JAMES JOSHUA G. LIM Age: 24 || Location: Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines / Singapore || Wikipedian since: April 7, 2005

Wikimedia experience
I bring ten years (and counting!) of solid Wikipedia and Wikimedia experience. I found Wikipedia in the United States, but I grew up as a Wikipedian in the Philippines, making me intimately familiar with the issues the movement faces in the developing world while remaining cognizant of the differing nuances of the movement in the developed world.

Movement experience
I have been engaged with the Wikimedia movement as a political entity since 2010, when Wikimedia Philippines was first established after leading its establishment since 2006. Since then, I've done major work advancing the movement in the Philippines, Asia and worldwide.


 * Member of the Affiliations Committee (February 2013–present)
 * Liaised, advised and supported affiliates in seventeen countries, including five in Southeast Asia, on matters such as affiliate setup, offline engagement, and legal strategy.
 * Advised the Wikimedia Foundation on global affiliate strategy, capacity building and community engagement.


 * Founder of Wikimedia Philippines (May 2010–present)
 * Drafted the organization’s Strategic Plan, overseeing projects worth over $150,000 over four years in concurrent roles as President (2010–2011), Vice President (2011–2012) and Secretary (2013–2014). Currently I am a regular member of the organization's Board of Trustees.
 * Promoted readership and editorship of the Wikimedia projects in the Philippines, growing awareness of the projects and the organization, and fostering good will between with other affiliates worldwide. Organized Wikipedia Takes Manila in 2011 and oversaw the community for the recently-concluded Cultural Heritage Mapping Project (CHMP).

Visits to communities
Since 2011, I have made it a point to learn more about Wikimedia communities worldwide to not only better understand them, but also to bring back valuable lessons on how to advance the movement to the Philippines, where they are really needed. In exchange, I also give insights to these communities on how the movement operates in the Philippines, building valuable bridges in the process. To date, I have visited communties in ten countries.


 * Poland, United Kingdom, Hungary, Czech Republic, Serbia, Republic of Macedonia, Indonesia, Singapore, United States, Armenia

Professional experience
I seek to help shape the future of interpersonal interaction between users, building on 5+ years of experience growing, both on- and offline, digital communities grounded on effective conversation. My work in community management, in fact, was shaped by the Wikimedia movement.


 * Chief Advocate at HackLaunch
 * Laid down the groundwork for the site's community engagement strategy (in progress)


 * Community Manager at Viddsee
 * Managed the site’s social media presence, e-mail marketing and first-level customer support, building an environment of instant daily communication with users where before this was not present.
 * Devised and implemented a user engagement plan, increasing social media user engagement by 25%.

Education
I have been educated in four different countries, giving me a well-rounded educational background in both the developing and developed worlds.


 * Ateneo de Manila University (June 2009–March 2014)
 * Dean’s Lister, Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, Major in Global Politics, Minor in Chinese Studies
 * Sun Yat-sen University (April 2011–May 2011)
 * ADMU–SYSU Summer Cultural Exchange Program in Chinese Studies
 * University of Warsaw (September 2011–July 2012)
 * Bachelor of Arts in International Relations (English Language Program; on exchange)
 * Kyushu University (February 2013–March 2013)
 * ASEAN in Today’s World (AsTW) Program in Southeast Asian Studies

Academic work
Wikipedia is at the core of my academic work, where I seek to find intersections between the social relations and power structures of online communities, technology and its relationship with the developing world, and the future of the Internet as a medium of expression for the un(der)represented, interconnecting them with political theory and the study of international relations.
