| 必須回答的問題 | ||
| 您為何競選維基媒體基金會理事會成員？您會為維基媒體基金會理事會貢獻什麼？您想進一步了解什麼？ | 我競選維基媒體基金會理事會成員是因為我想更實際地對待我對自由知識的貢獻。在此之前，我一直為維基媒體專案做出貢獻，但當選為維基媒體基金會理事會成員之一將使我更容易做更多的事情，而不僅僅是編輯，我將能夠提供解決方案並直接幫助維基媒體基金會。
而且，我是一個充滿熱情的人，無論做什麼都會盡力而為。我將把我充滿活力的氛圍帶到維基媒體基金會理事會，這當然是非常有感染力的！ | |
| 請描述您的維基媒體經驗（例如：對維基媒體專案的貢獻、維基媒體組織或維基媒體自治體的成員資格、作為維基媒體運動組織者的活動或參與維基媒體運動盟友組織）。 | 我是一名活躍的維基百科編輯，在英文維基百科上編輯了 2660 次並發表了 101 篇文章。
2023 年，我在我所在的州份領導了「阿庫雷維基媒體推廣」計畫；該計畫位於尼日利亞翁多州，旨在提高阿庫雷的人們對維基百科及其姐妹計畫的認識。歷時一個月的專案結束後，維基媒體阿庫雷編輯群組成立，共有 110 位編輯，改進了 510 篇文章。 展示阿庫雷維基媒體推廣計畫影響的連結：阿庫雷維基媒體推廣計畫 另外，7個月前，我是「維基氣候計劃尼日利亞校園之旅」計畫的核心組織者之一，這是一個涉及尼日利亞6個機構的氣候和環境問題意識計畫。 在專案結束時，我們招募了 324 位編輯，編輯了 1907 篇維基百科文章，創建了 209 個維基資料項目。展示「維基氣候計劃尼日利亞校園之旅」影響的連結：維基氣候計劃尼日利亞校園之旅/合作夥伴和實施團隊 目前，我是維基醫學計劃的理事會成員之一。 | |
| 從您的角度來看，維基媒體基金會在未來 5-10 年應該優先考慮什麼，為什麼您認為這些是最重要的優先事項？ | 維基媒體基金會應優先考慮為維基百科其他功能性不強的姊妹專案（如Wikifunctions、維基物種）提供貢獻。這是因為維基百科一直受到重視，現在是時候讓世界運轉起來，履行其使命：「讓全世界的人們有能力並參與收集和開發自由許可或公共領域的教育內容，並在全球範圍內進行有效傳播」。 | |

| 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. | |
