About me:
Chris Watkins
What I do: Wiki & open knowledge consultant, and a director of the Appropedia Foundation, which runs Appropedia (Wikipedia article), wiki for sustainability, appropriate technology & international development. My Appropedia homepage says more about my passions - in particular, international development, water and sanitation, sustainability, global public health, appropriate technology & renewable energies.
Oh, Wikipedia...: I'm concerned that Wikipedia is losing its civility. I'm concerned that there's not enough encouragement, too much deletion rather than organized efforts to improve articles. I'd like to see deletion as a good faith process, transwikiing or moving pages to userspace rather than officiously deleting them.
Wikiholics unite: On Wikipedia, I've contributed more than 6000 edits, including 2800-ish in mainspace and 70-ish new articles. I do much more editing on Appropedia, though my main role there, as a director, is supporting the community and working on partnerships.

Yes I'm an addict. No, it's not a problem. I'm going to take a break, just as soon as I finish editing this... Maybe I need a 12 step program...
