Me, who never had an incident with Trust&Safety that I know of, who has never been blocked and only lost sysop tools (on several projects) because of illness: But what if Trust&Safety doesn't clear me to go to #wikimania ?

Just received this response:
"Dear Pax Ahimsa Gethen,
We deeply apologize for this oversight. We understand this unacceptable and we won't make any excuse for this. We will recheck carefully before we send any communication means in the future.
Best,
Wikimania 2026 Core Organizing Team
"
"Thanks for the update. I ask that in the future, that you improve communications with scholarship applicants so that we 1. Get more timely responses, and 2. Are correctly addressed by our actual names. I realize you are all busy and also volunteers as I am, but this kind of thing is dehumanizing and depressing at a time I'm already feeling invisible.
Sincerely,
- Pax Ahimsa Gethen, aka Funcrunch. Not 'N/A'."

I applied for a scholarship for #Wikimania for the 25th anniversary of #Wikipedia. After a lengthy wait I got a boilerplate email starting with "Dear N/A" saying I was on the waiting list, and would be updated within 2 weeks. After 2 weeks with no updates I sent a message asking for information. Today I got another boilerplate email addressed to "N/A" saying that I hadn't gotten the scholarship.
I'm not upset about the decision, I'm upset about the messaging. I sent a response saying so:
