Grants talk:Project/Rapid/Introduction to Wikipedia and Wikidata for the Gurene Wikimedia Community

Comment from Samatics

Hello Dnshitobu, Thanks for putting together this grant proposal to support gurene language both in incubator and Wikidata. However, I would suggest you separate the impact you expect for both projects to read like this:

• Number of Gurene Wikipedia articles created or improved
• Number of Wikidata items created or improved

I think this will be in line with your project scope. Thanks.--Samatics (talk) 07:13, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

@Samatics Thank you for pointing it out. The change will be effected Dnshitobu (talk) 09:02, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Comments from DSaroyan (WMF)

Hello Dnshitobu and Gurene Wikimedians, thanks for submitting this Rapid Fund application. I have two questions and requests after reviewing your grant application:

• Please follow the instructions and respond to question #2.
• There are a few large affiliates in Ghana which support emerging Wikimedia communities. I'm interested to learn if you have reached out to them for support before submitting a grant application? Are you in touch with them? Do they offer any other support aside from financial support?

Thanks again for everything you do for the Gurene language and Wikimedia Community. Looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 13:02, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

1. I have responded to the question #2 now. I am sorry I couldn't provide all necessary links at the beginning though the appropriate communities were informed.
2. Yes, we are currently being supported by the Dagbani Wikimedians User Group and have been involved in some of their activities like the Wiki Loves Folklore 2022 in Ghana. We have also received mentorship support and trainings for our facilitators. Dnshitobu (talk) 20:23, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
