Jackson Peebles: I am a Wikipedia editor with reviewer, rollback, course instructor, and account creator permissions. I primarily focus on welcoming new users, reverting vandalism, and minor copyedits. I regularly use the STiki and Twinkle software/scripts. I am an undergraduate student who is majoring in Behavioral Science at Western Michigan University and a member of the American Red Cross DSHR System and the IFRC, where I have specialized in digital media on behalf of the international organization. Community Trust and Training: I wish to fully disclose that I have never undertaken a grant project for the Wikimedia Foundation nor made tutorials for others. However, I have vast experience in using the tutorials of others, including those of the IFRC, American Red Cross, Western Michigan University, FEMA, and numerous other entities. I have completed Adoption training from long-time Wikipedia editor User:Go Phightins! and am undergoing the final stages of CVUA training from user:Nerdfighter. I have garnered sufficient community trust to receive the account creator, course instructor, reviewer, and rollback rights. I am also open to editor review. Furthermore, I have been the recipient of multiple grants for my own research in other areas (mainly Speech Pathology and Audiology) and have never been found to have misappropriated funds, and all of my projects have been either successful or are still in progress. Video Tutorials and Guided Learning: Per suggestions on project talk pages, I seek to create video tutorials using Adobe Captivate to guide users on how to utilize the STiki tool. I also hope to combine the CVUA and Adoption programs into a multi-stage tutorial that I would then incorporate into the US Education Project on Wikipedia in its own course page, which users could enroll in. Finally, I would seek community input for other tutorials and guided learning. Impact on WMF initiatives: This project would benefit Wikipedia by enabling a greater amount of users to utilize tools that streamline Wikipedia vandalism correction, edit review, and good faith reversion. Furthermore, it would result in editors who are more experienced and able to deal with complex situations. It further ties in the Education Program, garnering additional publicity for the project and benefiting its users. Amount requested & budgetary justification: I desire $299.00 for an educational Adobe Captivate license, $17.94 for applicable taxes for said software, $249.95 for a professional-grade headset (Sennheiser USA PC 360) for recording tutorials, $12.50 for shipping/handling for said headset, and $500.00 for an estimated 100 hours in labor compensation in excess of normal volunteer activities for the Wikimedia Foundation, including electricity and internet fees (which may be in excess of norms encountered). This totals $1079.39 USD. -- Jackson Peebles ( talk) 05:02, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
Assuming we proceed w/o the "compensation" aspect, I think all is well and I am prepared to approve the expenditure. I would like for you to make some formal statement regarding deliverables, though, just to get it on the record. I'm not sure what this should look like, but maybe something along the lines of: "I commit to produce a minimum of X tutorials with Y months time. They will uploaded to Commons. I will track my progress and be open to community input at location Z." With that, I will start the paperwork along. Thanks,

Andrew Krizhanovsky: I am researcher in Institute of Applied Mathematical Research of the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IAMR) [2]. My project is devoted to an extraction of information from Wiktionary and construction of machine-readable dictionary (database + GUI). Project page: http://code.google.com/p/wikokit/ I) The maximum goal (in distant future) is to extract all information (i.e. all sections of entry) from all wiktionaries and convert data to machine-readable database. II) Today's result. Now machine-readable Wiktionary contains the following information extracted from Russian Wiktionary and English Wiktionary:
(*) Quotations were extracted only from Russian Wiktionary. III) The next step (supported by Flow Funding grant, I hope) will be an extraction and analysis of " context labels" from Russian and English Wiktionaries. "Context labels" are very important lexicographic information, which could be used in many tasks of Computational linguistics (e.g. sentiment analysis, word sense disambiguation). Participant project roles: I am programmer and researcher.

Amount requested & budgetary justification: 2000$ This project will require 6-9 month. And it will be finished in this year (2013). The money will be spent on my salary during this project. -- Andrew Krizhanovsky ( talk) 09:24, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
