This month we Wikicelebrate one of such volunteers: Donatien Kangah ([[User:Papischou]]), a Wikimedian from Côte d'Ivoire, editor of French language Wikipedia, a community leader active on local, regional, and global levels, a huge football fan, and the co-creator of the [[Wikimedia Community User Group Côte d'Ivoire]].

Readers around the world are familiar with the mainspace side of Wikimedia projects: the verified article pages, the proofread books, the treasure trove of open source media, and countless dictionary definitions, to name a few. There is also a lot happening in the background. Without the work of people resolving conflicts in talk pages, creating bots and giving creative solutions to conflicts the work around content would be much more difficult. Today we are celebrating [[:pt:usuário:Albertoleoncio|usuário:Albertoleoncio]], a Wikimedian who likes to work on the backstage of the Portuguese Wikimedia projects: watching and [[Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|performing oversight content]], working as an interface administrator and being a volunteer for [[Special:MyLanguage/VRT|VRT]].

Donatien is an experienced Wikipedia trainer, and a member of [[Wikifranca]] micro grant committee. He supported Wikimania through his activity in the scholarship committee, worked in the capacity building group for Movement Strategy and collaborated with communities from Senegal, Togo, Chad and Guinea. Most of his engagement is connected to the Community User Group Côte d'Ivoire, which he co-founded and which he now leads.

For Donatien the value of editing lies in learning through sharing. “Each act of sharing knowledge in Wikipedia is about checking sources, discovering new facts. Even if I already know a lot about the topic, I discover new facts in sources. It is like swimming in information. Sharing knowledge is not a passive process, it is a constant discovery. Through contributing I have learned a lot about my country, Africa and the world. Editing allows you to grow through giving”, says Donatien.
