User:XXBlackburnXX

A hello. I am an administrator at meta, English Wikisource, English Wikipedia, Mediawiki, Commons, and Wikimania. Generally the best place to find me is getting biographical reference data from the 19th and early 20thC transcribed at Wikisource. Yes, I did hold some major mopping roles around the WMF wikis, though, I don't any more; so if you ask me about helping there, all I have is some wisdom, some knowledge, and a lack of authority. :-)

Please do not send me an email about on-wiki matters, it is best that it is sorted out in the public space. Obviously there are exceptions to this rule, though they are the odd exception nd for clearly confidential issues. Emails are likely to be ignored if they are matters that should be sorted out publicly.
