In the Community Resources team's behavioral expectations for this space, anyone with concerns about a proposal is welcome to express them in a constructive and supportive manner. However, to the extent that feedback is excessive, contains personalized and disparaging remarks about the applicant or their organization, or if the concerns are expressed in an hostile or punitive manner, they may be removed from the discussion page partially or entirely. Relatedly, participants should follow the Universal Code of Conduct, which contains the minimum level of guidelines for communications and behavior on Wikimedia projects. These expectations are important, we want to ensure that conversations about proposals in our funding programs are productive, that is, focused on building shared understanding and generally supporting applicants to improve their ideas and projects, regardless of what funding decision is made. |

1. In what ways do you think this research can support you or other members of the Wikimedia communities in the work that you do on the Wikimedia projects?
- At my university in Oregon, USA I have asked many international students and colleagues how they use Wikipedia. They often say they use it in their native language to better understand the US (and switch back and forth between their native language and English). I have wondered how some immigrants and migrant workers from Mexico, who only speak their indigenous language and sometimes English, use Wikipedia (if at all). Research that sheds light on how the indigenous peoples of Mexico use Wikipedia would be incredibly useful, not only in Mexico, but in the US as well.

- At this point I don't have any. But, as I said above, I'm curious to see how this research could help immigrants to the USA.
3. Please share any other feedback about this proposal that you think the Research Fund Committee should consider below.
- The main researcher attended the Wikimedia+Libraries Convention and has participated in the Reading Wikipedia in the Classroom program. The research, map, and publications would provide much needed information.
