Hi Dsaroyan, I saw that you changed the status of this grant to not funded due to Incomplete Application. Please I have few questions if you don't mind

  • If I may ask, which part is incomplete?
  • Can I reapply for this same grant after making corrections to the part you deem incomplete?

Thanks for time. Best regards Lordgentual (talk) 13:32, 1 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi Lordgentual, thanks for the ping. Before marking it as 'incomplete', I have sent you an email with details. Please check if you can see it. If you can't, I can also post the reasons here. And of course, you can make additional changes and resubmit it this month. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 13:51, 1 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Changes made[edit]

Hi DSaroyan (WMF), I have effected the changes you requested for in the mail you sent to me. Please I would appreciate a feedback if this is now looking like a complete application. Kindly let me know if there are some changes I'm still supposed to make. Thanks for your time. Lordgentual (talk) 08:05, 4 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Not funded[edit]

Hi Lordgentual, thanks for updating the proposal with more details. We have reviewed it and unfortunately, we won't be able to fund it at this time either. I have two main reasons for my decision:

  • Firstly, your activities do not match the project goals. Your goals are to run online and offline promotional activities, while in the activities and schedule sections you only plan to run training and editing sessions.
  • You plan to run a 2 day event. Each day you will have two hours of sessions and 30 minutes of breaks. However, in these 4 hours you plan to train participants on how to edit Wikipedia, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Commons, as well as have an editathon and edit Wikidata and Wikipedia (30 minutes per day). I don't think that this plan is feasible.

I think that the project goals, schedule, and impact should be revised. You are welcome to make these revisions and resubmit the proposal next month. Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 11:27, 29 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
