Hello! I've been editing Wikipedia on-and-off for more than half my life, from spending hours monitoring WP:NPP and WP:HUG in school to more significant editorial contributions in recent years. I try to ensure that all of my edits are verifiable, well-referenced, and — given my very technical areas of interest & education — comprehensible to non-technical users.

I have serious concerns about the Wikimedia Foundation's influence on en-wiki (and its leadership direction more generally), but believe that Wikipedia is a generally successful project in spite of the WMF (example). I generally oppose centralizing editorial/administrative control over the project, and believe that consensus-building is woefully under-publicized to the point of being hidden from all but the most experienced editors. The project is stronger with a diversity of voices.

I have an MSc in Railway Safety & Control Systems at the University of Birmingham Centre for Railway Research and Education, and a BASc in computer engineering from the University of Ottawa (which is usually known as electronics engineering outside of Canada, i.e. an electrical engineering degree applied to microprocessors, communications systems, and embedded computers).

Editing

Aside from general clean-up, I put special focus on pages with the following topics:

  • Railway signalling and communications, especially:
    • Railway voice and data communications systems like GSM-R and FRMCS
    • Digital railway signalling like ETCS
  • Computer networking and digital communications, especially in carrier-grade regional/national networks
  • Low-level computer hardware, microprocessors, and electronics design
  • Transportation and telecommunications infrastructure, with a specific focus on Southern/Eastern Ontario, Canada

Major contributions

To-do

When time allows, I'm working on the following specific articles:
