Dear all,

In person events are a great opportunity to meet, connect and learn from one another; they are also an amazing space to *Wikicelebrate https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation/Communications/WikiCelebrate*!

In May, we saw our community from ESEAP host the ESEAP Conference 2024 in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia under the theme of *Collaboration Beyond the Horizon*. And during that event, we also had a chance to celebrate a prolific administrator of Thai Wikimedia projects and a content contributor, whose work spans across Wikimedia content in Thai and beyond!

*B20180* is most active on Thai Wikipedia, where he has added 2,905 articles! He writes about different topics and you might stumble upon his articles while trying to learn about Swedish cuisine https://th.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%AB%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%B5%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%94%E0%B8%99?wprov=wppw2, shopping https://th.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B8%8A%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%9B%E0%B8%9B%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%87, a fighting video game from 1998 https://th.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B9%82%E0%B8%88%E0%B9%82%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%AA%E0%B9%8C%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%8B%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A3%E0%B9%8C%E0%B9%81%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%94%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%99%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A3%E0%B9%8C_%28%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%94%E0%B8%B5%E0%B9%82%E0%B8%AD%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%A1%29?wprov=wppw2, a female Estonian chess player https://th.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%AA%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%8B%E0%B8%B5%E0%B8%A2_%E0%B8%8B%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%8B%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%B2?wprov=wppw2, tourism in Uruguay https://th.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%97%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%87%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%B5%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%A2%E0%B8%A7%E0%B9%83%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%9B%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B0%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%A8%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%B8%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B8%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%A2 or the situation of women in Ukraine https://th.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B5%E0%B9%83%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%9B%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B0%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%A8%E0%B8%A2%E0%B8%B9%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%99.

More importantly, *B20180’s* contributions bring together both sides of a neverending dispute between cat people and dog people – as he wrote both about kittens https://th.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%B9%E0%B8%81%E0%B9%81%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%A7 AND dogs https://th.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B8%94%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%8A%E0%B9%8C%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%8A%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%9E%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%A3%E0%B9%8C%E0%B8%94?wprov=wppw2! :)

But for *B20180* the Wikiworld doesn’t limit to Wikipedia: he is also an admin in all other Thai Wikimedia projects, and contributes to Commons and Wikidata.

Thank you for all your work B20180, we are happy to add a Wikicelebrate barnstar to your long collection of barnstars. And thank you ESEAP conference organizers for Wikicelebrating with us!

Happy celebrating!
