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(a)wikimedia.org
Thank you!
