San Francisco, September xx, 2010

I am delighted to write this letter on behalf of Wahyudi Pradana, to outline his significant contribution as a participant in "Bebaskan Pengetahuan 2010" (Free Your Knowledge 2010), a writing competition in Indonesian language Wikipedia with Wikimedia Indonesian from April 1 to June 16, 2010.

The "Bebaskan Pengetahuan 2010" (BP2010) is a three month program developed by Wikimedia Indonesia to leverage public participation to improve Indonesian language Wikipedia articles. It is a pilot project to introduce the Wikimedia mission "Free Knowledge" worldwide. The ultimate goal is to provide an open source of information for everyone. The competition targets talented young writers from Universities and partners with mainstream media. By providing information and inspiring discourse, Wikimedia is hoping to promote a stronger demand for improved information and increased community participation from the local to national level.

Wahyudi became interested in joining the program after seeing a poster advertisement, his participation was then confirmed by his university after an internal filtering. Each University is permitted to submit no more than nine of their best students as participants to compete on behalf of the University. As one of the chosen nine, Wahyudi competed on behalf of the Faculty of Computer Science majoring in Accounting Computerization, BINUS University, Jakarta. According to the Project Director supervisor Siska Doviana, during his three months competition, Wahyudi has been resourceful, productive, a fast learner and a persistent participant. Some of the positive feedback he receives from the Jury regarding to his articles were "comprehensive", "interesting", and "delightful to read".

Wahyudi successfully wrote 133 (one hundred and thirty three) high-quality articles within 72 days of competition. Wahyudi's long and short articles were consistent, covering specific topics of Korean culture, culinary, and historical places. Wahyudi's hard work culminated in his achievement to be in the top four and the successful completion of the competition; he became one of only seventeen participants in Indonesia (out of an initial 90) who managed to complete the demanding three month competition.

We would like to congratulate Wahyudi for his achievement and his tireless work to improving and creating articles. Wikimedia wishes his success in his future endeavors.

Sincerely,
Sue Gardner
Executive Director Wikimedia Foundation
