| Pourquoi vous présentez-vous au conseil d'administration de la Fondation Wikimédia ? Quelle serait votre contribution ? Qu'aimeriez-vous apprendre davantage ? | Je me présente au conseil d'administration car j'aimerais être plus pratique dans ma contribution à la connaissance libre. Jusqu'à présent, j'ai contribué aux projets Wikimédia, mais le fait d'être élu au conseil d'administration de Wikimédia me permettra de faire plus que de l'édition, je serai en mesure de proposer des solutions et d'aider directement la Fondation.
De plus, je suis une personne enthousiaste qui donne le meilleur d'elle-même dans tout ce qu'elle fait. J'apporterai mon énergie au conseil d'administration, qui est très contagieuse, bien sûr ! | |
| Veuillez décrire votre expérience wikimédienne (contributions aux projets Wikimédia, adhésion à des organisations Wikimédia ou à des affiliés, activités dans le cadre de l'organisation du mouvement Wikimédia ou participation à une organisation alliée au mouvement Wikimédia). | Je suis un éditeur actif de Wikipédia avec 2660 modifications et 101 articles sur Wikipédia en anglais.
J'ai mené le projet "Wikimedia Promotion in Akure" en 2023 dans mon État, l'État d'Ondo, au Nigéria, et le projet visait à faire connaître Wikipédia et son projet jumeau à Akure. À la fin du projet, qui a duré un mois, le groupe d'éditeurs Wikimedia d'Akure a été créé avec 110 éditeurs et 510 articles améliorés. Lien pour montrer l'impact de la promotion de Wikimedia à Akure : Promotion de Wikimedia à Akure En outre, il y a sept mois, j'ai été dans l’équipe organisatrice du projet "WikiClimate Campus Tour Nigeria", un projet de sensibilisation aux questions climatiques et environnementales impliquant six institutions au Nigeria. À la fin du projet, 324 rédacteurs ont été recrutés, 1907 articles de Wikipédia ont été modifiés et 209 éléments de Wikidata ont été créés.

| Selon vous, quelles devraient être les priorités de la Fondation Wikimedia pour les 5 à 10 prochaines années, et pourquoi ces priorités vous semblent-elles les plus pertinentes ? | La fondation Wikimédia devrait donner la priorité aux contributions à d'autres projets apparentés à Wikipédia qui ne sont pas très fonctionnels, tels que Wiki Functions et Wikispecies. En effet, l'accent a toujours été mis sur Wikipédia et il est grand temps de faire tourner le monde et de remplir sa mission : "donner aux gens du monde entier les moyens de collecter et de développer des contenus éducatifs sous licence libre ou dans le domaine public, et de les diffuser efficacement à l'échelle mondiale". | |
| Optional questions - Professional Experience, Skills and Education | ||
| Please describe your experience with governing bodies of organizations (nonprofit or for-profit), mentioning the scope of your responsibilities, as well as the complexity of the organization (in terms of scale of operations, budget, number of people involved, or other meaningful measures) and the size of the board or body. | I am the first female President of an indigenous association; National Association of Ondo State students, (NAOSS) Unilorin Chapter a small scale association with less than 300 members where I direct the activities of the members, seek for donations and ensure peace among the members. | |
| Please describe your professional career experience. | I am the CEO of Mira Sight Foundation founded in 2022, an NGO focused on prevention of blindness and creating awareness about eye. The foundation has about 4 board members who chaired her activities. My role as the founder and CEO is to oversee the activities of the Foundation, last year through donation, I was able to secure free eye screening and free drugs as well as glasses for about 500 students and staffs of a public school. | |
| Please briefly describe 3 situations that show how you tackled, or advised others on, a complex problem in an organization. How did you work with others to address the situations? | 1. This made me remember how I transform the abandoned toilet at my physical store to a usable one by simply getting a cheap door lock while speaking to few other vendors who contributed money to clean up the place.
Nobody appointed me the Health Manager of my store, nor was I place in charge of the place officially, however. I took it upon myself to see to the cleanliness of the place. 2. I was able to stay calm when the card of the association I lead was stucked in the ATM during an event. | |
| Please describe your educational background, including degrees, certificates, and courses of study finished, and their relevance to board work. | I have a college certificate with credit in 9 courses.
I am an optometrist In view in the University of Ilorin, Nigeria with just few month to my induction and board exam. I am currently working on a project to shows the relationship between myopia, a refractive error and intraocular pressure of the eye. I have certificate in grant writing and software development. Also, I recently earned the Wikimedia Foundation badge for completing the Boad of trustees pre-boarding training on Wikilearn. All these will be useful in working as a board of trustee of wikimedia foundation | |
| Please add any relevant links describing your professional background, experience, profile (such as LinkedIn, staff page, etc.). | www.linkedin.com/in/tesleemah-abdulkareem | |
| Optional questions - Leadership Experience | ||
| Please describe ways in which you have helped to form a bridge between multiple communities (such as by working on projects outside your home wiki, or working on a collaboration between multiple affiliates). | I have bridged gap between multiple communities within wikimedia foundation by organizing events on the English Wikipedia such as the 'Wikimedia Awareness in Akure', the most recent of such bridge is the event I am currently championing 'Wiki And Health articles in Nigeria' for medical editors in Nigeria and collaboration with Wiki Project Medicine where the chair, Dr James Heilman is an advisor. | |
| Can you describe a policy, on wiki or off, that you helped to create or change? What did you learn from this experience? | One policy I once incorporated was during an edit-a-thon, myself and three other wikimedia editors set up a WhatsApp platform where we discussed how the organizers will release the gift for winners. While I chaired the committee, we concluded on how best to approach the person in charge and it was productive at the end of the day with the gifts released to the winners.
What I gave learnt from the experience is to work collectively with others to fight for good cause. | |
| How have you been able to empower people to make their voices heard? | I have actively involved members of my community in Nigeria when organising events. Recently, I led a project, Wiki and Health articles in Nigeria, a project that brought medical professionals into limelight and they were recruited to edit medical contents on wiki projects. Also, I share links to resources as well as trainings. One of the notable one was Organizer lab, after I finished with the cohort 1.even though, only few were selected for the second cohort. I'm glad the members in my community gave it their best shot. | |
| Sometimes in professional situations, there are personality conflicts. Explain how you remain productive even with personality conflicts. | I'm the strict to business type, even if you are not the best person in term of the way you relate with others. I focus on how jobs can be done without issues hence I focus on the good sides of others, this make it easy to overlook the flaws of others.
In summary, I remain productive in case of personality conflicts in a professional settings by figuring out the best in others and keeping my emotions in check. | |
| Optional questions - Strategic Thinking | ||
| Where do you see the need for greater diversity in the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees or within the movement? What steps would you take to improve diversity on the Board or within the movement? What steps would you recommend the Board take to improve diversity? | Going through the list of past and present, I do not noticed board of trustees from Africa or Nigeria at large however I'm not sure this is the foundation's fault as election of board of trustees as always been thrown open however this could be due to lack of information due to underrepresentation of the black continent.
This is why I'm presenting myself to elected as a board member. | |
