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!

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.

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.

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.

any other thoughts that you would like to share with the blog audience.

>>>> 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 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%…
>>>>
>>>> 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_Use… (still
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 is 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

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...
