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'm not upset about the decision, I'm upset about the messaging. I sent a response saying so:
