Proofreading queries on report draft

edit

Greetings, Agbalagba! Thank you for your work on preparing the grant report. T Cells suggested I write my impressions of the workshop participants' activity because I noticed it in Recent changes the very next day. Meanwhile, I thought to help by proofreading your draft of the report in English. I did some minor copy editing for wording, as I have experience with such reports. (I worked for 15 years in a historical museum with frequent grant funding and paperwork.) For now, I have two queries you'll see in Grants talk:Project/Rapid/Yoruba Wikimedians User Group/Follow up training for Yoruba language students of Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education/Report. I'd appreciate getting these points clarified, and either of us can make the corrections on the report draft itself. -- Cheers, Deborahjay (talk) 19:48, 8 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

I have made the corrections on the draft and responded to your queries on the draft talk page. Thanks for your help. Regards. Agbalagba TC 19:16, 10 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Greetings, Agbalagba! Regarding your report on the early March Yoruba Wikimedians UG training project for AOCED students: I just wrote up my observations.

If appropriate, please add them to the report itself or wherever they'll do the most good. -- Deborahjay (talk) 19:07, 18 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi! I'm contacting you as one of the participants in the Wikimedia Summit 2022, to kindly ask for your feedback through a 5-10 minute survey to evaluate 'Baserow' (note: the survey is on a Google form).
