SGrabarczuk (WMF)

Szymon will be away on holiday from December 19 until January 8 and may not respond swiftly to queries. (Do not be misled by this standard template. "May not respond swiftly" - honestly, I will not be logging in at all. Instead, I'll be reading D&D 5e books and listening to some Finnish metal music. À bientôt!)

My Work

I care for connections between the communities and the Wikimedia Foundation Product and Technology teams. In particular, I invite questions and comments about Temporary Accounts, the Vector 2022 skin, text readability, dark mode, and Charts.

Do you need any help related to the projects mentioned above? Would you like to get involved? Talk to me. In your or any other language. Don't worry if you don't speak English or you're not comfortable using it.

About Me

I was born and spent many years in Lublin, Poland. Next, I moved to Warsaw, and here I settled. My given name is Greek or Hebrew, my family name is of West Ukrainian origin, but I'm a Pole.

In 2010, I joined the Polish Wikipedia community as Tar Lócesilion. Since then, I have made thousands of edits. I became an admin of Polish Wikipedia, and years later, the Vice-Chair & Secretary of Wikimedia Polska. I was part of the Wikimania 2024 Core Organizing Team.

I like food and coffee, walking, hiking, and nature; I like visiting museums at a slow pace; I like well-designed cities and clothing, sustainable transport, languages, books, and my wife. I don't like long winter nights or dirty floor.

However, the Foundation does not vet all my activity, and edits, statements, or other contributions made by this account may not reflect the views of the Foundation.
