Comments from DSaroyan (WMF)[edit]

Hello Chukydyk, thanks for submitting this Rapid Grant request. I reviewed your application and have the following questions and requests:

  • We now require all grantees to announce their projects and receive the Wikimedia community feedback in advance. Could you please announce this project and grant on the relevant community pages on the target wikis? Community notification may be most appropriate on a village pump, talk page, or mailing list. Please paste a link into the proposal page to where the relevant communities have been notified of this proposal, and to any other relevant community discussions.
  • Given the scope of your project, we think that some budget items are high:
    • 350 USD for “Online advertising campaign” is high. Please reduce the costs to 150 USD.
    • 275 USD for gift cards and 60 USD for “Consolation gifts” are also high. Please reduce these amounts, so that the total prize budget is 200 USD maximum.
    • Kindly reduce the contingency costs by half.
    • Please update the total requested budget after making these changes.
  • For how many participants are the Internet support costs?

Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 10:30, 24 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
