Comments from WMF[edit]
Hi Tanvir Rahman, thanks for submitting this Rapid Grant request. It is great to learn that you are planning to run an article contest to improve the articles of Bengla Wikipedia. I reviewed this proposal and have a few questions:
- Do you request this grant on behalf of any Wikimedia affiliate?
- You mentioned that you expect to have 100+ participants, while the number of certificates you budgeted is 200. Could you please adjust these two numbers so that there is no discrepancy? Do you expect that all participants will receive a certificate?
- I noticed that you also budgeted tokens of appreciation for reviewers. Please note that as a grantee you cannot receive any gift or tokens of appreciation, even if you decide to be a reviewer.
Looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 12:15, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Davit,
- I'm applying for this grant in my individual capacity. I'll organize the article contest with the help of the chapter though.
- We do not expect to provide certificates to all participants, but I've updated the number of participants to 150+ to avoid discrepancy. We are not sure how many of them will be created/develop at least 3 or more articles, but the printed certificate will be provided to all recipients who have created 3 or more articles.
- To answer your last questions, I'm aware of that. Neither I nor any member of the organizing team will accept any gifts or tokens for any of their participation.

Hi Davit, we've decided to extend the article contest till 11 April 2021. I would like to request you to extend the deadline accordingly. — T. 14:02, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Wikitanvir, the current grant end date is on 15 April 2021. What is the proposed end date after the extension? Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 10:14, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Davit, I believe extending the deadline till the end of April would be safer. We hope to post the report before that though. Thank you. — T. 17:29, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks Wikitanvir, I extended the grant end date to 30 April 2021; the final report and expense documents are now due by 30 May 2021. Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 07:35, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
