I edit sometimes... I'm from Christchurch, New Zealand, trying to make a difference in this often-forgotten corner of the world. I mainly edit articles related to New Zealand, particularly its biodiversity. I have a strong interest in native and poisonous plants, especially their ecological roles, characteristics, as well as in wood and traditional uses. Recently, I've become interested in more obscure things, such as fungi and slime molds.

Outside Wikipedia, I follow the Russo-Ukrainian war. I'm involved in a few software and tech forums, although not as much as I used to be. I'm also into photography and use a Sony α1 II (mainly for personal use). To clarify, I don't use the same username on any platforms other than Wikimedia Projects.

This page is mostly a collection of stuff and links I find useful. I have significantly worked thru the articles listed here. There is also a list of photographs of my favorite plant species...  :-)

I might want to work on:

• Alectryon excelsus (to GA)
• Melicytus ramiflorus (to GA, or B-class at least)
• Pittosporum eugenioides (in need of a rewrite)
• Pittosporum tenuifolium (ditto)
• Podocarpus totara (to B-class; really poor state, in need of a rewrite, but not really motivated rn)
• Solanum (NZ species need revising)
• Sophora microphylla (to GA)
• Urtica ferox (to FAC, an ambitious goal, but it is one of my all-time favorite plants)

Wikipedia is unique. It's not controlled by a megacorporation and is one of the few large websites that doesn't have ads on it. It's not primarily generated by large language models, which are prone to inaccuracies. Wikipedia is already special because it is one of the world's most visited websites and is free, open, and editable. The work contributed by editors is genuinely impactful, and I'm grateful for that. I was inspired to write my thoughts on this after reading Alan Liefting's essay, The Reader, to which I'm indebted, having been directed to it by an essay from Beyond My Ken.
