Ассалом дӯстон! Ман Шуҳрат Саъдиев аз Тоҷикистон, шаҳри Душанбе. Ба забонҳои тоҷикӣ ва русӣ озодона сухан мегуям ва менависам.
Аз соли 2011 корбари tg.wikipedia.org мебошам. Аз апрели соли 2016 мудири бахши забони тоҷикии tg.wikipedia.org мебошам. Википедиячиёни тоҷик дар августи соли 2015 - 32,823 мақола нвашта буданд. Айни ҳол дар Википедия 107 293 мақола ба забони тоҷикӣ навишта шудааст.
Дар meta. com (facebook.com) саҳифаи Википедиячиёни тоҷик Википедияи Тоҷикӣ — Tajik Wikipedia амал карда истодааст. Мо бо ҷомеаи Шумоем дӯстон!

Hi everyone, I’m Jon Harald Søby! Professionally I work in Wikimedia Norge with @Mali_Brødreskift_WMNO, trying to establish the Wikimedia Language Diversity Hub amongst other things. As a volunteer I have been active in language issues practically since I started editing in 2005, and am a member of the Language Committee and involved in the Wikimedia Incubator and some technical stuff as well.

My native language is Norwegian, and I also speak English fluently, and have studied many other lanugages, like German, Spanish, Esperanto, Romanian, Swahili and Northern Sámi, but I am usually better at reading and writing those than I am at speaking (because in written form, I can use dictionaries).

Fun fact: I have 3 kids ages 4–15, so life is… hectic, but fun. :slight_smile: I lived in Tanzania for 6 months in 2011, and will be going back there for holiday for 6 weeks this summer. Can’t wait!

Pozdrav svima! Ja sam Željko, ali u međunarodnoj komunikaciji preferiram koristiti inicijal Z.

Iznimno ne pišem na engleskom jeziku jer mislim da je važno da ga se bar povremeno izbaci iz središta i ne podrazumjeva kao jedinu normu. Kao queer osoba sa Balkana često djelujem kritički i kreativno van normi. Ne podrazumijevam da su socijalne norme vezane uz nasljeđe kolonijalizma i rojalizma te suvremeni neo-liberalizam niti jedine niti globalne, čak i kada mnogi Wikipedisti tako misle. To je i dio mog rada u polju kulture, medija i edukacije zbog čega sam u Wikimedia ekosustavu sa različitim zajednicama, pojedincima i oko različitih entiteta.

Ljubitelj sam Discourse softwarea odavno, ali sam bio zakasnio podržati WM Space da postane dio standardne Wikimedija komunikacijske infrastrukture prije pandemije (učinio bi je malo podnošljivijom)… ali veselim se ovoj novoj prilici za pregledniju, raznovrsniju i inkluzivniju razmjenu mišljenja!
