Comments from WMF

Hello CyberTroopers, thanks for submitting this Rapid Grant request. We are excited that you are planning to run the Wiki Loves Earth contest in Malaysia! I have reviewed you request and have a few comments that I would like you to address.

• Per the Rapid Grant Guidelines, the grant requests must be at least 500 USD. I suggest changing your budget to meet the minimum, perhaps by increasing the budget for prizes or by adding other eligible expenses, such as paid ads for social media promotion.
• Given that this grant will be credited to the Wikimedia Community User Group Malaysia, please change the grant type to "organization".
• In the proposal you have mentioned that you had published a complete list of protected areas. Could you please include a link to this list in the request page?

I will look forward to your response! Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 09:11, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Date extension

Hi! I would like to ask for extension on the report submission due to the extension of the contest deadline, Wiki Loves Earth 2020 in Malaysia. We're unable to send the complete data as the contest ended on 31 July. At first, the contest were planned to end on 30 June, unfortunately the Restrictions of Movement Order has prohibited participants from entering the protected areas so we've come out with a decision to extend it till end of July to make it fair for the participants. Thank you. CyberTroopers (talk) 13:30, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
