Grants talk:Project/Rapid/WoALUG/WLM Albania 2016

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

Hi Margott. Thanks so much for this proposal. We're excited to support WLM in Albania! We are especially happy to see that there will be a focus on adding images to articles at Wikipedia Weekend Tirana 2016. Perhaps you can consider a prize in the future for photo integration. Also, the cost of the awards ceremony is a considerable part of the budget. We've seen awards ceremony be very useful for outreach and community connections in some places and not so much in others. We'll be interested to hear from you in the report if you felt it was a worthwhile event for your community. Good luck! Alex Wang (WMF) (talk) 17:29, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Margott. Can you please include a start date on your proposal? Thanks, Alex Wang (WMF) (talk) 17:48, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Alex Wang (WMF) thank you very much for the support and for the quick review. We've been discussing with some active members of community how important is the follow up, specially if you include a small event with prices is more motivated. So except the planed ceremony we will use other wiki events to follow up with the contributors and for motivation we will give at least one Tshirt and a thank you certificate in the name of UG for best contributors. We see that these kind of events bring more people in the community. So we will try to organize as much as we can. We are always open for suggestions :) Thank you, --Margott (talk) 08:20, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Report date extension[edit]

Hello Margott! As communicated over email, since this event was coordinated with WLM Kosovo 2016, WMF will also extend the report due date for this project to 30 April 2017. Please be sure to ping us at rapidgrants at wikimedia dot org with further reporting updates about either of these grants. Thanks for your diligence!
