मेरा काम

I am a Trust & Safety Specialist at the Wikimedia Foundation. I started here in 2015, when we were called the Community Advocacy team, and I've been along for the ride since! My current responsibilities as part of the Trust and Safety team include liaising with the Ombuds Commission, supporting the Foundation's work in furthering Healthy Community Culture, Inclusivity, and Safe Spaces, and a variety of smaller tasks like advising on the Foundation's response to crises and supporting staff who are learning to work on the community's projects.

Hi, I’m Karen Brown, but you may have already met me in my volunteer capacity as Fluffernutter. I’ve been an active Wikimedia editor, mostly on the English Wikipedia, since 2008. I am an administrator, wikignome, and occasional article writer on the English Wikipedia. My editing interests include copyediting and medico-legal topics (particularly notable murders and murderers). Check out this featured article I wrote (cw: child death), or how I re-wrote this one.

Outside of Wikipedia, I have a degree in Linguistics, and I speak (slow) conversational Spanish and a few words of Italian and Czech. I dabble in learning to program in Python, but I struggle to get much farther than "hello world". I knit and crochet (and hoard pretty yarn, which, I assure you, is a separate hobby). In my spare time, I have volunteered as an EMT, sung in an an all-female a cappella group, and rescued two cats and a very, very lazy ex-racing greyhound.
