>>  *Diego Delso is known as Poco a poco
>> <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Poco_a_poco> in 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 uses
>> Wikimedia Commons as it's image repository*, so, in fact, most of the
>> times you view 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 Commons
>> contributors ever*, having some amazing records, such as being the user
>> with the highest amount of Featured Pictures ever
>> <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Featured_pictures_by_creator> (153
>> images) and also the one with the highest amount of quality images ever,
>> with 5,777 Quality Images
>> <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Quality_images_by_User:Poco_a_poco>.
>> That's an awesome amount of very high quality material, that Diego has
>> given to every living person for free.
>>
>>  Never heard about *Wikimedia Commons*? It's the repository that hosts
>> all*multimedia files* that you can see (and download) in *Wikipedia *and
>> all other Wikimedia projects. Diego's files are used in those projects and
>> are also available for everybody else with a free license.
>>
>>
>>  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 Encounter 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.
>>
>>  All the gear he lost in Argentina is described below, with a reference
>> to the price from Amazon for the same equipment.
