Kominikasyon/Wikicelebrate
Mouvman Wikimedia egziste gras ak kontribisyon anpil volontè ak lòt Wikimedyen atravè mond lan, moun ki soti nan divès orijin ak eksperyans lavi ki kontribye nan sòm tout konesans moun yo. Gwo enpòtans kolaborasyon mondyal sa a deranje pifò deyò mouvman nou an. Anpil editè gen lontan y ap kontribye pou kont yo san gwo rekonesans, epi renmen li konsa. Pou lòt moun, lanmou ak rekonesans nan men kanmarad yo ka ankouraje yo anpil ak leve yo anlè. Nou la pou selebre moun san parèy nan Wikimedya yo, poto mitan mouvman nou yo, moso nan linivè konesans nou an ki toujou elaji.
Selebre Wikimedyen yo
Barnstars yo se yon fason ki apresye anpil pou eksprime rekonesans youn pou lòt nan mouvman an, men souvan san twò atansyon piblik la. Nou pa manke kontribitè etonan pou selebre epi n ap dedye espas sa a ba yo. WikiCelebrate se yon fason fasil, kolaborasyon pou mete aksan sou Wikimedyen yo ak travay etonan yo pandan tout ane a. Chak mwa nou pral selebre yon Wikimedyen diferan epi nou envite w ede nou nan selebre yo plis! Si w konnen yo, pataje yon gwo istwa sou travay ou avèk yo. Si gen lòt nou ta dwe selebre, tanpri nonmen yo. Anplis lanmou w ak rekonesans ou, sètènman, Wikimedyen ki selebre yo pral resevwa yon barnstar edisyon limite, yon ti kado, ak piblikasyon sou Diff ak rezo sosyal yo.
Nou planifye pou prezante Wikimedyen ane yo nan espas sa a tou epi yo pral pi devan kreye yon paj "in memoriam" pou rann omaj ak zanmi epi kòlèg Wikimedyen ki pati kite nou yo.
Mea Hanohano
Mo 'wiki'a li nan fon rasin nou an. Nan Hawaiian li siyifi "rapid". Pou onore tèm ekselans sa a, nou ap rele seksyon sa a hanohano ki siyifi onè, distenksyon, ak prestij, epi ajoute mea pou kreye mea hanohano, sa vle di yon moun onorab. Se konsa, nou la pou n selebre onorab Wikimedyen ki gen pi gwo distenksyon ak prestij, Wikimedyen ki gen angajman ak kontribisyon eksepsyonèl.
Nan mwa sa a n ap selebre...
Ellie
Like many now-contributors, Ellie discovered the Wikimedia movement through participating in an outreach activity. It was 2019 and Ellie took part in an Art and Feminism workshop held in the Centro Cultural de España en El Salvador. This event, dedicated to enriching Spanish Language Wikipedia content related to notable women from El Salvador, taught Ellie how to make first steps in the Wikimedia world, create her own user page, look for sources, discuss with other editors, and (most importantly) add content to Wikipedia. For her, a professional journalist and communicator, this newly discovered wikiworld, focused on sharing information and storytelling, was fascinating from the very first moment.
She started making her first edits and thanks to Ellie, Spanish Wikipedia gained content about female athletes, like swimmer Aurora Chamorro or long distance runner, Vanessa Veiga. She also engaged in Wikimedia Commons, where you can find her uploads of exhibits from Museo de Artes y Tradiciones Populares de El Salvador, and on Wikidata.
“Maybe I see it as very long term, but the digital gap in El Salvador is still a challenge. I would like Wikimedia projects to be a space with academic information and scientific dissemination, a tool to enhance knowledge about El Salvador and the Latin American region.”, she says when asked about what keeps her going.
