Grants talk:Project/Rapid/Nigerian Universities and Polytechnics on Wikidata/Report

Comments from DSaroyan (WMF)

Hi Chuks Zilo, thanks for submitting this grant report. I have reviewed it and have some questions and comments.

• Did the experienced Wikimedians mentioned in the initial proposal participate in the event?
• What have you learned that you will use for the new Nigerian Religious Institutions on Wikidata grant project to improve the quality of contributions?
• You mentioned that the participants didn’t fully understand how to participate in the project. What will you do differently to resolve this issue?
• In the report you also mentioned that you plan to change the nature of the events. Could you please provide more details?
• What tools did you use to track the participants’ contributions? Could you please provide a link with all edited Wikidata items?
• How many participants did you have in general? How many of them participated in all events?
• Do you have any screenshots from the online sessions that you can share with us?

Please respond to my questions and let me know! Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 10:35, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

Dear DSaroyan (WMF), thanks for your questions and here is my answers.

• Yes they participated except one person who supported the project without editing.
• I learnt that it's difficult for new participants to distinguish between a statement, a property and a value. I will devote more time to make sure that participants fully understand them before editing.
• Firstly, if the participants are not used to working with computers before wishing to edit then a better understanding of computer will help. Secondly and like i said above, i will devote more time for new and old participants to fully understand how values match with properties.
• The changes i intend to make are mentioned above.
• I used the outreachdashboard and i am sorry i forgot to add it in the report. i have added the link to the report.
• There were 13 editors but 12 editors actually edited.
• Unfortunately i don't, i didn't know it would be needed.
