From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

Thank you for providing the financial report. Can you please provide a few more details on why there is discrepancies between the budgeted and actual amounts spent for the below line items?

  • Work with marginalized groups
  • Wiki expeditions
  • Unforeseen expenses (what is included in this line item?)

Thanks, Alex Wang (WMF) (talk) 20:32, 7 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

The manager who suggested this project (Work with marginalized groups) in the end didn't have enough time (due his private circumstances) to implement it. We hold only workshop to show how to use Wikipedia.
One part of Wiki expeditions was holding event in the place where is supposed to take photos. Project team did not have much success in negotiations with local institution in order to get free place and logistic support for event.
In unforeseen expenses are calculated hygienic maintenance of offices, refreshments for office (water, coffee, juice, tea ...), bulbs and other similar things for office, services of a lawyer for writing agreement, community support (refreshments and food during workshops and General Assembly) etc. -MikyM (talk) 09:24, 10 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
