Comments from WMF

Hello SarahPallant, thank you for submitting a Rapid Grant request. It’s great to see that you’re running Art and Feminism event at Pallant House Gallery! We have reviewed your request and have the following questions and comments.

• In your proposal you mentioned that someone from the Wikipedia community will be supporting you and training the participants. Have you already confirmed who will be this person? Could you please provide this person’s Wikimedia username?

It will be Stuart Prior (Stuart_Prior_(WMUK))

• Have you previously organized any Wikimedia event at Pallant House Gallery?

No, this will be our first Wikimedia event

• I could see that this event will be preceding the Radical Women Symposium. Would you please elaborate on what is this symposium about?

The Symposium is a two day event (Friday evening through to Saturday) which will have academics giving talks on their research and new odeas around modernist woemn in early 20th century Britain. These papers will explore their connections to art, literature, gender and radical politics to reveal some of the origins of modern feminism.

• Would you please make a breakdown of your Social media advertising expenses? On which social media will you place ads, what will be the duration and costs of ads for each of the social media websites?

Instagram (Facebook) – 2 weeks - £150 Thank you again for your contribution to Wikimedia Movement. Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 06:29, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello SarahPallant, thank you for your responses! Since you have access to some other external resources to promote your event, we think that £150 is a bit high budget for social media advertisement compared to other grants that we approve. For this reason, we kindly ask you to reduce the social media advertising expenses to £75. Please make the requested changes and update your total budget.

Hello DSaroyan (WMF), thanks for getting back to us - we can reduce the social media advertising budget for this. I have made the amendments to the grant page. Best regards SarahPallant.

Approved
