I'm involved in outreach for the Wikimedia projects, including Wikisource. I've previously done this in my role as Wikimedia Ambassador for the educational charity Jisc.

From April 2015 to March 2016 I was the Wikimedian In Residence at the Bodleian Libraries, Oxford. This involved paid editing on the Wikimedia projects (to share content from the Bodleian and elsewhere in Oxford University). I am also using this account for volunteer editing.

My "home" wiki is the English Wikipedia. My profile there lists my publications about Wikimedia.

My profile on Wikimedia UK lists the workshops and presentations I've given for or about Wikimedia.

Here's my Wikisource author profile.
