User:OhanaUnited/Sister Projects Interview

Wikimedia Sister Projects

Are you an administrator or a bureaucrat of a Wikimedia sister projects (e.g. Wikiversity, Wikispecies, Wikibooks, etc.)? Do you want more people to understand the project you participate in and hope that more people will be interested in these projects? Look no further!

I am planning to run a weekly series of Signpost interviews on these sister projects. The interview will be done via email. Preferably, the interviewee should be an admin or bureaucrat because while most are general or background questions, some questions may be on administrative tasks performed in these projects. Since the interview will be conducted in English, the interviewee should be familiar with the English section of that sister project (unless the project is language-independent, such as commons or wikispecies).

If you are interested to take part in this interview, please sign up below. An email will be sent to you with further details.
