Maor X

Wikipedian since 2005. Born and raised in Barquisimeto, Venezuela, I live since 2013 in Jerusalem, Israel.

Off-wiki, I'm a computer engineer working as the Wiki Community Manager of an IT company (yes, we have a wiki) and work on my certification as a teacher of Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) and write short stories, as well as a novel in that language as a hobby.

I have been a voting member of Affiliations Committee from 02/2013 until 12/2019 and from 10/2023 to 12/2024, serving on different roles; as of now, I am an advisor to the committee. I have also been a member of the Language Committee since 2012.

I'm the sole bureaucrat at the Ladino Wikipedia, but also contribute in the Spanish, Wayuunaiki, English, Hebrew and Portuguese Wikipedias. I am also member of Wikimedia Israel and Wikimedia Venezuela, of which I am a founding member, first Treasurer and later the vice-president until November 2014.
