My private editing activities concentrate on Southern African, primarily Namibian topics. Occasionally I stumble across inaccuracies in other subject areas which I then attempt to repair.
I teach computer networking at Namibia University of Science and Technology in Windhoek. In this role I have a few Wikipedia assignments because there currently is no second active Wikipedian at my institution. Among these "official" tasks are:
When someone in Namibia requests a public lecture, training, or some general information on Wikipedia it will usually be me to deliver it.
I am the inofficial campus ambassador of Namibia University of Science and Technology. I coordinated a mandatory Wikipedia assignment from 2010 to 2012. We had to stop it due to excessive copyright violations; the assignment is now voluntary.

"The First Law of Holes remains good advice even if you think it is unfair that you are in the hole or you are unsure why you are there [...] if an arbitration case is opened with your username as the casename, you may be in some sort of a hole." --- Newyorkbrad, Aug 2016
