انواع بورسیه‌ها

س: "چه نوع بورسیه‌هایی موجود است؟"

A: For Wikimania 2016, there are two types of scholarships available from the Wikimedia Foundation: Full scholarships and Partial scholarships. See Scholarships/Scholarship details for more information. Other Wikimedia organizations might offer full or partial scholarships as well – see Wikimedia organization scholarships.

س: "چرا بورسیه‌های جزیی که امسال توسط بنیاد ویکی‌مدیا ارایه میشوند در سال‌های 2014 و 2015 موجود نبودند؟"

A: At the request of the 2016 organizing committee, partial scholarships are being offered this year. Given the previous concerns about the low acceptance rate of partial scholarships and the overhead in reimbursing them for Wikimania 2013, the evaluation of the new Scholarship program (instated in 2015 and continued in 2016) will include an evaluation of the acceptance and usage of partial scholarships.

س: "آیا بورسیه‌های مربوط به هر کشوری هم عرضه میشود؟"

A: Wikimedia Foundation scholarships can be awarded to a resident of almost any country. Scholarships offered by other Wikimedia organizations are often country specific – see Wikimedia organization scholarships.

شایستگی بورسیه

س: "چه کسی شایسته‌ی دریافت بورسیه‌ی بنیاد ویکی‌مدیا برای حضور در ویکی‌مانیا است؟"

A: While anyone can apply for a scholarship to attend Wikimania, the most eligible candidates are active contributors to one or more Wikimedia projects, organizations, or initiatives who have a clear interest in Wikimania and the Wikimedia movement. Note however, as the program supports volunteer participation, individuals whose participation is tied to paid work are not eligible for a scholarship. Furthermore, unlike in previous years, individuals who solely contribute to non-Wikimedia free content projects or movements are no longer encouraged to apply, as Wikimedia related activities are now the main basis for evaluation.

س: "آیا هیچ محدودیت سنی وجود دارد؟"

A: No, anyone is welcome to apply. However, if a child applicant is offered a scholarship, the consent of their parent(s) or guardian(s) will be required before it is awarded. For this process, a child is defined as someone below the age of eighteen years when their application is submitted.

س: "آیا درخواست کنندگان باید با هرگونه مرحله یا شرایطی قبل از ارایه‌ی درخواست موافق باشند؟"

ج: بله، آنها در پایین فرم درخواست هستند - تمام شرایط و مراحل باید بررسی شوند پیش از آنکه فرم درخواست ارایه شود.

س: "چرا درخواست کنندگان باید با یک سری از مرحله‌ها و شرایط قبل از ارایه‌ی درخواستشان موافق باشند؟"

A: To ensure that they understand what they will be expected to do and what they will be required to pay for if they receive a scholarship.

س: "آیا همه‌ی درخواست‌کنندگان باید یک موافقت‌نامه‌ی شخصی را پیش از ارسال درخواست خود امضا کنند؟"

A: Yes, this agreement is located on the bottom of the application form – all applications must indicate their consent to the agreement by entering their full name in the appropriate box. Applicants below the age of eighteen years (see above) must also have their legal parent or guardian enter their full name in a separate box.

Q: Why do applicants have to consent to a privacy agreement before submitting their application?

A: For legal reasons and to ensure applicants understand what will happen to the data they submit.

س: "اگر درخواست‌کننده‌ای بورسیه برای شرکت در دوره‌های پیشین ویکی‌مانیا را دریافت کرده باشد، آیا شایسته‌ی دریافت برای ویکی‌مانیای 2016 نیز هست ؟"

A: Yes, except for any 2014 or 2015 scholarship recipients who failed to complete a post-conference report. Furthermore, previous Wikimania attendees or Scholarships recipients will be asked to answer an additional question on their 2016 application.

Q: If I can afford to travel to and attend Wikimania, should I apply?

A: Scholarship recipients are not selected based on financial need, as such factors cannot be assessed by WMF staff or the Scholarship Committee when reviewing applications. However, it is asked that applicants carefully consider their financial need against the needs of other applicants from all over the world. Many applicants do not have the financial means to attend Wikimania without this opportunity.

نوشتن درخواست بورسیه

س: "آیا درخواست کنندگان متعدد میتوانند یک درخواست مشترک ارایه دهند؟"

A: No, every applicant must submit their own application to be considered.

س: "آیا درخواست کنندگان باید به زبان انگلیسی درخواست کنند؟"

A: No, but it is strongly recommended that they are, as English is the only language that all members of the Scholarship Committee can understand. In the event that an application is submitted in a language other than English, translation attempts will be made, but this may require the use of computer translators which do not always provide accurate translations. Note that as part of the Phase 1 selection criteria, applicants must provide evidence of English language abilities that are at a level that would enable them to participate in Wikimania, which is primarily conducted in English, and submitting an application in English is an effective way of fulfilling this requirement.

س: "آیا از درخواست کنندگان انتظار میرود که به تمام پرسش‌های فرم درخواست پاسخ دهند؟"

A: Yes, except when not applicable or relevant to the applicant. If an applicant fails to make a reasonable effort to answer the questions, their application will likely fail the Phase 1 selection criteria.

س: "چرا فرم درخواست یک سری از اطلاعات شخصی را میپرسد؟"

A: To assist in the distribution of scholarships and for the purposes of diversity monitoring. Note that recipients will be selected based only on factors described in the selection process.

س: "چه نا‌مهای کاربری در پروژه ویکی‌مدیا را درخواست کنندگان باید در فرم درخواستشان ثبت کنند؟"

A: All usernames that have been used by the applicant for contributing to Wikimedia projects. If a username is shared with someone else, this should be noted on the application. Unused accounts need not be listed. In any case, there is no obligation for applicants to list all accounts they own or use for editing.

س: "آیا درخواست کنندگان میتوانند لینک‌هایی به صفحه‌هایی در دیگر وب‌سایت‌ها به عنوان مدرک برای پاسخ‌هایشان ارایه دهند؟"

A: Yes, this is encouraged, especially for answering the enrichment related questions. However, links to on-wiki or off-wiki sites should be associated with clear descriptions of the applicant's involvement and contribution. Reviewers will consider all relevant information available to them when reviewing applications.

س: "چه مقدار از درخواست کنندگان انتظار میرود که موقع پاسخ دادن به پرسش‌ها بنویسند؟"

A: Enough to give reviewers a clear picture of the applicant – guidance on what to write is provided with the Phase 2 selection criteria. The appropriate length for an answer varies from applicant-to-applicant depending on what they have to show. For most applicants, between three and five normal sized paragraphs per question answer will be sufficient. Reviewers do not expect to receive a dissertation, but overly short answers will usually fail to support the application clearly enough.

س: "آیا کاربران مشهور میتوانند پرسش‌هایی که از آنان درباره‌ی مشارکتشان در پروژه‌های ویکی‌مدیا میپرسد را نادیده بگیرند؟"

A: No. Having more contributions should normally mean providing longer answers, not shorter answers or no answers at all. On grounds of fairness, all applicants are expected to make a reasonable effort to answer the questions as per the Phase 1 selection criteria.

س: "آیا درخواست کنندگان میتوانند درخواستشان را پس از ارایه تغییر دهند؟"

A: Unfortunately not. It is recommended that applicants draft their application carefully and ensure they say everything they need to say before submission. However, additional information can be submitted by applicants to wikimania-scholarshipswikimedia.org where a member of the Scholarship Committee or Wikimedia Foundation staff will note the new information on the user's application. Please do not submit an application twice; this creates a lot of additional work for reviewers.

Scholarship value and reimbursement process

س: "یک بورسیه‌ی بنیاد ویکی‌مدیا هزینه‌ی چه چیزهایی را میپردازد؟"

A: A Wikimedia Foundation full scholarship will cover the cost of an individual's round-trip travel as arranged by the Wikimedia Foundation travel agency, shared accommodation for up to 6 nights as arranged by the Wikimedia Foundation, the conference registration fee, and the shuttle service to and from the hotel and conference venue. Note that most meals during the conference are covered by the conference registration fee, such as lunches and receptions. A Wikimedia Foundation partial scholarship will only cover shared accommodation and the conference registration fee.

س: "چه هزینه‌هایی شامل بورسیه‎‌ی بنیاد ویکی‌مدیا "نمیشوند"؟"

A: Expenses that are not covered include any incidental costs (new passport, travel guides, plug adapters, clothes, etc.), local transportation during the conference (except airport transfers), meals outside of the conference venue, costs related to being accompanied by families and friends, and all expenses associated with any vacation taken outside of the conference dates. Please note that during the conference, some meals are provided. The Wikimedia Foundation will not normally cover the cost of obtaining a visa (see Travel) – exceptions may be made upon request.

Q: How will the Wikimedia Foundation pay for the expenses of scholarship recipients? Send them the money? Reimburse them?

A: The Wikimedia Foundation will pay directly for conference registration fees, travel, and shared accommodation. For the booking of transport, applicants are required to use a travel booking service contracted by the Wikimedia Foundation. For transportation to and from the airport (in both their home country and in Italy), WMF will reimburse scholarship recipients via Western Union, once recipients turn in their relevant receipts.

Q: Can Wikimedia Foundation scholarship recipients book their own travel arrangements and ask for reimbursement?

A: No, as a condition of submitting an application all applicants must agree to use the travel booking service provided by the Wikimedia Foundation.

س: "چه زمانی من باید برای ویکی‌مانیا نام نویسی کنم؟"

ج: افرادی که بورسیه دریافت میکنند کد مخصوصی را برای ثبت نام در همایش دریافت خواهند کرد. تمام انتخابات نهایی برای بورسیه‌های بنیاد ویکی‌مدیا باید در اواسط آوریل اعلام شود (تاریخ‌های مهم را ببینید؛ آن صفحه در طول مراسم بروزرسانی خواهد شد). توصیه نمیشود که درخواست‌کنندگان تا زمانی که انتخاب نهایی درباره‌ی درخواستشان کرده‌اند، ثبت نام کنند.

س: "آیا بنیاد ویکی‌مدیا کمکی برای ویزا خواهد کرد؟

A: An invitation letter for all scholarship recipients requiring a visa to attend the conference will be provided (see Travel). We expect each recipient to contact their local Italian consulate or embassy on their own or through a visa service and pay any fees. If paying the visa fee is a hardship, the Foundation will cover this expense.

س: "آیا درخواست کنندگان علاقه‌مند به هم بورسیه‌های بنیاد ویکی‌مدیا و هم بورسیه‌های نهادی دیگر از ویکی‌مدیا نیاز به دو بار درخواست دارند؟"

See Scholarships Wikimedia organizations scholarships for more detail.

س: "نهادهای ویکی‌مدیا چگونه انتخاب میکنند که چه کسی بورسیه‌ی آنها را دریافت کند؟"

A: Final decisions on successful applications are usually made by the organization themselves. If an organization is using applications for Wikimedia Foundation scholarships (see above), they may take the reviews completed by WMF staff and the Scholarship Committee as a starting point. The organizations which do not use these applications will carry out their own review and selection process independently of both the Scholarship Committee and the Wikimedia Foundation.

س: "چگونه بورسیه‌های دیگر نهادهای ویکی‌مدیا با بورسیه‌های بنیاد ویکی‌مدیا تفاوت دارد؟"

A: They usually cover the same or similar expenses, but it varies by organization – see Scholarships Wikimedia organizations scholarships
