My name is Chris Watkins, but that's a surprisingly common name, so I almost always go by the username Chriswaterguy. (I used to call myself Singkong2005, but Chriswaterguy is more descriptive). I like to be able to Google for my username – not for vanity, but to keep track of my conversations and contributions, and this wouldn't work if I used my real name.

I spend a lot of time contributing to wikis, mainly at English Wikipedia[2] and Appropedia,[3] the wiki for appropriate technology, sustainability and international development.

The Wiki Synergy Project

I would like to see greater synergy, through people working on the wikis that best suit them – and WikiIndex is a fantastic tool for that. I have edited Appropedia's WikiNode so it starts with links to the relevant categories on WikiIndex.

Now, to be more active in pursuing these aims I have started a project: see The Wiki Synergy Project for more.

Areas of interest

I am interested in:

My areas of expertise are those closer to the top, particularly appropriate technology, water and sanitation.
