A Wikipedian interview

edit

The life of the Wikipedians in this encyclopedia must be known. In the interview of the Wikipedist we will tell you the trajectory of the users that edit the Encyclopédie online. They have won wikiconcursos, have broken recórds, everything that has done this editors.

Today's interview is a: MONUMENTA.

1. User MONUMENTA, can you say what made you enter Wikipedia?

Previously make minor editions and not continued in time as IP and in two accounts, MONUMENTALMELILLA (disc. · contr.) and ÉRASE UNA VEZ MELILLA (disc. · contr.) to fix grammatical errors and small mistakes, like the majority until it makes house two years that believes, like many, to write, of my city, Melilla, so that there were articles on interesting buildings of this, and could appear in Google Maps. And, then they hooked me, help, solve doubts, patrol, write from other areas, collaborate in the development of the community, etc.

2. What is your favorite article?

Favorite ?, of those that I have done, Casa de David J. Melul, of the others ?, Palacio de Comunicaciones, more than of the quality of the article, undoubtedly the one of this second, it matters that the topic interests me.

3. What was your first edition?

In this account? This, of the that I liked the most in my city in the Assistant for the creation of articles / Workshop / Relevant?, In the others ?, title = Melilla & diff = prev & oldid = 57086586 & diffmode = source this, grammatical errors and small errors, as I said before. My first global edition would be like IP in Melilla. You do not worry about those details when you start, but when you've been around for a long time, and you want to know about your origins.

4. Was it ever blocked?

No, but at the beginning I could be close, I created many very small articles, which were and I was not expanding them. The main reason for the blockades to consolidated users comes to fever, insults to users, sabotage to them and touch articles to say what you want.

5. And the last one. How would you see the future of Wikipedia?

From global wikipedia, with a slow and sustained growth of eswiki, very black, the community suffers from a problem of self-absorption, immobility and fear of any change, and to give their trust to anyone. We demand a lot of quality articles and missing editors with time and desire that can meet the novices in the most relaxed and enjoyable, to prevent them from leaving. When the remaining Administrators get tired of doing superhuman work and we still do not choose new ones, we may find out what a comb is worth, and Metawiki has to do something ....

In the framework of Estrategia Wikimedia 2030, after a Phase 1 that lasted for years, a phase 2 begins in which we will discuss the documents of the previous phase and elaborate answers to the questions that were raised in the previous phase. The objective is to discuss it at the end of August in Wikimanía 2019, in the form of recommendations for the working groups.
