I apologize for my initial mistake in what I thought was a one-person reply
to Anna, than unfortunately spammed the list. I fear that my mistake has
propagated further. Sorry to burden your inboxes...

Hello Michael,
Thanks for your note! I will connect you & forward your message to
my colleagues Jon Manton and Angela Pratesi who were key in
writing the grant. I know there was a proposal that went to the
Music Library Association which discussed this Wikipedia grant so
there might be additional details that can be added from that
document.
Best,
Anna

Hi Anna,
The proposal doesn't seem to give the motivation. That information
is in the email, but not (as far as I could see) on the websiite.
I tried to search the website for more information, but I couldn't
find anything. Is there a need to state the goal?
Also, the supportive information did not, I think, tell how the
participants would learn enough about the under-represented
artists, to be able to write Wikipedia articles that could survive
through the standard objections about under-documented people.
To be clear: I have participated in other edit-a-thons that also
tried to increase the visibility of people who were
under-represented. I support the goal! This email is not to
criticize, but to ask about whether there is time to make the
proposal itself stronger?
Also, I am ignorant about artists local to Saint Louis. Is there a
list of people who should become the topic of articles? I would
like to put some content into a brief support statement.
thanks,

Dear Boston-area DH colleagues,
I am co-leading a Wikipedia-edit-a-thon with colleagues from the
Music Library Association at the annual meeting in February 2019
in St. Louis, Missouri. We applied for a Wikipedia Rapid Grant
proposal and would be grateful to receive endorsements for the
proposal from a wide community to aid Wikipedia's grant funding
committee in making their decisions. You can find additional
details below from my colleague, Joy Doan, or you can view the
full proposal and grant information online.
Best,

Subject: [MLA-L] Please Endorse ETSC Wikipedia-edit-a-thon grant
To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>
Dear MLA Constituents,
The Emerging Technologies and Services Committee (ETSC), with the
support of the St. Louis Public Library—Central Library, will be
hosting a Wikipedia-edit-a-thon as a post-conference event in St.
Louis (February 2019).
From the proposal:
This Wikipedia edit-a-thon is focused on editing and
creating Wikipedia and Wikidata entries for un
(der)represented performers and composers who were
born in St. Louis or have significant connections to
the city. The goal of this event is to pair
experienced Wikipedia editors from the national music
library and local St. Louis communities with new or
novice editors to improve St. Louis music-related
content, notably highlighting members of marginalized
communities. The event will be free of charge and open
to the public, with a goal of bringing together a
national scholarly association and local community
expertise to contribute and improve Wikipedia in these
areas.
As a means to garner financial support for the event, ETSC has
submitted a Wikipedia Rapid Grant proposal. The members of ETSC
would be most grateful to have endorsements for the proposal from
MLA’s membership. These endorsements aid Wikipedia’s grant funding
committee in making their decisions.
To read the full proposal and endorse the grant, please visit:

.
ETSC thanks you for your support.
