Hi Friends,
I submitted a Wikimedia project grant proposal for the 2020 round. I would really appreciate it if you could check it out and endorse it if you support the proposal.

The last day to share support is just days away. If addressing bias on Wikipedia is important to you now is the time to speak up!
Thank you!
Best,

Hello,
I have a request, and this is only from my personal perspective and not anything official. Please do not use all caps like this on Wikimedia mailing lists. It comes across as SHOUTING, and what is important or urgent for one person may not be important or urgent for the dozens, hundreds, or thousands of other people on a Wikimedia mailing list.
Thanks,

If there's a deadline coming up for supporting research proposals, how about doing the right thing and post a link to all the research proposals?

For what it's worth, I'm completely fine with people requesting feedback on research-related grant proposals to WMF on Research-l, including individual proposals. My only objection here is to the use of all caps.
I'm speaking only for myself and others may have different opinions.
Thanks, Pine ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Pine )
Hi Stuart,
Ouch! That sounded a little pointy.
If anyone is curious and cannot find the link to the open project grant proposals, you can use this link: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Browse_applications

Jackie

Hi Stuart,
We ask Project Grant applicants to invite feedback from relevant communities on their proposals, such as on this mailing list. While I understand it is helpful for folks to be aware of all research-related Project Grant proposals, this is something you should ask a program officer for. It's not something an individual applicant should be expected to provide. I am supporting the Project Grants round, so here is that list of research-related proposals:
- Modelling and Populating Performing Arts Data in Wikidata https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Fjjulien/Modelling_and_Populating_Performing_Arts_Data_in_Wikidata - Misinformation And Its Discontents: Narrative Recommendations on Wikipedia's Vulnerabilities and Resilience https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Ocaasi/Misinformation_And_Its_Discontents:_Narrative_Recommendations_on_Wikipedia%27s_Vulnerabilities_and_Resilience - Translatathon@Uniba: Developing Transversal Competences https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Uniba_-_Dipartimento_LELIA/Translatathon@Uniba:_Developing_Transversal_Competences - Community Health Metrics: Understanding Editor Drop-off https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Community_Health_Metrics:_Understanding_Editor_Drop-off - Geogap in South Asia and Dutch Caribbean on Wikimedia projects https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Michelle_Boon_%26_Layka100/Geogap_in_South_Asia_and_Dutch_Caribbean_on_Wikimedia_projects - Addressing Implicit Bias on Wikipedia https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/JackieKoerner/Addressing_Implicit_Bias_on_Wikipedia
The community review period is ending soon, but we will still be reviewing feedback through the committee review period starting on 17 March 2020.
With thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris
This, for me, is a diversity issue.
Over the years I only seem to give feedback on grants when prompted by someone (it's been my only involvement in grants to date) and every time a potential grantee has prompted me to take a look at their grant, some other grant seems even better than the one I've been prompted to take a look at.
I suggest that rather than encouraging potentially grantees to solicit feedback on their grant, you encourage them to solicit feedback on all the grants up for funding. This would tend to minimize of well-connected, established people / groups getting more / better feedback and thus more likely to be grant recipients.

Stuart,
As far as I know, grant applicants for WMF grants have never been required to comment or share information regarding grant proposals other than their own.
I think that in the past, WMF staff or grant review committee members have solicited feedback for groups of grants.
I think that discussing solicitations for feedback regarding similar grants is fine, but I request that the discussion be in a separate thread. Soliciting feedback for groups of similar grants is a different topic from the original topic of this thread.
Thanks,
