My name is Abigail Brady. I am fromLondon. Crikey, I've been here a long time. I came to thefree culture movement from thefree software movement, in which I was active during the late 1990s and early 2000s. I joined Wikipedia in 2003, and became an admin later that year. I wrote and stubbed innumerable articles about national leaders and world geography, along with stuff closer to home.
I used to make lots of maps, but retired from this a long time ago, after other people with actual graphic design skills came along. It was fun to do. I started the article about the7 July 2005 London bombings. The next day I was interviewed byThe World about this and Wikipedia. They used a sentence of me, in which I inadvertently predictedtwitter's use in grass-roots news gathering. I also started the article about therural district of Uxbridge. Nobody has ever interviewed me about that.
In the late 2000s I became less active, and therefore have dropped in thehigh score table from #22 (in late 2006) to #1793 as of 2024. During some of this period I was involved inopenstreetmap, mapping Leicester andcentral London.
I award you this barnstar for your excellent work in sorting through the many images on Wikipedia so we can figure out which ones are GFDL-legit (and also for uploading so many yourself). Secretlondon deserves one too, but somebody else beat me to that. --Michael Snow 21:46, 21 Feb 2004 (UTC)
