Hi all,
Wikimedia projects would not be possible without the work of the countless volunteers,
passionately working on bringing free knowledge to the world. This month we Wikicelebrate
one of such volunteers: Donatien Kangah (User:Papischou), a Wikimedian from Côte
d'Ivoire, editor of French language Wikipedia, a community leader active on local,
regional, and global levels, a huge football fan, and the co-creator of the Wikimedia
Community User Group Côte d'Ivoire.
Donatien is an experienced Wikipedia trainer, and a member of Wikifranca micro grant
committee. He supported Wikimania through his activity in the scholarship committee,
worked in the capacity building group for Movement Strategy and collaborated with
communities from Senegal, Togo, Chad and Guinea. Most of his engagement is connected to
the Community User Group Côte d'Ivoire, which he co-founded and which he now leads.
For Donatien the value of editing lies in learning through sharing. “Each act of sharing
knowledge in Wikipedia is about checking sources, discovering new facts. Even if I already
know a lot about the topic, I discover new facts in sources. It is like swimming in
information. Sharing knowledge is not a passive process, it is a constant discovery.
Through contributing I have learned a lot about my country, Africa and the world. Editing
allows you to grow through giving”, says Donatien.
Learn more about Donatien, and his amazing work on Diff or on Meta.
Each month we WikiCelebrate a different Wikimedian, acknowledging the amazing community,
the pillars of our movement. We warmly invite you to participate in the celebrations. If
there’s an outstanding Wikimedian that you think should be celebrated, recommend them.
Happy Celebrating,
Mahuton, Mehrdad and Natalia
