Stories about sharing

Interesting stories about applying the skills I want to share.

I successfully adapted myself to the wiki environment and participated in NDEC WERT Wikimedia bootcamp. After that I completed PET and some wiki projects. Through these projects I learned - How to create and edit Wikipedia articles Creating wikidata entry Subtitling videos on Commons Licencing and Fair use of documents Later I organised offwiki meetings, managed and directed team members and documented their progress and further activities. Currently I am engaged with several organizing teams and outreach programmes.
