I am a Wikipedia Administrator in Western Australia.

My nickname is derived from a combination of my name and the 1990's computer game Commander Keen, although I haven't played the game extensively.

[edit] Wikipedia did you know...

  • ...that you can use google to search just the Wikipedia site. Eg, at Google just use "site:en.wikipedia.org/ Foo".
  • ...if you use Firefox you can go to any Wikipedia article by typing "wp Article name" into the address bar. Give "wp WP:DPL" a go. Also, current versions of Firefox come with a spellchecker built in that works in Wikipedia edit boxes. To get the spellchecker to check input boxes with only 1 line (eg subject boxes and edit summary boxes) go to about:config in the address bar, then filter on "spell" and change the layout.SpellcheckDefault Value to 2.
  • ...that newcomers can place {{helpme}} on their talk page to get assistance. Questions can be anything to do with improving the encyclopedia (technical etc)
  • ...that many Wikipedians like to communicate via IRC chatrooms. You can often find me in the #wikipedia-en-help chat room on the freenode network. You can try connecting to #wikipedia-en-help via the Web-based client. If you are stuck behind a firewall that doesn't allow IRC (at work/school etc) you can try http://ircatwork.com/, Server: irc.freenode.net, Channel: #wikipedia-en-help
  • ...that you can use the toolserver tool Nubio to search hundreds of Wikipedia FAQs
