| Pernyataan | I submit my candidacy for the Board of Trustees because my experience with Wikimedia has been a bit different from many and as such I can bring a different perspective. I began editing in 2007 not only to add information about topics that concern me (e.g. those related to Mexico) but also as a way to develop my Spanish language skills. Shortly after I began involving Wikipedia into my advanced English language classes as “authentic communication” even before there was a Wikipedia Education Program. While my focus has been on education, my experience also includes involvement in the various programs of Wikimedia such as GLAM and Wikimedia México. In fact, I have mixed aspects of GLAM and chapter work involving my campus in projects such as photography contests, cultural outreach, participation in chapter events and even photo donations from campus archives, things done at few, if any, other educational institutions. Educational institutions are extremely important to Wikimedia, and it is important to have someone on the board who is both a Wikipedian and an educational professional who understands both the needs of educational institutions and the needs and culture of the Wiki community. |

| Pernyataan | Selama sepuluh tahun belakangan, saya telah menyunting, memikirkan, berbicara dan menulis tentang Wikipedia. Saya telah membantu menjalankan Wikimania pada banyak tahun dan telah terlibat dengan penelitian, pendidikan dan komunitas GLAM. Saya juga telah melaporkan untuk Signpost, merencanakan kegiatan lokal, dan bekerja untuk strategi. Saya melayani di Dewan Pengawas dari 2010-12. Selama masa itu, saya adalah pengurus perpustakaan ilmu alam dan teknik di Universitas California, Davis.
Dewan selanjutnya akan memiliki banyak hal untuk dilakukan. Dewan harus mempekerjakan dan membimbing direktur eksekutif selanjutnya; mengembangkan baik rencana tahunan maupun rencana strategis jangka panjang; memutuskan apakah mengejar sumbangan atau tidak; dan menilai FDC. Dewan juga harus memperkirakan arah keseluruhan WMF, dan, bersama dengan komunitas dan staf, memutuskan apakah kegiatan WMF tepat guna dalam menjaga proyek dan komunitas untuk tetap sehat dan tumbuh. Saya percaya bahwa peranan paling penting Dewan adalah memastikan masa depan jangka panjang proyek dan misi Wikimedia. Kita dapat mencapai ini melalui perencanaan keuangan dan teknis dengan melihat ke depan, dan dengan proses internal terbuka yang membantu mengembangkan kepemimpinan komunitas. Saya dapat membantu menjaga Dewan tetap pada jalurnya. Saya terbiasa dengan cara kerja Dewan, WMF, dan komunitas, dan dapat mengorganisasi dan memimpin diskusi, membangun kesepakatan, dan menyampaikan keputusan. Saya dapat membantu mengatur waktu Dewan yang terbatas dengan efektif, dan jika diangkat, akan melakukannya untuk membuat Dewan dapat melakukan hal yang tersulit dengan baik. |

| Pernyataan | Pesan di belakang pencalonan saya adalah cukup sederhana: WMF akan tetap terbuka dan ramah.
Saya telah menjadi sukarelawan untuk Wikimedia untuk beberapa tahun, sebagai penyunting biasa, kepala mitra lokal, di ChapCom & ComCom, dan sebagai pengorganisasi konferensi Wikimania 2013. Saya bekerja sebagai penyunting dari perusahaan media lokal di Hong Kong. WMF harus tetap terbuka, bukan sebuah "amal tradisional terpusat". Kita sebaiknya mendukung afiliasi lokal untuk menjadikan struktur mereka profesional dan stabil sesuai yang diperlukan, dan mengembangkan keragaman. WMF juga akan meningkatkan komunikasi dengan pihak-pihak yang berbeda, dengan latar belakang saya sebagai siswa Jurnalisme dapat membantu. Kadang-kadang dengan hanya kata-kata yang sedikit lebih banyak, dan sedikit lebih banyak orang yang mendengarkan, dapat membuat perubahan besar. Saya juga akan senang melanjutkan karya saya pada pengembangan Wikimedia di Asia. Saya percaya keberadaan saya di dewan akan memperkuat saya untuk berbicara bagi mereka. Saya berharap saya dapat menjadi jembatan yang membantu antara pihak-pihak yang berbeda di dalam gerakan ini, baik saya diangkat maupun tidak. Saya melihat ke depan untuk mendengar dari Anda tentang bagaimana WMF sebaiknya menjadi, karena saya sebenarnya lebih baik dalam mendengarkan daripada berbicara. Saya percaya bahwa berbagi dengan rendah hati penting untuk masa depan dewan dan WMF. |

| Pernyataan | Gerakan kita sedang berada pada titik balik, secara teknis dan sosial. Ini adalah masa yang bagus untuk bereksperimen, dan untuk merencanakan bersama untuk masa depan. Kita dapat belajar satu sama lain dan tumbuh lebih erat.
Saya telah menikmati melayani Dewan, dan ingin melihat WMF bekerja lebih efektif untuk mendukung proyek kita. Ini sebaiknya meliputi:
Dewan sebaiknya membantu membuat ini juga. Kami juga akan memilik dan mendukung ED mendatang kami, dan membangun rencana perjalanan yang mencakup strategi dari banyak komunitas kami.
Saya lahir di Amerika Serikat, dan telah tinggal di Jerman dan Kenya. Saya jatuh cinta kepada Wikipedia dan proyek saudarinya 10 tahun yang lalu. Sejak saat itu saya telah berkontribusi sebagai penyunting, penerjemah, kolumnis, dan steward. Saya mengepalai Wikimania 2006 dan merencanakan Tantangan Kiswahili WP. Saya telah melayani di Dewan sejak tahun 2009, bekerja pada transparansi dan strategi, dan melayani di Komite Mitra dan Komite Audit. Di luar wiki, saya mengetuai komite teknis untuk Perpustakaan Umum Digital Amerika. Saya adalah Direktur Konten pada One Laptop Per Child, tempat kami mengirimkan WP dan WikiJunior kepada 2 juta anak di negara berkembang. Sebelum itu, saya belajar fisika di Harvard, dan bekerja di perangkat lunak dan pendidikan. |

| Pernyataan | Saya bukan seorang birokrat atau seorang politisi; saya adalah seorang penyunting, dan seorang pengurus pada wiki bahasa Inggris. Penduduk asli Belanda, saya mendapatkan Ph.D. di Amerika Serikat dan kini seorang profesor tetap dari literatur Abad Pertengahan, tempat saya mendaftarkan karya Wikipedia saya sebagai "penelitian". Konferensi Tingkat Tinggi Pendidikan Tinggi 2011 dan Wikimania 2012 mengokohkan keinginan saya untuk menjadi aktif di dalam organisasi. Saya secara khusus tertarik dalam mempromosikan penggunaan Wikipedia di akademia.

| Pernyataan | Hello Wikimedia. I'm putting in a candidacy so you have diversity of choice, and because I can bring unique insight. Me as a Wikimedian? I'm a sysop on English Wikipedia (occasional contributor to Commons/Wikibooks/Wikinews) and write articles about the Second World War. I'm also heavily involved with the Wikimedia UK chapter. In real life I am a freelance software engineer and author/writer. I hope to bring a deeply technical perspective to the board, and an understanding of software engineering, architecture and management. The Foundation has worked to build links between the technical staff and the community, with some high profile success and failures. I hope to advise, both as a technologist and Wikipedian, how best to create a strong working environment. Broadly, the Foundation and Community need to build stronger ties, and I would foster that relationship - helping the WMF to incorporate broad community views into their strategic thinking; for example the editor retention program is excellent but needs deeper collaboration with the community to foster new editors. Disclosure: I am a paid contractor for the Wikimedia UK, a mild conflict that I am confident of managing. |

| Pernyataan | Hi, I’m a Psychology lic. I’m interested in this position because I'm a long-time volunteer, who started out on en.wp and am now most active on Wikinoticias, Meta and Spanish Wikipedia where I founded the LGBT Wikiproject. I’m a founding member of Wikimedia España, and was its first Vice-President. I also have experience with inter-chapter cooperation and helping new groups through the Iberocoop network. For more than a year I‘ve been serving on the Affiliations Committee, and am a member of the Individual Engagement Grants committee since its creation. I enjoy working towards empowering volunteers through official recognition and/or grants. Throughout my wiki volunteerism, I’ve been amazed with the people I’ve met. This has deepened my commitment to the Wikimedia movement. We may disagree on the path, but we all share the same powerful commitment to the outcome. As a Board member, my focus would include supporting our vision through the development of strategic plans, ensuring that diversity is at the heart of WMF's efforts to increase editorship, and encouraging communication and exchange by making the Board more approachable and visible. |

| Pernyataan | The issue most important to me, professionally and personally, is also most important to Wikimedia: access to knowledge, for everyone, uncensored, as creators and as consumers. I'm a lawyer, currently at Creative Commons; I went to law school because of Wikipedia, and have studied and worked in a wide range of the legal issues that affect us. I'm active in the free culture movement, building connections between organizations, helping each other achieve shared goals. I've been a Wikimedian for 9 years, on the board since 2006, and currently its chair, helping Wikimedia maintain its principles and fulfill its mission throughout a period of growth. But this isn't a role I intend to hold forever. The main reason I am seeking another term is to guide the transition to a new executive director. This is one of the most important tasks of a board; when that goes well, the rest of the job can be about providing direction, oversight, and strategy in a careful, thoughtful way. Hiring Sue and then working with her was an invaluable experience and a key time for WMF; I hope to spend the first year with her successor, making sure we are aligned on the values and practices that cannot compromise, and figuring out new directions. I plan to continue using my experience, professional skills, and commitment to the principles of our movement to guide us through a period of change while keeping the values and integrity that define our work. |

| Pernyataan | In the next two years we face major changes of leadership, technology, funds dissemination and of strategy. I believe for our movement to thrive the WMF must proactively support the capacity development of local communities. We must focus on enabling the community itself to be successful advocates for our mission. I have been involved in many aspects of the community. I am most proud of being the founder of our GLAM project and being the world’s first Wikipedian in Residence - at the British Museum. I have convened outreach conferences in Europe, Asia and North America, and frequently presented to cultural organisations and the media. I have also been: The WMF cultural partnerships fellow; the vice-president of Wikimedia Australia; and co-host of the Wikipedia Weekly podcast. My administrative involvement includes teams such as Individual Engagement Grants, Wikimania and OTRS. Professionally, I coordinate digital engagement at the National Library of Australia and have previously worked for Creative Commons and Europeana. My academic work on the historiography of Wikipedia received an award and I am completing a WIPO Masters degree in intellectual property law. |

| Pernyataan | I stand for these Board of Trustees community seats because Values I hold dear, and our Vision and Mission are for me a daily call to action. I work at the University of New England, in Armidale Australia, as a Research Data Analyst. I have over 100,000 edits. While I primarily edit on the English-language projects, I have over 100 non-anti-vandalism edits to 17 projects, including Wikipedias (Spanish, Russian, German, French, & Indonesian), Wikisource (Dutch, French, Russian, Latin and Multilingual), and I have edited on many of the Wiktionary projects, and English Wikiversity and smaller contributions to English Wikibooks. I have been the president of the Australian chapter, however I moved aside earlier this year to allow my colleague Craig Franklin to carry that torch. I have presented at, and organised, GLAM conferences, Wikimedia in Higher Education conferences in Australia and Indonesia, Open Knowledge conferences and workshops across Australia and Indonesia. I will work with the Board of Trustees to:
