The WikiProject Royal Society is an ongoing collaboration and partnership between Wikimedia UK and the Royal Society to improve coverage of science, scientists and the Royal Society in Wikipedia, Wikidata[1] and Wikimedia Commons using the resources of the Royal Society, the United Kingdom's National Academy of the Sciences. Why? Because scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians can (and should) help shape wikipedia for the better.[2][3][4][5]
The project grew out of the appointment of John Byrne (normally User:Johnbod) as Wikipedian in residence at the Royal Society in London from January to June 2014 (part time, one day per week), as a pilot scheme. See User:Wiki at Royal Society John or this Wikimedia UK blogpost. From May 2014 he held a similar role at Cancer Research UK, using the alternate account User:Wiki CRUK John for edits made in this role.
