I'm a Wikipedian based in the UK. My contributions here are primarily to articles on video games and scientists, you can find a list of the articles I've created or done any major work on below. I edit an assortment of articles which take my interest in addition to these. As an admin I tend to contribute at AfD, CSD, and on edit filters.
I also work on The Wikipedia Library and Moderator Tools (where we are currently working on Automoderator) at the Wikimedia Foundation, for which I may edit from Samwalton9 (WMF). Edits, statements, or other contributions made from this account are my own, and may not reflect the views of the Foundation.
If you want to ask me a question or otherwise speak to me please feel free to post on my talk page. If you think there is an obvious (policy based!) reason to revert an admin action I've taken then go ahead - don't feel required to ask me first, but please let me know if you've done so.
I have some alternative accounts which I use(d) for various testing purposes, a currently inactive bot account SW9Bot, and a doppelgänger account Sam Walton.

Recall[edit]
If the community thinks I've done something so wrong that I can no longer be trusted with the administrator toolset (through the consensus of a well participated discussion at an appropriate noticeboard such as WP:AN or WP:ANI), then I will happily resign my sysop rights.
