Chair, Iranian Wikimedians UG

I am a friend to truth, and foe to wrong. I do not wish the strong to oppress the weak, nor the weak to overpower the strong. I seek what is right. I am no friend to those who follow lies.

— DNb inscription, Darius I

About me

I'm Mohammad, a long-time contributor to Wikimedia projects since 2008, with a focus on Wikipedia, Wikidata, and Wikisource. My username, Darafsh, is inspired by the legendary Derafsh Kaviani. I hold a degree in Ancient History from the University of Tehran, and I'm currently pursuing my studies in Manuscript Cultures at the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures, University of Hamburg.

My work

I co-founded the Iranian Wikimedians User Group in 2015. From 2023 to 2025, I served as the lead coordinator of the Tajik Wikimedians User Group. As of 2025, I am a board member and currently serve as the Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Iranian Wikimedians User Group (2025–2027).
