I am a PhD student in biology at the University of Mississippi and have a BS degree in ecology and environmental sciences from the University of Maine. I have worked twice for both the U.S. Forest Service and National Park Service. Despite being an ecologist, my efforts on Wikipedia tend to focus on protected areas, especially lesser known areas such as National Forests, state wildlife/conservation areas, and wilderness areas/wilderness study areas. I have also created many articles on geographic features that generally have little information already available online, such as smaller lakes and streams, as opposed to mountains. I intend to one day link this page with my true identity on my professional website (still in development), but for now you view can other contributions of mine online under the alias of Fredlyfish4 below.
A large proportion of my edits are deleted edits because I have transferred hundreds of files from Wikipedia to the Commons via For the Common Good and CommonsHelper. About half of my non-deleted edits are in the talk namespace because I have taken on the task of assessing all the incompletely assessed articles in protected areas WikiProject. I have 21 quality images on the Commons and have successfully nominated 1 featured picture (on Commons and here) and 4 quality images from other contributors. Additionally, I have also uploaded many more photos with appropriate licenses from other sites, such as Flickr via Flickr2Commons.
Contributing to Wikipedia provides a means for people anywhere to easily and freely obtain information that they may not otherwise have access to. I think that creating new articles is a major hurdle to many people contributing their own knowledge. So, by creating articles with at least the most basic and essential information, other people will be more likely to contribute and expand the articles.
