I got enormously disillusioned with Wikipedia. Then I decided to contribute to the Women in Red project. All my disillusionment went away! I wrote articles about Australian women - my last one being Kate Baker who championed the first truly quintessential Australian writer, Joseph Furphy.[1]

Then I got banned and all of that came to an abrupt end.

Now I’m using Wikishootme to document South-West Sydney as it’s unloved by politicians and those from the East and North Shore of Sydney. I’ve discovered the area I live in through the act of taking photos of the place I live in. It’s fantastic again!
