Hello Houss 2020, thanks for submitting this Rapid Grant request. We are excited that you are planning to run a Wikipedia 20 event in Gafsa, Tunisia. I have reviewed your application and have the following questions and requests:

  • Do you have other experienced editors who can support you during the workshops? Do you think your experience with Wikimedia projects is enough to run a Wikipedia workshop?
  • Since your event will include more than 10 people, you need to follow the Risk Assessment Protocol and fill out the Risk Assessment Tool. Please do so and add the link to the completed Risk Assessment Tool under the corresponding question.
  • Please also respond to the following question in the Impact section: Will you be able to collect this information either during or after your event?
  • Could you please provide a more detailed budget? We need the budget breakdown for the following items: Six workshops, Party, and Materials. What particular costs do they cover and for how many participants?

Looking forward to your response. Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 09:45, 4 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Comment on Wikimedia Tunisia

Hi @Houss 2020: thanks for submitting the grant. I was wondering when will you contact the Wikimedia Tunisia group? We didn't hear about you or your activities in the past. We are very curious to know further about you and your wiki activities and will be happy to help you. We would have liked you to contact us before, to collaborate together.

Celebration Postponed

edit
Dear DSaroyan (WMF)

Due to a national lockdown announced by the Tunisian Health Ministry , we want to inform you that we are obliged to postpone our celebration of the 20th Wikipedia anniversary programmed on 14 January 2021 as part of “Wikipedia 20 Gafsa project”.

So, we intend to organize the celebration by the end of January.

We ask for a grant extension far enough in the future so that it covers hosting the event and receiving/paying all the bills associated with the grant.
