Grants talk:Project/Rapid/Wikidata of Ethnic Groups in Nigeria

Comments from WMF

Hello Egiebizzy, thanks again for submitting this proposal. We are grateful for all your efforts in making information about Nigerian ethnic groups presented in Wikidata. I reviewed the proposal and have some questions and requests:

• Given the scope of your event, please reduce the souvenirs’ budget to 500 USD.
• In the Impact section, you mentioned that you would expect to have 5 new editors. Is this the number of new editors in each event or it is the total for all events? If it is the total number of all new contributors, given the small number of new participants you will have in each training, how will you make sure that you will not be giving souvenirs to the same contributors? Wouldn’t it be better to offer prizes to the top contributors taking into account the results of all events?
• Do you have any experience of running or leading a Wikidata training?

Looking forward to your response. Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 13:33, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

My response

Thank you DSaroyan (WMF) for your comments. please find below my response to your questions and request:

• Done--souvenir's budget reduced to 500 USD.
• Once again, thank you for this wonderful observation and suggestion! I have adjusted the prizes to be awarded to top 10 contributors for the overall event.
• I have not led a wikidata training but I have been training other interested users on my own. In answering this question, I asked for DonKevin opinion and he advised me to contact Samatics for his availability. Samatics asked me to alternate my event days as he will be involved in another online training/editathon. If need be, I will alternate my training days with his to make room for this. I have added him to the experienced editor on the proposal page.
