I see that a few other outreach sessions have also done this. 狢 am
curious -- when you do this, what specific phrasing do you use? 狢 want
to know how to say "if you're not interested, you can leave if you want"
in a friendly, hospitable way, so your examples might help.

Thank you Mritunjaya, and nice observation Sumana!

One of the most common questions which I have received from new meet up and workshop participants is: "Do you get paid for doing this?" or "Will I get paid for working on Wikipedia?"

I'm interested in knowing how other members of the community handle these questions.
