Comments from DSaroyan (WMF)

Hi M-Mustapha and Ammarpad, thanks for submitting this final report. We are glad that despite some challenges you were able to organize the planned two events in Katsina and Kaduna, Nigeria. It is great to hear that all targets were met and some exceeded. I have a few questions after reviewing your grant application:

• How did you track the participants’ contributions on Wiktionary?
• Could you provide a link to the list of Wiktionary entries created during the events?
• What were the logistical challenges to postpone the second event?
• Did the experienced editors mentioned in the grant proposal supported you during the events?
• You mentioned that you would also recruit new User Group members. Did you recruit any new members? Does any of the event participants continue editing now?

Thanks again for your contributions. Looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 13:06, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Thank you DSaroyan (WMF) and we are happy you are reviewing our report at this time, I would try to respond base on the Kaduna event and Ammarpad will do for the Katsina event.

• I supposed to have used the outreach dashboard for easy tracking but I forgot about it, so what I used was, I tracked the edits through the recent changes patrol log during the event.
• Yes! Here is the log of created pages for the day of the event 5 December 2020
• I did not know why was the event postponed but Ammarpad will explain.
• Two of the editors mentioned have supported me Abubakar A Gwanki and Umar-askira but the other two did not participate in any way and have not explained why? even though we have discussed it up to the day.
• Yes! I was able to recruit new users and members, Wiktionary:ha:User:Salihu Aliyu, Wiktionary:ha:User:Hamxo, Wiktionary:ha:Salim Yunusa, Wiktionary:ha:User:Bello Na'im, Wiktionary:ha:User:DanMaliki1, Wiktionary:ha:User:Maigoro2020 Wiktionary:ha:Hassan Muhammad Sani and Wiktionary:ha:User:Ibrahim Khalid which some of them are now active editors of the Hausa Wikipedia project and Wiktionary:ha:User:Uncle Bash0077 and Wiktionary:ha:User:Aliyu shaba were returning users as they were participant of my former event and have since then become active too. I hope this helps, Thanks and regards. M-Mustapha (talk) 17:25, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
