A Brit, living in New Zealand, I have a scientific editing background. I have interests in all sorts of things, but especially women in science, women in New Zealand, science in New Zealand, and history.
When I am editing Wikipedia, Wikidata or contributing to Wikimedia Commons I always strive to abide by the accepted practices on conflicts of interest, neutrality, and notability of that particular project. I will not make edits that I do not believe are in accordance with that Wikimedia Foundation projects practices and procedures. If you believe I have made an error or violated Wikipedia’s norms, please do not hesitate to contact me through my talk page.
Opened the second day of WikiCite 2025, presenting on the New Zealand Thesis Project (slides are on Commons)
Listful Thinking, about the tools Petscan, Listeria and the Wiki List, at the Wikidata and Sister Projects 2025.
I run weekly local editing events (Lunchipedia) and meetups
I was runner-up in the 2025 Great European Destubathon, and participated in the Memory of the World challenge. I've attended all the NZ WikiCon, beginning with Hokitika in March 2021, and attended my first in-person Wikimania in Singapore in 2023. I was at Wikimania in Poland in 2024 too (lucky me), where I was part of the Cool Tool Academy. Here is my report from Poland!
Member of Women in Red, the Wikimedian in Residence Network, the GLAM global monthly call, the Australian and New Zealand Libraries and Wikidata group, and because I am a Wikimedian in Residence in an academic library, interact with Wiki communities for libraries, GLAMs and higher education.
I occasionally make training videos to show how to do things on Wikidata or Wikipedia or OpenRefine. These are collected in the "Tamsin's Tool Tips" category on Wikimedia Commons, and uploaded to YouTube channel @drthneed6733 Training videos I've made:
