| अभिव्यक्ति | I will use what I learned when I was Chair of Wikimedia UK to keep WMF focused on its mission and its communities, and ensure the Board is open, listening and effective. विकिमीडिया आंदोलन के लिए समुदाय प्राथमिकता रखता है। हमें यह नहीं सोचना चाहिए कि डब्ल्यूएमएफ केवल तकनीक के बारे में है। | |
| ऑन्लाइन विकी कार्य | मैं १३ से अधिक वर्षों से विकीमीडिया आंदोलन का हिस्सा रहा हूँ। मैंने देखा है कि कैसे हमने एक पागल विचार को एक उल्लेखनीय, महत्वपूर्ण, वास्तविकता में बदल दिया है, जबकि बाकी का इंटरनेट बिल्लीयों, क्लिकबैट और नकली समाचारों के साथ भर गया है। मैंने यह भी देखा है कि, जब डब्लूएमएफ बोर्ड अच्छी तरह से काम करता है, तो यह कर्मचारियों, सहयोगियों और समुदायों को आम लक्ष्यों तक एक साथ खींचने में मदद करता है - और जो समस्या होती है जब ऐसा नहीं होता।
मैंने २००४ में विकिपीडिया संपादन करना शुरू किया और २००६ में पर प्रबंधक बना। २००७ से कुछ वर्षों के लिए मेरा मुख्य लक्ष्य युद्धपोतों के बारे में अंग्रेजी विकीडिया पर लेखों में सुधार करने पर था, जिसके परिणामस्वरूप अंग्रेजी विकिपीडिया पर चार लेख निर्वाचित लेख बने, जिन्हें एक महीने में लगभग १,६०,००० देखा जाता है। I’ve written essays on Meta about how the WMF should handle conversations with the community, and about how we should think about measuring impact. If I’m elected to the Board I’ll do my best to take my own advice. How we continue to build our communities, and how we promote diverse, top-quality content is the most pressing question we must address in the strategy process. | |
| आफलाइन विकी कार्य | I have a record of making positive changes to Wikimedia organisations that last beyond my own term of office. I joined the board of Wikimedia UK in 2011. In 2012 I became Chair to sort out some serious governance problems we faced at the time. This meant working with the WMF to review Wikimedia UK’s governance, implementing the changes, and moving on to develop our strategy and impact. मैंने बोर्ड के किसी सदस्य के लिए सबसे मुश्किल परिस्थितियों का अनुभव किया है, जैसे कि कार्यकारी निदेशक के संक्रमण का प्रबंध करना, या बोर्ड पर गंभीर मतभेदों का प्रबंधन करना, और उनको दूर करना। I have led the development of training for Wikimedia board members. I set up the first two international board training workshops, and helped shape Wikimedia Conference towards improving affiliates’ governance and programmes. मैं ग्लैम और शिक्षा आउटरीच परियोजनाओं में भी शामिल रहा हूँ और मैंने जेआईएससी जैसी संस्थानों के साथ साझेदारी की स्थापना की है, और मैंने प्रथम विश्व युद्ध से लेकर महिलाओं के सिनेमा तक के विषयों पर संपादनाथन आयोजित किए हैं। Outside of Wikimedia, I have been a fundraiser for a number of non-profits, and worked and volunteered extensively for the UK’s Liberal Democrat party. I find this perspective valuable in thinking about the Wikimedia movement. | |

| अभिव्यक्ति | हमारे आंदोलन के लिए अगली बड़ी चीज होगी आंदोलन के भीतर लोकतांत्रिककरण, गैर-संगठित संपादकों का एकीकरण और एकजुट होना।
By choosing me, besides giving me Board member responsibilities, you are giving me the symbolic power to not only raise those issues but also work on them. | |
| ऑन्लाइन विकी कार्य | मैं २००७ से भाषा समिति का सदस्य रहा हूँ, मैं छोटे समुदायों का अपनी अपनी भाषाओं में विकिमीडिया परियोजनाएँ शुरू करने में मदद करने के लिए उत्तरदायी हूँ।
(पूर्व) स्टीवर्ड के रूप में मैंने सफलतापूर्वक विभिन्न विकीओं पर कई मुश्किल मुद्दों का हल किया है, जिससे उन परियोजनाओं के विकास और अपने समाज का महत्वपूर्ण भाग बनने का मौका मिला। In some regards, my on-wiki contribution has been structural, including active participation in the creation of the Language proposal policy and of the Closing projects policy, and in introducing global sysops etc. २००४ में मैंने सर्बियाई विकिपीडिया समुदाय को बनाने में शुरुआती कदम लिए। निम्नलिखित दो सालों के दौरान मैंने सभी अन्य सर्बियाई भाषा विकिमीडिया परियोजनाओं के आसपास समुदाय के निर्माण पर काम किया। मैं सर्बियाई की अधिकांश परियोजनाओं में एक प्रबंधक और प्रशासक था (और साथ ही विकिपीडिया पर चैकयूजर था)। मैंने सर्बियाई में विकिसमाचार और सर्बियाई और सर्बो-क्रोशियन में विक्षनरी में काफी योगदान दिया है, और कई अन्य परियोजनाओं में भी कार्य किया है, जिसमें विकिपीडिया और अंग्रेजी विकिसमाचार शामिल हैं। | |
| आफलाइन विकी कार्य | मैं विकिमीडिया सर्बिया का सह-संस्थापक था, जो २००५ में पांचवां विकिमीडिया चैप्टर था। मैं इसका पहला अध्यक्ष और पूर्व बोर्ड सदस्य हूँ। संगठन बनाने के अलावा, डब्लूएमआरएस में मेरा सबसे महत्वपूर्ण योगदान उसके व्यावसायिकरण पर काम करना और २००९ और २०१२ के बीच इसके कार्यालय की स्थापना करना था।
In various roles inside of WMRS, I've organized a proto-Wikimedia Conference in 2006, as well as a couple of regional conferences which would eventually become Wikimedia Central and Eastern Europe. My latest contribution to the Wikimedia movement was as a catalyst and initiator of AfroCROWD, the project aiming to incorporate Black Americans into the Wikimedia movement. I reached out Alice because i knew she was a Black American open-content activist, engaged deeply in the work with various ethnolinguistic groups of Americans of African descent and educated her on the multicultural gap in editorship and content on Wikipedia. I am personally structurally contributing to some parts of our movement, like giving servers and maintenance to the websites for Wikimedia Serbia and AfroCROWD through my small company. मैं संबद्धीकरण, अनुसंधान और नामांकन समिति का सदस्य था। | |

| अभिव्यक्ति | The roles of steward, CU, admin, FDC chair, Board member have taught me that we need Board members who communicate with the community, are constructive but able to speak up, have experience, seek consensus in the movement, bring strong expertise. I’ve actually proven these, so I ask for reelection | |
| ऑन्लाइन विकी कार्य | Experience from the roles of steward/checkuser/admin/bureaucrat/ombudsman/FDC (chair). My editing has suffered heavily during my first term as a Board member (the only community-elected one still standing), but I’ve gained the experience needed for the job. My initial plan for the Board work and how it actually went are here. I did a lot of other work (HR, ED recruitment, governance). The wiki traits I have that the Board needs:
The two years on the Board have been a fast learning experience in tough times. Having had it, I'm well positioned to build on it and avoid rookie mistakes (which I surely made, too, while gaining some grey hair). Now I want to help our movement get more democratic, externally&internally friendly, and help us regain our strategic focus so that Wikimedia never becomes irrelevant. | |
| आफलाइन विकी कार्य | I'm a full professor of management (one of the youngest in the field in Poland) at NeRDS and associate faculty at Berkman-Klein Center for Internet&Society at Harvard. I wrote the first ethnography of Wikipedia (Common Knowledge? Stanford University Press - it won 2015 Dorothy Lee Award, among others), and I've published academic articles about Wikipedia, as well as op-eds in magazines (Slate, The Daily Dot, The Chronicle of Higher Education, etc.). I've had visiting appointments at Cornell, Harvard, Berkeley, MIT. My other current research projects involve FOSS organizations governance (OpenHub projects) and online community building in alterscience and DIY-science movements. I understand how good-will participative movements can slide into organizational tensions and bureaucracies, and I hope to be able to avoid it. More on my past work can be read on wiki. I have experience from another board of an organization of a similar budget&size: Copernicus Science Center. I’ve advised on strategy professionally. I also developed and sold 3 Internet startups (but no, I'm not a Silicon Valley type, not even close ;). My experience of having grown up in a regime with censorship, and frugally (~30 USD/month) help me understand the world outside of the Western bubble. For the last 4 years I've been a member of honorary committee of Polish Pride Parade. As a hobby, I practice krav-maga (and I'm an Israeli-licensed instructor), but I've never ever hit a person outside of a training, and I really rarely get angry - possibly due to a really high stress-threshold. | |

| अभिव्यक्ति | To achieve our goal of open knowledge we need to work together as equals, determine our goals together, and maintain our independence. The board needs members who understand our communities. After more than 10 years and 210,000 edits across 110 projects I meet this need. | |
| ऑन्लाइन विकी कार्य | हमारे संपादन समुदायों अद्वितीय हैं और ये अक्सर कैसे समझा जाता है कि वे किस तरह कार्य करते हैं। यह समझ कई वर्षों में बड़े पैमाने पर और लगातार शामिल होने के द्वारा प्राप्त की जा सकती है। एक सक्रिय संपादक के रूप में, मुझे हमारे मूल मूल्यों और आंतरिक कार्यकलापों की उत्कृष्ट समझ है मैं २०१० से अंग्रेजी विकिपीडिया पर प्रबंधक रहा हूँ।
While my online work has mostly focused on developing medical content I have also been involved with helping build a copy and paste detection tool known as CopyPatrol, worked on issues pertaining to undisclosed paid editing, spoken out in favor of our right to host openly licensed content, and helped reunite and bring Wikivoyage on as a sister site. 2011 में मैंने चिकित्सा अनुवाद परियोजना शुरू किया और ट्रांसलेटर्स विदाऊट बार्डर्स (Translators Without Borders) के बाद रूब्रिक और विकीमीडिया ताइवान के साथ मिलकर कार्य किया। इन प्रयासों के कारण १०० से अधिक भाषाओं में काम हुआ और साथ ही ५ मिलियन से अधिक शब्दों का अनुवाद किया गया है। | |
| आफलाइन विकी कार्य | The WMF is in a much better position today than when I was elected to the board in 2015. This is in part a result of my efforts to uphold our values of transparency and democratic decision making. Successes include the roll back of superprotect and the replacement of our ED with one who is a better fit for our movement. Other movement efforts include being a founding member of Wikimedia Canada (WMCA) in 2010 and Wiki Project Med Foundation (WPMEDF) in 2012. I am currently on the board of WMCA and the chair of WPMEDF. In collaboration with Wikimedia Switzerland I helped develop offline medical apps. We currently have versions in 10 languages with more than 150,000 downloads, of which ~80% are from low and middle income countries. These apps are reaching a population which our online content often struggles to reach. Following work with WMF staff, the main Android app will soon have improved offline capabilities. I have researched and published on Wikipedia in peer-reviewed journals, as well as spoken about the importance of what we do. This has included giving talks at academic conferences, speaking to the press, and giving lectures to students. I have been involved with collaborations with a number of like minded organizations including academic journals, the World Health Organization, and the University of California San Francisco. | |

| अभिव्यक्ति | What I have to offer is simply another set of rich Wikimedia experiences and, hopefully, a little bit of a new perspective that comes from a relatively underrepresented region of the world. As any other dedicated Wikimedian, I carry plenty of ideas and hopes for our future that I had wish to speak up... | |
| ऑन्लाइन विकी कार्य | I made my first edit to a Wikipedia article over ten years ago, when I was a little school child who is too disappointed of how little, poor resources he could access in his very own language. Since then, Wikipedia had raised me, educated me, and helped me grow up and understand the world so much better; it taught me how to be subjective, respectful and take an unbiased as far as possible in literally every matter. My work focuses on editing content and creating long, extensively researched articles. So far, I have contributed over a thousand articles on Arabic Wikipedia, nearly 60 of which were nominated as good or featured. I have various contributions to sister Wikprojects as well, having helped in founding ar-Wikiversity and creating a lot of content for Wikibooks and Wikinews among others. Earlier this year, I have successfully finished and electronically published my first book, Hikayat Wikipedia (The Story of Wikipedia), which was viewed and downloaded by a few thousand people. I also do a plenty of logistic work. I was an online ambassador of Wikipedia education program (Egypt), a Wikipedia Library coordinator (Arabic language) and an OTRS member for various periods of time. In 2017, I helped facilitating the strategy discussion among the Arabic community as a Strategy Coordinator. | |
| आफलाइन विकी कार्य | मैं अरबी भाषी क्षेत्र में शुरुआती विकीमीडिया सहयोगियों में से एक विकिमीडिया शाम (क्षेत्र) का सह-संस्थापक था। इससे पहले मैं जॉर्डन में विकिपीडिया शिक्षा कार्यक्रम के पहले कुछ राजदूतों में से एक था, और २०१३ और २०१४ में मैंने, युद्ध के बावजूद, जॉर्डन और सीरिया में विकी लव्हज़ मौनिउमैंटस को शुरू करने में मदद की। विकीमीडिया शाम को शुरू करने के बाद, मैंने मार्च २०१६ में अम्मान में आयोजित होने वाले बीस देशों के प्रतिभागियों के क्षेत्रीय सम्मेलन विकीअराबिया के उपाध्यक्ष के रूप में कार्य किया। मुझे हांगकांग और लंदन में विकिमैनिया में उपस्थित होने का अवसर मिला और इसके साथ ही मैं कुछ अन्य अंतरराष्ट्रीय विकी सम्मेलनों में भाग ले चुका हूँ। वर्तमान में, मैं सक्रिय रूप से अपने विश्वविद्यालय के छात्रों को विकिपीडिया पर नए लेखों का योगदान करने और निर्देश देने में मदद कर रहा हूँ। | |

| अभिव्यक्ति | ¡होला! मैंने वाइस चेयर के रूप में अपने समय को समर्पित किया है ताकि डब्लूएमएफ को एक ऐसे रास्ते पर वापस लाने के लिए जो हमारे समुदाय को दुनिया में मुफ्त ज्ञान साझा करने के लिए शक्ति प्रदान करता है। एक पुरानी विकिपीडियन के रूप में, मुझे पता है कि हमारा कार्य अभी तक पूरा नहीं हुआ है - और मैं अपने आंदोलन की सेवा में अपने अनुभव, अभियान और कौशल को जारी रखने की इच्छा शक्ति रखती हूँ। | |
| ऑन्लाइन विकी कार्य | मैं एक लंबे समय से विकिमीडियन हूँ और मेरा ज्यादा ध्यान सामग्री निर्माण पर रहा है। मुझे संपादन करते हुए ११ वर्ष से अधिक समय हो गया है, मैंने अंग्रेजी विकिपीडिया (जहाँ मैंने एक फीचर्ड लेख लिखा था) में शुरू किया और फिर स्पेनिश विकिपीडिया में काम करना शुरू किया, जहाँ मैंने 14 फीचर्ड लेखों में महत्वपूर्ण योगदान दिया है। स्पेनिश विकिपीडिया पर मैं एक प्रबंधक हूँ और २००७ के बाद से प्रशासक हूँ।
मैं कॉमन्स और विकिडाटा में भी योगदान देती हूँ। मैं वर्तमान में #100wikidays चुनौती कर रही हूँ - जो अभी तक अच्छी चल रही है। मैं एक सक्रिय संग्रह बॉट, RaystormBot, भी चलाती हूँ। I have been part of multiple project initiatives – I founded the successful Spanish LGBT Wikiproject and have coordinated and organised several editing contests, such as UN Women and Wikipedia, Iberoamerican women and BBC 100 Women. My commitment is to help underrepresented voices be present in our projects and considered at the Board level, and I work for that every day. | |
| आफलाइन विकी कार्य | I’m the Vice Chair of the Wikimedia Foundation Board. I rejoined it at arguably its lowest point early last year, and worked with the other trustees to improve the situation. Since then, we’ve appointed a new ED, initiated the Movement Strategy process, worked on increasing transparency, made anti-harassment a priority, and approved the environmental impact resolution. The Board is in much better shape now. There’s still work to do, but we’re on the path to living up to expectations. I believe in cooperation, listening and including all points of view, understanding the root problems and finding common ground to move forward. The diversity of our movement is important to me, and I‘ve always worked in that direction. Before joining the Board, I was a member and first Treasurer of the Affiliations Committee, when we introduced user groups. I was also a member of the IEG committee, and I support Iberocoop since its creation. मैं विकिमीडिया स्पेन की एक संस्थापक सदस्य और पहली उप चेयर थी। मैंने विकीमुखेरेस की सह-स्थापना की और इसे सलाह देती हूँ। मैं Whose Knowledge? को भी सलाह देती हूँ। मै मैड्रिड के इवेंट्स के साथ नियमित रूप से मदद करती हूँ। I teach at the Digital Communications, Culture and Citizenship Master’s degree at a Spanish University. | |

| अभिव्यक्ति | The Foundation needs a Board that is transparent, honest, and open, in order to gain credibility from the company's prime asset, the editors. I am running for attaining these values and will stand by them. I have the competence to do the work, and I am ready to be held accountable. | |
| ऑन्लाइन विकी कार्य | I have been editing Namibian articles for a number of years now. While my edit count (roughly 17K across all projects) is low compared to other candidates, please consult the results. I believe I have made a positive change in the coverage of Namibian politics, geography, and history. I am probably best known for the Oral citations experiment, a controversial effort to convince fellow editors to allow citations to oral sources in order to accommodate the requirements of societies whose main mode of knowledge transfer is oral. I have met every regular Namibian editor in person and have been to the first-ever meetups of Namibian Wikipedians. Unfortunately we fit on a single table, a sign of how difficult it is to popularise Wikimedia projects in Southern Africa. This is despite all the workshops and university assignments that I have organised, and despite the support from outside institutions. See the Signpost of December 2016 for some reflections of the difficulties. | |
| आफलाइन विकी कार्य | I have given talks on several conferences, attended Wikimania (4x) and WikiIndaba (2x), and organised an editathon and several outreach activities. I have also published academically about Wikipedia, its role for human knowledge, its approach to written and oral knowledge repositories, its conflict-laden relationship with indigenous knowledge and the communities that harbour it, and many other aspects. For three of my research projects I have received grants from the Foundation, and I have written on the WMF Global Blog as well as for the Signpost. My user page contains a rather long list of events where I have been involved, and links to videos, slide shows, and web pages showcasing my work. I teach computer networking at the Namibia University of Science and Technology and have been in various managerial positions of my university for almost a decade. From that exposure I draw the experience of
abilities that I am willing to lend to the Board of Trustees, should you have confidence in me. | |

| अभिव्यक्ति | Content and community made Wikipedia succeed, but neither should be taken for granted. A happy community needs better ways to interact, manage, and create. Good content must engage readers, be interactive and easy to understand. My technical & community work will aid board effectiveness/focus | |
| ऑन्लाइन विकी कार्य | I have been contributing to MediaWiki as a volunteer developer for many years, initially creating the MediaWiki API in 2006. Until recently, I also worked at WMF for four years, leading Wikipedia Zero and Interactive engineering efforts. I am one of the top five MediaWiki code contributors. At WMF, I worked on adding interactive maps to articles, and collaborated with many Wikipedia and Wikivoyage language communities to improve the new technology. As a volunteer, I created the Signpost-featured <graph> tag (GSP example, night sky, graph template collection). I also created Commons Datasets, allowing wikis to reuse content beyond images, and paving the way to shared multilingual templates. I feel the wikiverse has become complacent with our success, and needs to focus to continue improving. Just like hands-on museums, our content needs to be captivating, full of interactive multimedia, and focused on learning. I believe Wikipedia content is too "static", and often does not tell an engaging story. Readers need to interact in order to learn better. Editors need good tools to create and mange content, and to easily cooperate with each other. Let's put editors’ needs first, concentrate on wishlists, and don’t try to replace editors with algorithms. | |
| आफलाइन विकी कार्य | I regularly attend and present at Wikimedia and OSM community events including Wikimania, the developer's conferences (hackathons), and the local meetups where I live in New York City. I have presented at numerous Wiki-related as well as general educational learning conferences in Armenia, Ukraine, Russia, and USA. I strive to educate people about the values Wikipedia represents, the way it functions, and the value it brings to the world. Outside of the Wikiverse, I used to work as a CTO of an investment firm, tech-consulted several banks, went to Burning Man for many years, and hosted couchsurfers. I enjoy hiking, camping, campfires with guitars, as well as the city life. Recently I joined Elastic, the developer of the open source technology behind Wikipedia search. There, I continue improving the cartography tech built for Wikipedia. My wife encourages my wiki habit, but with the exception of special events, I try to keep my work/volunteer/family time balance in place. | |

| अभिव्यक्ति | More than 10 years since the Wikimedia movement began. But, alas ... the particular aspects of the (black) African and other Southern country communities are often ignored during Wikimedia decision making on its strategies It is a real handicap that will not allow the movement to reach its ultimate goal... | |
| ऑन्लाइन विकी कार्य | As a little bit of everyone, I started contributing to Wikipedia on different IP addresses since 2008. My contributions were not punctual. Since 2015, I actively collaborate on Wikipedia in French coupled with Commons. My contributions do not end there. I also contribute on Wikipedia in English, in Lingala (national language in DR Congo), on meta-wiki, etc.
मेरे पास कंप्यूटर की पृष्ठभूमि है लेकिन मैं उसके बारे में मैं अनिश्चित हूँ। Sometimes I work on welcoming newcomers (oh, as I like helping them to taking their first steps!) or on translation projects (mainly English, French and Lingala). The projects of improvement of the encyclopedia interest me particularly; So I give my time to deseckings, re-readings, addition of infobox, etc. I also do patrol to see what has changed in the encyclopedia since my last connection. और अफ्रीका से संबंधित विभिन्न परियोजनाओं से भी जुड़ा हुआ हूँ: अफ्रिपिडिया, विकी इंडाबा, किविक्स, आदि। | |
| आफलाइन विकी कार्य | As a teacher, I teach to my students an introduction to Wikipedia. I take my time to educate people about this encyclopedia, to answer questions (sometimes difficult even as is Wikipedia reliable), to convice them about the potential that Wikipedia and its sister projects abound.
Living in a country where people have difficult access to the Internet, I work actively so that everyone has access to Wikipedia via Kiwix software. And since 2015, most of my students and others are using this software and are very satisfied with it. I think about how to allow the majority of disadvantaged populations to have access to Wikipedia. I'm wondering if it is a good idea to join the project of FaceBook of free Internet in Africa. Other projects I planning are to encourage Africans in general and Congolese in particular to translate Wikipedia in their local languages, to upload their patrimonies on Commons, etc. | |
