Apologies: I have changed my Wikipedia name to my real name [[user:RayNorris | RayNorris]].






G'day

My name is Ray and I live in [[Sydney]], [[Australia]], but was born and grew up in [[Hertfordshire]], [[UK]]. I first started contributing to [[Wikipedia]] in September [[2005]].

I am an [[astrophysicist]], but prefer not to write [[Wikipedia]] articles on that as it's too much like work (although I'm happy to help out where necessary). Instead, most of my work in [[Wikipedia]] tends to be around the culture of [[Indigenous Australians]], especially [[Aboriginal Art]] and [[Aboriginal Astronomy]], and issues facing [[Indigenous Australians]] today .

==New articles or stubs I have created (not redirects or renaming)==
* [[Aboriginal deaths in custody]]
* [[Aboriginal stone arrangements]]
* [[Australian Aboriginal astronomy]]
* [[Bidjigal]]
* [[Bidjigal Reserve]]
* [[Big Bill Neidjie]]
* [[Caledon Bay]]
* [[Caledon Bay crisis]]
* [[Coniston, NT]]
* [[Donald Thomson]]
* [[Gove land rights case]]
* [[Lunar standstill]]
* [[Sydney rock engravings]]
* [[Wardaman]]
* [[Woodah Island]]
* [[Yirrkala]]

==Articles to which I have substantially contributed:==
* [[Arnhem Land]]
* [[Baiame]]
* [[Daramulan]]
* [[Galarrwuy Yunupingu]]
* [[Indigenous Australians]]
* [[Indigenous Australian art]]

==Other useful pages (listed here for my own reference!)==
* [[special pages]]
* [[Wikipedia:How to edit a page]]
* [[Help:editing]]
* [[Wikipedia:Australian Wikipedians' notice board|Australian Wikipedians' notice board]].

==My to-do list==
* Flesh out articles on Arnhem Land, bark paintings, stone arrangements
* Move all my pics into Wikimedia and make licensing consistent
* Write articles on Bark painting, Mundoes, Kuwema, Boorong
* Write Bill Harney article (on both of them with disambiguation)
* Write longer article on Australian Rock Art, including kakadu paintings etc.
* Write article on Panaramitee engravings

==Images which I have contributed==
