"ich gestehe den schönsten tag seit vielen jahren, eine langsame sünde wider den eiligen geist" (I confess to the best day since many years, a slow sin against the hasty ghost) - Armin Steigenberger

About me

I came late to the Wikimedia projects and started editing the German Wikipedia under the nickname of Kritzolina in January 2014. I was soon intrigued by the possibilties and chances of the technical side of Wikipedia and very fascinated by the people working on the projects. I like to contribute to articles about poetry but get easily distracted by other interesting things. I also upload pictures of poets and beautiful or interesting places I visit to commons. I studied social work and have quite a bit of work experience in that field. In my free time, when I do not work for Wikimedia Projects I do try my hand at poetry myself.

My work

I am a Senior Program Officer, Peer Support with the Wikimedia Foundation. I try to help. Volunteers. Staff members of the Foundation. Other people interested in the Wikiverse. To get connected. To understand each other better. To work well together. To learn and to share knowledge. To feel good and stay safe doing all this.

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.
