Grants talk:Project/Rapid/Wikimedia UG Nigeria/Wiki Loves Women Radio Show/Report

Hello Olaniyan Olushola thank you for submitting this report for Wiki Loves Women radio show. I am sorry that the monthly meetups and the radio show didn't coincide well to provide a space for the editathons. But hopefully you can still use the radio show episodes as sources for the edit-a-thons you're hosting from April-September. I look forward to hearing about the use of these episodes in your meetup report. Below are questions I have on this report:

  1. Can you please list the user names of the new editors in your report?
    User:Anikeade
    User:Jennieville
    User:Luchivina
    User:Wakandafenty
    User:Pricessdoo
  2. Can you provide the list of the 14 notable women you were able to interview? This could then be used as a starting point for the editathons.
    Hauwa Ojei
    Nneka Isaac Moses
    Betty Abah
    Adepeju Jaiyeoba
    Ema Edosio
    Temitop Okunnu
    Ambs. Onyime-Ivy King
    Olayemi Ogunwole
    LadyOMary
    Emmanuela Pobeni-Adepoju ( Iya Jogbo)
    Oluwatoyin Adesola
    Osiwa Patrcia
    Prof. Babalola Chinedum
  3. In your proposal you had mentioned as your project plan that you wanted to create awareness and promote wikimedia projects. Can you let us know how many people the radio show reaches so we have some idea of the awareness and promotion of wikimedia projects?
    The radio station is located on the boundary of Lagos and Ogun state, the two states have combine population over 20Million . And the radio covered the two states effectively. Therefore, at least minimum of 10Million listen to the radio program on weekly basis
  4. Your second project goal was to increase women-related content on wikimedia projects. Would you say you will be able to accomplish this by using the episodes to improve wikipedia articles? Will the radio episodes be available on Commons? If so, can you please provide a link?
    see link here Please note that the radio station reported lost of two episodes due to crashed software, while we are still expecting one more recorded audio for the first 12 episodes.
  5. Lastly, in regards to the budget, I believe that there is a discrepancy. I think you may have copy pasted some of the numbers. Can you please clarify the budget breakdown to match the expense documentation? I see in your expense documentation the following:
    • Transportation = 360,000 NGN (I understand this sum is also equal to the two transportation values for media crew and invited guests but if you can match the budget items to the expense documentation it would help us rectify the final report and expense documentation more easily.)
    • Refreshments = 216,000 NGN (Your expense documentation shows 708.19 USD as opposed to the 544.68 in this report)
    Please note that the sum of $708.19 is the summation of Refreshment for Media Crew and for our guest ($49.32+$9.83(The figure should be $9.83 and not ($32.92) stated in our budget )=$59.15)for 12weeks ($59.15*12= 708.19)by NGN305 (NGN216,000).
    The $708.19 could be further broken to Media Crew ($592.38) Invited guest ($115.91)
    Sorry for the error of $544.68. It's now corrected to &592.38.
    • Phone services = 24,000 NGN (This was not listed in your final report under your budget items)
    We stated the amount ($6.55*12=78.69)( NGN24000) under contingency in our budget . But, It was used for phone calls. The amount is now included in the final report as phonecalls.

Looking forward to receiving your answers so we can move forward with closing this grant. Best regards, WJifar (WMF) (talk) 22:42, 9 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Response to comments on report edit

Hello Olaniyan Olushola thank you for providing the user names and list of guests. I also appreciate the link you provided for the radio show. This is all wonderful work you've done! WJifar (WMF) (talk) 19:08, 22 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Response to budget corrections edit

Now to the business of resolving the budget issues. Unfortunately, the math is still not clear to me from your table. I have added a new column reflecting what I see in your expense documentation and from the explanations you have given here. Please let me know if I'm misunderstanding.

In regards to the additional amount you're expecting I would like to remind you that we deducted underspends from the following grants in the amount of $100.44 USD before sending you the grant amount for the radio show. Given this use of remaining funds from previous grants I believe you have still gone over budget by $5.81 if my calculation in the table below is accurate. I can include this amount in the next grant if you would like me to.


Lastly, I think it would be much easier for you and us if we could do these tables and calculations in NGN given that all the receipts are in NGN. That way we can just do one exchange rate either in overspend or underspend to settle any discrepancies. Does that sound agreeable to you? Please let me know if you have any further questions or if we can close out this grant and proceed with your other open proposals. Best regards, WJifar (WMF) (talk) 19:08, 22 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
