Hey there — I'm Kevin, a 30-something Wikimedian and software engineer from the United States.
I mainly contribute to the English Wikipedia under the name "SuperHamster" (see my userpage there). On Wikimedia Commons, I edit under User:Kevin Payravi.
I made my first edit to Wikipedia in 2007. Years later, I became more active in affiliate and event organizing. I co-founded the Ohio Wikimedians User Group, and serve on the Board of the Wikimedia District of Columbia chapter. I help organize WikiConference North America, Wiki Loves Monuments in the United States, and WikiPortraits. Don't hesitate to reach out to me regarding any of those groups and projects.
I have also developed and maintain several wiki-related tools:
- Cite Unseen, a user script that adds categorical icons to Wikipedia citations (editable sites, advocacy groups, government-controlled sources, etc.), to provide readers and editors a quick initial evaluation of citations at a glance.
- View it!, a suite of tools to help Wikipedia users discover all relevant Wikimedia Commons media depicting—or otherwise related to—the article they are reading. This includes a user script that embeds a gallery of images at the top of articles, as well as an API for other users to pull media related to any topic that has a Wikidata Q-ID.
- WikiAsteroids, a fun Asteroids-inspired arcade game powered by real-time Wikipedia edits.
- Indie Wiki Buddy, a browser extension that redirects users from corporate wiki farms to independent, community-controlled alternatives.
