Relevance of the project

The project is important as it will be an eye opener to the Akure Community about what the largest encyclopedia is all about. I will be present physically for the project as a faciliator Taoheedah (talk) 03:04, 04 December 2022 (UTC)

Reinforce the authenticity of Wikipedia

A lot believe wikipedia is flawed however by execution of this project, the participants will understand and see how articles are added and that the encyclopedia is controlled and protected from vandalism.

Relevance and the sustainability of the project

Akure is the capital city of Ondo State, South Western Nigeria and I am highly fascinated about the strategic location of the project. The project will go a long way to sensitise the populace about Wikimedia projects, encourage them to contribute their quota to Wikipedia in terms of tribe, Languages, historical places and their various cultures by using edit-a-thon. Also, creating Akure Wikimedia Editors will go a long way to ensure that the project is sustained. As a facilitator that has worked with Tesleemah in the past, I have been informed of my roles and I will be available for the project. Ibjaja055 (talk) 10:58, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

The applicant is one the editors I met recently in Gombe during the Wikimedia awareness project were she has demonstrated her experience and skills as we were both invited to work as facilitators. Owing to the fact that there is a need for Wikimedia promotion in the location where the event is designed to take place, the experienced editors involved in the proposal will be there to give her all the necessary supports.
