In the real world I am Liam Wyatt (the username is an anagram). I am the Multimedia Coordinator at the Dictionary of Sydney. I credit Wikipedia for giving me the expertise to be able to work as a professional encyclopedist. Thankyou.
As of January 2009 I am also now the Vice President of Wikimedia Australia. You may know me principally as the interviewer and panel member for the WikipediaWeekly Podcast. I have interviewed a range of people including:

In 2008 I wrote my thesis entitled "The Academic Lineage of Wikipedia: Connections and Disconnections in the Theory and Practice of History"at UNSW.

I have since received my marks and was awarded the Degree - First Class and the "UNSW 2008 University Medal for history"!
