Diego Delso is known as Poco a poco in Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. In case you don't know, Wikimedia Commons is a media file repository where anyone can share freely-licensed content with everyone. Wikipedia (the free encyclopedia you use every day), and every other Wikimedia project, uses Wikimedia Commons as its image repository, so, in fact, most of the times you view (or download) an image in Wikipedia, you are actually viewing a Wikimedia Commons image. 

While Diego is just one of the thousands of Wikimedia Commons volunteers, he is a very special one: he's one of the main Wikimedia Commons contributors ever, having some amazing records, such as being the user with the highest amount of Featured Pictures (153 images) and quality images (5,777 images). That's an awesome amount of very high quality material, that Diego has given to every living person for free.


Furthermore, Diego has contributed in Wikimedia Commons in other ways. One of them is by supporting (by being an organizer or a jury) two of the most important photographic contests in the Wikimedia movement (and in the world!): Wiki Loves Monuments and Wiki Loves Earth.


Sadly, while Diego was in Buenos Aires after participating in a Wikimedia Iberoamerican meeting with other Wikimedia volunteers, he got his equipment stolen. In this unfortunate event, he didn't only lost his camera, zoom lenses and laptop, but also every single picture he took during his 2 weeks trip in South America, which he was going to upload to Wikimedia Commons so they could be used by everyone, everywhere.


As Wikimedia volunteers and Diego's friends, we could not stand aside of this, so we decided to help him to restore his equipment. You can help, too, by contributing to this campaign!

Our goal is simple: to collect enough money to help Diego to buy exactly the same equipment he lost.

The gear he lost in Argentina is described below, with a reference to the price from Amazon for the same equipment.

Tipo Modelo Preço
Camera body Canon EOS 5D Mark II $ 2,694.00
Objective fisheye f/4.0 Canon EF 8-15mm L USM $ 1,349.00
Objective wide-angle f/4.0 Canon EF 17-40mm L USM $ 839.00
Objective wide-angle to telephoto f/4.0 Canon EF 24-105mm L IS UVM $ 1,149.00
Laptop Acer Aspire 1810T $ 600.00
Total $ 6,631.00

Converted to Euro (since Diego is based in Europe) that goes to 5,300 Euro + 300 euro of Indiegogo fee, which is our target to collect.

Diego Delso es conocido como Poco a poco en Wikipedia y Wikimedia Commons. Por si no lo sabes, Wikimedia Commons es un repositorio multimedia donde cualquier persona puede compartir contenido con licencia libre con todos. Wikipedia (la enciclopedia libre que usas todos los días), al igual que todos los demás proyectos Wikimedia, usa Wikimedia Commons como su repositorio de imágenes, así que, de hecho, la mayoría de veces que ves (o descargas) una imagen de Wikipedia, realmente estás viendo una imagen de Wikimedia Commons. 

A pesar de que Diego es sólo uno de los miles de voluntarios de Wikimedia Commons, es uno muy especial: es uno de los principales contribuyentes a Wikimedia Commons en toda su historia, teniendo algunos récords impresionantes, como ser el usuario con la mayor cantidad de Imágenes Destacadas (153 imágenes) y, al mismo tiempo, la mayor cantidad de Imágenes de Calidad (5,777 imágenes). Es una cantidad sorprendente de material de muy alta calidad, que Diego ha donado a todas las personas del mundo.

Para ir más allá, Diego ha contribuido en Wikimedia Commons de otros modos. Uno de ellos es mediante el apoyo (siendo organizador jurado) a dos de los concursos fotográficos más importantes del movimiento Wikimedia (¡y del mundo!): Wiki Loves Monuments y Wiki Loves Earth.

Lastimosamente, mientras que Diego estaba en Buenos Aires tras participar de un encuentro Iberoamericano de Wikimedistas, personas inescrupulosas robaron su equipo fotográfico. En este evento desafortunado, Diego no sólo perdió su cámara, lentes y computador portátil, sino también todas las fotografías que había tomado durante su viaje de 2 semanas por Sudamérica, que iba a subir a Wikimedia Commons para que pudieran ser usadas por cualquier persona, en cualquier lugar.

Como voluntarios del movimiento Wikimedia y amigos de Diego, no podríamos quedarnos sin hacer nada, así que decidimos ayudarlo a restablecer su equipo. ¡Tú también puedes ayudar contribuyendo a esta campaña!

Nuestra meta es simple: reunir suficiente dinero para ayudar a Diego a comprar de nuevo el equipo que perdió.
