Request Extension

Good day YPam My project was originally expected to commence last month. However, due to a delay in the delivery of funds caused by technical issues, the money only arrived two days ago, thereby postponing the project's starting date. In light of this, I am kindly requesting an extension for the project to begin on the 15th of this month, October. This extension will enable us to properly plan and ensure a successful delivery. Bembety (talk) 19:49, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello @Bembety . thank you for confirming your receipt of funds. Good to learn that the technical hitches have been resolved. Regarding your project start date, because the grant agreement has already been signed, the start date cannot be changed. An extension to your project end date is possible instead. As the project will begin exactly one month later, the new project end date will now be December 17, 2023. Please confirm that this works and we can update the end dates to reflect. Thank you.

It is Okay by me. thank you. Bembety (talk) 15:43, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

w:en:Wikipedia:OABOT

I see you plan to make new users edit Wikipedia. Have you considered making them start with some assisted editing? For example OAbot is a tool to quickly edit references. It's educational on multiple fronts (templates, reliable sources, systemic bias, copyright) and can make the participants feel some sense of accomplishment quite quickly. PubMed and PubMedCentral are often involved, giving an obvious medical angle. Nemo 20:22, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
