I am an active participant ofWikipedia:WikiProject Melbourneand many of my contributions have been geographical articles onMelbourneand surrounds, particularly starting many of the articles onParks and gardens of MelbourneandCycling in Melbourne.I participate inWikipedia:Australian Wikipedians' notice board.I have been with Wikipedia since August 2004, although I made a few anonymous contributions before then. Have worked in the past onWikipedia:WikiProject CyclingandWikipedia:WikiProject Melbourne/Institutionsand currently doing work withWikipedia:WikiProject Indigenous peoples of Australia‎,although I seem to be the most active participant on this project at the moment. I have contributed a large range of photos - see my photo gallery atUser:Tirin/Photos,all released under GNU FDL. At the end of 2006 I had a good and longwikibreak.I find I only visit and do new articles or updates very occasionally, as of 2016.

At the end of 2008 I have been working onCategory:TAFE Victoria,Category:Australian jazzparticularly in Melbourne,Category:Wurundjeri,Category:Dja Dja WurrungandVictorian Aboriginespages as part ofCategory:History of Victoria (Australia).

		For your many and varied efforts in creating and improving Australia-related articles, I take pleasure in awarding you the Working Man's Barnstar. Efforts like yours make this a better encyclopedia, frankly. Regards,Colonel Tom10:55, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

		The Original Barnstar
		This is now a little after the fact, but your articles that you created about theWurundjeriand other Indigenous Australian people and groups around Victoria deserve some recognition. Great work!Mattinbgn\talk12:24, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
