Grants talk:Project/Rapid/Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos Bwa

Comments from WMF

Hello Mompati Dikunwane, thank you for resubmitting this Rapid Grant request and for organizing the WPWP contest in Botswana. I have reviewed this proposal and have some questions and comments that I would like you to consider:

• Since this Rapid Grant request is credited to the Wikimedia Community User Group Botswana, please add a secondary contact to the probox who will later co-sign the agreement with you if this request is approved.
• Please reduce the total prize budget to 500 USD. This is the maximum amount we allow for different communities applying to award prizes for the local WPWP contests.
• After reducing the prize budget, please update the total amount requested and add this amount in your local currency to the probox.
• Could you please provide more details about the internet subscription budget? Is this only for organizers or you plan to provide internet access to the participants as well? For how many participants will this budget cover the Internet costs?
• In your detailed budget you have an item called “logistical expense”. What expenses does this item include?
• As mentioned on the contest page, please consider including the hashtag #WPWP in the Edit summary of all articles improved with images, so that these contributions are counted in the international results.

I will look forward to hearing from you! Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 10:50, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello DSaroyan (WMF), thank you so much for your questions and comments.

This is how it is plannedː

1. We plan to provide the internet to some participants who wont be having connection at all.

2. The logistical expense in the budget is required for us to be able to travel to buy the prizes (mechandizes) / sending gifts / meeting with the winners.

Lastly this request was initially placed as an individual grant. addressing the comment where you require a secondary contact for agreement purposes.

I have reduced the budget as per your request. Thank you and hoping to learn more from you.

Hello Mompati Dikunwane, thanks for making the requested changes.

• This grant will be processed as individual on behalf of the user group because you and Candy Tricia Khohliwe are both from the Wikimedia Community User Group Botswana; you are also the current president of the user group. In such cases, when the leaders involved in the project are from the same user group, the grant is credited to that particular user group and we require a second user group representative to co-sign the contract, even though we process the grant as an individual type (since your user group is not an incorporated organization in Botswana). So please add the secondary contact details and user group name to the probox. Kindly make the same changes for this grant request as well.
• Thanks for updating your total budget in the probox! Please also update the detailed budget section with the changed budget and total requested amount.
