While this might be a valid request, I'm a bit concern about the % of the
participants in the RFC. I don't think it's a good idea for this % of
participant to make a binding decision for an entirely disjoint community many

On behalf of the Wikimedia User Group Nigeria, I'm pleased to announce our
intent to host WIKIDABA 2017 in Lagos State or Abuja, the federal capital

Hi Lodewijk,
You might be right but I don't see where it was published that scholarships are
actually distributed through chapters. Even if that's the case, did Turkey,
Central America, South America, Mexico, and the Middle East have multiple
chapters? Why did Wikimedia ZA got one full and one
Rupert, I don't see mobile editing replacing the conventional desktop editing
experience but I disagree with your claim that mobile editing is "unusable".
This assertion is certainly not true. Personally, I created over 500 articles
on Wikipedia with thousands of edit to other articles through
That should not be on this thread. You can start a new thread on "Wikimedia

Asaf directed that comment to Olaniyan but this is not about Olaniyan not
receiving Wikimanian scholarship but the under-representation of established
Wikimedia communities in Africa. Olaniyan is just one out of hundreds of
contributors to Wikimedia projects from Africa. I remind you that no one
I don't think the size is the problem here but the disproportionate
overrepresentation of some region/country.
I agree with Douglas on the need to increase the number of editors from Africa.
This will also help to improve the coverages of Africa-related contents on
Wikimedia projects. Asaf and

I'm a bit worried about Ellie Young's comment that "Geographic regions are
*not* the emphasis of the program."
My understanding of Wikimania Scholarship program is that Full scholarships are
subject to quotas, while there is usually no geographical or linguistic limit
to partial scholarships.

Nkansah Rexford, I have no idea of why you directed such a non-sequitur comment
to me. Regrettably, your tone is condescending with lack of empathy. Everyone
have the right to voice their concerns and you're not in the best position to
criticize them. That being said, Nobody begged for Wikimania

Hi Ginevra,
No scholarship was awarded to any member of the Wikimedia User Group Nigeria.
This is worrisome as Nigeria will not be represented at Wikimania. I don't
