Greetings,
I am happy to announce the
Featured Wikimedian of the Month for June 2018,
User:Nizil Shah from Gujarat.
Nizil started editing in 2008, his first article
on English Wikipedia
was deleted. In 2012 when he could not find an article on a topic related
to the history of Gujarat, he decided to write about it himself. Being an
avid reader, he observed that Indian topics are lacking in coverage on
English Wikipedia. So he kept writing about topics related to Gujarat such
as history, language, literature, culture, people, politics, geography,
archaeology and many more. With more than 34000 edits and 400+ articles, he
is now among the top 2500 English Wikipedians. He also contributes to
Gujarati Wikipedia, Gujarati Wikisource, English Wiktionary, Hindi
Wikipedia and English Wikivoyage. He has uploaded and curated more than 500
images on Commons. He considers mentoring of a few Wikimedians is his best
contribution to the Wikimedia movement.He sees lots of potential in the
Wikidata and has been its contributor since its inception. He briefly
served as an administrator there and has now 39000+ edits. He believes that
it will be the central data repository of the internet with its effects
going very far. He wants to revive Gujarati Wiktionary through upcoming
Lexicographic Data on Wikidata.Though by profession he is a dentist, he
rarely contributes to the health-related subjects. He now wants to expand
his contributions to dental and other health topics on English and Gujarati
Wikipedias. He considers the lack of good resources in Indian languages and
on Indian topics is a challenge and he is working to improve the situation
with help of fellow Gujarati editors. He says; One edit is too many and
thousand is never enough.
Regards,Krishna Chaitanya VelagaWikimedia India
