Biography
William Michael Connolley (born 12 April 1964) is a British software engineer, writer, and blogger on climatology. Until December 2007 he was Senior Scientific Officer in the Physical Sciences Division in the Antarctic Climate and the Earth System project at the British Antarctic Survey, where he worked as a climate modeller. After this he became a software engineer for Cambridge Silicon Radio..
Connolley began editing Wikipedia in 2003 and served as a Wikipedia administrator from 2006 until 2009. He has been cited and quoted in the media regarding these activities, especially with respect to his editing in the area of climate change. He was cited by Nature magazine, in their December 2005 review of the reliability of Wikipedia, as an example of an expert who edits Wikipedia. Nature quoted Connolley, in 2006, as saying that “some scientists have become frustrated with Wikipedia” but that “conflict can sometimes result in better articles”. In July 2006, a New Yorker article described him as briefly becoming “a victim of an edit war over the entry on global warming”, in which a sceptic repeatedly “watered down” the article’s explanation of the greenhouse effect. Connolley told the magazine that Wikipedia “gives no privilege to those who know what they’re talking about”. Various books have cited Connolley as an example of how expert editors on Wikipedia are given “no more credence” than anonymous editors of the site. In 2007, The Sunday Times of London ran an interview of author Andrew Keen that discussed Connolley and his Wikipedia editing. It identified Connolley as “an expert on global warming”, stating: “After trying to correct inaccuracies Connolley was accused of trying to remove ‘any point of view which does not match his own’. Eventually he was limited to making just one edit a day.” The article stated that Wikipedia’s Arbitration Committee “gave no weight to [Connolley’s] expertise, and treated him with the same credibility as his anonymous opponent.”
