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 <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communications/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 <https://diff.wikimedia.org/2024/02/23/donatien-bridging-wikipedias-goalposts-and-community-empowerment/> or on Meta <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Papischou>. 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 <https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/WikiCelebrate>them. Happy Celebrating, Mahuton, Mehrdad and Natalia _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list -- wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l Public archives at https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org… To unsubscribe send an email to wikimedia-l-leave(a)lists.wikimedia.org

A big congratulations to my very good friend and brother. This is long-awaited, and I am glad you got it. The result of your work in the movement speaks for itself. Again, this is a double congratulations. As a football fan that I am, I don't agree that the Nations Cup should go to the Ivory Coast because we were better on the day than your team. Nevertheless, it's a big win for you and your country. Remember, to whom much is given, much is expected. More WINS!
