WikiConference NA + WikiCred Microgrant Submissions Open - request up to $10k for credibility projects by Apr 6!
by Kevin Payravi 30 Mar '20

30 Mar '20

Hello, Back in November at WikiConference North America 2019, we announced that grants would be made available for projects related to strengthening credibility and reliability in the Wikimedia space and beyond. WikiConference North America, in collaboration with the Credibility Coalition, MisinfoCon, and Hacks/Hackers, has announced that the WikiCred grants program is now launching! These grants are made possible through the generous support of Craig Newmark Philanthropies, Facebook, and Microsoft. This initiative offers microgrants ranging between $250 and $10,000 to individuals and teams to create and pilot projects on supporting credibility on the internet using Wikimedia and lessons from the Wikimedia community. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. The first deadline to receive funding is April 6th. Learn more and apply here: https://www.wikicred.org/ Please feel free to share this with people in your network who might be interested. If you have any questions, I recommend filling out the form at the bottom of the website - that will send your message to the entire WikiCred team. Cheers, Kevin Payravi SuperHamster on-wiki

Request for short translations into indigenous languages of the Americas
by Pine W 22 Mar '20

22 Mar '20

Hello colleagues, You may be familiar with the "What's making you happy this week?" emails that User:Clovermoss and I send to Wikimedia-l. If you are able to do this or to reach out to someone with the necessary knowledge, I would appreciate having someone add one or more translations of the sentence "What's making you happy this week?" for one or more indigenous American languages [1], especially Coast Salish languages [2]. Please add any translations to a subpage or the talk page of https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Pine/WMYHTW_translations. Having even a single indigenous American language translation would be helpful. Thank you very much, Pine ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Pine ) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous_languages_of_the_Americas [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coast_Salish_languages
