Takeaways – choose 3 specific Wikimania sessions you attended and describe your key take-aways per session.

1. Wikimedian of the year 2022: I always wait for this session. Glad to see people get recognized for their contribution. I learned about their contributions. I was surprised when i learned a wikimedian wrote 7K articles and uploaded 20K+ photos. I hope one day I can do that also. 2. Discussing improvements to the desktop Wikipedia experience (Vector 2022): I was interested in this because Bengali wikipedia is one of vector 2022 partner wiki. I learned about it's history, what was their intention, the challenges while building it and what are they doing now. 3. Improving mobile web for experienced editors: same as above, 60% of Bengali edits came from mobile and i frequently get questions about mobile editing. I also think those moderation tools, accessing preferences page from mobile would be a great improvement.
