Difference between revisions of "User:Singkong2005" – WikiIndex

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 ProjectEdit

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 interestEdit

I am interested in:

International development, including especially
- Appropriate technology
- Clean water and sanitation
- Community participation in development
- Gender issues
Sustainability issues, especially
- Climate change
- Efficiency in the use of resources such as energy and water
- Effective reuse of waste (e.g. through biogas digesters)
Permaculture and urban agriculture
Urban planning for sustainability, community and quality of life
Languages
Education

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