Dear all
It gives me great pleasure to announce that the Featured Wikimedian of the month for February 2019 is User:Gazalworld. Please find a short brief about him below.
"Anant Rathod with User Name: Gazal world is an editor on Gujrati and English Wikimedia Projects. He was introduced to Wikimedia by his friend and an active editor on English Wikipedia User: Nizil Shah who helped him by providing step-by-step guidance on Wikimedia editing. Anant's favourite area of editing has been writing about Indian literature on English Wikipedia and vice-versa for Gujarati Wikipedia. On four different occasions, his work has been featured under Did You Know section on English Wikipedia. Anant's good quality contributions have helped him attain access rich scholarly and archive content like JSTOR, Oxford, Project MUSE, EPW, EBSCO, Edinburgh University Press, De Gruyter and Questia. Anant believes that pay-wall resources restrict a volunteer on improving quality content on Wikipedia. To overcome this, he has been working as a tireless volunteer on the resource desk on English Wikipedia and has helped in providing more than five hundred reference material to the volunteers. The most encouraging practice in this exercise has been visiting the physical library - Gujarat Vidyapith Library where he gets the books physically scanned and provides it to the needful.
Anant is associated with several literary associations and has also participated as a poet for Sahitya Akademi, New Delhi. Being a student of Chemistry, he stays in Ahmedabad in Gujarat."
If you know any Wikimedian whom you think should be featured, please feel free to nominate him/her on http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Featured_Wikimedian/Nominations Or feel free to contact me at yohannvt@wikimedia.in or Abhinav Srivastava at abhinav.srivastava@wikimedia.in.

Hello all,
Thanks Yohann for sharing this. Anant is an awesome contributor to Wikimedia projects, was helpful to many users at the resource exchange. I am so happy that he has been selected as the Featured Wikimedian.
On this occasion, I would like to share a latest update with all of you regarding Anant's work. He has been consistently working with the "Gujarat Vishw Kosh Trust" (http://vishwakosh.org/) for quite some time now. He previously convinced them to release 45 images under CC BY-SA 4.0. Most of them are of Gujarati authors. Last week OTRS received an email from its president that they've setup a Wikimedia user account, User:Gujarat Vishw Kosh Trust, and are willing to release all their works under CC BY-SA 4.0, uploaded from the account. Required details for verification have been provided in the email sent to OTRS, and this account is now verified and required pages were setup. Details about this can be found at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Gujarat_Vishw_Kosh_Trust.
I thank and congratulate Anant for this consistent efforts making this possible.
Regards, Krishna Chaitanya V.
