About

I am Patrick Audley, a Canadian software architect and technologist based in Alberta.

On Wikipedia, I work mostly on source quality, citation cleanup, Canadian technology history, scholarly publication metadata, early Internet and security companies, and linked-data topics. My related Wikidata account page is User:Patrickaudley.

Editing focus

• Canadian technology companies, especially defunct CLECs, startups, and BC/AB-incorporated entities
• Scholarly publications and publication metadata
• Linked open data, authority control, entity matching, and constraint cleanup
• Canadian trademark metadata in Wikidata, including Canadian Trademark Registration Number property work, CIPO identifiers, entity matching, and ownership statements
• Reliable-source review for technology and business history

Disclosures

Some topics overlap with my professional history, public professional record, or current projects. For those topics, I use normal conflict-of-interest handling: disclose the relationship, use article talk pages or Articles for Creation for substantive content, and leave review or acceptance decisions to uninvolved editors.

I do not take paid Wikipedia editing work.

Working method

For connected topics, I prefer talk-page edit requests, AfC, and source-focused discussion. I keep routine maintenance edits, citation repairs, and formatting fixes narrow, uncontroversial, and easy to inspect.

For article claims, I use independent reliable sources such as newspapers, trade publications, peer-reviewed publications, government registries, public filings, and publisher-maintained archives. I use Wikidata for discovery, identifiers, and cross-project alignment, not as a substitute for article sourcing.
