Hi, welcome!

I am Tiago Lubiana, a life scientist and Wikimedian in São Paulo, Brazil.

I have recently received my PhD at the University of São Paulo, working with Wikidata and the ontological modeling of concepts related to cell types. I have lots of fun coding, building software, and wrangling structured knowledge. I find the life sciences to be exquisitely beautiful and believe in open knowledge as a tool for happier lives.

I've been contributing to Wikimedia projects since 2014, and you can check some work particular to each project on my user pages on each of them:

• Wikidata
• Lusophone Wikipedia
• Anglophone Wikipedia
• Anglophone Wikisource

For other links do check . Cheers!

I contribute to Wikimedia projects both on a volunteer and on a professional/academic capacity. From 2020 to 2024, I have worked on my PhD on modeling of biomedical concepts related to cells on Wikidata ().

From November 2024 to April 2025, I am working as a Wikimedian-in-Residence for the Biodiversity Heritage Library, supporting the activities of the BHL-Wiki Working Group.

I am a contractor associated with the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL), a global consortium of natural history, botanical, and research libraries that work together to digitize and make biodiversity literature openly available to the world as part of a global biodiversity community.

In my capacity affiliated with BHL, my contributions to the Wikimedia movement are guided by a commitment to uphold the highest standards of accuracy, neutrality, and verifiability, in alignment with the Wikimedia movement’s core content policies and ethical guidelines:

I acknowledge that my affiliation with the Biodiversity Heritage Library may create a perceived or actual conflict of interest in my Wiki contributions. I commit to transparently declare my affiliation with BHL in relevant discussions and when making contributions that could potentially be influenced by my connection to the organization. I will refrain from editing content where my contributions could be seen as leading to a direct conflict of interest, and I will instead propose changes on talk or discussion pages or through other appropriate Wikipedia channels. My primary goal in contributing to the Wikimedia movement is to share knowledge and resources available through the Biodiversity Heritage Library that are relevant and beneficial to the Wikimedia movement’s mission of providing free, reliable, and neutral information. I will always strive to strictly abide by the accepted practices on conflicts of interest, neutrality, verifiability, notability and no original research of the particular project I am contributing to.

This statement is made in the interest of transparency and to uphold the integrity and quality of the Wikimedia movement as a trusted source of information for the world. My commitment is to contribute to the Wikimedia movement in a manner that respects its values and community guidelines. If you believe I have made an error or violated the community’s norms, please do not hesitate to contact me.
