- ↑ Experience from the past highlighted by SJ in a discussion page, 13 January 2013. In 2005, the scholarship recipients were invited to come a day earlier than everyone else; they each shared a short talk about wikipedia in their community; and they were invited to help with some of the last day of preparation. [sorting t-shirts and badges, &c]. A few did help, and the rest felt welcome.

- ↑ Presentation of Federico Leva and Martin Rulsch, January 2014. WMIT's program had about 200 applications in 2013 with Italian representing about 3.5 % of the global active editors userbase. In proportion, global applications should be around 5700.
- ↑ Presentation of Federico Leva and Martin Rulsch, January 2014. Conservative number: same as in 2013.
- ↑ Presentation of Federico Leva and Martin Rulsch, January 2014. Non-financial support is easier to expand, but not less important: one wrong recipient less, or one great recipient more, is as important as a financial contribution for the same amount.
- ↑ Presentation of Federico Leva and Martin Rulsch, January 2014.To have at most 250 applications to review for each of them in the first screening, similar to the workload for the WMIT scholarships committee members.
- ↑ Let's start with this number and change it if it doesn't fit.
- ↑ Presentation of Federico Leva and Martin Rulsch, January 2014. Was 12 in 2013, but much more in 2012.
- ↑ Presentation of Federico Leva and Martin Rulsch, January 2014. 15 in 2012!
- ↑ Presentation of Federico Leva and Martin Rulsch, January 2014; I added the number 400; in 2013 there were around 216 scholarships provided.
