
  • I founded the Wikivoyage:National Parks Expedition.
  • Many of the maplines such as the one on Quebec Route 389, E8 through Finland and Norway or Oxley Highway were traced by me.
  • Adelaide was mostly districtified by me, along with some assistance, while I entirely created the districts for Canberra.
  • I made some heavy structural changes to the region structure of Guadeloupe.
  • I introduced the informative article status, which is slowly being rolled out.

Languages

I'm a native speaker of English and have an intermediate knowledge of French. That being said, I'm not the best copyeditor out there, but I do translate articles from other language Wikivoyages and Wikipedias to improve Wikivoyage's coverage of places. I use DeepL or ChatGPT as my translator, which is mostly accurate and does the job.

My preferred dialect of English is my native Australian English, but my American English is just as good (perhaps because I watch way too many American movies). I might occasionally use American terms and spellings when I'm unaware, except for some cases where I just think the AusE term looks or feels wrong.



Articles and pages

These include ones that I have either created or heavily worked on. Key:

  • Guide or (g): 48
  • Star or (s): 3
  • Featured or (f): 6

Numbers here include articles created on the French Wikivoyage.

Outline and usable articles are not marked as pretty much most other articles I have created or have heavily worked on fall into one of the two status types.

Thanks for helping sweep old conversations off to relevant talk pages. Like housework, it's often best to do a little every day or every week, but we'd let the page get out of hand. Thanks for helping with the "spring cleaning". WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:38, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
