Line 5:
Besides for direct content creation, I do a lot of real-world outreach about Wikipedia. I started off focusing on higher education and gendergap related outreach, but have become active in the GLAM sector as well. I'm also one of the moderators of Gendergap-l, the Wikimedia Foundation's listserv aimed at dealing with issues related to our [[WP:gender gap|gendergap]] (although lately the list has been rather moribund.) I've also taken a strong interest in unethical paid editing on Wikipedia, because I think that it too has the potential to do great harm to the encyclopedia. I think paid editing can have a place on Wikipedia, potentially at least, but also think that pretty much everyone currently doing it is damaging Wikipedia. I've put together a few example pieces from the Wiki-PR case in my userspace [[User:Kevin_Gorman/Wiki-PR_Work|here]], so that people who didn't see the work when it was live can get an idea of the quality of their writing.
If you have a question about an administrative (or for that matter, a non-administrative) action that I've taken, please feel free to ask about it on my talk page. I think much socialization between Wikipedians is good, and [[User:Kevin_Gorman/Socialization_is_not_bad|I done wrote me an essay about it]].
'''Due to severe [[septic shock]] and related issues in the recent past, I have not been consistently monitoring this page or my email account for most of the first months of 2015.

I put up some more details about what has been going on with me '''[[User:Kevin Gorman/exp|here]]''' - please feel free to ask any questions you have.
