Hello Ananth,

 

Wikimedia India ran an infrastructure support program in 2014-16. Here is a report by them about the change (increase) in the contributions by the recipients-

http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Reports/Infrastructure_Scholarship_2014_-_2016

 

I am not requesting you to create such a graphical report. Just add the contributions in front of the recipients’ usernames which you have already listed in public.

 

Regards,

Pavanaja

Hello Ananth,

 

I am aware that the recipients of laptop and/or internet support were not bound to contribute more to Wikipedia/Wikimedia projects. I am just curious to know the outcome. That’s all.

 

Your argument that sharing the metrics against usernames will be against privacy of the user can’t be accepted. Because you have already shared the usernames of the recipients here-

Since the usernames are already in public, how come listing the contributions in front of the usernames become privacy violation? Anyone who knows how to run the metrics can get the data. I also can run the metrics and generate it. But I don’t have much time to do that. Moreover I am not a paid employee like  you, who is paid by CIS for these kind of activities. Hence I requested you to give that data. But your arguments has fallacy.

 

Thanks and regards,

Pavanaja

Hello Pavanaja,

 

Thanks for your interest of you in the Project Tiger. I would like to answer your questions in the following points. 

  • The laptop support and internet stipend were not related to the article writing contest. We never said that the support recipients should be active during the article writing contest.
  • We will be not able to share the requested metrics against the usernames. As it's against the privacy of the user.
  • It was not an expectation or mandatory for the participants to contribute after receiving the support. 

If the community wants we can change the process in this iteration.

Dear Tito,

 

I have already seen those metrics. They are not giving the info that I am looking for. As already written by me –

I would appreciate the stats in the form –

  • Username, Articles created, no. of edits, data added (in kb/mb), uploads to commons
  • It would be better to give this stats from the date they received the chromebook and/or Internet.

Thanks and regards,

Pavanaja

Hello Pavanaja,

Thanks for the question. Project Tiger 1.0 had two parts, one supporting the Indian communities with infrastructure support. The second part was the edit-a-thon. These two parts were not related/linked to each other.

The support recipients' list was decided by a jury. Active Wikimedians who needed this support were eligible to apply. Over-All metrics may be seen here. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Project_Tiger_Editathon_2018/Report#Metrics

 

Thanks

Tito Dutta

Namaskaara,

 

Please provide the statistics of effectiveness of giving chromebooks and Internet connections earlier. I would appreciate the stats in the form –

Username, Articles created, no. of edits, data added (in kb/mb), uploads to commons

 

It would be better to give this stats from the date they received the chromebook and/or Internet.

 

I searched in the reports and could not find it.

Hello,

 

We are glad to inform you that Project Tiger 2.0/GLOW is going to start very soon. You know about Project Tiger first iteration where we saw exciting and encouraging participation from different Indian Wikimedia communities. To Know about Project Tiger 1.0 please see this page - https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Supporting_Indian_Language_Wikipedias_Program

 

Like project Tiger 1.0, This iteration will have 2 components

  1. Infrastructure support - Supporting Wikimedians from India with internet support for 6 months and providing Chrome books.
  2. Article writing contest - A 3-month article writing contest will be conducted for Indian Wikimedians communities. Following community feedback, we noted some community members wanted the process of article list generation to be improved. In this iteration there will be at least two lists of articles a) Google-generated list, b) community suggested a list. Google generated list will be given to the community members before finalising the final list. On the other hand, the community may create a list by discussing among the community over Village pump, Mailing list and similar discussion channels. 

We request you to go through these pages to know more about Project Tiger 2.0/GLOW

 

We will give you more updates about every step and procedure in the next two-three days. 

 

Thanks and Regards,
