User:MargaretRDonald

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


My name is Margaret Donald, and I have been interested for a few years now in identifying (and looking at) the plants I encounter in the bush. My first foray into the wiki world (apart from a monthly contribution to the ongoing viability of this amazing enterprise) was to upload some photos during a competition to encourage more contributors and contributions. And then I was away (editing in wikisource, wikispecies, wikimedia, wikipedia), with the ever-constant purpose of linking, linking, linking, to original source material, particularly botanical.

Second account

[edit]

I have a second account User:MRD1943 for outreach work in order to have a "vanilla account" to use in creating screenshots and live demonstrations for new users so they will see behaviour similar to their own account unaffected by the preference choices in my regular account. This is permitted by WP:VALIDALT.
