Chris "Jethro" Schilling Community Organizer, Wikimedia Foundation

About me Hey folks. Since 2006, my curiosity has kept me engaged with the English Wikipedia under the username I JethroBT. I've contributed and worked together with editors in a variety of areas such as building high quality articles, community building, and developing help spaces. Before working with the WMF, I taught and studied cognitive science and psychology. After graduating, I spent time coordinating successful edit-a-thons and GLAM events in the Chicago metropolitan area. I've been living in Chicago since 2009 and I love it here. When I'm not editing, you are likely to find me contra dancing or practicing taiko here in the city, two vibrant folk traditions supported by fantastic communities. Stay curious!

My work With the Community Resources team, my role will be to promote and support the grants program so that we can continue to elevate strong and innovative ideas from and for the editing community. Here are some projects I've co-created or heavily participated in: The Co-op WikiProject GLAM/Pritzker Military Museum & Library The Teahouse Moodbar Feedback Disclaimer: I work for or provide services to the Wikimedia Foundation, and this is the account I try to use for edits or statements I make in that role.
