Ferfive Coronado
I’m a graduate in Art Studies and Cultural Management, and I started my Wikimedia journey at 18 in 2021 through the Wiki Education programme by Wikimedia México. I was the first at my university to complete a social service project with Wikimedia, which greatly shaped my relationship with the movement. As a member of Wikimedia México, I’ve contributed to projects like Memories on Wheels: The Evolution of Ancient and Classic Automobiles in Aguascalientes, combining my academic background with my passion for history and digital archiving. I edit in Spanish, English, and French, focusing on art, culture, anime, comics, antique cars, and my home state, Aguascalientes, and enjoy uploading photos to Wikimedia Commons.
I’ve contributed to events such as Wiki Loves México 2021, EAyGC Patrimonio Cultural and EAyGC Arte Mexicano in 2022, Editatón Filósofas, Artistas y Pensadoras 2024, and Juntas en Internet 2024, promoting women’s visibility. As a speaker, I presented at 5to Encuentro de Wiki Educación 2024 and Wikiconference North America 2024. I was also Executive Producer for Editatón Artistas de Aguascalientes 2024. In2025, I volunteered at Wikimedia+Libraries International Convention and am the lead organiser for Wiki Loves Folklore in Mexico. I attended Wikimania 2024 online and will be part of the Youth Conference Prague 2025, discussing the role of youth in Wikimedia.
