I am Holly Cheng (she/her) and I am an administrator both on English Wikipedia (see nomination) and on Commons.

As a Commons admin, I am also familiar with copyrights and fair use issues, although I am not an intellectual property attorney.

My other favorite thing to do is dig through image archives such as the Library of Congress and upload suitable images. If you are so inclined, please have a look at the lists of my image uploads on Commons and on Wikipedia.

Other stuff:

User:Howcheng/quickimgdelete.js - Javascript helper file to make nominating images for deletion and tagging no source, no license, no fair use rationale, and orphaned fair use images easier.
As of November 14, 2019, I am #525 on the List of Wikipedians by number of edits, not that it means anything.

POTD

I used to write the blurb for this (May 2006–January 2013):

Picture of the day

The dusky grasswren (Amytornis purnelli) is a species of small passerine bird in the family Maluridae. The species is endemic to Australia, in which it is limited to inland areas of the Northern Territory, Western Australia and South Australia. The dusky grasswren inhabits rocky ranges and outcrops, often preferring tumbled talus or scree, and with areas of thick, long-unburnt spinifex grasses in the genus Triodia. In the wild, it has been observed feeding on a range of small arthropods and other invertebrates as well as seeds. The vocal repertoire of the dusky grasswren is varied and includes trills, high-pitched whistles, rapid twittering, and high-speed warbling. This dusky grasswren was photographed in Ormiston Pound in the Northern Territory.Photograph credit: John Harrison
