About me

Hi, I'm Owen, a queer British guy based just outside of London.

I've been a Wikimedian since 2004, editing mainly on the English Wikipedia, Wikidata and Commons. Off-wiki, I've been involved in mySociety and Open Rights Group, including membership of WMF's European Public Policy panel, and as a climate activist; my dayjob is in advertising.

In 2021, I took on some responsibilities within the Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group, including helping organise the Queering Wikipedia 2021 Working Days.
