Explain your plan

[edit]

Tell us about how you contribute currently, and how you would contribute if WMF were to gift a used laptop to you. I am an active contributor to Wikipedia and it’s sister projects like Wikimedia Commons, Wikisource and Wikidata. I have started contributing to Wikipedia since 2018. Presently I am concentrating more on contributing to Tulu Wikipedia and I am a part of emerging Wikipedia of small community.
I have been contributing to Wikipedia using the laptop received in Project Tiger. Because of technical lag unfortunately, laptop stopped working last year and I had to contribute by borrowing someone else laptop. Because of this reason I was unable to contribute for few months . I could have contributed using cell phone . Since, I live in village area there is a huge network issue which is one of the big problem . So it’s better to work in laptops using mobile hotspots which can be atleast be managed to contribute. And in mobiles, I cannot contribute SVG images to Wikimedia Commons which needs Inkscape application to be downloaded in the system. Currently I am contributing to Wiki Loves Women and Folkore 2023 is going on and it is a right time to contribute more articles to Wikipedia. So, in order to continue my contribution to Wikipedia this is the right opportunity that I found. Not only for the active contribution to conduct trainings laptop is a basic necessity which I am lacking.
So hereby I request WMF to understand my problem and gift me a laptop to continue my contribution to Wikimedia and it’s sister projects and help me to uplift Tulu Wikipedia also.
