Proposal: Addressing the Lusophone Technological Wishlist Proposals Project
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Hello,

I am applying for the Outreachy internship project “Addressing the Lusophone Technological Wishlist Proposals”.

I completed both microtasks for this project and updated them after feedback.

Repositories:

  1. T418285: https://github.com/Nushrina/outreachy-wikimedia-t418285
  2. T418286: https://github.com/Nushrina/outreachy-wikimedia-t418286

I have a background in software engineering from university, where I worked on programming assignments, web-related work, and solving problems with code. Through this application period, I also learned how to use Phabricator, follow task instructions, and submit my work publicly.

I am especially interested in the duplicate reference detection part of the project because it seems useful for editors and it feels like the kind of problem I would like working on.

If selected, I would first spend time understanding the current workflow and tools, then work on the assigned tasks step by step, test carefully, and improve the work based on feedback.

Thank you.

A small clarification on my proposal: I am most interested in the duplicate reference detection part of the project. What attracts me to it is that it solves a practical editing problem. If duplicate references can be detected more reliably, it could help editors reuse existing references instead of adding the same source again in different forms. From my side, that feels like a useful and concrete improvement to the editing workflow.

Thank you for your proposal and the effort you put into it. This year we received over 20 strong applications, and after a highly competitive review, we were unfortunately unable to offer you a slot.

Please don't see this as a failure, many contributors who weren't selected for Outreachy have gone on to make meaningful, lasting impact in the Wikimedia community, and we genuinely hope you'll stay engaged. You're very welcome to continue contributing outside of Outreachy. Our mentors and org admins are happy to help you get started or keep going:

We hope to see you around in the community.
