Grants talk:Project/Rapid/Modjou/Wiktionary edit-a-thons/Report

Hello Modjou thank you for submitting your final report. I really enjoyed reading your report. I especially was interested to see that:

You created a form to gather information from potential participants and selected from amongst those who showed interest. I haven't seen this process amongst other grantees but was excited to see this approach to increase retention.
It was also great to read that you paired up participants so that those fluent in Baoule were able to help those who were not.
Lastly, even though I understand providing prizes for everyone encourages all participants it is not something we support through our grants program. Just wanted to caution against that for future projects.

I am accepting your final report and expense documentation. Best regards, WJifar (WMF) (talk) 22:39, 19 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi WJifar (WMF),

Thank you for your comments, I took note. As for the term "prizes" that I use here, I think it was a translation error that I made. We did not give a prize considering that this editathon was not a contest. We handed only souvenirs or gadgets to the different participants. Do you think it will be a problem in the future?--Modjou (talk) 13:34, 20 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
