Explain your plan

[edit]

Tell us about how you contribute currently, and how you would contribute if WMF were to gift a used laptop to you.

I am very much involved in Wikipedia from 2016. globally even my edit counts are good. Also every week we conduct Wikipedia workshop in St Aloysius College for 20 students. we have have been doing it from many years. I am the president of student association. I don't have my personal laptop. every time we ask college to provide computer lab and projector facilities. College provides most of the time. sometimes we had to cancel the workshop because of unavailability of the lab. if I get a laptop from Wikipedia I can definitely use it every week for the Wikipedia workshop. We have been teaching students how to write in Kannada language & Tulu language in Wikipedia.

  16. Oppose Oppose I would need further information from Santhosh before I could support this request - there's currently an indefinite block against you on the English Wikipedia and very strange editing behaviour which would need to be explained. I'd also like more information on the usage of the hardware in question - will it be used solely for editing workshops or will you use it to edit more generally ? Nick (talk) 20:01, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  17. Oppose Oppose 2209 out of 2803 edits on English Wikipedia, and 1936 out of 2888 on Kannada Wikipedia are edits reverting himself. Having a low edit count is not bad in itself, but artificially inflating them tells us a lot about the contributor. Platonides (talk) 22:21, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  18. Oppose Oppose per Platonides's comment above and others. Yoshi24517 (talk) 22:32, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  19. Oppose Oppose per BRPy, also user added quite a number of images to commons using different devices and his most recent image on commons was taken by a Nikon Z 6II, for those that don't know, that camera is worth around $USD2600, if he can afford a camera like that then he can afford a laptop..that said, user is currently globally locked claiming his account was compromised....sure lets go with that...also 4 supports above by WillyWillyWonka/Mayaanup/Nathanivor/Osheenjudy are all possibly 'socks' created by Santhosh to inflate his support here..--Stemoc 05:39, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
