Grants talk:Project/Rapid/Eukoha/Photowalk at South East Nigeria

Comments from WMF

Hello Eukoha, thanks for submitting this Rapid Grant application. We are excited that you are planning to run another series of photowalks to document significant monuments, building, and other landmarks of Nigeria. I have reviewed your submission and have the following questions and requests:

• We now require all grantees to announce their projects and receive the community feedback in advance. Could you please announce this project and grant on the relevant Nigerian community pages of the target wikis? Community notification may be most appropriate on a village pump, talk page, or mailing list. Please paste a link into the proposal page to where the relevant communities have been notified of this proposal, and to any other relevant community discussions.
• How are you going to recruit new editors and photographers for your project if you have already selected the participants?
• Please confirm that local travel between states of Nigeria is permitted given the COVID-19 restrictions.

Looking forward to your responses. Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 08:57, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Response

Hello DSaroyan (WMF), below are my responses to your comments.

• Done, see the link here
• The selected participants are only the forerunner of the project, those that will move around. At each respective state, we will be moving with fellow photographers to document and also create awareness about contributing to Wikimedia commons. With that we will be providing awareness and recruiting photographers for the projects. One major thing that will drive recruiting is creating awareness as many photographers down in southeast don't even know that they upload their images to a Wikimedia platform.
• Yes, local travels can still go on in Nigeria.

Thank you as a await your further responses. Eukoha (talk) 14:03, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
