I think the videos are a great idea I did one back in 2012 in Washington, I think that its important for our stories to be captured by the WMF so that people can understand some of the people behind making Wikipedia. Our history and our people are as important as those that we are sharing
Please get behind Victor and make this happen, I'd offer to do another but I wont be in Montreal

Hi,
I don't think this is an appropriate topic ('paid editor') for wikimania-l, in a thread for 'personal stories about Wikimedia / free portrait photos'.
Thanks.

What would you consider a significant percentage?

For what it's worth, I agree with Kudpung that WMF should stop saying that "All of the articles on Wikipedia are written by volunteers". I doubt that anyone has reliable statistics on what percentages of articles are started and/or edited by individuals who likely benefit financially from their edits in one way or another, but the percentage on English Wikipedia is likely to be significant.

You’ll need to correct that for your next video - if you knew the extent of paid editing, blackmail, and extortion we are discovering and trying to combat you’d fall off your chair or drop your camera.

Hello Wikimedians!
My name is Victor Grigas, I’m a storyteller and video producer https://www.youtube.com/user/WikimediaFoundation/videos at the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit that supports Wikipedia. Many of you may already know me or my work. I'll be in Montreal at Wikimania from Thursday August 10th through Sunday August 13th and wanted to ask that if you *know someone *or *are someone* who has an inspiring story to share about how you use Wikimedia projects, then we'd like to hear it!
If you are interested, please answer a few questions on this private Google form or share it with someone you know who will be attending Wikimania:

(All answers are confidential and we will not publish your story without first getting your written permission.)
We publish profiles of Wikimedians here regularly: https://blog.wikimedia.org/c/communications/profiles/
Then, in Montreal I can take your portrait photo https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:VGrigas_%28WMF%29#A_few_Wikipedians for free to publish on Wikimedia Commons. I’ll be there from Thursday August 10th through Sunday August 13th. I’ll only need a few minutes of your time to take your photo and we can co-ordinate by email. Once I'm there, I'll have a better idea of where I'll be for the best lighting setup.
If you have any questions, feel free to email Victor Grigas - vgrigas@wikimedia.org
Thank you!
