Hi there, my name is Charles, I live in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. I think I was Wikipedia's first regular Tasmanian contributor.

I first made some anonymous edits and joined in September 2002. I disappeared for a while, making brief reappearances in July 2003 and December 2003. I restarted and have been a continual editor since February 2004. I became an admin on 30th September 2004.
In 2008 I joined the interim committee which established Wikimedia Australia, the Australian chapter of the Wikimedia Foundation. The chapter was formally recognised in January 2009. In September 2010 I was nominated for and elected to the position of ordinary committee member of the chapter, and have served in this role ever since.
Current projects:
- Working with other Aussies at the Wikipedia:Australian wikipedians' notice board
- Converting History of Tasmania from timeline layout to prose (rewrite is at User:Chuq/History of Tasmania)
Other stuff:
Here are some articles I have created or made significant contributions to - most of which were during my "peak" years of editing in 2004-2008!

| For all your work associated with the A-League, especially creating the majority of the 2005-06 round summaries, which would have taken you forever, I award you the Football Barnstar. Congratulations! Daniel Bryant 05:56, 8 August 2006 (UTC) |
I award you, Chuq, the Barnstar of Diligence for your efforts to Wikipedia. 10,000+ edits, as well as 124 administrative actions, show your dedication to this project. Cheers, Daniel Bryant 09:49, 17 September 2006 |
Not Stupid Award - this medal is awarded to Chuq for knowing how to prove that two is greater than one.
You know one of the simplest proofs in the world! Great job! -- from User:Java7837, 8 April 2007 |
