User:Pigsonthewing

Collecting my "Honourable Mention" award, Wikimania, August 2014. The Mac is not mine!

I am Andy Mabbett (Q15136093), from Birmingham (Q2256), England. I have been a Wikimedia volunteer since 2003. Additionally I am Wikimedian in Residence (pro bono) with ORCID, Inc. (Q19861084). You can find more about me on my English Wikipedia user page (which includes my declaration of interests) or my website: http://pigsonthewing.org.uk, or follow me as @pigsonthewing on X (Q918).

I have considerable experience in property creation on this project; let me know if you need help or advice in that regard.

I also have alternative accounts, User:Pigsonthewing-bot, with bot approval, and User:PigsOTWing, used for demonstrations in training sessions, when I need an account without the customisations I usually use.

Statistics about my contributions (and my bot's; PigsOTWing's).

Projects

I founded WikiProject Microformats (Q12008927) and am happy to advise on the use of microformats (Q848031) markup in Wikidata or elsewhere.

I founded Wikipedia:Voice intro project (Q15966613) and related BBC voice project, and devised audio recording of the subject's spoken voice (P990) to record the results on Wikidata.

I am Wikimedian in residence (Q3809586) at ORCID - see Wikidata:ORCID and en:WP:ORCID for details.

Tips

To extract QIDs from random text

In Notepad++ (Q2033), paste the text, then open replace dialogue. Checkbox regular expressions set to yes, and paste this as 'Find': ^(.*?)\(Q(\d*?)\)(.*?)$ and 'Replace': Q$2.
