Paid work[edit]
From 13 February 2020 onwards, I am the Wikimedian In Residence at the Khalili Collections. This involves some uploads of material to Commons, which are now mostly done through a dedicated account, User:MartinPoulter (KC WIR). The project page is at w:en:Wikipedia:GLAM/Khalili.
From 25 October 2016 to 31 October 2019, I was employed as the Wikimedian In Residence at the University of Oxford, based at the Bodleian Libraries. This was mainly a role that involves training staff within the university and sharing images and data from research projects.
From April 2015 to March 2016, I worked as the Wikimedian In Residence for the Bodleian Libraries, Oxford. This involves using this account for paid editing in addition to my usual volunteer work. I have put in place a system for bulk uploading to Commons from the Bodleian's collections, which I have been specifically authorised to release under a free licence. See Category:Files uploaded by the Bodleian Libraries' Wikimedian In Residence. There is a project page on Wikipedia.
Outreach[edit]
- I wrote "Crowdsourcing the restoration and reuse of images" (section in the Jisc infoKit on Crowdsourcing)
Scientific categories I like to tidy up now and then[edit]
- Category:DNA
- Category:Ebolavirus
- Category:Economic diagrams
- Category:Fullerenes
- Category:HIV
- Category:Mandelbrot sets
- Category:Periodic table
- Category:Psychology

This work is made much easier by the Cat-a-lot gadget.
Interesting image collections[edit]
- Wellcome Images is awesome! I'm interested in finding uses for the roughly 100,000 images they have licensed as CC-BY. Project page
- The Open Access Media Importer is awesome! I'm interested in finding uses for media extracted from Open Access academic papers.

I have access to both Photoshop and GIMP and use these for basic restoration such as contrast correction, rotation, or removing scratches.
