About me

Hello, fellow wikimedian! I'm Abdul-Rauf Moshie, a passionate Wikimedian, volunteer contributor, and advocate for open knowledge. I’m a Ghanaian, Medical Imaging Professional (BSs), based in Tamale. I joined the Wikimedia Movement in February 2023, ever since , been passionately contributing to Wikipedia, Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, Wikiquote and other sister wikis.

My work

My main efforts involve improving Wikipedia's medical content. My contributions currently are translating medical wikipedia articles mostly on Wiki Project Medicine's MDWiki platform to Dagbani to increase accessibility. Also, I am leading a team of interns with Wiki Project Medicine to translate medical articles to Dagbani, review published articles and make necessary corrections to improve readability and credibility. I also lead a non-formal community, WikiMed Africa, [WikiMed Africa] to train health professionals across Africa on how to leverage the MDWiki platform to also contribute to and translate health articles on Wikipedia and upload photos to Commons.

I'm a cancer fight advocate leveraging wikipedia to create awareness and also engaged in mass screening and intervention exercises in rural communities. I contribute to, imrove and translate health-related wikipedia contents. I serve as a contributor on the Mozilla Commonvoice project to develop languague model for Dagbani with the Dagbani Wikimedians User Group, and I’m also a proud member of Open Foundation West Africa and Tamale Wiki Hub. I have come to make a hobby out of narrating the untold African Stories and amplifying them , advocating for gender equity, and increasing access to free knowledge through open platforms. To this effect, I'm ever ready to learn and relearn and to collaborate with fellow Wikimedians for collective impact.

My Goal

My goals are to contribute towards open knowleadge advancement in Africa and to promote the visibility of wiki contents in indigenous African languages to help bridge the language coverage gap in the wikispace. And to achieve this I'll connect with people and rally behind any initiative or promote which aligns with these goals. I'm highly looking forward to that! But until then, let's continue editing, contributing to open knowledge...one wiki content at a time!

My Passion

I am passionate about Researching to find and to explore new ideas and contributing them openly and freely for humanity. I love nature too and loves to keep memories of it alive for future generations through Photography and documentations in Wiki. Also, I'm a CancerFight advocate and like to contribute projects which promotes this fight. Find below examples of pictures of nature I have submitted to Commons:
