Endorsment from Anthere (talk)

This would be the first participation of Madagascar and of Wiki Wake Up. I know they have all the support they need (Georges, Mermoze and Rene Bili) and we will help the best we can to have their first participation be a success. I really hope they will be approved.

Review of Wikidata experience

As this proposal mentions Wikidata, I have reviewed the team members' experience and record on that project.

•  Endorsed chirocca77 has moderate experience editing Wikidata and a clean record. They appear to represent items well and make few mistakes.
• Neutral Anai171 has only minor experience editing Wikidata.
• Neutral Six30 has little experience on any WMF project and none on Wikidata.
• Neutral lalinah has little experience on any WMF project and none on Wikidata.
• Weak oppose Bile_rene has substantial experience on Wikidata, but has a significant number of items deleted for being empty or otherwise non-notable. I see many entries in the abuse filter log for various representation errors. They have a mixed record of responding to feedback (possibly only to feedback in French).
• ? There is no global account for either Mermoze or geurgeor.

@Bovlb global account Adoscam, Geugeor Chirocca77 (talk) 12:05, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

•  Endorsed Adoscam: They have substantial Wikidata experience and a clean block log. They appear to represent items thoroughly and with few errors.
• Neutral Geugeor: They has little Wikidata experience. They have created five items, three of which are well-represented and two of which were empty, now deleted. Other issues have been raised with their edits, but they have not responded to feedback.
