About me

Hello! I'm Steven Walling. I started out as an English Wikipedian in 2006, have been a volunteer sysop since 2008, and also contribute to Commons. In 2010, I joined the Wikimedia Foundation as part of the Fellowships program, and today I'm a staff member based in San Francisco.

My work

Here at the Foundation, I do research and organizing projects that support the growth and continued health of the volunteer communities that build the projects and fulfill Wikimedia's mission. Currently that means working on experiments to improve editor retention on Wikipedia. In the past, I've done everything from helping run IRC office hours to starting ten.wikipedia.org.
