Extension request edit

  • Proposal date to hand in the final report: December 16th
  • Rationale: the edit-a-thon in Llotja was an activity initially not planned, but an opportunity to involve the art education community in other ways than producing images. The organization of the Wikidiagnosis and the Edit-a-thon, took me time and energies that I could not devote to finish the preparation of the exhibition, writing the final report and other issues. Two weeks more will be useful for me to complete the planned tasks and to order the translation of the texts. --Dvdgmz (talk) 18:24, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
Hi David, thanks for submitting this request. I'm approving the 2 week extension to complete your final report. Your report is now due on December 16th. Best of luck finishing up this grant! Siko (WMF) (talk) 20:57, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
