Grants talk:Project/Rapid/ObyEzeilo/Nigerian Female Politicians on Wikidata

Comments from WMF

Hello Oby Ezeilo, thanks for submitting this Rapid Grant request. It is great to learn that you plan to continue improving Wikidata with the Nigerian-related knowledge. I have reviewed the request and budget, and have the following requests on the proposed budget.

• Souvenirs for participants: We think that the prize budget is high given the scale of the project. Please reduce this budget, offering souvenirs only to the editors who have top contributions.
• Miscellaneous: Please provide more details on what this budget item (200 USD) will cover.

I will look forward to your response. Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 10:39, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello DSaroyan (WMF). Thank you for your guidance and question.

• On souvenirs, i have reduced the number of persons that will be given souvenirs and corrected it in the project application. I will now give souvenirs to 3 leading participants in each session. Since i will have 5 sessions, the number of recipients is now reduced to 15.
• on the miscellaneous, this budgeted cost is provided to cover unexpected incidentals that may come up during the project. such things like if the budgeted cost of data for any participant turns out not to be sufficient; if any participant turn out to need to hire a laptop; if i need to pay any local transport cost etc. Best Regards--Oby Ezeilo (talk) 19:40, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
