Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] [Featured Wikimedian] June 2018
To: Wikimedia India Community list <wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
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 Velaga
