My name is [http{{Personal infobox <!--see 'Template:Personal infobox' for full detail-->|image = https://www.appropediaAppropedia.org/indeximages/b/b0/Chriswaterguy_cycle_rickshaw.php?titleJPG<br>Chriswaterguy in Java (Yogyakarta, [[:Category:Indonesia|Indonesia]])<br>late November 2007, [[Appropedia]], CC-BY-SA.<!--MANUALLY wikilink, 320px width; OR hotlink 320px to external URL-->|name =Christopher James Watkins<ref>[[Appropedia:User:Chriswaterguy/Chris Watkins|User:Chriswaterguy/Chris Watkins]]; ''www.Appropedia.org''; [[Appropedia]]; accessed 1 March 2020.</ref><!--full OFFICIAL name of person-->|age = <!--or DoB, or just year of birth; leave blank if unknown-->|gender = {{tag|Male Wiki People|Male}}|other names= Chriswaterguy, Singkong2005<!--birth name (if different), wiki username(s), other nickname(s); leave blank if none /Chris_Watkins unknown-->|nationality= {{tag|Wiki People from Australia|Australian}}|languages = {{Language|en|N}}{{Language|id|4}}{{Language|es|1}} Bahasa Melayu, Singlish<!--tag with babels if WikiIndex editor-->|residence = Melbourne, {{tag|Victoria}}, {{tag|Australia}}<!--city, state, country; tag first available, eg: Yukon, {{tag|Canada}} or {{tag|Berlin}}, Germany, etc-->|home wiki = [[Appropedia]], [[English Wikipedia]]<!--wikilink to WikiIndex article(s); leave blank if unknown-->|status = Active <!--'Active', 'Semi-active', 'WikiHoliday', 'Retired', 'Deceased', etc; leave blank if unknown-->|website = [https://www.ChrisWaterguy.com ChrisWaterguy.com], [https://www.ProcrastinationParamedic.com ProcrastinationParamedic.com]|contacts = [https://Twitter.com/chriswaterguy Twitter feed], [https://www.Facebook.com/chriswaterguy Facebook page]<!--e-mail, Skype, IRC, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc; only if ALREADY in public domain, anti-spam e-mail; leave blank if none / unknown-->}}{{TOCright}}My name is '''[[Appropedia:User:Chriswaterguy|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:Chriswaterguy OR Singkong2005|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 [[WikiIndex:Real names|real name]].

I spend a lot of time contributing to [[WhatIsWiki|wikis]], mainly at [[English Wikipedia]]<ref>{{W|Special:User:Contributions/Chriswaterguy|Special:Contributions/Chriswaterguy}}; ''En.Wikipedia.org''; [[English Wikipedia]] ; accessed 1 March 2020.</ref> and [http[Appropedia]],<ref>[[Appropedia:Special:Contributions/Chriswaterguy|Special:Contributions/Chriswaterguy]]; ''www.appropediaAppropedia.org/User:Chriswaterguy ''; [[Appropedia], ]; accessed 1 March 2020.</ref> the [[wiki ]] for appropriate technology, sustainability and international development.

==[[/The Wiki Synergy Project/]]==I would like to see greater synergy, through {{tag|Wiki People|people}} working on the wikis that best suit them – and [[WikiIndex]] is a fantastic tool for that. I have edited [[Appropedia:WikiNode|Appropedia's WikiNode]] so it starts with links to the relevant [[Special:Categories|categories]] on WikiIndex.

I have edited [http://www.appropedia.org/WikiNode 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.
