Hi,
I live in the United Kingdom and have been contributing to Wikimedia projects in a number of ways for over a year now. I am an administrator on Wikimedia Commons and on the English Wikipedia. I also am a volunteer on the OTRS system. If you want to contact me, either leave a message on my talk page or email me. I also hang around on IRC a lot, for most people the easiest location to contact me on there will be #wikimedia-commons.
I'm currently embarking on a major piece of work regarding permissions sent through OTRS. The objectives I have set myself are:
- To improve OTRS documentation to assist volunteers
- Identifying inadequate permissions
- Attempting to get a valid release for these images
- Providing feedbeck to OTRS volunteers and Wikipedians involved with non-releases
This work will mostly be carried out and recorded on the (private) OTRS Wiki. There are images with invalid permissions, but I cannot estimate how many. I will attempt to get a valid permission, but if I obtain a take down notice or a non-release statement this will likely lead to further discussion and eventually removal of the images from Commons. This will involve the wider community, not just OTRS.
Aside this I will try to assist with the general backlogs here and maybe even contribute images myself...

[edit] Taxa categories
I'm working my way slowly by systematically through the taxa categories ensuring that categories exist down to species level, if species galleries exist, and that the gallery is in the category. As I am not familiar with taxonomy, I will follow existing identifications and not re-ID myself. Categories completed are below:
[edit] Plants
Lamiales (15/22 families)
- Acanthaceae
- Bignoniaceae
- Boraginaceae
- Byblidaceae
- Gratiolaceae
- Lentibulariaceae
- Linderniaceae
- Martyniaceae
- Myoporaceae
- Paulowniaceae
- Pedaliaceae
- Phrymaceae
- Scrophulariaceae
- Stilbaceae
- Tetrachondraceae
[edit] Mammals
Cetecea (1 family)
[edit] Flickr
Most uploads from Flickr get detected and added into the Flickr review system appropriately. However some circumvent the process, so I'm tagging these. Unlike previous runs which I did automatically, I'm doing these semi-automatically on my bot account. The semi-automatic process is necessary due to complications in a minority of cases (Commons users who happen to link to their Flickr page or similar). The current backlog to check is about 5000 files.
