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 a former Oversighter and CheckUser on the English Wikipedia. Globally I'm a former 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 support the sustainable operations of Wikimedia volunteer self-governance committees.

My responsibilities include helping develop relationships within committees, forming working agendas and agreements, provide facilitation support and skills development within committees, connect committee needs and functions with staff roles within the Foundation, among other things.

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.
