| Neden Wikimedia Vakfı Mütevelli Heyeti'ne adaysınız? Ne gibi bir katkınız olsun isterdiniz? Ne hakkında daha fazla bilgi edinmek istersiniz? | Topluluğa yatırım, hedeflerimize ulaşmanın en iyi yoludur ve topluluğun güçlendirilmesi yoluyla Wikimedia Vakfı misyonunu ilerleten bütçelerini geliştirmek için yönetim kuruluna katılmak istiyorum. Wikimedia Vakfı 2017'den bu yana 1.000.000.000 ABD doları topladı, ancak yıllık bütçenin yalnızca %10'u hibe olarak dağıtıldı. Bu para miktarı, liderlik ve topluluk yönetişimini yeterli derecede geliştirmek için çok düşüktür.
2024 Wikimedia Zirvesi'nde Wikimedia hareketi iştirakleri yeni Hareket Tüzüğü ve Küresel Konsey'in gücü Wikimedia Vakfı'ndan kullanıcı topluluğuna aktarmasına karar verdi. Bu güç aktarımı güçlü bir savunuculuk olmadan gerçekleşmeyebilir, ancak topluluğun başarılı olmak için ihtiyaç duyduğu kaynaklar için pazarlık yapacağım. Bu, mevcut topluluk programlarını sürdürmeyi ve İspanyolca konuşan dünya, Hindistan ve Afrika ülkelerine yönelik fonları artırmayı içerir. Şu anda sadece wiki kuruluşlarının üyeleri bazı yönetişim haklarına erişebildiğinden, böyle bir üyeliği olmayan editörlerin ve okuyucuların %99'u için de yönetime katılım seçenekleri yaratmalıyız. Profesyonel bir Wikimedia rolü olan "Yerleşik Wikimedia editörü" (Wikimedian in Residence) olarak 12 yıllık deneyimim var. Virginia Üniversitesi'nde Veri Bilimi Okulu'ndayım ve kurumum yasal, muhasebe, etik ve diğer uzman akademik desteklerle Kurul çalışmalarımda beni desteklemeye hazır. | |
| Lütfen Wikimedia deneyiminizi açıklayın (Wikimedia projelerine katkılar, Wikimedia kuruluşlarına veya iştiraklerine üyelikler, Wikimedia Hareketi organizatörü olarak faaliyetler veya bir Wikimedia hareketi müttefik kuruluşuna katılım gibi). | *2012'den bu yana profesyonel Wikimedian olarak hizmet verdi, yani 12 yıl boyunca haftada 40 saat viki için çalıştı.
| |
| Sizin bakış açınıza göre, Wikimedia Vakfı önümüzdeki 5-10 yıl içinde nelere öncelik vermeli ve neden bunları en önemli öncelikler olarak görüyorsunuz? | Benzersiz gücümüz kitle kaynaklı merkezi olmayan yönetişimdir ve bunun büyümesini desteklemeliyiz.

| Optional questions - Professional Experience, Skills and Education | ||
| Please describe your experience with governing bodies of organizations (nonprofit or for-profit), mentioning the scope of your responsibilities, as well as the complexity of the organization (in terms of scale of operations, budget, number of people involved, or other meaningful measures) and the size of the board or body. | Since I joined the School of Data Science at the University of Virginia, it has grown from 10 to 200 people, with annual budget of $24 million/year. In this startup environment we make all strategic decisions collaboratively, and my own contribution is emphasizing open science.
I have designed budgets and annual reports for Wikimedia New York City, Wikimedia Medicine, and Wikimedia LGBT+, so I understand Wikimedia community governance. Since 2007 I have been on an ethics board reviewing ethics for multinational HIV vaccine clinical trials. Lessons from medical research can inform Wikimedia challenges. The United States government funds this from a US$3 billion budget. I founded an LGBT community center (Q2945640) which hosts concerts. This includes posting artist profiles in Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons to showcase regional culture. Our events have helped 100 people in açılmak (Q208099) as LGBT+. | |
| Please describe your professional career experience. | I am a data scientist and principal investigator in multiple research projects.
After university I conducted medical klinik araştırma (Q5133849), which I still do indirectly in ethics and data curation. From 2012-18 I was Wikimedian at Consumer Reports, which is a nonprofit Tüketici hakları (Q664183) organization sharing product safety information in Wikipedia. Since 2018 as a data scientist at my university I do projects to promote Açık bilim (Q309823) and Açık veri (Q309901). Partner organizations like these invest money in the Wikimedia platform, and we should seek more. | |
| Please briefly describe 3 situations that show how you tackled, or advised others on, a complex problem in an organization. How did you work with others to address the situations? | .
| |
| Please describe your educational background, including degrees, certificates, and courses of study finished, and their relevance to board work. | My bachelor of science in chemistry led me to medical research, then to ethics, diversity, and openness, and then to Wikimedia medical content. | |
| Please add any relevant links describing your professional background, experience, profile (such as LinkedIn, staff page, etc.). | . | |
| Optional questions - Leadership Experience | ||
| Please describe ways in which you have helped to form a bridge between multiple communities (such as by working on projects outside your home wiki, or working on a collaboration between multiple affiliates). | I edit medical content. During COVID my outreach recruited translators for articles.
On-wiki, I support Wikimedians in applying for Wikimedia grants. My own experience and the gaps in our funding reports have convinced me that many Wikimedians are unable to access money. I feel that financial transparency would increase trust in the Wikimedia grants strategy. As is common among LGBT+ wiki editors, I get harassed. Because my town Charlottesville had a Nazi rally in 2017 and because I live in the United States where shootings are routine, I support increased discussion of disaster response. Development of protection resources for LGBT+ people, women, neurodivergent people, and other vulnerable groups will make Wikimedia safer for everyone. | |
| Can you describe a policy, on wiki or off, that you helped to create or change? What did you learn from this experience? | At my university, I developed my school's open access policy . I learned why people either support or fear openness.
I organized community protests in the controversies over Superprotect, the removal of WMF CEO Lila Tretikov, the rebranding, Can San Fran Ban Fram?, fundraising messages, and others. These are major wiki demonstrations with many petitioners. While protests are helpful, it would better if they were not necessary. I wish to reconcile conflicts with financial transparency and consensus-building. | |
| How have you been able to empower people to make their voices heard? | I empower people to be heard by joining and bringing media to protests, as I just described. | |
| Sometimes in professional situations, there are personality conflicts. Explain how you remain productive even with personality conflicts. | I remain productive by addressing conflicts with de-escalation (Q1182511) techniques. Many organizations already have developed ways to address conflicts, and I want to bring these practices to Wikimedia. For example, feminist scholar Sara Ahmed (Q15437208) describes how society systematically dismisses women's complaints, and teaches how to avoid this. | |
| Optional questions - Strategic Thinking | ||
| Where do you see the need for greater diversity in the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees or within the movement? What steps would you take to improve diversity on the Board or within the movement? What steps would you recommend the Board take to improve diversity? | The need for greater diversity is in the Wikimedia Foundation budget. Although our volunteer recognition programs are diverse, our investments are not. More transparency about Wikimedia Foundation budgets and the Wikimedia Endowment would inspire global confidence in our programs. | |
