Grants talk:Project/Rapid/Photowalk and Wikidata of Public Sculptures in Lagos & Southwest Nigeria

Comments from WMF

Hello Yemi festus, thanks for submitting this Rapid Grant request. We are excited that you are planning to organize a photowalk and document the Public Sculptures in Lagos and Southwest Nigeria. I have some questions about your project that I’d like you to respond to:

• 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 community pages on 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.
• In the proposal you mentioned that you have used a SPARQL query to identify the list of articles with missing photos. Could you please provide a link to that query?
• Could you also add the list of places, objects, and sculptures that you plan to photograph during your photowalks?
• Are the four photographers planning to travel to the same places? If so, what is the need of having four people taking photos of the same objects?
• Given the overall goals and the importance of the photowalks you highlighted in the proposal, I don’t think that using only 25% of the photos on other Wikipedia projects is in line with the goals. So please revise and update this target, to use more than 50% of the taken photos on different Wikimedia projects.
• Please respond to question #6.
• Please reduce the contingency costs to 100 USD maximum.
• Could you provide a more detailed breakdown for "Transportation" expenses?

Looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 11:46, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
