For anyone wondering, I'm the collection manager of a major US insect collection, at the
University of California, Riverside, a Commissioner of the
International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, and an actively publishing insect systematist. I work with several different insect orders, but focus on the
Hymenoptera in particular. I am also intimately involved with efforts to create a standardized "Official" registry of zoological scientific names (
ZooBank), and expect I may ultimately get involved in formal collaboration with Wikipedia.
