Завтра постараюсь перевести на русский и татарский текст https://blog.wikimedia.org/2018/07/26/farkhad-fatkullin-wikimedian-of-the-ye...
Есть задумка использовать пас Джимми также и для того, чтобы помочь коллегам в Турции (и имеющаяся огневая поддержка крупнокалиберных «RT на русском» и «Российской Газеты» плюс татарстанских телеканалов нам в помощь). Турецкие коллеги письменно попросили о помощи, коммуникационный отдел Фонда Викимедиа идею поддержал.
Далее переписка со специалистом Фонда и подтверждение коллег, что они уже переводят запись в блоге на турецкий (чтобы задать контекст для дальнейших манёвров)
с уважением, фархад

Kodus to both you and Basak. Indeed, these translations are helpful and publications about Wikipedia in Turkish could have a good impact!

Dear Samir,
I will provide you with Tatar and Russian tomorrow. Thus three of my languages (English included) would be enough, unless my dear friend User:Basak of Turkey will find a version in my beloved Turkish would be of help in to pull through what we are colluding in separately.
FYI: Some experiences I described below help me to use media fallout caused by Jimmy's surprise pass (announcing me as the Wikimedian of the Year) to transform Russia's citizens' perception of Wikipedia and contributing thereto - one of the interviews I gave in Russian now has over a million likes on Facebook, and the journalist and this Federal Media Company leadership agreed to publish one-two more articles about how Russia's various Turkic minorities are benefiting from Wikipedia. Basak & I are conspiring to use Jimmy's pass to score some points not in Turkey as well.
regards, Farhad

Farkhad, do you want to get the post translated to Tatar? We would love to publish it in your language if that's possible.

Samir,
It's been two days since I was announced Wikimedian of the Year & frankly I can only guess what that really means. I didn't even have time to look it up yet, being torn apart between intensive work & all the media attention, getting to do only minimal daily Wiki-involvement functions (Potd, Motd & Calendar on the Main Page), things around the house & family responsibilities, and thus not much sleep.
I guess I'll start reading things tomorrow or Thursday, as I'm being flooded with questions from TV, newspapers, radio, both local and national, got even invited to the formal meeting @ the regional government, as well as to attend an international youth educational forum as one of the speakers at the panel with Republic of Tatarstan President (my home region, the only one to have its governor keeping the title of the President). My wife told me she was also flooded by more TV & other interview requests from all over.
I wonder if you can give me a few lines explaining your interest in developing Wikimedia communities and your story with the movement in general, like when you started, what challenges have you met and what motivates you to keep contributing, or any other thoughts that you would like to share with the blog audience. > > It doesn't need to be a long essay. A few lines can do the job. I will use some parts of what you share with me as quotes in my post.
I am a professional conference interpreter & I discovered and started to appreciate Wiki thanks to its interlanguage links (a quick way to get the proper term for a concept used by native speakers of the language).
I discovered Tatar Wikipedia as an interested read & thus helpful tool in keeping & improving own language skill in my mother tongue, because I'm not consuming much neither written news, pop music nor TV & we don't have a purely news/talk radio which I could enjoy listening to. For many years I benefited from U.S. Congress funded Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty's Tatar-Bashkir Service, but once (when listening to it from U.S. in early 2008) I realized political bias and skewed topic selection in their programming & articles, so we parted & I started looking for another medium to help me keep & improve my Tatar.
My first edits were around Christmas time back in 2009 (I played with it for about two weeks), coming back for good in February/March of 2012. I felt in love with Tatar Wikipedia (which is still predominantly underdevelopped, despite all the progress since then) because of the diversity of topics that I could read about. That was something fresh & exciting.
My infrastructural work in Tatar Wikipedia (translating guidelines, help pages, etc.) started in 2014 when I started being persecuted by our Bureaucrat who was confident that Wikimedia founding principles & Five Pillars do not apply to Tatar Wikipedia, and the project is a place for pure Tatar ethnic POV. In early 2015, serving my longest (month long) ban from ttWP I started translating on Meta, & with a help of a self-exiled Russian Metapedian there (Paul Kaganer, Member of Wikimedia Russia volunteers) discovered out Wikimedia Russia community & their events.
My main work since then is around supporting https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedias_in_the_languages_of_Russia%C2%A0 community, which became real for me at 2015 Wiki-Sabantuy conference in the city of Ufa, capital of neighboring Republic of Bashkortostan. https://ru.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D0%92%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B8-%D0%A1%D...
Since then we started penetrating into Wikimedia Russia mailing list, then made WMRU-wiki multilingual, also created a Russian-speaking Wikimedia Languages of Russia Community Facebook group, where we re-post news from our separate specific language-oriented groups (in Russian or accompanied with a translation into this ex-Soviet Union & Warsaw Pact Countries Wide regional lingua-franca), as well as those I find and translate from Wikimedia sources in English, French, Turkish, Italian & some others which I also manage to understand. Somewhere along the way Russian Wikinews is helping us with giving us a chance to publish bi-tri-& multilingual news articles in their space as well.
Sometime before attending 2017 Wikimania @ Montreal, we thought that a reverse interaction could also be benefitial (actually encouraged by Amir Aharoni, who reads Wikimedia Russia mailing list), which is why some started to notice my posts about what Russia's multilingual Wikimedia Community is doing @ Wikipedia Weekly and other places, as well as in some lists.
Our next undertaking is to set up a https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Languages_of_Russia_Community_User... brewing on format specifics), Wikimedia Russia's local legal status related requirements make membership very challenging & because language-specific, especially minority language, needs are very different than tasks dealt with by a national chapter.
I dearly love all the languages I speak & I learned to cherish those I don't, so main motivating factor for my continuing participation in the Wiki-movement is the preserving the cultural heritage, created by innumerous generations of human beings, which is documented in languages - themselves the product of human emotions, feelings, experiences, thought... In this sense, https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Indigenous_Languages%C2%A0is something I am very proud of and I would love to find a way to help all the mentioned communities to have thriving on & off Wiki linguistic environment & growing repository of free knowledge that can be shared and collectively experienced globally.
Since being invited to join Wikimedia Russia volunteers organization, I am trying to help my colleagues to communicate to the Russian Federation citizens the fact that Wiki is written by volunteers, that volunteering can be fun and useful, both on the personal and wider online & offline community level.
As for Tatar Wikipedia, our beloved bureaucrat is silent for almost a year now, the only active admin is cooperating with requests to make neutral edits to protected pages, & for quite a while now we are experiencing a steadily growing community, partly because of Selet WikiSchool project we run with Tatarstan's Youth Educational movement for close to two years now https://ru.wikimedia.org/wiki/Selet_WikiSchool
Attending Wikimania 2017 was very convenient (mid-August) & useful for me to the point, that I thought of not coming back (and encouraging others to apply for limited available scholarships) at least until I get the majority of homework I took from there done at the appropriate level https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Frhdkazan/Wikimania2017#To_do_list
Stockholm is in August, plus I now seem to have to follow in Felix's footsteps of serving as Wikimedia Goodwill Ambassador for the coming year & try to make a proper address worthy of the place our Swedish colleagues hinted us could be hosting the event...

Thanks for your response, Farhad! Today is fine for a turnaround.
I feel sorry that we haven't had the chance to feature your great efforts on the blog before. Better late than never, right? And this time you're not only being featured as a prolific contributor. YOU ARE THE WIKIPEDIAN OF THE YEAR!! :D :D
