Greetings,
I am happy to announce the Featured Wikimedian of the Month for June 2018, User:Nizil Shah
from Gujarat.
Nizil started editing in 2008, his first article
on English Wikipedia
was deleted. In 2012 when he could not find an article on a topic related to the history
of Gujarat, he decided to write about it himself. Being an avid reader, he observed that
Indian topics are lacking in coverage on English Wikipedia. So he kept writing about
topics related to Gujarat such as history, language, literature, culture, people,
politics, geography, archaeology and many more. With more than 34000 edits and 400+
articles, he is now among the top 2500 English Wikipedians. He also contributes to
Gujarati Wikipedia, Gujarati Wikisource, English Wiktionary, Hindi Wikipedia and English
Wikivoyage. He has uploaded and curated more than 500 images on Commons. He considers
mentoring of a few Wikimedians is his best contribution to the Wikimedia movement.He sees
lots of potential in the Wikidata and has been its contributor since its inception. He
briefly served as an administrator there and has now 39000+ edits. He believes that it
will be the central data repository of the internet with its effects going very far. He
wants to revive Gujarati Wiktionary through upcoming Lexicographic Data on Wikidata.Though
by profession he is a dentist, he rarely contributes to the health-related subjects. He
now wants to expand his contributions to dental and other health topics on English and
Gujarati Wikipedias. He considers the lack of good resources in Indian languages and on
Indian topics is a challenge and he is working to improve the situation with help of
fellow Gujarati editors. He says; One edit is too many and thousand is never enough.
Regards,Krishna Chaitanya VelagaWikimedia India
