User:Girth Summit

Hello there. Welcome. Can I help?

Me

I am Scottish, but live in York. I studied geology at university, and spent the early part of my career (about fifteen years) in marine geophysics, working in offshore and nearshore engineering projects in various far-flung (and near-flung) parts of the world. Tired of the constant travel, I retrained, and now work on dry land, teaching maths, geography, and coding to small people.

Girth Summit is a pseudonym. Girth is a nickname I go by in real life, and Summit is a reference to mountains, which I enjoy climbing when I can find the time. For more discussion of my username, click here.

I have an alternate account, Girth Sockit. I don't generally edit with it, I use it to remind me what editing Wikipedia is like when you don't have a bunch of scripts and advanced permissions, so I can give better advice to new editors.

Communication

  • Most of my Wikipedia-related communications happens on here - feel free to leave me a note on my talk page.
  • I use IRC occasionally, and have recently moved over to the new Libera channels. You might find me hanging around in channels like #wikipedia-en-help or in the admin/revdel channels, under the name GirthSummit.
  • I do not use Discord, Twitter, Facebook, or other any other social media type things. Anyone posting under the name Girth Summit anywhere outside of Wikimedia projects and IRC is not me.
  • I occasionally read threads on Wikipediocracy, and I have to acknowledge that the contributors there sometimes pick things up that we (myself included) miss here, e.g. this post, and this thread about my judgment. I have recently registered an account there in case I ever wish to contribute; I don't know how much I'll use it.
  • You are welcome to e-mail me using the Wikipedia e-mail system, but be aware that I tend only to reply by e-mail to people I already know. Please don't be surprised or offended if I reply on your talk page, rather than directly to the e-mail.
