My work on Wikipedia
I've been editing Wikipedia since 2006 (originally under the name
Oxguy3). Some of my contributions include:
I have made over 25,000 edits total to English Wikipedia, and over 400,000 across all Wikimedia projects (see
edit count via XTools).
My photographs are used over 500 times on English Wikipedia and over 2,000 times across all Wikimedia projects (see
full stats via GLAMorous).
I tend to focus on finding free images where none are readily available, hunting them down in old newspapers and yearbooks and using
some of the odder bits of public domain law to be able to upload them. I have over 30,000 files uploaded to Commons, which are used over 4,000 times on English Wikipedia and over 60,000 times across all Wikimedia projects (see
full stats via GLAMorous).[a]
^It's worth noting that these stats are skewed upwards by a handful of files that are very heavily used; in particular, my most-used upload,
File:Discogs record icon.svg, is used over 28,000 times, mostly on the Catalan, Galician, and Irish Wikipedias.
