I'm Riley, a Wikipedia editor from British Columbia, Canada. Feel free to talk to me using one of the contact options below. As a courtesy to others and for my own tracking, my on-going projects can be found here.
Welcome
My name is Riley, I am from British Columbia, Canada where I live in the cold North. My home wiki is meta where I am administrator and I trend towards having a global presence. I also enjoy writing content on the English Wikipedia. While I can be contacted on my home wiki, I am available to talk on any wiki if you use my talk page or otherwise ping me.
On 23 November 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Melissa Perrine, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that skiing guide Andy Bor helped visually impaired skiier Melissa Perrine win medals at the 2010 Winter Paralympics by directing her with microphones and speakers? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
On 11 January 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Rebeccah Slater, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that British neuroscientist Rebeccah Slater led a study that showed that not only do babies experience pain, they may be more sensitive to it than adults? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Rebeccah Slater. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Rebeccah Slater), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

I feel it is important to openly disclosure previous instances or cases of misconduct. On 22 March 2013, under the previous username of "Riley Huntley", I shared a temporary password with another user that I trusted to assist me with making an edit while I was mobile/travelling. At this time, I held several advanced rights on the English Wikipedia and sysop on Wikidata. During a routine check by a CheckUser, it was discovered that another user accessed my IP and an WP:ANI case was opened. My advanced rights were removed as it was considered a breach of trust, and I resigned my Wikidata sysop permissions "under a cloud". As per sugar case #8055, I also lost access to non-public data. As of February 2016, my non-public access was reinstated per my request upon my return from an English Wikipedia wikibreak. I returned to working with the Accounts Creation and OTRS teams.
During this time, I was not blocked, sanctioned or investigated by Arbcom.
