"To the extent we are trusted, it will not be because we are right, but because we are honest. The only way to show we are honest to to present the facts and arguments that go against us as carefully as the ones we think correct. The reader will judge. Any compromise with this is a sign that we distrust the reader's intelligence and judgment so much that we are afraid to disclose that there are those who disagree."

Greetings! I've been at Wikipedia since the spring of 2006, and work on a variety of topics, mostly in the life sciences, Canadian issues, and climate change mitigation.

Clayoquot Sound (pronounced “clack-wot”, not “clay-o-quot”), is a beautiful wilderness area on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. In real life, I am a woman in Vancouver and work in the software development industry. I use the accounts Clayoquot2 and Clayoquot3 for test edits.

Articles to which I've made big contributions include:

• Sustainable energy
• Sea otter
• Downtown Eastside
• Killer whale
• Sea otter conservation
• Michael Bigg
• Low milk supply
• Energy poverty and cooking
• Christopher Reeve
• Breast (more de-writing than writing)
• Delayed sleep phase syndrome
• Polar bear
• Oliver Schroer
• Carles Puyol
• North Shore Rescue

I've also had lots of fun collaborating on Common Raven, Humpback Whale, Cougar, and Lion.

I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to meet many Wikipedians in real life and I'm fairly active in outreach, especially when it comes to improving climate articles. I am supporting TatjanaClimate in her work at the Global Systems Institute and I train trainers for various events. On July 17, 2023 I led a climate-focused editathon, for which I'm receiving funding from Wikimedia NYC. I made some edits related to this event, such as removing copyright violations. In 2023-2024 I did some work as a part-time Wikipedian in Residence at the Hydrogen Science Coalition.

I am currently a part-time Wikipedian in Residence at Energy Tracker Asia, working with their network of academic subject matter experts to improve articles related to environment and energy. My work with Energy Tracker Asia is funded by the Meliore Foundation. In this role, I have full editorial independence. The contents of my edits are not directed by any organization and any errors and biases in my work are my own.
