About me
I've been editing Wikipedia since 2013 as Samwalton9. Starting off working on video game articles, I then shifted focus to working on scientist biographies and administration tasks, before getting involved with The Wikipedia Library in 2015 coordinating metrics on a volunteer basis. Since April 2016 I have been Partnerships Coordinator for the library.
I live in the UK where, outside of Wikipedia, I'm a postgraduate student in astrophysics; my research uses computer simulations to try to gain a deeper understanding of the formation and evolution of galaxies like our own.
My work
With The Wikipedia Library my role focuses on coordinating our access donation partnerships with publishers, archives, and online reference works. This involves both reaching out to new potential partners and overseeing ongoing partnerships.
