			'''Kudpung''' is a seventy-something 1940s native of Worcestershire, England. A retired university lecturer and published author, he is widely travelled and has lived abroad for over 50 years including stays of 17 years in Germany (] and Berlin), 12 years in France (]), and Thailand where he now lives since 2000 (with several short periods in India). His interests that influence his Misplaced Pages contributions are in linguistics, teaching methodology, music, (classical, ], and ]), ], 19th century English and French theatre and literature, UK ], wine (] and some ]), and ] and ] cuisine.

			He joined Misplaced Pages in 2006 and was made an ] in 2011. His focus was on reforms of ] and co-developing ] systems. He created and provided content mainly for articles on ] related settlements and Rhône Valley wines, biographies (especially of women) and musicians. He coordinated the large ] and its associated articles for a decade, the ], and and occasionally did translations from other Wikipedias to English of important missing articles of all kinds. He is a former de facto Editor-in-Chief of the Misplaced Pages newspaper ] for which he has also written several articles. He attended ] conferences and meetups on several continents. In order to maintain reliable sources for articles, Kudpung donates to the .

			People often ask where the name Kudpung (IPA: /ˈkəd ˈpʌŋ/) comes from: '' 'While my house was being built in a small remote settlement near ] in 2006, the local council was erecting a new village name sign on the road in front of my land. 'Kudpung' it said, and as I sat down to register a Misplaced Pages account a few moments later, it was the first word that came into my mind.' '' (the district council has since changed the Romanised spelling to Kut Phueng)
	<br />
	'''Kudpung''' is the name of a village in ], Northeastern Thailand.
	It also the main home of this contributor to the Misplaced Pages, a semi-retired British academic who was born and raised in ], ], England, in 1949.
	My father was one of the boffins who who contributed to the development of ]. I left England in my early 20s after taking a first degree in Business Studies to spend six years in ] with ], followed by a further nine years in ] where I studied ], ] (media), language ], and Applied Foreign Languages. I play the piano, the organ, the drums, and the vibraphone and while in Berlin I specialised in jazz and toured much of Europe with ] and fusion bands. For a short while In the early 1980s I presented a daily programme on a Spanish radio station. <br>In 1988 following several years of involvement with the ], I moved permanently to the ] where I taught languages and marketing in a regional university, and developed media and marketing solutions for ], while producing a few acres of ] for the ].<br>In 2000 I settled in ] where I ended up teaching in a public university in Bangkok, designing teacher training programmes for the The Ministry of Education, and finally developing the languages department of a teacher training facility for a large group of ]s, and collaborating on the development of new Cambridge University ] exams. Over the years, I have published a lot of stuff on linguistics and travel, and a series of English language text books (2004) specifically for use in Southeast Asia.<br>I retired from academic work in 2008 to my Thai home in Kudpung where I occupy my time with translating, writing, composing, and running a small consultancy. I return to ] regularly. My daughter by a previous marriage is a chair professor in a French university.

	<br />
	i've been editing Wikipdia for a fairly long time, and my work has been mainly taken up with creating and improving ], Thailand, Worcestershire articles, and more recently, getting the ] up and running. Knowing that my research is fairly thorough, and that I'm able to write reasonably neutral prose, I had never really considered nominating anything for ]. The Malvern article because of its brilliant teamwork, was to be the exception, and it taught me that good, friendly, and motivated collaboration can turn almost any article into a potential GA, or even FA candidate. <br>Although I spend quite a bit of time (in bursts) on the Misplaced Pages, my article space edit count is '''very low''' because:
	*I concentrate on providing content and references for articles.
	*I prepare my work and new creations in my sandbox before posting to article space.
	*I spend a lot of time discussing improvements with other editors.
	*Wherever possible, I group my edits to avoid cluttering edit history logs.
	*I don't use automated tools to make thousands of changes per day without at least reading the offending articles.
	*I don't believe high edit counts, bloated self-prommotion, and arrogance, are qualifications for barnstars or adminship.
	*I believe untidy, immature, and messy user pages, especially of admins, are a sign of untidy, immature, and messy minds.
	*I don't go out of my way to find fault and revert good faith editing errors - I put friendly comments on talk pages instead.
	*I don't get involved in edit wars, especially when they are started by admins.
	*I stay reasonably civil at most times, even in cases of condescending and ] behaviour by by admins.
	*I know for a fact that some admins misuse their powers, but I know better than to argue with them.
	*I don't waste my breath on adolescent admins who treat every mature, experienced editor like a newbie.
	*] almost always concludes in the favour of admins and self-appointed Misplaced Pages policemen.
	I was once asked why I don't submit a ]. The answer was for all the reasons above, and a complete failure to understand how ] get the admin tools.

Page stats

This user has been editing Misplaced Pages for more than 15 years (18 years, 2 months, and 18 days)

This user was an admin for 9 years

in 2012 this user created the

In 2012 this user created the
Counter-Vandalism Academy

Hello

Kudpung is a seventy-something 1940s native of Worcestershire, England. A retired university lecturer and published author, he is widely travelled and has lived abroad for over 50 years including stays of 17 years in Germany (Niedersachsen and Berlin), 12 years in France (Avignon), and Thailand where he now lives since 2000 (with several short periods in India). His interests that influence his Misplaced Pages contributions are in linguistics, teaching methodology, music, (classical, Bebop, and Fusion), French avant-gard theatre, 19th century English and French theatre and literature, UK television comedy, wine (Côtes du Rhône and some Burgundy), and German and French cuisine.

He joined Misplaced Pages in 2006 and was made an administrator in 2011. His focus was on reforms of RfA and co-developing new page quality control systems. He created and provided content mainly for articles on Malvern related settlements and Rhône Valley wines, biographies (especially of women) and musicians. He coordinated the large WikiProject Schools and its associated articles for a decade, the WikiProject Worcestershire, and and occasionally did translations from other Wikipedias to English of important missing articles of all kinds. He is a former de facto Editor-in-Chief of the Misplaced Pages newspaper The Signpost for which he has also written several articles. He attended Wikimania conferences and meetups on several continents. In order to maintain reliable sources for articles, Kudpung donates to the Internet Archive.

People often ask where the name Kudpung (IPA: /ˈkəd ˈpʌŋ/) comes from: 'While my house was being built in a small remote settlement near Udon in 2006, the local council was erecting a new village name sign on the road in front of my land. 'Kudpung' it said, and as I sat down to register a Misplaced Pages account a few moments later, it was the first word that came into my mind.' (the district council has since changed the Romanised spelling to Kut Phueng)

This user is the owner of multiple Misplaced Pages accounts in a manner permitted by policy.

I began in 2005 by just looking stuff up and making occasional very minor corrections as an IP user. Some of the userboxes describe best what I did here. In early 2011 I was asked by many editors to consider being an admin. I thought I'd give it a go and was elected by what was in those days a very respectable majority. I worked solidly as an admin for 9 years, but it's not a job I would recommend for casual editors or the faint hearted; RfA is a walk in the park for a popular candidate, for anyone else it's still the most toxic venue on Misplaced Pages. It comes with a Sword of Damocles that can strike at any moment, and when it does, all the work you did for Misplaced Pages is trashed in an instant.

Off-Wiki

I attended several Wikimanias and other meetups. I was member of the WMUK Chapter and ran its booth at Wikimania 2014. Here in Thailand I occasionally used to give talks in schools and colleges about Misplaced Pages. Wikimania 2020 in Bangkok was cancelled due to COVID-19. The WMF, despite boasting about its grants systems, does very little to support or encourage it outreach workers or attendance at major events. At the end of the day, one asks oneself why the volunteers are helping to boost the celebrity salaries and life styles of those at the top.

Helping others

I made around 1,500 edits to the Editor Help Desk which ended when the Teahouse was created and finally took over. My talk page, at times one of the busiest on Misplaced Pages, was also always open to anyone wanting some direct help; I didn't know the answers to everything, but I did my best.
I was an Volunteer Response Team agent for a while until I was kicked off it for lack of activity, ironically when I was in the middle of resolving a high profile biographical issue which turned out to be one of the biggest in VRT history.

Other stuff

I still vote on almost all RfA and on all other elections. I have launched or instigated several major RfC on policy changes such as ACPERM and closed many minor ones. For obvious reasons I still write a voter guides for the Arbcom elections.

The ANI noticeboard is really ruled by what is often referred to the 'peanut gallery', a semi regular cohort of wannabe admins who never will be. It's is little more than kettles and pots yelling at each other like the dead common characters across the cobbled street of Corrie. Occasionally some undesirable users do end up getting blocked and banned, but the BOOMERANG is a very common phenomenon.

The Signpost: In 2018 I saved Misplaced Pages's newspaper from ceasing publication completely and remained as its Editor-in-Chief for several months. It's still being published on a monthly basis, usually on time, but no longer with the same enthusiasm or rich content. With the contributors of interesting and/or entertaining content having been intimidated and driven away or given up, it's now less of a magazine and what's left is mainly a newsletter of facts of the month and yet another platform for WMF propaganda. I consider The Signpost (or at least a magazine) to be a hugely important source of information and opinion for the average (and not so average) active Misplaced Pages editor, and it's a shame that so few are interested in being regular contributors to it, and it's recent 'editorial board' has collapsed again already by December 2022.

Wikimedia Foundation, the 'owners' of the volunteer Misplaced Pages projects, has always been a thorn in Misplaced Pages's side. That bloated, partly extremely highly salaried and privileged group of people that has gone from 7 to over 700 employees in my time, spends more of the funds our work generates on its own high-flying existence, while the volunteers are frequently called upon to clean up the mess it creates and its gross professional errors and ambitious drafts of its plans for the future. I have been fortunate enough to have been able to stimulate its involvement in some necessary development, but today's WMF is still its own worst enemy and it lacks the trust of the volunteer communities. The WMF is no longer so enthusiastic of the main role of creating good encyclopedias in many languages; instead, it sees itself as becoming an important, global socio-political movement. It's not what the volunteers editors signed up for.

Misplaced Pages is not a social network

No, it's not, but Misplaced Pages is like a large office. There are clear sociograms that crystallize out of the work here, and for those of us who work voluntarily day-in, day-out on WP, there used to be something nice about it. Unfortunately there are some regulars who do their best to piss people off - but you get them in every office. Some of them will be responsible for the ultimate demise of the English Misplaced Pages. Since mid 2019, the Arbitration Committee (and some of its former members), the ultimate internal judge and jury over user behaviour, has been largely instrumental for turning the project almost into a police state; George Orwell's novel 1984 has been described by the encyclopedia of police science as "the definitive fictional treatment of a police state, which has also influenced contemporary usage of the term".

Retirement

Too old for the Misplaced Pages drama, some health issues I was lucky to survive after a long hospitalisation, I decided to call it a day and deleted my watchlist, stopped my work in most areas and retired. Apart from making minor corrections on the fly while reading articles and perhaps voting or commenting on issues I still think are important enough to spend a few minutes on, I am no longer actively engaged in content, Wikiprojects, or outreach work. I've frankly had enough of this circus and its poor excuse for a collaborative project. I do make an occasional effort to maintain and update the many articles I wrote, but I don't own them.

Next?

Trump, Taliban, Biden, Brexit, Afghanistan, North Korea, Global warming - floods, famine, drought, wildfire; COVID-19, Ukraine, UK politics - what a year 2022 was.
Misplaced Pages's own back office environment is now one of the most unpleasant volunteer collaborative spaces on the Internet; its Arbitration Committee, Paid Editing, and pompous wannabe admins are well on track to turn Jimbo Wales' original idea into an (un)natural catastrophe that will ultimately destroy this project. My grandchildren are currently cleaning up the WMF's mess and of course doing it for free.
2023? Probably like other disenchanted users, I've already moved on to make myself useful on other collaborative web projects where experienced, industrious users do not have to work alongside governance obsessive careerists.
