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.”
