[Wikimediaindia-l] Featured Wikimedian of the Month - February 2019

2019-02-02 Thread Yohann Thomas 
Dear all

It gives me great pleasure to announce that the Featured Wikimedian of the
month for February 2019 is User:Gazalworld. Please find a short brief about
him below.

"Anant Rathod with User Name: Gazal world is an editor on Gujrati and
English Wikimedia Projects. He was introduced to Wikimedia by his friend
and an active editor on English Wikipedia User: Nizil Shah who helped him
by providing step-by-step guidance on Wikimedia editing. Anant's favourite
area of editing has been writing about Indian literature on English
Wikipedia and vice-versa for Gujarati Wikipedia.
On four different occasions, his work has been featured under Did You Know
section on English Wikipedia. Anant's good quality contributions have
helped him attain access rich scholarly and archive content like JSTOR,
Oxford, Project MUSE, EPW, EBSCO, Edinburgh University Press, De Gruyter
and Questia. Anant believes that pay-wall resources restrict a volunteer on
improving quality content on Wikipedia. To overcome this, he has been
working as a tireless volunteer on the resource desk on English Wikipedia
and has helped in providing more than five hundred reference material to
the volunteers. The most encouraging practice in this exercise has been
visiting the physical library - Gujarat Vidyapith Library where he gets the
books physically scanned and provides it to the needful.

Anant is associated with several literary associations and has also
participated as a poet for Sahitya Akademi, New Delhi. Being a student of
Chemistry, he stays in Ahmedabad in Gujarat."

If you know any Wikimedian whom you think should be featured, please feel
free to nominate him/her on
http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Featured_Wikimedian/Nominations
Or feel free to contact me at yohan...@wikimedia.in or Abhinav Srivastava
at abhinav.srivast...@wikimedia.in.

Hello all,

Thanks Yohann for sharing this. Anant is an awesome contributor to
Wikimedia projects, was helpful to many users at the resource exchange. I
am so happy that he has been selected as the Featured Wikimedian.

On this occasion, I would like to share a latest update with all of you
regarding Anant's work. He has been consistently working with the "Gujarat
Vishw Kosh Trust" (http://vishwakosh.org/) for quite some time now. He
previously convinced them to release 45 images under CC BY-SA 4.0. Most of
them are of Gujarati authors. Last week OTRS received an email from its
president that they've setup a Wikimedia user account, User:Gujarat Vishw
Kosh Trust, and are willing to release all their works under CC BY-SA 4.0,
uploaded from the account. Required details for verification have been
provided in the email sent to OTRS, and this account is now verified and
required pages were setup. Details about this can be found at
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Gujarat_Vishw_Kosh_Trust.

I thank and congratulate Anant for this consistent efforts making this
possible.

Regards,
Krishna Chaitanya V.
