Report Accepted[edit]

Thank you for this clear and thorough report. Your report is accepted. It's great to hear you are now financially healthy! We have a few comments and questions below and would appreciate your response.

  1. What was WMCL's contribution to Recognizing our Monuments? What happened with the content from the contest? Alex Wang (WMF) (talk) 19:43, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  2. What are your thoughts about the future of the Wikipedia in University program? Are you planning to expand it to more schools or will you continue at your current level? Alex Wang (WMF) (talk) 19:43, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Congrats on a successful WLM! We are especially impressed that 151 new articles about monuments were created through the associated edit-a-thon. Do you know how many photos have been integrated on wiki projects? Using the Glamorous Tool is an effective way to measure the impact of photo projects. Alex Wang (WMF) (talk) 19:43, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Regarding the decline in participation for WLM, many grantees are facing the same challenge and I will initiate a discussion on the Wiki Loves Monuments mailing list to share ideas on how to address this. Please watch the list for more information. Alex Wang (WMF) (talk) 19:05, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Has the WikiVoyage contest started? Alex Wang (WMF) (talk) 19:43, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  6. We're sorry to hear you had problems with the education extension. We have reached out to the appropriate team at WMF to provide you some support. If you have problems in the future, please reach out to us so we can help you resolve them. Alex Wang (WMF) (talk) 19:43, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  7. Regarding bank transfer fees, in future you should estimate these costs and include them in your grant proposal budget. For now, please estimate what the charges will be for the remaining payments and we can augment the grant total to cover all the fees. Once you have the estimate, please leave a comment on the discussion page of your grant requesting an increase in the budget total.
Dear Alex, sorry for not replying to your questions earlier. Many of them have already been answer in our final report.--3BRBS (talk) 02:39, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Subtotals[edit]

It would be helpful if you used subtotals for each of the aggregate points. Adding up mentally is boring. Also, you clearly have a typo: $41,130,285 is more than the total, you probably have 3 excess digits. --Nemo 16:24, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Nemo for pointing this out. You were correct, and after consulting the WMF, the typo was fixed.--3BRBS (talk) 02:33, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
