Lajmmoore
My name is Lucy and I learnt to edit Wikipedia in 2019. I routinely edit with Wikiproject Women in Red, and have now written a biography for a woman from every country in the world. I have also worked as a Wikimedian in Residence, both for the National Trust and for LEEDS 2023. From 2021 to 2023 I was on the NW Europe Grants Comittee and in 2024 I joined the Wikimedia UK Community Development Committee.
Sessions
The Lightning Talk Showcases are a fun, fast-paced afternoon event filled with 5-minute lightning talks in rapid succession on a range of topics. Wikimania Nairobi will have two Lightning Talks Showcase sessions to highlight some of the most compelling concepts and powerful thinking developing across the Wikimedia Movement.

You've heard of photowalks, now how about a smell-walk?
Smell walks are a way to record the smells in a particular area, at a particular time, by a particular person. Whilst Wikimedians are used to photowalks, this session will workshop how we can record information from a smellwalk using Wikimedia projects. I will introduce the topic, with ideas for how I think it could work, then we will do a short smell walk together - either in the venue or outside - and then we will return to the conference room and discuss whether the method works and potentially explore other ideas for the future.
