Welcome to my user page. My name is Allan. I've been an editor on various Wikimedia projects since 2011. In real life, I provide technical support for hardware and have also worked as an independent journalist. My primary interests span theology, cryptography, and Nintendo consoles and video games. Outside of these pursuits, I enjoy photography and crafting fiction.

Wikimedians of Costa Rica

I have actively contributed to establishing a Wikimedia User Group in my home country. Despite encountering significant challenges and struggling to secure genuine commitment, our efforts have allowed us to convene as Wikimedians in Costa Rica. We regularly gather to discuss our initiatives, commemorated Wikipedia's 15th anniversary, and actively participated in events such as wikifemhackcr.

Iberoconf

I had the privilege of attending Iberoconf 2014 in Buenos Aires as a representative of Wikimedians in Costa Rica. It was a fantastic experience where I connected with fellow offline contributors who share my language and a passion for advancing Wikimedia Projects. This event provided valuable insights into effective strategies for inspiring fellow Wikimedians in my home country.

Additionally, I actively participated in the Wiki Tour Argentina 2014 photo contest organized by Wikimedia Argentina during my stay.

Wikimania

Wikimania 2013

Attending Wikimania 2013 in Hong Kong was a significant experience for me, made possible by a scholarship from the Wikimedia Foundation. It marked my inaugural opportunity to meet fellow Wikimedians face-to-face. The conference not only provided valuable insights into enhancing contributions to online and offline projects but also served as a catalyst for my involvement in initiatives within my home country. Moreover, it ignited my interest in exploring more effective ways to contribute through bot-assisted edits.

The joy I derived from this experience extended to my commitment in translating a substantial amount of information for its wiki page.

Wikimania 2014

I participated in Wikimania 2014 in London, thanks to a similar scholarship. On this occasion, I had the opportunity to engage in conversations with a diverse group of attendees and attended numerous insightful lectures. I even submitted my own presentation titled Free knowledge, free software, free cryptography user, although it regrettably did not make it through the selection process.

Despite the rejection, my time at the event led to a fantastic opportunity. I was interviewed by Victor Grigas, discussing my interests in utilizing robust cryptography in journalism. This interview was later featured as For freedom of information on the Wikimedia Blog.

I also attempted to organize a PGP key signing party, but unfortunately, we couldn't execute it entirely. I may consider giving it another try in the future.

Wikimania 2016

I had the opportunity to participate in Wikimania 2016 in Esino Lario, thanks to a scholarship. Unfortunately, I couldn't attend due to unforeseen circumstances. Nevertheless, I made valuable contributions by providing translations on the conference wiki.

Wikipedia Asian Month

I have participated in the Asian Month. It has been a very educational experience, especially since there are several places in Asia that capture my attention and that I have wanted to visit. On several occasions, I have read with interest about the history and culture of some countries on that continent.

These are the articles I have written during the times I have been able to participate:

Wikiversity

I am not an educator, but I would love to contribute significantly to this project.

I collaborated in advocating for the establishment of Spanish Wikivoyage alongside numerous other supporters, including Patricio Lorente.

Article

Wikimedia Meta-Wiki

Among various types of edits, my primary focus has been on translating the Tech News.

Wikimedia Incubator

This is the place where Spanish Wikivoyage originated, and my initial involvement with the project began right here. I seized the opportunity to propose the initiation of testing for Spanish Wikivoyage and played a role in guiding fellow editors through the necessary steps for a swift project release.

Wikimedia Outreach

I believe this project serves as an excellent opportunity to promote the main Wikimedia Projects. It would be wonderful if we could translate all their material into Spanish.
