Stats Actions log Global accounts Global Contribs Edit counter (enwiki) Edit counter (commons) Articles created Senior Editor II Veteran Administrator III Hi, I’m Rehman. I was born in Manama, Bahrain, and now live in Colombo, Sri Lanka. I have been an active contributor to Wikimedia projects since 2008, with a focus on renewable energy, infrastructure, and Sri Lankan geography—reflecting my interests in solar and wind power, dams, rivers, and environmental documentation. Much of my work on Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons centres around these topics. Beyond editing articles, I am deeply involved in technical and community work. I develop and maintain Wikidata-driven infoboxes, navigation templates, and other tools, including being the main contributor to the Infobox Power Station. I am an administrator on both the English Wikipedia (since 2016) and Wikimedia Commons (since 2011), where I support content moderation, policy enforcement, and community workflows. I also created Commons’ Criteria for Speedy Deletion (CSD) to improve administrative efficiency. I founded and lead the Wikimedia Community User Group Sri Lanka (UG-LK), working across Sri Lanka’s three main language groups to support outreach, organise photowalks, run Wiki Loves Earth contests, and promote Wikimedia participation nationwide. Our projects, including long-term environmental photography initiatives, contribute millions of page views each year across 140+ wikis. Outside Wikimedia, my professional background includes stock market, banking, renewable energy, cybersecurity, and knowledge management. My personal interests include cycling, hiking, travelling, photography, stargazing, community outreach, and building computers. If you are passionate about topics related to Sri Lanka, or would like to contribute more actively, consider joining UG-LK or our mailing list, Wikimedia-LK. We welcome editors of all backgrounds and skill levels. If you ever need confidential assistance, including help dealing with harassment or cyberbullying, feel free to contact me privately—I'm always happy to help where I can.

Today's motto... Why watch television when you can use Wikipedia? Today's Featured Article Donkey Kong is a video game series and media franchise created by the Japanese game designer Shigeru Miyamoto for Nintendo. It follows the adventures of Donkey Kong, a large, powerful gorilla, and other members of the Kong family of simians. Donkey Kong games include the original arcade game trilogy by Nintendo R&D1, the Donkey Kong Country series by Rare and Retro Studios, and the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series by Nintendo Software Technology. The main Donkey Kong games are platform games in which the player must reach the end of a level. Donkey Kong appears as the antagonist or protagonist; his role alternates between games. The original Donkey Kong, released in 1981, was Nintendo's first major international success. The franchise has pioneered or popularized concepts such as in-game storytelling and pre-rendered graphics, inspired other games (including clones), and influenced popular culture. (Full article...)

Picture of the Day The red-necked grebe (Podiceps grisegena) is a species of water bird in the grebe family, Podicipedidae, found across the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. It breeds on shallow freshwater lakes, marshes and ponds, and winters mainly along sheltered coasts and other large bodies of water. In breeding plumage, adults have a black cap, pale grey face and throat, and a rusty-red neck, while winter birds are duller grey. The species is a strong swimmer and diver, feeding on fish, aquatic insects and other invertebrates. Red-necked grebes build floating nests among emergent vegetation, and newly hatched chicks often ride on their parents' backs. It is classified as a least-concern species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. This red-necked grebe of the subspecies P. g. grisegena in breeding plumage was photographed in Amager Common, a park and nature reserve in Copenhagen, Denmark.
