Hi, I'm Milton, and I'm a Wikimedia contributor. I am an Auburn University graduate student studying Biology. Most of my contributions are fish-related, made possible by the amazing power known as Google Scholar as well as the library. My contribution focus is in topics related to catfish. I may also flesh out other fish articles with the newer, 4th edition of Nelson (2006), Fishes of the World, as FishBase and most Wikipedia articles currently reference the outdated 3rd edition.
