"To the extent we are trusted, it will not be because we are right, but because we are honest. The only way to show we are honest to to present the facts and arguments that go against us as carefully as the ones we think correct. The reader will judge. Any compromise with this is a sign that we distrust the reader's intelligence and judgment so much that we are afraid to disclose that there are those who disagree."

Greetings! I've been at Wikipedia since the spring of 2006, and work on a variety of topics, mostly in the life sciences, Canadian issues, and climate change mitigation.
Clayoquot Sound (pronounced “clack-wot”, not “clay-o-quot”), is a beautiful wilderness area on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. In real life, I am a woman in Vancouver and work in the software development industry. I use the accountsClayoquot2 andClayoquot3 for test edits.
Articles to which I've made big contributions include:
I've also had lots of fun collaborating onCommon Raven,Humpback Whale,Cougar, andLion.
I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to meet many Wikipedians in real life and I'm fairly active in outreach, especially when it comes to improving climate articles. I am supportingTatjanaClimate in her work at the Global Systems Institute and I train trainers for various events. On July 17, 2023 I led aclimate-focused editathon, for which I received funding from Wikimedia NYC. I made some edits related to this event, such as removing copyright violations. In 2023-2024 I did some work as a part-timeWikipedian in Residence at theHydrogen Science Coalition.
I am currently a part-time paid Wikipedian in Residence atEnergy Tracker Asia, working with their network of academic subject matter experts to improve articles related to environment and energy. My work with Energy Tracker Asia is funded by theMeliore Foundation. In this role, I have full editorial independence. The contents of my edits are not directed by any organization and any errors and biases in my work are my own.
I sometimes incorporate text that was written by others who wish to remain anonymous. In these cases, I ensure they first release the content under a Creative Commons Zero license.
Gratefully received
[edit]The Reviewer's Award for
Clayoquot, in appreciation of her patient, thoughtful, and comprehensive review of
Cougar. We can work out later where all the cats wandered in from.

The Original Barnstar This award is presented to
Kla'quot for tracking down an
excellent photo for the
Fin Whale article and making the extra effort to convince the photographer to release a low-resolution version of it for use on Wikipedia. Well done!

Editors like you are unusual. You seem to be connected to 'real-life' and create content that is relevant to under-represented groups on Wikipedia. There are women and families that will greatly benefit from your work on Wikipedia for helping them to find answers to difficult questions. I appreciate your sensitivity to creating content that is missing.

| By the authority vested in me by myself it gives me great pleasure to present you with this special, very exclusive award created just for we few, we happy few, this band of brothers, who have shed sweat, tears and probably blood, in order to be able to proudly claim "I too have taken an article to Featured status".Gog the Mild (talk) 22:35, 27 October 2021 (UTC) |
