Meet Your Wikimedian In Residence

Charles Matthews, part of the WikiFactMine Project run by ContentMine Ltd., has previously worked as the Wikimedian In Residence for the Betty & Gordon Moore Library in Cambridge and for Wikimedia UK on edutech. He has been a Wikipedia editor since 2003.

As an ambassador for text, data and content mining on- and offline, his project work has involved in-person interactions with librarians, academics and members of the public in and around Cambridge. An accredited Wikimedia UK trainer, he organises a range of local events.
