communities within the Movement will always be remembered.”
Hello dear Wikimedians,
Wikimedia Tanzania
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Community_User_Group_Tanzania>
and Jenga Wikipedia ya Kiswahili
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Jenga_Wikipedia_ya_Kiswahili> User groups
are in particular, deeply saddened following the passing of our beloved
fellow Wikimedian *Ingo Koll (user: Kipala)*, who according to the
information shared by his wife with us, he has passed away on the 10th July
2023 at his house in his home country, Germany.
Ingo Koll was a German who happened to live in Tanzania and Kenya for many
years. Being a pastor and a lecturer, he learned Swahili and became one of
the super-active Swahili Wikipedia contributors and administrators. He was
a reliable cornerstone in the development of Swahili Wikipedia. He was a
knowledgeable person who collaborated closely with the Astronomy and Space
Science Association of Tanzania (ASSAT) to contribute much on Astronomy
topics in Swahili language on Swahili Wikipedia, was one of the great
mentors who helped the formation of Wikimedia Tanzania and also was a
co-founder of Jenga Wikipedia ya Kiswahili (Build Swahili Wikipedia).
Tanzanian and East African Wikimedians benefited much from his unwavering
support, leadership, mentorship, and coaching when it came to training them
on Wikimedia projects, especially about Wikipedia.
Wikimedia Tanzania, Jenga Wikipedia ya Kiswahili User Groups, and all other
Wikimedians who interacted with him within the Wikimedia Movement will
always remember his valuable contributions to the Movement.
May his soul rest in peace. Amen!
#RIP #INGOKOLL
