Questions and comments from WMF

Hello RachelWex! thank you for putting up this grant request. Here are a few comments and questions from me before we approve this grant request.

• Am I understanding this well in that this editathon will not have a topic (like previous may have) but will be about learning to edit altogether? Cna you maybe make this a bit clearer?
  • Hi Delphine (WMF) (talk)! The event will combine three types of activities: 1) a formal introduction to Wikipedia and various Wikimedia projects; 2) a brief tutorial on how to edit; 3) an edit-a-thon where people can either do work for a Wikimedia project of their choice, including WIkiProjects on a wide variety of topics where people identify topics that need articles or improvements.

• I need to clear the whole remaining funds piece from your last grant on my end to make sure we do this right, I haven't looked up the status of your last grant yet, but will do shortly.
  • I remember now. No remaining funds since you've been reimbursed exactly fo your expenses, so we're all good. Delphine (WMF) (talk) 09:29, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
• This looks like a great follow-up and building upon the previous grant and event, and I am glad to see your continuous efforts to promote and explain Wikipedia.

I will get back to you shortly if I have more questions. Best regards, Delphine (WMF) (talk) 14:06, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
