*Incidentally, I'm having the same problem as in my previous grant application - the discussion on the talk page doesn't seem to be transcribed onto the project page in real time. Currently, I see Stevie's comments on the project page but '''not''' my reply to him even though it was 25 minutes ago that I submitted it. Is this a known bug?

* I've reviewed this request and I'm happy to give it my support. You are trusted user with a strong record of producing high quality images for the project, which are clearly in demand when it comes to the Bodleian Library. I note the expenses being claimed are round numbers, so I presume these are estimates. This isn't a problem though as there is flexibility available and I wouldn't loose sleep if the total cost went a little over £100.

**Yes, the expenses are estimates. I haven't booked anything yet as I was waiting for confirmation, but they were based on a quick search of what the likely costs would be. I will of course provide receipts so it's not a question of just asking for £100 and not justifying where it went. My guess is that it's more likely to be slightly under £100 than over. I assume that you'll be happy for me to take this as a confirmation that I should book transport and accommodation? I don't want to wait too long as accommodation will fill up and train tickets may get more expensive. [[User:Diliff|Diliff]] ([[User talk:Diliff|talk]]) 01:59, 2 March 2015 (GMT)

Discussion

I've just spotted this. I am definitely in favour as David's images are frequently stunning and beautiful. Stevie Benton (WMUK) (talk) 17:13, 27 February 2015 (GMT)

  • Thanks Stevie. You 'just spotted it'? Your comments came just 10 minutes after I submitted it, don't worry about being late to the party! ;-) Diliff (talk) 18:40, 27 February 2015 (GMT)
  • Incidentally, I'm having the same problem as in my previous grant application - the discussion on the talk page doesn't seem to be transcribed onto the project page in real time. Currently, I see Stevie's comments on the project page but not my reply to him even though it was 25 minutes ago that I submitted it. Is this a known bug? Diliff (talk) 19:07, 27 February 2015 (GMT)
    Yes, sort of. It takes the server a short while to update transclusions. CT Cooper · talk 20:26, 27 February 2015 (GMT)

      • Please wait for [[::User:Katie Chan (WMUK)|Katie Chan (WMUK)]] ([[::User talk:Katie Chan (WMUK)|talk]]⧼dot-separator⧽[[::Special:Contributions/Katie Chan (WMUK)|contribs]]) to comment, because it'll come out of a budget she has responsibility for. I will drop her a note to make sure she sees it soon. Richard Symonds (WMUK) (talk) 11:09, 2 March 2015 (GMT)
