I’ve been editing Wikipedia for 20+ years, mostly reverting nonsense, tidying prose, and adding sources. Off-wiki I studied Earth Systems at UMass Amherst and work with GIS, remote sensing, and earth-observation imagery. On-wiki I try to make technical topics verifiable and readable for non-specialists.
