Grants talk:Project/Rapid/UG-GE/Competition of Natural Sciences/Report

Report Accepted

Gamarjoba Mehman97, thank you for submitting the final report of your Rapid Grant. It is amazing to see that you have met all the initial targets and had a successful contest in the Georgian Wikipedia.

• Improving about 300 articles on science seems impressive! Thanks for sharing the link to the Fountain Dashboard.
• In the report you have mentioned that you have had 8 new editors. How did you engage them in the contest? Have you organized a training session for them at the Central Library of the Tbilisi State University? Does any of those new editors continue to edit on the Georgian Wikipedia?
• Are you planning to organize similar contests in 2020?

Thank you again for your hard work in making this contest happen! We have reviewed your expense documentation and final report and accepted both. Your grant is now complete! Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 08:41, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

გამარჯობა Davit, thanks for feedback and for accepting this report.

• thanks :)
• During this contest we didn't conduct special trainings for anyone. New participants joined us mainly by seeing the ads of this contest on social networks, which is confirmed by the fact that social media is important for popularizing Wikimedia projects. In addition, some participants joined the contest on the recommendation of experienced WP participants who, in addition, helped them in their work. At least one of the new contestants (and winner) was a participant our WikiCamp, which we held in March 2019. Many of the contestants continued to work on Wikipedia, and also took part in other contests.
• Yes, we are going to hold a contest of similar subjects this year. Please check out our annual plan for this year.

Have a nice day and thank you. Kindly, --Mehman 97 21:44, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
