Comments from DSaroyan (WMF)[edit]
Hello Psalmbusy, thanks for submitting this Rapid Fund request. We are glad to learn that you are planning to run a series of follow-up training sessions after successfully completing the Instagram campaign. I have a few comments and requests after reviewing your application:
- Please share the Risk Assessment tool document, so that it is accessible to everyone through the link.
- Done, as the Risk Assessment document is now made open.
- What will be the event location?
- The event location will be at Lagos, Nigeria.
- Do you have a schedule for your training sessions?
- Yes, i just created one now on the grant page.
- How will you track participants’ contributions? Additionally, will you prepare a list of suggested articles?
- Contributions will be tracked using the outreach dashboard created already here and yes suggested articles will be curated as that's ongoing.
- The target wikis you mentioned are Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, and Wikidata.
- In which languages will you edit on Wikipedia?
- The edit will be mainly on the English Wikipedia.
- Could you please add relevant targets for Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata to the Impact section?
- Relevant sections target have been adjusted.
- You mentioned that there would be 30 participants in each event. Does this number also include the number of organizers?
Budget:
- For this, i omitted the 4 organizers and have reviewed it to reflect as atleaast 30 new participants will be present excluding the organizers.
- I think the Space rental price is high. Could you please provide a link to the event space you will be renting?
- The rental space is even discounted as the space comes with power, projector and other audio appliances; see a link to the proposed rental space here couple with the price.
- How many times do you plan to offer food to participants?
- The food will be served to the participants once each day but aside the food, the food and drinks budget also covers the tea break.
- Since you will offer branded noses and certificates to the participants, please reduce the prize budget to 200 USD.
- Alright, the prize budget has been reduced to 200 USD as advised.
Looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 13:14, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

- Hello Psalmbusy, thanks for your responses.
- I see that you have reduced the prize amount but instead increased the food costs. I think this is not a constructive approach. Please reduce the food costs to 10 USD per person. Please update the total requested budget once updates are made.
- The space you are planning to rent offers internet and router to access internet. I don't understand why you are planning to rent an additional router and purchase internet data. Could you please explain?
- Looking forward to your response. Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 11:28, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you DSaroyan (WMF) for the review and additional comments.
- Sorry about the misunderdtanding but I did not increase the food cost at all, I only added 4 more numbers to total people so to reflect the organizers as it was ommitted initially and you pointed it out. It was initially 30 participants and hence I added 4(organizers/facilitator) to reflect the organizers, sorry about the misunderstanding but I have reduced the cost to 10 USD each since you insisted even though the cost of 12 USD initially was calculated to cover the food, drinks and tea break.
- The hall space internet is actually down/poor hence the discount to 170 USD instead of the 196 USD advertised on the website since we will be providing our better internet.
- Thanks and please let me know if you have any more questions. Best regards Psalmbusy (talk) 13:16, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
