Tambayoyi na zaɓi - Kwararren Kwarewa, Basira da Ilimi
Waɗannan tambayoyin na zaɓi ne. Amsoshin za su ƙidaya zuwa jimlar iyakar kalma akan aikace-aikacen ku. (Tunatarwa: Ba za ku sami wasu damar ba da wannan bayanin ba).
Da fatan za a bayyana ƙwarewar sana'ar ku da kuma dacewa ga aikin mashawarta.	I study artificial intelligence as Wikimedian in Residence at the School of Data Science. I already mentor student researchers, and as trustee, I would collaborate with students from all disciplines to assist me with board work. I would send students into Wikipedia to help me analyze, report, and uplift, and deliver Wikipedia community conversations and decisions to researchers, media, and public policy discussions. I was Wikimedian in Residence at Consumer Reports from 2012-18, and before that I did clinical research through which I also did medical Wikipedia editing. In all these things I did project management, budgeting, and strategy.
Da fatan za a bayyana yadda kuka magance, ko ba wa wasu shawara, matsala mai sarƙaƙiya a cikin ƙungiya. Ta yaya kuka yi aiki tare da wasu don magance lamarin? Menene canjin da ya haifar daga ƙoƙarin ku?	At my school I helped to develop our open access guidelines. It is a common wish for Wikimedians that universities, museums, and organizations would adopt open source practices and implement them. Organizations worry about losing control of their media, but demonstrating the reach and popularity of Wikipedia is a great argument to convince organizations to freely share their knowledge online.
Da fatan za a bayyana asalin ilimin ku, gami da digiri, takaddun shaida, da darussan karatun da aka gama, da kuma dacewarsu ga aikin mashawarta.	I studied chemistry and am a research professional at a university. I do things the university way and not the way of a corporation, NGO, or government.
Da fatan za a ƙara duk wata hanyar haɗin yanar gizon da ta dace da ke kwatanta asalin ƙwararrun ku, gogewa, bayanin martaba (kamar LinkedIn, shafin ma'aikata, da sauransu).	- User:Bluerasberry YouTube ORCID We should not ask for LinkedIn profiles because that platform does not share our values. Also I wrote about the lawsuit against them.
Tambayoyi na zaɓi - Kwarewar Jagoranci
Waɗannan tambayoyin na zaɓi ne. Amsoshin za su ƙidaya zuwa jimlar iyakar kalma akan aikace-aikacen ku. (Tunatarwa: Ba za ku sami wasu damar ba da wannan bayanin ba).
Da fatan za a bayyana hanyoyin da kuka taimaka wajen samar da gada tsakanin al'ummomi da yawa (kamar ta yin aiki akan ayyuka a wajen wiki na gida, ko yin aiki akan haɗin gwiwa tsakanin ƙungiyoyi masu yawa).	To form bridges, people have to become friends by socializing repeatedly over time. An amazing part of Wikipedia that feels amazing is continually having positive interactions with other users by collaborating on projects. Bridges are the result of friendly collaboration on Wikimedia projects. As described above, I have hosted 100s of Wikimedia events. Away from Wikipedia, I operated a queer punk rock house concert venue which presented 100 bands and indexed them in Wikidata.
Za ku iya kwatanta wata manufa, akan wiki ko a kashe, da kuka taimaka wajen ƙirƙira ko canza? Menene kuka koya daga wannan kwarewa?	There is no need to turn a conversation into a conflict. We are Wikipedia and we can present all sides in our disagreements just like we do in encyclopedia articles. There have been times when 1000 volunteer users signed petitions, but not a single WMF staff person publicly joined the conversation. Surely there must be at least one staff person who wished to sign, but felt afraid to do so. Humans define Wikipedia's values and ethics, and when the user community is having deep conversations on major issues, then WMF staff need to feel safe to join those discussions. I was active in organizing community demonstrations including for Superprotect, the removal of the CEO, the rebranding, fundraising messages, and others. These are major wiki demonstrations with many petitioners. The lesson to learn is that we have to listen to all sides, collaborate, and edit the story together.
Ta yaya kuka sami damar ƙarfafa mutane don jin muryoyinsu?	I lived in the small rural town of West Orange, Texas from birth to age 18. Because I had problems for being gay, I moved to Seattle not knowing anyone there just because it was a big city far away. I did not have money so I lived for years in a building with no water or electricity. I experienced how society exploits vulnerable people. I am more fortunate now, but because of my personal experience, I find other Wikipedia editors from fringe backgrounds. Wikipedia has editors who are homeless, unemployed, disabled, in poverty, in drug abuse, doing sex work, serving as caretakers for others, displaced or immigrant, but who still edit Wikipedia because they believe in sharing information. Editing Wikipedia is a pleasurable productive activity to all kinds of people. I try to make Wikipedia more accessible to the scared young person I used to be.
Kuna iya bayyana yadda kuka nuna ikon jagorantar wasu wajen warware matsaloli, daidaitawa da canji ko cimma burin, musamman a matakin jagoranci ko gudanarwa?	Management in Wikimedia projects means finding ways to consistently convert the money from Wikipedia donations into the impact that we decide is most meaningful. I recommend that Wikimedia community organizations ask questions like, "How much money does it cost to recruit a new editor?", "What is the worth of a Wikipedia article which is read 5000 times monthly?", or "What museums will sponsor Wikipedia programs if we develop GLAM tools?" The leaders of a program should publish brief fantasy best case scenarios for their programs, and more realistic probable outcomes. After a project, compare the predictions to the outcome. Doing these exercises will confirm that the development team and community have a shared dream of a good outcome. For anyone applying for grants to the Wikimedia Foundation or for anyone making Wikipedia products, make these predictions before you begin.
Tambayoyi na zaɓi - Tsarin Tunani
Waɗannan tambayoyin na zaɓi ne. Amsoshin za su ƙidaya zuwa jimlar iyakar kalma akan aikace-aikacen ku. (Tunatarwa: Ba za ku sami wasu damar ba da wannan bayanin ba).
Da fatan za a bayyana gogewar ku ta shiga ko jagorantar kungiya wajen tsara makomarta. Ta yaya aikinku ya ba da gudummawa wajen zabar hanya madaidaiciya ga kungiyar?	At the start of any project, write a draft of your final report so that you have a clear idea of how success should look. The right path is the one that leads to the dream that everyone wrote at the start of the project.
