I am an active participant of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Melbourne]] and many of my contributions have been geographical articles on [[Melbourne]] and surrounds, particularly starting many of the articles on [[Parks and gardens of Melbourne]] and [[Cycling in Melbourne]]. I participate in [[Wikipedia: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 on [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Cycling]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Melbourne/Institutions]] and currently doing work with [[Wikipedia: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 at [[User:Tirin/Photos]], all released under GNU FDL. At the end of 2006 I had a good and long [[Wikipedia:Wikibreak|wikibreak]]. 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 on [[:Category:TAFE Victoria]], [[:Category:Australian jazz]] particularly in Melbourne, [[:Category:Wurundjeri]], [[:Category:Dja Dja Wurrung]] and [[Victorian Aborigines]] pages as part of [[:Category:History of Victoria (Australia)]].

|style="vertical-align: middle; border-top: 1px solid gray;" | This is now a little after the fact, but your articles that you created about the [[:Category:Wurundjeri|Wurundjeri]] and other Indigenous Australian people and groups around Victoria deserve some recognition.
