My name is Abigail Brady.  I am from [[London]]. Crikey, I've been here a long time. I came to the [[free culture movement]] from the [[free software]] movement, in which I was active during the late 1990s and early 2000s. I joined Wikipedia in 2003, and became an admin later that year. I wrote and stubbed innumerable articles about national leaders and world geography, along with stuff closer to home.

I used to make lots of maps, but retired from this a long time ago, after other people with actual graphic design skills came along. It was fun to do.  I started the article about the [[7 July 2005 London bombings]]. The next day I was interviewed by [[The World (radio show)|The World]] about this and Wikipedia. They used a sentence of me, in which I inadvertently predicted [[twitter]]'s use in grass-roots news gathering.  I also started the article about the [[Uxbridge Rural District|rural district of Uxbridge]]. Nobody has ever interviewed me about that. 

I am perhaps to blame for several things, including [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Template:EU_countries&oldid=2403741 the use of templates to sidelink articles], [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Template:GFDL&oldid=2461042 image tagging], and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Meetup/London1&oldid=3072533 practice of Wikipedians meeting up], and possibly [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=The_Cage_%28Star_Trek:_The_Original_Series%29&oldid=1962493 individual articles about episodes of television series].

In the late 2000s I became less active, and therefore have dropped in the [[Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of edits|high score table]] from #22 (in late 2006) to #1793 as of 2024.  During some of this period I was involved in [[openstreetmap]], mapping Leicester and [[central London]].

I have a [http://morwen.net/ professional website].
