This is my first meeting, and the experience was overwhelming. I will focus on the three major areas that interested me most, which include: 1. My experience watching the Philippines display their culture, the way they dance, dress and so on. I wondered how I will be in Nigeria and enjoy such sights. This showed that Wikipedia is a community where one can assemble what is happening in his environment and add it to the Wiki space for visibility purposes. 2. Wiki love monuments Wikimania 2022: Here I witnessed that one can freely document and raise awareness of built cultural heritage. The presenter showed three major goals of Wiki loves monument to include: increasing contributions to Wikimedia, 2. bolstering local Wikimedia communities, and 3. freely documenting and raising awareness of cultural heritage. They showed how they work through organizers at national, regional and international levels down to the participants. I saw how responsibilities were shared among international and national team members. 3. Wikimania Hackathon: Introduction to Wiki Cloud - I discovered that there are services that are obtainable in wiki cloud, services that are open and free, the ones dedicated to professionals, that of volunteers with platforms and services. In Wiki love monuments, there are structures, photos, cultures and work like bringing in new users. They normally do campaign in September. There were a lot to learn like Women in Red that means people trying to fill gender gaps, wiki projects, etc. Even though, the Pheedloop environment was not favourable at the onset, with the help of YouTube I was able to enjoy the festival. I wish to learn more and be part of what is happening in the Wiki world. Thank you for the stipend, it was very helpful.
