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.

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
