Welcome back from Wikimania 2017!

Participant[edit]

Outcome[edit]

Option 3: New Creation: What was one useful outcome that was created at the event for the Wikimedia movement?

During Wikidata and infoboxes session I learned about using Wikidata data in Wikipedia, and about ArticlePlaceholder extension. I discussed it with the community, pointing to the importance and usefulness of ArticlePlaceholder, and as a result we installed it in Albanian Wikipedia.
Participated in Canadian Women Edit-a-thon and wrote 2 articles about Canadian women in Albanian Wikipedia (sq:Anne-Marie Olivier and sq:Maria Klawe)
For a period of 3-4 months we had an issue with editor toolbar of sqwiki. After Wikimania, during my way to airport I met Bartosz, member of the VisualEditor team at the Editing department, to whom I explained issue. After some tests, we analysed and fixed the issue.

Connections[edit]

After attending some wiki regional and international conferences, one of the most important things for me is to meet with old friends, at the same time new friends. I met Quim Gil, one of the people I knew only from the phabricator, Rosie of Women in Red, with whom I talked about the "WikiProject Women" activities we are making in Albanian Wikipedia. Met also Asaf, Vahid, Andy Mabbett, Djiboun, Arminé, Ivo Kruusamägi, Asen Stefanov, Vassia, Mikheil, a lot of people in CEE Meetup, Wikidata Meetup, 100wikidays lunch, and many others that I'm sure I forgot to mention. Thank you for this remarkable Wikimania!!
