Estratégia/Movimento Wikimedia/2017/Pessoas/Coordenadores de estratégia

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
This page is a translated version of the page Strategy/Wikimedia movement/2017/People/Strategy coordinators and the translation is 50% complete.

The strategy coordinators are part-time, remote contractors with an initial contract of approximately three months. They will carry invitations out to communities, run targeted discussions on assigned subjects, monitor discussions on large questions, summarize both English and non-English feedback in English on Metawiki, report on major themes that emerge, and serve as coordinators for workgroups. Some coordinators will focus on specific language communities that they are familiar with.

During a trip to Dana Nature Reserve, Jordan.

I am a writer, blogger and translator. Voluntary work gives me a great deal of pleasure, whenever I have free time, I will try to invest it somewhere where I believe it is going to be useful. I started editing Wikipedia in 2009, since then, I have written over a thousand articles in Arabic (also a single one in English). I have been an admin on Arabic Wikipedia for nearly three years, before giving up my resignation. I have also contributed to organizing plenty of Wiki-related events, including Wikipedia Education Program, Wiki Loves Monuments, and WikiArabia 2016 (a regional conference). I am currently a member of Wikimedia Levant, a community advocate for Khan Academy, and a fresh student of English Literature.

As a volunteer, User:Chicocvenancio, I've participated in Portuguese Wikipedia for a a few years now. My work in articles is usually small error fixes and content addition, but sometimes I undertake a article creation from scratch or a full translation.

I also work a bit with scripts and have an inactive bot account over there.

I love to give something back and help other editors.
