Welcome back from Wikimania 2017!

Participant

Outcome

Option 3: New Creation: What was one useful outcome that was created at the event for the Wikimedia movement?

During Wikidata and infoboxes session I learned about using Wikidata data in Wikipedia, and about ArticlePlaceholder extension. I discussed it with the community, pointing to the importance and usefulness of ArticlePlaceholder, and as a result we installed it in Albanian Wikipedia.
Participated in Canadian Women Edit-a-thon and wrote 2 articles about Canadian women in Albanian Wikipedia (sq:Anne-Marie Olivier and sq:Maria Klawe)
For a period of 3-4 months we had an issue with editor toolbar of sqwiki. After Wikimania, during my way to airport I met Bartosz, member of the VisualEditor team at the Editing department, to whom I explained issue. After some tests, we analysed and fixed the issue.

Connections

After attending some wiki regional and international conferences, one of the most important things for me is to meet with old friends, at the same time new friends. I met Quim Gil, one of the people I knew only from the phabricator, Rosie of Women in Red, with whom I talked about the "WikiProject Women" activities we are making in Albanian Wikipedia. Met also Asaf, Vahid, Andy Mabbett, Djiboun, Arminé, Ivo Kruusamägi, Asen Stefanov, Vassia, Mikheil, a lot of people in CEE Meetup, Wikidata Meetup, 100wikidays lunch, and many others that I'm sure I forgot to mention. Thank you for this remarkable Wikimania!!
