Support details

Support type

What type of support you need

Chromebook : No, Not needed
Internet : Yes, needed

Reason

Why do you need this support (Internet)

I could not reply back to the readers/prospective writers or readers over Wikipedia discussions page and social media platforms on time due to limited connectivity.
Due to poor internet connection, many times long written articles get lost and I had to re-write everything from the beginning. This can get solved.
By getting fast Internet connectivity I can create/improve more contents, upload more photos/videos to Commons, reply queries of the readers on social media platforms in minimum to zero latency and do many more contributions for Odia language and communities.

Do you have a working laptop?

Yes, I have.

Had you received the support in the first iteration of Project Tiger?

No

Future activities

How will you use this in the next six months? I will:

improve/create more articles on Odia Wikipedia.
Promote more on social media.
Upload more photos on Commons.
Participate more on queries and discussions.
And many more activities, I will update my utilization reports Bimonthly on this page.

Strong support- Since I know him, he is quite active on Odia Wikipedia from welcoming new users to improving and rectifying mistakes of the new edits. In Project Tiger 2.0, he would definitely create some good articles, so it would help him. - Sangaram Keshari Senapati (talk) 18:21, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
