AntonProtsiuk (WMUA)

I've been a Wikipedia volunteer since 2012; see Aced. In my volunteer capacity, I'm an administrator & bureaucrat on Ukrainian Wikipedia, typically devoting my time to admin and patrolling maintenance tasks, as well as to writing occasional articles on American politics and whatever fascinates me at the moment.

As a volunteer, I've been part of the Core Organizing Team (COT) for Wikimania 2022, a global virtual conference with distributed in-person local events around the world, as well as an advisor to the COT for Wikimania 2024.

Wikimedia Ukraine is an NGO that supports Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, and free knowledge in Ukraine. As Programs Coordinator, I lead a team of five staff members / contractors and oversee the organization’s programmatic work, such as content campaigns, diversity and editor recruitment initiatives, community events, and communications outreach.

I'm also a member of the advisory group for the Wikimedia CEE Hub, which supports community growth and development in Central and Eastern Europe, and former member of the Hub's Steering Committee.
