About me

See this page in French

You may know me in the Wikimedia movement as Trizek. I've started editing at French Wikipedia in May 2008, and after multiple adventures, I'm now involved in helping newbies in their first steps.

When I'm not doing stuff about Wikimedia, I like topractice model railroading, play folk music, stage and screen combat (aka "fencing like in movies"), role-playing games and more.

I live in Brittany, France.

My work

I've joined the Wikimedia Foundation in May 2015. I'm part of the Movement Communications team.

Since its inception in July 2018, I'm assisting the Growth team. Since October 2023, I'm also assisting the Editing team.

I discuss with readers, editors, volunteer developers and Wikimedia Foundation's staff so that they can know each other, know what they all do, what they all expect and what they all hope for. I create and facilitate discussions, with a focus on newcomers.

I'm also working on documentation and easing translations or anything else that requires my support. See my assigned tasks. Also, I'm a Global interface editor in order to help Growth and Editing features deployments.

I may not be able to communicate in your language for this mission and I'm sorry about that. Please help me to help you!

Disclaimer: I work for or provide services to the Wikimedia Foundation, and this is the account I try to use for edits or statements I make in that role. However, the Foundation does not vet all my activity, so edits, statements, or other contributions made by this account may not reflect the views of the Foundation.
