| Pertanyaan wajib | ||
| Mengapa Anda ingin menjadi bagian dari Dewan Pengawas, Yayasan Wikimedia? Sumbangsih apa yang akan Anda lakukan? Hal apa saja yang ingin Anda pelajari lebih lanjut? | Saya mencalonkan diri sebagai Dewan Pengawas karena ingin lebih merasa berguna dalam memberikan sumbangsih saya ini terhadap pengetahuan bebas. Sebelumnya, saya juga telah berkontribusi untuk proyek Wikimedia. Akan tetapi, jika terpilih sebagai salah satu Dewan Pengawas Wikimedia, maka saya akan lebih mudah melakukan sumbangsih lain dan tidak hanya sekadar suntingan semata. Saya akan dapat menawarkan solusi dan membantu Yayasan Wikimedia secara langsung.
Selain itu, saya juga sosok yang antusias dan siap melakukan yang terbaik untuk hal apa pun yang saya lakukan. Saya akan membawa rasa semangat ke Dewan Pengawas dan saya harap bisa menularkan semangat itu! | |
| Mohon uraikan pengalaman ke-Wikimedia-an Anda, misalnya sumbangsih pada proyek Wikimedia, keanggotaan dalam organisasi mitra lokal Wikimedia, kegiatan yang dilakukan sebagai penyelenggara kegiatan di Wikimedia, atau keikutsertaan pada organisasi sekutu Gerakan Wikimedia. | Saya adalah editor Wikipedia aktif dengan 2.660 suntingan dan 101 artikel di Wikipedia bahasa Inggris.
Pada tahun 2023, saya memimpin proyek "Promosi Wikimedia di Akure" di negara bagian Ondo, Nigeria. Proyek tersebut bertujuan untuk menciptakan kesadaran tentang Wikipedia dan proyek saudarinya di Akure. Pada akhir proyek yang berlangsung selama satu bulan ini, kelompok Editor Wikimedia di Akure didirikan dengan total 110 editor dan konten artikel sebanyak 510 berhasil diperbaiki kualitasnya. Pranala yang menunjukkan dampak promosi Wikimedia di Akure: Promosi Wikimedia di Akure Selain itu, tujuh bulan yang lalu saya merupakan salah satu penyelenggara utama untuk proyek "Wiki Iklim Tur Kampus Nigeria (WikiClimate Campus Tour Nigeria)", sebuah proyek tentang peningkatan kesadaran untuk isu iklim dan lingkungan yang melibatkan enam lembaga di Nigeria. Pada akhir proyek tersebut, 324 editor berhasil kami rekrut, 1.907 artikel Wikipedia disunting, dan 209 butir Wikidata telah dibuat. Pranala yang menunjukkan dampak dari "Wiki Iklim Tur Kampus Nigeria": Wiki Iklim Tur Kampus Nigeria/Tim Kemitraan dan Pelaksana Saat ini, saya menjabat sebagai salah satu anggota Dewan Pengawas, Proyek Wiki Ilmu Kedokteran. | |
| Menurut pandangan Anda, hal-hal apa saja yang harus Yayasan Wikimedia diutamakan selama jangka waktu 5-10 tahun yang akan datang? Mengapa Anda merasa bahwa hal tersebut harus diutamakan? | Yayasan Wikimedia harus memprioritaskan kontribusi ke proyek-proyek saudari Wikipedia lainnya yang dirasa kurang berfungsi seperti Wikifungsi, Wikispesies. Hal tersebut terjadi karena penganakemasan situs Wikipedia. Saat ini merupakan saat yang tepat supaya dunia bisa melihat proyek tersebut dan akhirnya bisa mewujudkan misinya, yaitu "memberdayakan dan melibatkan orang-orang dari seluruh dunia agar mereka mengumpulkan dan mengembangkan konten pendidikan di bawah lisensi gratis atau dalam domain publik, serta untuk menyebarkannya secara efektif dan global". | |

| 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. | |
