Grants talk:Project/Rapid/LET’S MAKE WIKIPEDIA EDIT-A-THON INCLUSIVE!

Comments from DSaroyan (WMF)

Hello Ngozi osadebe and Surplus People team, thank you for submitting this Rapid Grant application. We are glad to learn that you plan to run a series of inclusive training sessions and editathons on Wikimedia projects. I have reviewed your application and have a few questions and requests:

• The Risk Assessment tool document link is not correct. Please make a copy of the original document and then complete it with your event information. For help walking through this tool, please refer to this demo video.

• You mentioned that you would have three experienced editors. Could you please provide their Wikimedia usernames?

• I was unable to find the community notification on the Nigerian User Group Talk page. Could you please correct it?

• Could you please provide more information about the schedule of planned training sessions? Additionally, what kind of Wikipedia articles do you plan to edit during the editathons? Will you be using the Outreach Dashboard to track participants’ contributions?

• Honorarium (21) - this expense is ineligible for funding, please remove it from your budget.

• The total requested budget amounts provided in the Resources section and in the probox (right sidebar) do not match each other. Please fix this discrepancy.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 11:46, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

We have advertised the program at the Nigerian Wikimedia User Group webpage. The link to the webpage is: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_User_Group_Nigeria

• We planned four training sessions before the actual editing event. The dates for the training sessions are October 13, 20, 27 and November 3. Time is 1-4pm each day.

• We planned to add new content and improve existing ones in English Wikipedia.

• We wish to add more information on "access to higher education for people with disabilities".

• We will use outreach dashboard to track our participants contribution. We expect to set up out outreach dashboard by the first week of October.

• Item 21 "Honorarium to members of Surplus people in the Universities Research group" has been removed.
