San Francisco, September xx, 2010
I am delighted to write this letter on behalf of Fajar Intan, to outline his significant contribution as a participant in "Bebaskan Pengetahuan 2010" (Free Your Knowledge 2010), a writing competition for Wikipedia Indonesia, from April 1 to June 16, 2010.
The "Bebaskan Pengetahuan 2010" (BP2010) is a three month program developed by Wikimedia Indonesia to leverage public participation to improve Indonesian language Wikipedia articles. It is a pilot project to introduce the Wikimedia "Free Knowledge" mission worldwide. The ultimate goal is to provide an open source of information for everyone. The competition targets talented young writers from Universities and partners with mainstream media. By providing information and inspiring discourse, Wikimedia is hoping to promote a stronger demand for improved information and increased community participation from the local to national level.
Fajar was introduced to the program by Wikimedia Indonesia's letter of invitation. Each University is permitted to submit no more than nine of their best students to compete as participants on behalf of the University. As one of the chosen nine, Fajar competed on behalf of the Faculty of Communication, majoring in Public Relations at The London School of Public Relations, Jakarta. According to the Project Director supervisor Siska Doviana, during his three months competition, Fajar was a hard working and persistent participant. He also shows a strong desire to grow and improve. The Jury also responded with positive feedback, noting that his articles were interesting to read.
Fajar successfully wrote 26 (twenty-six) high-quality articles within 72 days of competition. Fajar's long and short articles were consistent, covering specific topics including high-profile celebrities, singers, and models. Fajar's hard work culminated in his successful completion of the competition; he became one of only seventeen participants in Indonesia (out of an initial 90) who managed to complete the demanding three month competition.
We would like to congratulate Fajar for his achievement and his tireless work to improving and creating articles. Wikimedia wishes him success in his future endeavors.
- Sincerely,
- Sue Gardner
