:This sounds good and looks like reasonable cost, I also see the timescale is short so I hope we can respond quickly. It would, though, be good to have some clarification re: whether the proposal is to add new articles (or other content) or if it's to strengthen ties between articles (improving their quality), etc. and if you have a set of target articles in advance.

This sounds good and looks like reasonable cost, I also see the timescale is short so I hope we can respond quickly. It would, though, be good to have some clarification re: whether the proposal is to add new articles (or other content) or if it's to strengthen ties between articles (improving their quality), etc. and if you have a set of target articles in advance.

Thank you for the opportunity. We've had to reschedule the day to the 29th of May to avoid clashes. Initially we had wanted to do everything in a long day of editing. However because it's now an evening day starting from 4:30 finishing most likely at 10. The key aspects we'll be focusing on is adding content of new tools, references and also creating stronger links between existing articles. I hope this is clear

Hi Mitchell yes we'd love to invite and host yourself we'll be having the event in our offices in Wayra. We'll be making sure to publicise this very well.

  • £5 per person for the food and drink is perfectly reasonable. Same with £1 per person on pens and other materials. This is clearly within the mission of the charity, so I see no reason not to give this our approval. CT Cooper · talk 03:26, 30 April 2014 (BST)

Thank you very much, we have had to move the event a few days later on the 29th but we hope to make it well worth Wiki's grant
