Goals edit

Did you meet your goals? Are you happy with how the project went?

Yes to some extent we did even though we were met with obstacles including blocked IP which affected almost all the participants. But beyond the goals, it provided a homely and relax setup for queers to contribute and learn about Wikipedia.

Outcome edit

Please report on your original project targets. Please be sure to review and provide metrics required for Rapid Grants.


Target outcome Achieved outcome Explanation
Number of events: 1 We had about 2 separated events We had 2 unique separate event in a relaxed and cozy atmosphere.
Number of participants: 30 We had about 20 participants Due to the discrete and safety of the event for queers, some couldn't make it
Number of new editors: 80% We had over 80% of new editors as majority of the queer participants were new. Most participants were new
Number of of articles created or improved: 200 about 20 We couldn't achieve this has almost all the IP of the participants were blocked already nd so this affected contributions.
