Grants talk:Project/Rapid/Nigeria Colleges of Education and Polytechnics on Wikidata

Comments from DSaroyan (WMF)

Hi DonKevin, thanks for submitting another Rapid Grant to improve Nigerian data on Wikidata. I have a few questions after reviewing your proposal:

• In your report for SPARQL: Getting Data from Wikidata, the Event Dashboard link doesn’t work. Could you please correct it?
• Are you going to organize the same introduction sessions as you did for the SPARQL: Getting Data from Wikidata project?
• What learnings do you have after completing your first project and what are you planning to do differently this time?
• Are you planning to invite participants from the SPARQL: Getting Data from Wikidata project to this project?
• In each event, how many participants do you expect to have (organizers excluded)?
• I see that Shola was invited to participate in your last project. To confirm, do you request this grant on behalf of Wikimedia Nigeria UG?

Looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 13:20, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

Response

Hi DSaroyan (WMF), Thank you for your review. Please find my comments bellow:

• Done.
• No, The training in this project will focus more on the properties to add to items to be created and adding references. That is because the series of events leans more towards editathon than training. Though I will use the guide I created in my previous project to introduce wikidata to new editors.
• IP block was a big issue in my last project as this affect editing by the new editors. Though I still try to encourage them by throwing a challenge on the whatsapp group for them to run queries on a set question I develop each week. So for new editors joining this new event, I will create an account for them (or encourage them to create account) before the event days.
• Yes
• 9
• No, This is an individual grant and I am not requesting this grant on behalf of Wikimedia Nigeria UG.
