Grants talk:Project/Rapid/Yusuf Sa'adu/Wikipedia workshop in Funtua

Comments from DSaroyan (WMF)

Hello Yusuf Sa'adu, thanks again for submitting this Rapid grant application. We are glad to learn that this is your first Wikimedia Foundation grant! I have reviewed your application and have a few questions and requests:

• We now require all grantees to announce their projects and receive the Wikimedia community feedback in advance. Could you please announce this project and grant on the relevant Hausa community pages on the target wikis? Community notification may be most appropriate on a village pump, talk page, or mailing list. Please paste a link into the proposal page to where the relevant communities have been notified of this proposal, and to any other relevant community discussions.
• Do you have any experience in running Wikimedia activities in your community? Could you please share your experience with us?
• Are you aware of any Wikimedia activities organized in the city of Funtua in the past?
• You mentioned that you would have other experienced Wikimedians supporting your activities. Will these users travel to Funtua and help you with running the activities?
• How do you plan to track participants' contributions?
• You also mentioned that participants will use mobile phones to edit. Have you used a mobile phone to edit in the past? Do you think it’s practical to use mobile phones for this workshop?
• Could you please respond to question #7 regarding in-person activities?
• In the detailed budget, please add the number of units and unit prices for each budget item.

Thanks again for planning this workshop in Funtua. Looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 09:37, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
