About me

My name is actually Keegan. I've been an editor on the English Wikipedia since 2005, an administrator since 2006. I'm also an Oversighter and CheckUser on the English Wikipedia. Globally I'm an OTRS administrator and a global renamer. I am an encyclopedia geek.

I worked for the Wikimedia Foundation on Fundraising 2010 as a contractor on outreach to non-English Wikimedia projects. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga in History.

My work

My job is to facilitate the work of Community Liaisons and Wikimedia Foundation product and engineering teams in collaborating with Wikimedia communities to develop software.

My responsibilities include developing, maintaining and consulting on best practices for community collaboration in software development, designing and implementing strategies for community discussions around software development, and consulting on other aspects of project planning that involve multi-stakeholder collaboration.

Disclaimer: I work for or provide services to the Wikimedia Foundation, and this is the account I try to use for edits or statements I make in that role. However, the Foundation does not vet all my activity, so edits, statements, or other contributions made by this account may not reflect the views of the Foundation.
