Hi there! I'm Khant, or User:KhantWiki across the Wikimedia platforms. My journey with Meta-Wiki is deeply intertwined with my belief in the transformative power of open knowledge. It’s not just about creating and sharing information; it’s about how we connect through knowledge, bridging gaps and creating a space where everyone feels empowered to contribute. I’m passionate about supporting the Wikimedia community and am driven by the idea that we can build a space that’s as inclusive, collaborative, and supportive as the knowledge we share.
I’m committed to making sure that the stories from my homeland, Myanmar, are heard and understood across the globe. I want to create a lasting impact, where people come together to share ideas, discover new perspectives, and work toward a shared vision. The beauty of the Wikimedia movement lies in its ability to unite us, using knowledge as the bond, and I’m honored to contribute to that vision. Through my work on Meta, I aim to foster meaningful collaboration that advances the mission of free knowledge for all.
About Me
I’m Khant, known as User:KhantWiki, and my contributions across the Wikimedia platforms reflect my dedication to knowledge sharing, particularly in areas that are meaningful to me—Myanmar’s history, culture, and social issues. I’ve always believed that open knowledge has the power to inform, educate, and bring about positive change, and that’s at the heart of everything I do here. As someone who sees the value in connecting global communities through knowledge, I am committed to building bridges between Wikimedia projects, fostering collaboration, and sharing Myanmar’s diverse heritage with the world.
