— Posted by me as @WeAreWikipedia, retweeted by Jimmy Wales; quoted at Wikimania 2014 by Bill Thompson.
I am Wikimedian in Residence (pro bono) at ORCID.
I have previously been Wikimedian (or Wikipedian) in Residence at Coventry University, TED, the Royal Society of Chemistry, at The Physiological Society, and at the History of Modern Biomedicine Research Group; and at Thinktank, Birmingham, at Queen Street Mill, at The New Art Gallery Walsall, at Staffordshire Archives and Heritage Service, and to ARKive (titled "Misplaced Pages Outreach Ambassador").
I have also set up and run backstage pass/ editathon events at the Black Country Living Museum, the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists, Ikon Gallery, the Institution of Civil Engineers, University of Leicester (with the Attenborough Arts Centre) and the West Midlands Police Museum. While in Washington for Wikimania 2012, I met with senior staff at the Smithsonian's National Zoo and gave an address to staff of the National Gallery of Art and Smithsonian Institution.
In January 2013, I was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts "for your work on open data, Misplaced Pages and social media".
I gave three presentations at Wikimania 2014, in London, where I also received an "Honourable Mention" in Wikimedia UK's annual awards. I gave two more at Wikimania 2016. Also in 2016, I undertook a four-week tour of Australia, and Indonesia, giving talks about Wikidata, and Misplaced Pages's GLAM collaborations in 2016 and a second four-week tour of Australia, in 2018. I taught a course on Misplaced Pages at the Polytechnic University of Milan, in 2016, 2018 and 2019. I delivered the same course online in 2020 (twice), 2021 and 2022.
I have attended the following international Wikimedia events:
- GLAMcamp Amsterdam - December 2011
- a meeting of Stiftung Historische Museen Hamburg - December 2011
- Wikimania 2012 in Washington DC
- Museum für Hamburgische Geschichte/2 - August 2012
- GLAMcamp London - September 2012
- Wikimedia CEE Meeting 2012 in Belgrade
- GLAM-Wiki 2013 in London.
- MediaWiki hackathon 2013, 24-26 May, in Amsterdam
- Wiki Loves European Parliament, 1-8 February 2014
- Wikimania 2014 in London
- WikiArabia, 3-5 April 2015
- Wikidata Tour Down Under 2016, Australia, and Indonesia February 2016
- Wikimania 2016 in Esino Lario, Italy
- Digital Museum Conference, October 2016, in Warsaw, Poland
- WikiCite 2017 in Vienna
- Wikimania 2017 in Montreal
- WikiArabia 2017 in Cairo
- WikidataCon 2017 in Berlin
- Wikimedia and Open Science 2018, Barcelona
- GLAM forum in Yerevan 2018, Armenia
- Wikimania 2018 in Cape Town
- Wikidata Tour Down Under 2018, Australia
- WikidataCon 2019 in Berlin
- Wikimania 2023 in Singapore
At these events, I variously spoke about GLAM collaboration and my work as a Wikimedian in Residence; and enjoyed meeting many on-line collaborators and making new friends.
Elsewhere, I spoke and mentored at Wiki Academy Kosovo, 22-24 February 2013. I attended the ORCID Outreach Meeting and Codefest in Chicago on 21-22 May 2014 and ORCID/CASRAI conference in Barcelona on 18-19 May 2015; in part to speak about the use of ORCID in Misplaced Pages & Wikidata. I also spoke about authority control in Misplaced Pages and and its sister projects at the World Digital Library's Arab Peninsula Regional Group conference in Qatar in May 2015. On behalf of the Royal Society of Chemistry, I gave talks about Misplaced Pages to chemists around the UK, and at the University of Tunis El Manar, Tunisia, and to a Delegates' Assembly of the European Young Chemists' Network in Berlin. I was compère at OpenStreetMap's State of the Map 2013 in Birmingham, and spoke (about Wikidata and more) at State of the Map US 2015. I gave a guest lecture at Üsküdar University in Istanbul to mark Wikidata's 6th Birthday.
Among other things, I introduced Misplaced Pages's microformats (and have deployed them on sister projects including Wikimedia Commons, Wikivoyage, Wikiquote, Wikinews, Wikibooks and Wikisource; as well as the OpenStreetMap wiki), conceived {{Coord}} for our coordinates, and liaised with Google to have that template used for the Misplaced Pages layer on their maps. I also conceived {{URL}}, {{Start date}} and {{End date}} to emit metadata; and {{Flatlist}} and {{Plainlist}} to make our lists more accessible and HTML-standards compliant. I am accredited as a trainer by Wikimedia-UK, in all three of the available categories. I instigated the voice intro project, which asks article subjects to record a sample of their spoken voice, so that Misplaced Pages readers may know what they sound like, and how they pronounce their names. As part of that project, I worked with the BBC, to run a related project, uploading audio extracts from radio programmes, under an open licence; and worked with the ESA to have the first ever content made specifically for Misplaced Pages in space. I'm also one of the people behind QRpedia. I sometimes write about Misplaced Pages on my own blog and for other publications.
Why do I do all this? I couldn't put it better than Wilfred T. Grenfell:
Real joy comes not from ease or riches or from the praise of men but from doing something worthwhile.
Pigsonthewing is my unified login for all public Wikimedia projects. I am an administrator on Wikispecies. I maintain alternative accounts, User:PigsOTWing and User:PigsotWing, with default settings, which I use for testing, training and demonstration purposes. I created User:Red link example for documentation and testing purposes, but it is not used for editing. I have separate user pages at:
as well as soft redirects on various other Wikipedias. Oh, and I have permission from TBL to use the web whenever I like.
