Comments from WMF

Hello Medhavigandhi, thank you for submitting a Rapid Grant proposal. We appreciate your efforts in organizing and running the Art and Feminism campaign in your community! We have reviewed your request and have the following questions and comments.

• You mentioned that you would organize events at different institutions. Have those institutions already confirmed their willingness to host the events? Could you share with us their names and the cities where the events will take place?
• Additionally, would you please share the usernames of local organizers?
• Thank you for setting up a website and creating a promotional video for your campaign. It looks really nice! Could you please give a link to a page with all your past events?
• How many Pen-Drives and Certificates have you budgeted to offer?

Thank you again for your contribution to the Wikimedia Movement! Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 05:37, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Response

Dear DSaroyan (WMF) Thank you for your questions!

• Our institutional partners have confirmed mostly, but we're waiting for a response from the Venue partners: In Delhi, our partner is 'Feminism in India' - we have partnered with them for 2 years now, and each year the venue is different. We are currently waiting for a venue to confirm. In Mumbai, our partner is Marg Publications & it's the same situation as they do not have enough space. Government Museum Chennai has confirmed as a partner (as well as venue); we are waiting for MSMS Museum Jaipur to confirm (they participated last year as well, but this year they don't have a date just yet).
• Do you mean local Wikipedians? The organizers (museums) don't have usernames but staff that participates does. For example, would you like me to share usernames of my partners? Please note, I will be in each of the cities, organizing the same.
• Please find a link of our past events here.
• We have budgeted for 20 pen drives and 20 certificates.

Do let me know if any more information is needed! --Medhavigandhi (talk) 06:43, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
