Grants talk:IdeaLab/Seriously consider why only some Wikimedia projects have harassment

Spelling

If you're going to be "serious" about your consideration, maybe spell it correctly? - Thekohser (talk) 20:17, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Many of the participants here are not en-N, so there's really no need to get condescending over their use of the English language. The guy who made this is a native speaker of Italian, but not English. I'll fix the title of the page. Ajraddatz (talk) 20:29, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Moving to other places

I'm uncomfortable with the suggestion that harassed users move to another Wikimedia project. To be very blunt, this comes across like you're saying that it'll be so hard to fix things that we shouldn't even try and anyone who is bothered or victimized by said problems should be pushed to leave. I don't know that this type of mindset is really a good idea, to be honest, since avoiding a potential problem will only make it worse. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 06:58, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

More often it's the harassers who move projects. They get blocked on whatever place they started on, and then go to other sites (often Meta-Wiki) to get a fresh audience for their polemic. The harassees just leave. Ajraddatz (talk) 07:00, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Grants to improve your project

Greetings! The Project Grants program is currently accepting proposals for funding. The deadline for draft submissions is tommorrow. If you have ideas for software, offline outreach, research, online community organizing, or other projects that enhance the work of Wikimedia volunteers, start your proposal today! Please encourage others who have great ideas to apply as well. Support is available if you want help turning your idea into a grant request.

The next open call for Project Grants will be in October 2016. You can also consider applying for a Rapid Grant, if your project does not require a large amount of funding, as applications can be submitted anytime.
