<center>'''When you play the game of wikis, you reliably source or die'''</center>
== WikiProjects ==
* I am the principle contributor to [http://hpluspedia.org/wiki/User:Deku-shrub H+Pedia], the [[Humanity+]] wiki on [[transhumanism]]
* I also contribute to [http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Deku-shrub RationalWiki] a bit

Various pages I've built have turned into ongoing projects to maintain, providing summaries of topic you can't get elsewhere on the internet.

[http://pirate.london/ This is my blog]

== Tor and Cybercrime ==
I research and write around cyber crime and dark web sites a fair bit these days, both on Wikipedia for core issues and RationalWiki for where it heads into original research. Some of these resources are pretty well populated as a result.

* [[Darknet]] and [[Dark web]] - inventorying this emergent territory which is currently underserved by Wikipedia - [https://www.deepdotweb.com/2015/06/08/the-dark-web-deep-web-and-dark-net-terminology-hell/ I wrote a guest article about this!] ( I even wrote [[Skunked term]] off the back of this! )
* [[Darknet market]] - tracking the history and status of the dynamic underground markets that comprise it
* [[Carding (fraud)]] - not to be confused with the primary topic of [[Carding]] <_< - [https://www.deepdotweb.com/2015/08/17/cybercrime-the-study-of-carding/ I wrote a guest article about this!]
* [[List of Tor hidden services]] - I have populated about half of these

== Things I still keep an eye on ==
* [[Twitter suspensions]] - I made this!
* [[Political party affiliation in the United Kingdom]] - first ever comparison of political party membership restrictions in the UK
* [[Cyber-arms industry]] - the wider market for software exploits
* [[Transhumanist politics‎]] - I track events here
* [[Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit]] - Tracking the ongoing operations of the [[City of London Police]], [[British Phonographic Industry|BPI]] etc. Doesn't exist anywhere else as far as I'm aware

== Completed Projects ==
The following supported the development of https://www.blocked.org.uk/ from the [[Open Rights Group]]
* [[Web blocking in the United Kingdom]] - the only comprehensive list of UK programmes in existence. Referenced by [http://www.blocked.org.uk blocked.org.uk] from the [[Open Rights Group]]
* [[List of websites blocked in the United Kingdom]] - Related topic providing the most detail you'll find about blocked sites anywhere on the internet. It's not [[GreatFire|GreatFire.org]], but it's still pretty good
* [[List of people suspended from Twitter]]
* I founded the small [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Pirate Politics|Wiki Project Pirate Politics]] and I'm a member of [[Pirate Party UK]]

== Completed Pages ==
These are things I built or did major work on that are in a good state and I don't care about personally maintaining any more.
* [[Freedom Hosting]]
* [[Deep Web (search)]]
* [[Block chain (database)]]
* [[Cryptocurrency tumbler]]
* [[Doxbin‎]]
* [[Operation Onymous]] - seriously, there was no decent central list of sites affected until then
* [[Bitcoin Fog‎]]
* [[BadBIOS]]
* [[Notorious markets]]
* [[Zero-day (computing)]] - this used to be a mess!
* [[Comparison of content-control software and providers]]
