Grant approval notification

Dear @Elwinlhq,

Congratulations! Your application has been approved for the requested amount of 4,475.24 EURO.

We applaud your submission of this project, which represents the next stage of the previously funded initiative, "Giving Voices to the Quechua Collao Vocabulary on Wikimedia Commons." Your proposal is solid and clear, with challenging objectives that have a broad scope to revitalize the Quechua language of Puno.

We recognize your experience as a linguist, a Wikimedian, and a seasoned project leader. We appreciate the sensitivity and knowledge with which you have engaged the community. Additionally, we highlight the importance of the second component of your project, which focuses on training Quechua speakers to use tools to generate content within Wikimedia projects.

The strength of your project's partnerships with organizations that share an interest in language revitalization and work in the communities where the project will be conducted is commendable.

Lastly, we are eager to support your efforts and learn from your project. You will soon receive an email with the steps to follow to continue the funding process.

Dear @MCasoValdes (WMF),

thank you very much for the positive news and for the kind words about the project. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to continue the work on the Puno Quechua language and its communities with the support of the Wikimedia Foundation.

I am excited to get started, and I have just completed the instruction on Fluxx to complete the funding process.

Thank you again for your support.

Hi @Elwinlhq, I have been trying to communicate with you and have not received any answer, you have deleted twice my message in your discussion page in Meta. Last year more than 3400 files were uploaded to Wikimedia Commons through Lingua Libre with mistakes. As you were in charge of the project, I would like to kindly ask you to help us correct the problems created by:

1. Renaming the Puno Quechua recordings as they were incorrectly named with ISO 639-3 que instead of qxp (Puno Quechua).
2. Replacing the template {{Lingua Libre record}} and insert a new template like this in order to correct the same mistake noted in the point above.
