Grants talk:Project/Rapid/Wiki Loves Andes Edit-a-thon 2020

Comments from WMF

Hello Cbrescia, thanks for submitting this comprehensive Rapid Grant request to organize another series of Wiki Loves Andes Edit-a-thons. While the project activities look well-thought-out and exciting, I have a comment regarding the project budget and eligibility:

• Per the Rapid Grant Guidelines, there are only limited cases when we allow compensation for people’s time or any type of honorariums. For this reason, we cannot fund the honorariums for workshop trainers, project management, both topic specialists, and workshop assistants. You will need to update your budget and remove all these expenses (1,120 USD in total) so that we will be able to process your request. Please update your budget until 9 September 2020, otherwise, we will have to mark your request as ineligible for funding.

Thank you for understanding, I look forward to your updates. Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 13:05, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

Dear DSaroyan (WMF), I have made some amendments. Thank you for your comments which helped us to adapt our project to WMF Rapid Grant guidelines. We got carried away by our excitement and made some mistakes. We believe our project is more focused and stronger in order to reach its objectives.

Modification of end date

Dear Davit, I would like to have permission to modify the project's 'end date, from January 29th to February 15th, 2021. The main reason is to extend the deadline of the editathon in order to have more visibility and participation of new and old editors in Peru. We managed to produce a banner with the help of CentraNotice that is shown 10 times per day in Peru. Best regards, --Cbrescia (talk) 00:30, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
