editHi Рөстәм Нурыев, Borovi4ok, and everyone else that helped contribute to this report. Thank you for submitting a detailed report -- we appreciate the opportunity to learn more about how the project is going. It sounds like the activities are running smoothly and you are getting more engagement than you expected. We have a few follow-up questions.
- Do you have event pages where you keep track of participants usernames and articles improved/created? It would be great to track this over time Here is an example of a good event page that includes the event details, participants, a worklist of articles, and outcomes. I would also encourage you to look at the Program and Events Dashboard to see if you would like it to track your events. You can read more about it here. This page you've created is great because it gives short descriptions of the events and some photos, but we would like to also see participant and articles lists for events where appropriate.
- en: Thank you for the recommendation. This appears to be an excellent tool in which to monitor the activities of users participating in specific events. I have created a tool to monitor the activities of the newcomers to the Bashkir Wikipedia. Besides, we have created an English page of Current events; in it, we will list the accounts of users participating in specific events. We hope that our colleagues Visem, Borovi4ok, ZUFAr will maintain the page up to date.
- ru: Спасибо за рекомендацию. Отличный инструмент для наблюдения за активностью участников отдельных событий. Я создал программу для наблюдения за новыми участниками Башкирской Википедии. В сообществе башкирских викимедийцев пока немного участников, поэтому удобнее наблюдать за всеми новичками. В будущем, возможно наблюдение за участниками отдельных событий. Кроме этого мы создали страницу текущих событий на английском языке, где будем указывать аккаунты участников отдельных событий. Надеемся, что коллеги Visem, Borovi4ok, ZUFAr будут поддерживать страницу в актуальном состоянии.
- The number of articles created (1,529) in just three months is very impressive! Why do you think so many more were created than you expected? What type of articles are they?
- en: Competitive environment edit-a-thons create a lot of motivation for the participating users. Over this time period, the Bashkir Wikimedians have participated in the following marathons:
- 1) w:ba:Проект:Кулинария_марафоны_2016 (1 Dec 2016 — 15 Jan 2017), 2) w:ba:Проект:Яңы йыл БУМ-ы! (15 Dec 2016 — 15 Jan 2017), 3) wmru:Конкурсы/Узнай Россию. Начни с Дона (21 Dec 2016 — 21 Apr 2017), 4) w:ba:Проект:Башҡортостан 100 (stage 2: 21 Feb 2017 — 31 May 2017), 5) Wikimedia CEE Spring 2017 (21 Mar 2017 — 31 May 2017).
- ru: Участие в творческих марафонах редактирования в режиме соперничества придает большой моральный стимул участникам. Башкирские викимедийцы за этот период участвовали на марафонахж 1) w:ba:Проект:Кулинария_марафоны_2016 (2016-12-01 — 2017-01-15), 2) w:ba:Проект:Яңы йыл БУМ-ы! (2016-12-15 — 2017-01-15), 3) wmru:Конкурсы/Узнай Россию. Начни с Дона (2016-12-21 — 2017-04-21), 4) w:ba:Проект:Башҡортостан 100 (второй этап 2017-02-21 — 2017-05-31), 5) Wikimedia CEE Spring 2017 (2017-03-21 — 2017-05-31).

- We understand the challenges you face in trying to remotely train people that are not as technically comfortable with that type of learning model. Maybe it is best to focus on in-person training or online training only for younger students.
- en: Yes, we agree to your recommendation. We already do small training for starting editors.
- ru: Да, мы с Вашей рекомендацией согласны и уже практикуем небольшие тренинги для начинающих редакторов.
- You also noted that you would like to "work to improve the training levels of lead editors, the leaders of separate projects, activity areas and Wiki-clubs". What are your priorities in terms of train-the-trainer capacity building? Is it project management, technical editing skills, teaching methods. We would be interested to know since we have supported a number of train-the-trainer workshops and may have resources to share.
- en: Basically all activity areas are important to us. However, at this stage we focus more on attracting and training new contributors.
- ru: Для нас важны практически все направления деятельности. Однако, на современном этапе мы больше внимания придаем вопросу привлечения и обучения новых участников. --Рөстәм Нурыев (talk) 11:36, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
- Access to laptops and reliable internet connection is an issue in many places around the world. Please note that we are able to provide user groups with funds to purchase a few laptops and wireless routers, we cannot fund the purchase of laptops for individuals.
- en: We understand this, and do not plan to purchase laptops in the future.
- ru: Мы это понимаем и в будущем не планируем приобретение ноутбуков.
- If you would like to extend the timeline of the grant without additional funding, you can make a request an extension at the bottom of the timeline page.
- en: OK. We need to extend the timeline of the grant without additional funding, and we will make an approriate request.
- ru: Хорошо. Нам необходимо продлить срок гранта без дополнительного финансирования и сделаем соответствующий запрос.
Thank you again for all your great work supporting the Bashkir community! Cheers, Alex Wang (WMF) (talk) 19:03, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
