Just as this K-1 cart braves the rugged hills and solemn valleys, so too shall I press onward, threading the silver wires of wisdom through the land, that light and learning may follow in my wake.

Kaliper1, also known as K1, is a Wikipedian editor who has been editing articles since 25 June 2020. Kaliper1 began contributing to various Wikimedia sites by initially focusing on making minor improvements such as correcting grammatical errors, adding citations, fixing formatting, adding category and image tags, captions, and links. This hobby served as a pastime after half-retiring from other endeavors. However, due to the upheaval of 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic, kaliper1 found themselves with an abundance of free time, leading to feelings of boredom and a desire to make a positive impact on the world. As a result, they turned their attention towards contributing to Wikipedia and other related sites, with the aim of making meaningful contributions to the broader online community.

Persons of interests in China

One of the first image/texts edits I've done in Wikipedia was concerning persons of interests in China. Specifically 1920-1940s Manchukuo and Northeast China. I've initially chosen this due to the fact that I was returning back from Beijing. Visiting Museums, Universities (Jilin and Northeast), Old Buildings, and Religious sites in northeast china, that's plastered with history, intrigues me. And during my time there, I've had uploaded photos on Baidu baike (Chinese: 百度百科; pinyin: Bǎidù Bǎikē; lit. 'Baidu Encyclopedia'), A chinese version of Wikipedia per-say. Mainly about unknown and obscure old photos catalogued in museums from the 1920-40's. As of now i've only uploaded Pictures of Feng Yong (Chinese: 馮庸) and Ying Qianli (Chinese: 英千里) from my Baidu baike postings and scouring. So far also i'm planning to add all of my picture postings in Baidu baike site to wikipedia for the world to see. On 2024, I've revisited China, specifically in the Dunhuang area where I traversed the via a local bus. This visit was specifically towards interest within the Silk road, eventually reaching Xi'an. Most of my photos was corrupted due to a damaged SD drive, but thankfully some was managed to get extracted. I'll upload some here at commons.

Everything Timor-Leste

I have had the opportunity to contribute to the Wikipedia pages related to Timor-Leste, a small country situated between Indonesia and Australia. Specifically, my focus has been on editing and improving the political and geographical sections of these pages. One significant challenge I encountered was the scarcity of information on the English version of the Timor-Leste Wiki in comparison to the more extensive and detailed German Wiki pages. To address this disparity, I decided to translate relevant pages from German to English, which allowed me to make meaningful contributions to the English language wiki community. I noticed that there were far more German language Wikis about Timor-Leste than English, and the Indonesian Wiki was highly underdeveloped. Given that I had some understanding of the German language, albeit a bit rusty and not in use for a long time, I decided to contribute my skills and knowledge to this cause. Thus far, I have been able to make a meaningful contribution by translating and expanding several Wiki pages related to Timor-Leste by also joining WikiProject East Timor.

One out of many examples of the changes I made to these Wiki pages can be seen in the pages for KOTA, PUN, and PST, where I added detailed information on the geography and politics of these regions. I find Timor-Leste to be a fascinating country with a rich cultural history and also personal history! In which, motivated me to contribute to these Wiki pages. I wish to visit Timor-Leste one last time. However, that is a story for another time. In the meantime, I hope others can appreciate the work that I, and many others, have done to improve the quality and depth of information available on Timor-Leste.
