User:Ben the Bos

I'm Ben_the_Bos, and I'm a public librarian in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I'm queer and use he/him pronouns.

I started editing Wikipedia many years ago, mostly fixing typos and correcting links, but got more involved in 2016 through Art+Feminism and Wiki Loves Pride edit-a-thons in Minnesota. I've participated in or hosted six edit-a-thons as of 2018 and presented "Wikipedia As Community Organizing" at the 2017 Minnesota Library Association Conference. I'm excited to do more! If you're planning an edit-a-thon or other event in Minnesota, please let me know how I can help. I'm by no means an expert Wikipedian, but I'm learning and I'll try my best.

I attended the WikiConference North America in 2016.

Feel free to leave a message on my talk page or email me.

I focus most of my editing on current speculative fiction - I'm excited to make it easier to find out more about all the great work being published right now.

I've started the wikipedia articles for the following authors:

		Thank you for creating the article on Brooke Bolander. The article was needed and you started it off with good references and info. Much appreciated. SouthernNights (talk) 00:23, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
