Hello, Muli mutya!
It’s no secret that librarians make amazing Wikimedians. Whether it is because of the shared passion for knowledge or superpowers in working with sources, databases and categories, or the simple fact that librarians are just great human beings, we know that they thrive in the Wikimedia projects. Today, we Wikicelebrate <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communications/WikiCelebrate>a truly amazing Wikimedian and librarian: Alice Kibombo <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:AKibombo> – a contributor to Wikipedia, Wikidata, Wikisource <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Community_User_Group_Uganda/WikiSource_in_Uganda_2022>, and the Wikimedia Community User Group Uganda, a #1lib1ref trainer <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3X_-w0tYp4&t=2854s>, and, in her Wikimedian in Residence role, personally trained ~180 English-speaking librarians in Wikidata!. From a common start as a Wikipedia reader to a transformative role as a teacher and community supporter, Alice Kibombo has become an inspiring figure in the pursuit of barrier-free access to the sum of human knowledge As she says: “Participating in the Wikimedia Movement has offered me the responsibility to be a more responsible contributor, a community resource person as well as a teacher.” Learn more about Alice on Diff <https://diff.wikimedia.org/2023/12/14/one-librarian-many-achievements-meet-alice-kibombo-librarian-extraordinaire/> as we WikiCelebrate her incredible dedication to free knowledge. Each month we WikiCelebrate a different Wikimedian, acknowledging the amazing community, the pillars of our movement. We warmly invite you to participate in the celebrations. If there’s an outstanding Wikimedian that you think should be celebrated, recommend <https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/WikiCelebrate>them. Happy celebrating!
