[Wikimediaindia-l] Do not donate to Wikipedia

2012-07-08 Thread Ravishankar
Hey,

Do not donate to Wikipedia because your money will go for insane grants like

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Participation:AbhiSuryawanshi/NASA_LARSS_program

I plan to run this campaign across all Social media networks if I continue
to see any such donation.

I hope I am wrong, but this doesnt look like it fits within the
participation assistance scheme.  Instead it looks like the assistance
is to cover travel to USA for an internship at NASA-related
organisation.

The grant request page is quite confusing.

 Something by way of explanation would be nice as well? As far as I can
 read, the WMF/Grants Team believes it fits one or more of the goals
 and did fund the grant.

 Why are you holding out such a threat?

 Thank you.

 Best,

 Gautam

*John:* Is a presentation not an internship for what I read.

*Gautan*: The Grants team in this case is Asaf only. The GAC didn't
review participation grants.

*Ravishankar*: If you want to make your concern visible, post on Wikimedia
mailing list wikimedi...@lists.wikimedia.org
