Janosh (username: New York-air) has been active on Wikipedia since 2017. He was initially a member of Jungwikipedianer, a German-language community group of young Wikipedia authors. Over time, he took on more administrative tasks in this area and, having previously been active in the field of aviation, is now increasingly involved in recruiting new authors.
He has also been active in the Wiki Loves Broadcast project in the German-speaking community for several years. Since last year, he has been responsible for the internationalization of the project within the project team. Janosh has recently gained some experience in giving workshops on Wikipedia and has also completed a train-the-trainer course in this context.

More and more educational clips from German public service broadcasters are making their way into Wikipedia, improving hundreds of articles and raking in tens of millions of views. This success story would not have been possible without the work of community project “Wiki Loves Broadcast” which helps the broadcasters to identify suitable content for Creative Commons licensing and is responsible for integrating relevant videos into Wikipedia articles. In this session, Wiki Loves Broadcast and Wikimedia Deutschland showcase their work and invite the international Wikipedia community to join a growing effort to bring publicly funded audiovisual content into Wikipedia.
