[edit] About me

About aliasd...

The Star Mountains, this photograph captures clearly the remote townships of Tabubil and Telefomin. I have a secret page.

I am a Linux-Centric Systems Engineer born in Australia, but raised in the Star Mountains of Papua New Guinea. I moved to Australia in about the turn of the century, and settled in Clontarf and the city of Redcliffe, Queensland for a few years, moved around Brisbane a bit, and I now currently reside in Portarlington, Victoria.

I am interested in geography and technology. I am mostly interested in contributing to geographical articles on Papua New Guinea, as I believe, for the most part, Australian geographical articles and Linux centric articles have received a disproportionate amount of editor attention on enwiki compared to PNG related articles.

Some "Do you know?" links...

...that areas of the North Fly District in Papua New Guinea's Western Province experience a peak annual rainfall of ten metres? (Main Page, June 26, 2007)
...that the third of four expeditions sent in the late 19th century by French nobleman Marquis de Rays to an imaginary majestic colony called New France in present day Papua New Guinea, saw 123 Italian settlers perish of disease and famine? (Main Page, June 28, 2007)

[edit] Contributions

Contributions by aliasd...

I have contributed to hundreds of articles since 2005. Most are related to Papua New Guinea or Melanesia. My contributions can be reviewed here. I don't summarise edits all the time, but I am trying to improve.

[edit] Articles

Articles by aliasd...

I have created and have been a major contributor to the following articles that I consider to be of a good quality:

Tabubil, Papua New Guinea
North Fly District, Western Province
de Rays Expedition actually the third of his expeditions, of which four were sent, this expedition in particular is known as the de Ray Expedition. Quite an interesting saga really.
List of towns and cities in Papua New Guinea by population Someone had to do it.

I have also created and/or have been the major contributor to the following articles which are near-complete, or have some comprehensiveness, but still have related articles which need a lot of attention:

Ok Tedi Mine
Middle Fly District, Western Province The district and LLG articles still need to be written for Western Province.
Western Province (Papua New Guinea)
Clontarf, Queensland

I have also created many stubs and start class articles. I will post them here as they get better.

[edit] Projects

Project involvement...

The flag of the Western Highlands

The flag of Chimbu Province

The flag of the Western Province

Currently, I am working on documenting and constructing the Provincial Flags of Papua New Guinea, and some cartography, which is directly related to WikiProject Melanesia.

I am most interested in working on the following articles, many of which are my own work, or already have serious contributions by me, others just need some attention:

Clontarf, Queensland
Braybrook, Victoria
User:Aliasd/Pub Standards An article I created about an international event that experienced a controversial delete. Sadly, many new users participated in the AfD debate. It requires a cleanup and should be placed back on Wikipedia.
Kiunga-Tabubil Highway
Ok Tedi Environmental Disaster
Ok Tedi River Requires a major cleanup
Kiunga, Papua New Guinea
Tabubil, Papua New Guinea The town which I was raised in.
Tabubil Airport

You can find me on Meta, Commons and Beta Wiki.

[edit] Languages

Other Languages...

I have contributed as much as possible recently on Tok Pisin Wikipedia, where I am occasionally a temporary administrator. If you know Tok Pisin It would be great if you could come and help out. At the moment we are having a major policy discussion in English (or Tok Pisin if you wish) and it would be great, actually, if anyone could weigh in.

I have an account on Spanish Wikipedia and do a small amount of editing there.
