How Zana became wikipedian?<\/strong>
\nI become wikipedian after I found out that anyone can edit Wikipedia, but also that some themes which were my favorite, were not covered on Macedonian Wikipedia. In the period when I started editing, I spent my evenings at home, so Wikipedia became my evening pastime. Wikipedia is addictive, you know?<\/p>\n

How popular is Wikipedia in North Macedonia?<\/strong>
\nWikipedia is popular everywhere in the world, I think. In North Macedonia Wikipedia is one of the most visited sites. Also, students from Secondary and High schools use Wikipedia as a source while trying to read more on the school\u2019s subjects. The popularity of Wikipedia is evident also via newspapers or portals, because the journalists use Wikipedia as a source for some of their texts.<\/p>\n

What events you organise and other initiatives?<\/strong>
\nI am active Wikipedian from 2009, but I started to organize events from 2014. In the last 6 years, I took part, created or organized many events connected to Wikipedia, such as: several \u201cWiki loves\u2026\u201d contests, Wiki Women, Wiki Camps, edit-a-thons, Wiki Clubs, seven of them all over North Macedonia. As a president of GLAM Macedonia user group, I am involved in almost any activities held by the GLAM Macedonia members. I have to say that we work with GLAM institutions from the beginning: The State Archives of North Macedonia, City Library in Skopje, Institute for Macedonian History, several museums, Hydro-biological Institute in Ohrid and other relative institutes.<\/p>\n

And what is the most important and interesting in Wikipedia for yourself?<\/strong>
\nThe growing community, friends from all over the world, knowledge that I get while editing articles.<\/p>\n

Your greetings to your wiki friends?<\/strong>
\nMy favorite greeting to all wiki friends: Let\u2019s make Wikipedia a place where reliable and accurate information can be read.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
