I wholeheartedly join this well-deserved tribute to one of the most
passionate, affable, active, and competent Wikipedians in the pursuit of
free and universal knowledge I know, whom I had the great pleasure of
meeting in person a few weeks ago.
A big hug to Alberto, and thank you very much!

Dear all,
Wikimedia projects would not be possible without the work of the countless
volunteers, passionately working on bringing free knowledge to the world.
Through the year we WikiCelebrate
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communications/WikiCelebrate> different
volunteers and their amazing work. [1]
This time we celebrate Alberto Leoncio, a Wikimedian who likes to work on
the backstage of the Portuguese Wikimedia projects. There are many reasons
to celebrate Alberto, nowadays he manages bots, scripts, filters,
templates and modules. He helps beginners to understand Wikipedia rules and
policies, and engages in administrative work: protecting pages, and
blocking vandals. “I wish whoever reads Wikipedia understands that it is
not just a website to look for information, that Wikipedia is just one
aspect of something much bigger, that there are several editors behind a
single article, that there is a community behind each Wikipedia and that it
goes much beyond that, with many projects in the wiki movement created by
volunteers for free knowledge.” - he says. Visit WikiCelebrate

Each month we will celebrate a different Wikimedian, acknowledging the
great people that have contributed so much to bringing us to where we are
today, and continue to do so. We warmly invite you to write about the
people celebrated each month. If you know them, share some wiki love. If
there’s an outstanding Wikimedian that you think should be celebrated, recommend
them <https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/WikiCelebrate>.[4]
Happy celebrating
Giyu, Natalia and Mehrdad
