I am an [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrator]], [[Wikipedia:OS|oversighter]] and [[Wikipedia:Checkuser|checkuser]] on the Simple English Wikipedia. If you need help with oversight, please [[Special:EmailUser/Peterdownunder|'''email me''' directly]], do not leave a message here. 

I enjoy writing with the challenge of using Simple English. I worked with students with [[Learning disability|learning disabilities]] for more than 30 years. I have a special interest in adding [[Australia]]n pages to the Wikipedia. If you would like to help with an Australian page check the list here for [[User:Peterdownunder/Australia|needed articles]]. I am always happy to help new editors with any questions - anytime.
