Question about arwiki itslef[edit]

Hello Abdallahbigboy is there any coordination with Arabic Wikipedia community? experienced users? any thing? as arwiki have flagged revisions system, so any edit should be reviewed by user with editor flag (and the new pages in the same way), also the coordination will help to avoid deletion of the articles that you'll create, also avoid blocking of users and not considered as spams or machine translations. Finally, I see that you and others have 0 edits in arwiki! @Helmoony and Mervat: what you think? --Alaa :)..! 08:35, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you @علاء: for pinging me, I don't see either experienced editors from Chad on Arabic Wikipedia. @Abdallahbigboy: is it possible to contact me by email. I want to review your educational material (presentation, article structure, ..). Each Wikipedia version has it's own specific policies, templates and bots. Our main concern is to avoid having those created articles removed within few minutes. --Helmoony (talk) 13:43, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you @علاء: for attracting our attention to this intended activity. I also believe they have to do some coordination with the community. It's important to know what they will add, edit, review, approve, so their efforts are not lost for any reason. --Mervat (talk) 14:31, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from WMF[edit]

Hello Abdallahbigboy, thank you for clarifying the grantee for this grant. I have some follow up questions for you:

  1. Can you please answer علاء's question above?
  2. For these types of events it would really be helpful to have a list of articles you're planning to improve or subject areas you would like to work on. I understand in general you're working on Chad but can you specify what themes or areas you'll be focusing on for the different events?
  3. Can you please list the usernames of the experienced Wikimedians helping with this event in your proposal?
  4. Are you planning on having a total of 20 participants or 20 participants at each event?
  5. Can you break-down further what "Communications et sensibilisation" is? Are you planning to give gifts to every participant? Will there be prizes for specific volunteers who have certain achievements?

Looking forward to your answers to these questions. I will also send you an email in regards to a previous grant. Best regards, WJifar (WMF) (talk) 05:53, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Moved to draft[edit]

Hello Abdallahbigboy, we have not heard from you for 2 weeks and there have been multiple requests from Arabic Wikipedia contributors asking about how you will coordinate with them in adding new content. Thus, I'm moving your request to draft for now until we receive answers to our questions and you have addressed the other community members' concerns. Best regards, WJifar (WMF) (talk) 01:41, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
