声明
My first edit on the Thai Wikipedia was in March 2006 as an undergraduate student. During the past thirteen years, the Wikimedia Movement and I have significantly grown. It is my honor to be able to serve in various volunteer roles in the Thai community – Sysop, CheckUser, ArbCom, organizer of WLM/WLE competitions and lead coordinator in a usergroup.
Over the years, my contribution has shifted from an editor to a mentor to other volunteers in the movement. I am very grateful to my students and other volunteers whose work as Wikipedians and usergroup volunteers have already surpassed mine in terms of quality and quantity. I can now run for the WMF board seat because of their encouragement and support.
I am a native to a developing country in a Southeast Asian nation but I have a significant personal, cultural and academic connection to East Asia, India and Australia. To many of us, Wikipedia and its sister projects do mean a lot more than the free knowledge movement known in the global north. There are also different challenges/needs as well as untapped potentials for this underrepresented region of the world. It is my intention to seek due attention from the foundation to the underrepresented - not only ours.
The relationship between the WMF and internal/external stakeholders is complex and evolving. As a long-term volunteer, I have had interactions with WMF and other international peers in the movement in different capacities. I have completed a number of WMF grants and successfully negotiated an agreement for a usergroup. Through Wikimanias, WMCONs and a Hackathon sponsored by the WMF, I have become friends with those who share the same inspiration and frustration. If elected, I will seek to redefine and balance this relationship to make our movement productive and sustainable.
