It's always great to see a silent online contributor get recognition.
Wikimedia projects are largely built by them, who wants to remain behind
the scenes.
Thanks WMIN for recognizing and featuring them.

Dear Community
In the past recent years , we have been continuously featuring known
Wikimedians on our platform.
But this time , we have come across a contributor who we feel that if we
don't highlight his work, it will be an injustice to his contributions.
Keeping his request in mind, we have decided not to reveal his name or
photo. The only thing which we can reveal is his Username
*User:SM7*
User:SM7
<https://bh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%AA%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%AF%E0%A5%8B%E0%A4%97%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A4%E0%A4%BE:SM7>,
the silent *anonymous* poster boy for Bhojpuri and Hindi Wikipedia has
been working since 2011 with over 59,000 global edits
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/SM7> without any
recognition. He would have continued to be an unsung hero with his awesome
work for the flourishment of Wikipedia for no one knows how long, if we
would not have discovered his work recently. He is a sysop on Hindi and
Bhojpuri Wikipedia where he is continuously working to bring new
contributors and quality contents. User:SM7 is a teacher by profession
based somewhere in Uttar Pradesh. Writing on region and geographical
features are one of the favourite topics of User:SM7.
User:SM7 came to know about Wikipedia while searching something on Google,
it was then he noticed that there is a link to Bhojpuri Wikipedia on the
sidebar of the article page he was looking at on English Wikipedia. Like
others, he was excited when he found Wikipedia on his native language and
started contributing to it by creating & improving articles. Although he
invests a lot of time for the growth of Wikipedia, he always prefers to
stay anonymous, he says, "I wanted to be judged only by my contributions on
wiki and the way I take part in discussions etc. NOT by information based
on what I do in real life, or where I live, or what my educational
qualifications are."
