Hello, everyone! In September the Central Eastern European region met at
their annual regional conference
. It was an
opportunity for the region to discuss, collaborate, appreciate Istanbul cats
,
learn and… celebrate! This last element happened through WikiCelebrate
,
a project in which we regularly show our gratitude to volunteers who
tirelessly work on bringing free knowledge to the world.
At the CEE Meeting we celebrated Mārtiņš Bruņenieks, in the projects known
as user:Papuass . Since his
first small maintenance edit made in Latvian Wikipedia almost 20 years ago,
he has taken on many roles: he is an administrator, article author,
regional connector, campaign organizer, and translator. Mārtiņš is now the
author of more than 3,000 articles in Latvian Wikipedia across various
topics. Readers can learn from him about Croatian folk dance
, a lake in Azerbaijani
, a British throne succession
,
or Latvian female BMX racer
, and
many, many other topics. He also supports the largest campaign in the CEE
region: the CEE Spring
.
Learn more about this Latvian contributor, with more than 155 000
contributions spanning across the Wikimedia projects, and join the
celebrations! You can read the blogpost on Diff
(where you can also congratulate Mārtiņš)
.
And if you would like to help us in celebrating more amazing Wikimedians,
you can recommend them through the WikiCelebrate form
!
Happy celebrating and CEE you!
