I am
Carey Evans, of
Christchurch, New Zealand; a
New Zealand Wikipedian. I have a typically irregularly maintained home page at
http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/c.evans/ (
http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/c.evans/), and email sent to
careye@spamcop.net (
mailto:careye%40spamcop%2E%6E%65%74) will reach me eventually.
I discovered Wikipedia on 26 September 2001, when it was running at www.wikipedia.com on the UseModWiki software, and there were only about 12 500 articles. I tend to contribute in short bursts, mostly cleaning up pages on topics that interest me.
The pronunciation of my given name is /'kεəri:/ in IPA, /kE@ri:/ in SAMPA; that is, to rhyme with Mary.
Contributions
So far, I've made contributions beyond just copyediting to at least the following pages, most recent first:
I made a list a while ago of pages that I thought I should work on:
- Treaty of Waitangi
- Mount Cook
- Articles about Bic Runga, The Feelers[?], Zed[?], Salmonella Dub, Stellar[?], Weta (band) (and about the Weta too, actually), Tadpole (band)[?], Fur Patrol[?], and smaller bands like Seven Tongues[?], She's Insane[?], etc.
- Most of the links on New Zealand English.
- Christchurch, New Zealand and other New Zealand cities; see city listing and WikiProject U.S. States.
- Canterbury, New Zealand
- Colleges and universities: University of Canterbury, Lincoln University, New Zealand[?], Victoria University of Wellington, etc.
- Islands of the world: Fill in NZ islands especially, also Line Islands, Marshall Islands. See http://www.pacificislandtravel.com/, among others.
