editHi Krishna Chaitanya Velaga, and thanks for this proposal for an edit-a-thon involving Master Orator Championship participants. It's very impressive that you have been able to obtain so many resources for this event through negotiating with the MOC event organizers, so thank you for this work. I have a few questions about the event:
- Are the other projects other than English Wikipedia than MOC participants might be interested in contributing to?
- They would also be introduced towards contribution to Commons, they'll be encouraged to upload any images they have, then and there at the event. As the event take place in a Telugu speaking state, they'll also be introduced to the same. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk — mail) 11:48, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
- Can you let me know how the prizes were decided upon for this event? They represent about 85% of the cost of this grant, which is unusual, but I do understand that you are saving a lot of money because other resources are being provided at no cost.
- The call on prizes was taken by the MOC Core Committee, the prizes were the same for MOC season 1 in 2016. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk — mail) 11:48, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
- Are there any content areas that you will be encouraging event participants to focus on, or are you aware of any topics they are interested in contributing toward?
- We, the organizers, will identify at least 150 articles comprising from English/Telugu Wikipedias, and will let the participants to select an article which interests them and will make them work on the same. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk — mail) 11:48, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
