The Star Mountains, this photograph captures clearly the remote townships of Tabubil and Telefomin. I have a secret page.

I am a Linux-Centric Systems Engineer born in Australia, but raised in the Star Mountains of Papua New Guinea. I moved to Australia in about the turn of the century, and settled in Clontarf and the city of Redcliffe, Queensland for a few years, moved around Brisbane a bit, and I now currently reside in Portarlington, Victoria.

I have contributed to hundreds of articles since 2005. Most are related to Papua New Guinea or Melanesia. My contributions can be reviewed here. I don't summarise edits all the time, but I am trying to improve.

I have created and have been a major contributor to the following articles that I consider to be of a good quality:

• Tabubil, Papua New Guinea
• North Fly District, Western Province
• de Rays Expedition actually the third of his expeditions, of which four were sent, this expedition in particular is known as the de Ray Expedition. Quite an interesting saga really.
• List of towns and cities in Papua New Guinea by population Someone had to do it.

I have also created and/or have been the major contributor to the following articles which are near-complete, or have some comprehensiveness, but still have related articles which need a lot of attention:

• Ok Tedi Mine
• Middle Fly District, Western Province The district and LLG articles still need to be written for Western Province.
• Western Province (Papua New Guinea)
• Clontarf, Queensland

I have also created many stubs and start class articles. I will post them here as they get better.

Currently, I am working on documenting and constructing the Provincial Flags of Papua New Guinea, and some cartography, which is directly related to WikiProject Melanesia.

I am most interested in working on the following articles, many of which are my own work, or already have serious contributions by me, others just need some attention:

• Clontarf, Queensland
• Braybrook, Victoria
• User:Aliasd/Pub Standards An article I created about an international event that experienced a controversial delete. Sadly, many new users participated in the AfD debate. It requires a cleanup and should be placed back on Wikipedia.
• Kiunga-Tabubil Highway
• Ok Tedi Environmental Disaster
• Ok Tedi River Requires a major cleanup
• Kiunga, Papua New Guinea
• Tabubil, Papua New Guinea The town which I was raised in.
• Tabubil Airport

You can find me on Meta, Commons and Beta Wiki.

I have contributed as much as possible recently on Tok Pisin Wikipedia, where I am occasionally a temporary administrator. If you know Tok Pisin It would be great if you could come and help out. At the moment we are having a major policy discussion in English (or Tok Pisin if you wish) and it would be great, actually, if anyone could weigh in.

I have an account on Spanish Wikipedia and do a small amount of editing there.

The following articles need immediate attention:

• Geography of Papua New Guinea
• Arawa, Papua New Guinea
• Los Negros Island
• South Fly District, Western Province

I am a maintainer of Portal:Papua New Guinea. I try to keep it active as much as possible.

I have contributed quite a number of images to Wikipedia. They can be found here!
