@Nettime Sujata:, the user group would be very happy to support a prolific editor like you, but as we have just finished our previous funding in December and the next grant period is months away, it would not be practically possible to provide internet support right now. I would like to request you to apply to CIS-A2K here so that you can get immediate support. -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 10:33, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki Exploration project of Sikkim-Phase I

edit

Proposed activities

edit

This event has been planned to explore the state of Sikkim and its various important places and monuments and heritage structures. For the first time Sikkimm will be included in the Wiki exploration project. The monuments are not explored as much as they should be and there are not sufficient related media in Commons too. Hence a detailed exploration is needed to gather more related media in Wikimedia commons. This will help in providing suppoting media while writing related articlesin Wikipedia. Since Sikkim is a vast state, I propose to conduct the exploration in multiple phases , begining with major parts of East and West Sikkim and to some extent parts of South Sikkim.

@Amitabha Gupta:, thank you for submitting a detailed proposal for another phase of Wiki Exploration Program. However, as you have mentioned that your intended date of activity is between April and May, you cannot apply for the next phase of Rapid Fund, which will start from April, 2024. In that case, if you can apply to CIS-A2K by sending a mail to tanveer@cis-india.org and cc wbg-representative@googlegroups.com, we will be happy to provide a supporting note to them endorsing your proposal. -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 15:12, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Bodhisattwa, As Per your suggestion, I had applied to CIS-A2K (Centre for Internet and Society). for the funds who have approved it and already have sent two instalments of fund to the travel agent Travel Chhuti after receiving quotation from three travel agents.

@Sumitsurai:, as the user group has already submitted its Community fund application, it might be impossible to arrange for a laptop from another grant. In that case, if you can manage from the grant which you have submitted related to videographer documentation, then please arrange for the laptop from that fund. -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 02:41, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
