Andrew has remotely supported every event that he hasn't been able to attend in person, and gives such warm welcomes and support to new editors. He takes the time to keep up with events, and to patiently and enthusiastically share his expertise on Wikipedia with others. Many new pages would not exist without his support to help new editors who are from communities that have not previously felt welcome to edit until - his contribution to breaking down those barriers is invaluable, and we Wikimedians in the UK are lucky to have him.

Wikimedia UK AGM. Led workshop on fake news and presented on the use of talk pages. Mentioned in
despatches
Andrew D. has been a tireless supporter of editors, editathons, and general-wikiness. He's attended a
great many events over the past year and done a stellar job of helping new editors to find their feet. He's particularly brilliant at putting new pages through DYK so that they find a wider audience. Events such as the
huge school session at Imperial would have been impossible without his support.
I would support this nomination, Andrew has been excellently supportive to the Women's Classical Committee Wikipedia project.
I have advised and coached editathon groups at my workplace including Women in Leadership; Women in Technology; UK Women’s Network and the Diversity Advocates. Their output includes:
Katharine Blunt - one-line stub still awaiting 5x expansion.
Dorothy Hahn - one-line stub still awaiting 5x expansion.
Bodleian–Wikimedia UK Editathon
I took part in a workshop run in Oxford at the
Radcliffe Science Library on 24 May 2013. The aim was to develop articles related to Queen Victoria's Journals, including biographies from
this list.
