Dear Wikimedian in Residence community,
I am pleased to introduce "Wikipedia on Aruba | Aruba on Wikipedia
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_on_Aruba>," a pilot project
aimed at enriching Wikipedia with knowledge about Aruba’s local heritage,
history, and its connections to other islands within the Kingdom of the
Netherlands.
As the Wikimedian in Residence for Aruba, I am working alongside a
dedicated team, including my colleagues Ricardo
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Rarends297> and Michelle
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:MichellevanLanschot> from Wikimedia
Netherland <https://www.wikimedia.nl/>. Together, we are collaborating with
local partners, heritage institutions, archives, libraries, and the
community to bring more visibility to Aruba on Wikipedia. As a community we
have a lot of inspirational stories to share.
We invite you to follow our journey and would love to learn more about your
experiences as Wikimedians in Residence. Looking forward to connecting and
exchanging ideas!
Best regards,
Ginelly Quandt
