Hello Semmy1960, thanks for submitting this Rapid Fund request. I have completed the initial review and I have some questions and requests:

  • Do you have any list of ministries that you plan to work on during the project? How many ministries does it include? Can you share that list with us?
  • In which languages do you plan to make contributions?
  • What's the need for having 5 participants taking part in the photowalks? How will you ensure that there are no duplicate images taken?
  • Do you need to have any permission to take photos of the ministry buildings in Lagos? If you do, how do you plan to get that permission?
  • Do you have freedom of panorama in Nigeria? How will you make sure that the photos can be shared under free licenses and uploaded to Wikimedia Commons?
  • I don't think there is a need to invite any facilitator(s) outside of Lagos to participate in the project. The Wikimedia community in Lagos is already active and I recommend finding local experienced Wikimedians who would be willing to support the project. Given this fact, we'll not fund any expenses regarding the air travel of any facilitator(s). Please remove all expenses regarding the air travel and accommodation (items #7, 8, and 9).
  • Additionally, since you have almost no experience in working with Wikimedia Commons, we would like to know who will be leading the Wikimedia Commons training sessions? We need to make sure that you have experienced Wikimedia Commons editors in the team in order to move forward with this grant request.

I'll look forward to your response and I'll make the funding decision based on the response you provide. Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 15:58, 17 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Extension request

edit

Hello DSaroyan (WMF), trust you are fine. Sent a mail to you but didn't get any response. I was asking for an extension till the end of March. We had a little delay because some students started exams earlier than expected because of the strike. We have started the online aspect of the training, we want an extension because of those who just finished their exams. We request for extension till 31st of March. Best regards, Thanks.Semmy1960 (talk)
