This user has been editing Wikipedia for more than twenty years—since April 21, 2004.

I've been online since the early 1980's, starting with BBS' and BITNET before the Internet became a thing. I am currently employed by the Internet Society (ISOC) as a Senior Advisor to the CEO, helping with communications. I also research and monitor low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites for Internet access (ex. Starlink, OneWeb), write about Internet shutdowns, and communicate about any amicus briefs the organization files. (NOTE: I do not edit the Internet Society's article on Wikipedia due to WP:COI.)

Previous employers: Voxeo, Mitel, Linuxcare, Linux_Professional_Institute

I am on multiple social networks using a variation of "danyork" or "danyork324".

If you want to say hello, I occasionally stream editing of Wikipedia live on Twitch (danyork324). I no longer have a specific schedule as I did during the pandemic.

Topics of interest:

• Pretty much anything about the Internet, particularly its infrastructure.
• Open_standards, particularly those from the Internet Engineering Task Force
• WordPress
• IPv6
• DNSSEC
• TLS
• VoIP Security
• Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
• Curling
• COVID-19_pandemic_in_Vermont

Tools or projects I want to learn more about:

• Wikishootme tool (news article) (meta-wiki)
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Vermont
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors
• Installing MediaWiki from a Docker container
• Template:Cite IETF

A few of the Wikipedia articles or categories I initially created:

• Vermont Community Newspaper Group
• Category:Cloud_communication_platforms
• Link_Layer_Discovery_Protocol (along with LLDP-MED that was later merged)
• Telecommunications_Industry_Association
• Type-length-value
• Pentair
• Delta_Machinery
• Mean_Shortest_Distance

For my own reference - aricles I often refer people to:

• WP:REFB
• WP:EL
• WP:PSCOI - Plain and simple COI
• WP:NOT - What Wikipedia is not
