Blue Rasberry (talk) 20:14, 9 January 2013 (UTC) Wikipedia Ambassadors update Hi! You're getting this message because you are or have been a Wikipedia Ambassador. A new term is beginning for the United States and Canada Education Programs, and I wanted to give you an update on some important new information if you're interested in continuing your work this term as a Wikipedia Ambassador. You may have heard a reference to a transition the education program is going through. This is the last term that the Wikimedia Foundation will directly run the U.S. and Canada programs; beginning in June, a proposed thematic organization is likely to take over organizing the program. You can read more about the proposal here. Another major change in the program will take effect immediately. Beginning this term, a new MediaWiki education extension will replace all course pages and Ambassador lists. (See Wikipedia:Course pages and Help:Education Program extension for more details.) Included in the extension are online volunteer and campus volunteer user rights, which let you create and edit course pages and sign up as an ambassador for a particular course. If you would like to continue serving as a Wikipedia Ambassador — even if you do not support a class this term — you must create an ambassador profile. If you're no longer interested in being a Wikipedia Ambassador, you don't need to do anything. Please do these steps as soon as possible First, you need the relevant user rights for Online and/or Campus Ambassadors. (If you are an admin, you can grant the rights yourself, for you as well as other ambassadors.) Just post your rights request here, and we'll get you set up as quickly as possible. Once you've got the ambassador rights, please set up at a Campus and/or Online Ambassador profile. You can do so at: Special:CampusAmbassadorProfile Special:OnlineAmbassadorProfile Going forward, the lists of Ambassadors at Special:CampusAmbassadors and Special:OnlineAmbassadors will be the official roster of who is an active Ambassador. If you would like to be an Ambassador but not ready to serve this term, you can un-check the option in your profile to publicly list it (which will remove your profile from the list). After that, you can sign on to support courses. The list of courses will be at Special:Courses. (By default, this lists "Current" courses, but you can change the Status filter to "Planned" to see courses for this term that haven't reached their listed start date yet.) As this is the first term we have used the extension, we know there will be some bugs, and we know the feature set is not as rich as it could be. (A big wave of improvements is already in the pipeline. And if you know MediaWiki and could help with code review, we'd love to have your help!) Please reach out to me (Sage Ross) with any complaints, bug reports, and feature suggestions. The basic features of the extension are documented at Wikipedia:Course pages, and you can see a tutorial for setting up and using them here. Communication and keeping up to date In the past, the Education Program has had a pretty fragmented set of communication channels. We're trying to fix that. These are the recommended places to discuss and stay up-to-date on the education program: The education noticeboard has become the main on-wiki location for discussion of the Education Program. You can post there about broad education program issues as well as issues with individual courses. The Ambassadors Announce email list is a very low-traffic announcements list of important information all Ambassadors need to be aware of. We encourage all Ambassadors (and other interested Wikipedians) to subscribe to the list; follow the instructions on the link to add your email address. If you use IRC regularly, or need to try to reach someone immediately, the #wikipedia-en-ambassadors connect IRC channel is the place to find me and fellow Ambassadors. Ambassador training and resources We now have an online training for Ambassadors, which is intended to be both an orientation about the Wikipedia Ambassador role for newcomers and the manual for how to do the role. (There are parallel trainings for students and for educators as well.) Please go through the training if you feel like you need a refresher on how a typical class is supposed to go and where the Ambassadors fit in, or if you want to review and help improve it. If there's something you'd like to see added, or other suggestions you have for it, feel free to edit the training and/or leave feedback. A primer on setting up and using course pages is included in the educators' training. The Resources page of the training is the main place for Ambassador-related resources. If there's something you think is important as a resource that's not on there, please add it. Finally, whether or not you work with any classes this term, I encourage you to post entries to the Trophy Case whenever you see excellent work from students or if you have great examples from past semesters. And, as always, let students (and other editors!) know when they do things well; a little WikiLove goes a long way! --Sage Ross (WMF) (talk) 20:56, 14 January 2013 (UTC) Please join WikiProject Women artists!

Pharos (talk) (You can unsubscribe from future notifications for NYC-area events by removing your name from this list.) Educational Game Hello, There are several things to consider here. An editor made an edit that runs up very close against Wikipedia policy (more on that later). Any edit that possibly runs afoul of policy has to be considered a "bold" edit. I reverted. The next step, as per BRD (bold, revert, discuss) is to discuss the issue before reverting me again. Reverting the edit I made in good faith, that was an attempt to follow Wikipedia policy, gets you very close to edit warring. Next, Wikipedia policy dictates that we should only use primary sources with great care. You stated in your message on my talk page "Your comment about the need for summaries rather than primary sources is a good point,". No, it's not a "good point", it is a matter of policy. You went on to say "but in this case (and since we couldn't immediately identify any suitable source to fit this)" which is the very reason for the policy we have with regard to primary sources which you can read about here. Wikipedia is a general purpose encyclopedia that attempts to summarize what verifiable and reliable sources have already summarized (thus we are a tertiary source). The reader of Wikipedia by definition does not have the knowledge about all these subjects to be able to determine if the primary source quoted is a fringe theory or something that will some day be part of a consensus view in that field. Any interpretation or judgement that you may make about that primary source is basically original research which is against Wikipedia policy as well. Further, you stated "this was done in a Wikipedia Education Program class project [Technology & Pedagogy graduate school class] by a graduate student Cshanesimpson (taught by Theredproject) working in this academic area". It does not matter if this person is the foremost expert in the field of technology & pedagogy that does not mean that they get to ignore Wikipedia policy. If this were an encyclopedia with a formal editorial board that oversaw the contributions of recognized experts in the relevant fields then we could rely on that person's opinions on subject matter. But that is not how Wikipedia operates, instead we all always have to follow the policies and guidelines put in place by our fellow Wikipedia editors unless we can achieve a new consensus with regard to those policies or guidelines. Also, it is not clear to me but it appears that you are stating that this is part of a class project? If so you might want to read up on WP:ASSIGN which has lots of good advice and reiterates much of what I've said here. Finally, you stated "These are really useful to people investigating this subject so it would be helpful to have this available." Useful to whom? Certainly not the average Wikipedia user looking for general information in the form of a summary about the topic! If you mean experts in the field then perhaps there would be a better venue for this kind of information. Thanks, SQGibbon (talk) 18:29, 1 March 2014 (UTC) ENG 103 Hi Ann.

I have a lot of writing issues and looking forward to becoming an expert myself. I'm currently enrolled in Eng 103 in La Guardia Community College.I'm reading “Kindred”, by Octavia E. Butler the main character Dana Franklin has time warped into the early 1800’s physically and mentally into a society she’s not use to. While living in California she teleports into another universe which wasn’t like the spanish colonies she was used to, but unfortunately a time where the law was against her and she had no protection. Dana time traveled to a time of slavery where people of color was judged by their skin and worked hard labor until sunset, were beaten, sold to the highest bidder,raped and separated from their families for profit,power and authority .Also Blacks weren't considered as human beings but property. She knew racism existed from movies and and television series but being faced with it was a challenge in itself because unlike television since she was African American if she got caught she could have be one them. It all began when she was with her husband Kevin who she loved and adored she and kevin were talking in a room then she fell on the floor and vanished very mysteriously and without any reasoning. She came into a world where time was different and very dangerous for African Americans. Where she sees a boy by the named Rufus drowning in lake and his mother in desperation to scared to save him crying on the shore. So Dana takes immediate action to save him and why she’s trying the resuscitate him with CPR procedures the mother starts to punch, abuse and yell at her to get off her son. The little boy immediately comes back to life and his father puts a gun to Dana’s head and then she vanishes again back to Altadena California. When she appears back home her husband is in shock that she appeared back in the same place but in a different time and season and it’s now her birthday.And that's not all. It's get more wierd and awkward for Dana and son Me and many others will be creating a wikipage on it.I'm so excited.Watoflifej23 (talk) 18:33, 23 March 2014 (UTC) New Wikipedia articles posted by ITP Core 2 class Hi Mozucat!

If it is accurate do you know if a response from the conference organizers is forthcoming? I won't spend time explaining exactly how upsetting this is and how very bad it looks on its face until the accuracy of the report is confirmed. It looks really bad, though, and I really hope there's a plausible explanation. Note that I'm not asking about the rejection of Kohs's presentation, but only about the allegation that he was barred from an event touted as "open to all participants, regardless of previous level of involvement with Wikipedia or the Wikimedia projects. We welcome the curious, the skeptical, and others wishing to engage in meaningful conversation about the Wikimedia movement in the United States, free culture and digital rights, advocacy and outreach, community building, and technology." I posted the same question on Newyorkbrad's talk page, but he declined to respond substantively. I am also leaving it on the talk pages of the other conference organizers.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 14:43, 4 June 2014 (UTC) You are the very best, so you get to... Feed the Bunnies!!

Edu Banners FYI: In the course of talking to Ryan about edu banners (you can see the discussion on his page) I figured out that what has changed is that the generic banner is really obvious on the course page because it is linked (blue) and the way the first sentence is written implies that we should use it, but the one we are supposed to use--that links directly to the course--is buried in the paragraph, so it is really easy to miss (as I did). So I need to re-banner. Boo. .

Invite to the African Destubathon Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. It could be one of the content targets for your AfroCrowd group. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most geography, wildlife and women articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African women and any topic under the sun! Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles during your editathon or as independent editors, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. If you could help publicize this too and get more people involved I'd be grateful, thanks.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:55, 5 October 2016 (UTC) Sun October 16: CommonsLab / Open House NY Photo Contest + Hackathon Sunday October 16, 2pm: CommonsLab / Open House NY Photo Contest + Hackathon On Sunday, October 16, Wikimedia NYC will host a multimedia tutorial, workshop, and hackathon focused on Wikimedia Commons and the work processes for cultural multimedia wiki-projects.

Benoit Rochon (president), Amqui (vice-president) and I are working on a project with the Atikamekw First Nation: it’s a pedagogic and cultural project, that lead to the creation of a toolbox to replicate such projects in other First Nations communities. You’ll find more details here. We are hoping to present this project next spring during a United Nations event held on the topic of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in NY. I’ll be visiting in NY next week (Thursday October 26-29) to meet potential partners who could help us leverage influence for this event to happen. I contacted you because you are a board member of Wikimedia NY and interested in pedagogic/cultural projects. Let me know if you'd be available to meet for a coffee, or if you can recommend someone to contact within the board.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons. You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

At this event on Thursday evening and during the day Friday this week, anyone from the public is invited to LaGuardia to join students, professors, and CUNY faculty in translating Wikipedia articles among any languages which attendees understand. Themes for this event include public health and the history of New York City. New York City has a large immigrant population and great diversity of speakers of various languages. Among all schools in New York City, LaGuardia has the highest percentage of immigrant students, the highest percentage of students who speak a language other than English as their first language, and the greatest representation of language diversity. It is a strength of LaGuardia that it can present "Wikipedia translatathons", which are Wikipedia translation events.

Non-binary language Hi Mozucat, Thanks for liking my article on SisterSong. I'm slowly working my way through reproductive justice topics, and am working on doula which some of my edits have been to change the language to be gender non-binary since its the most appropriate when discussing the role of a doula. Some of these edits have already been changed back to gender binary language and an editor previously tried making similar edits in 2017 and was warned that they would be blocked for making these edits. You seem to be MUCH better versed in the inner workings of Wikipedia and was hoping you could point me in the right direction to keep the gender non-binary language on this article. I've already supported the previous editor's edits on the Talk page and referenced a more current (and better) source for gender neutral language. Are there other actions I could take? Thanks for any insight, 9H48F (talk) 15:29, 5 April 2019 (UTC) Thanks so much for your work! I would love to help out in whatever way I can.

Since there are only two topics covered on Wikipedia with this name, and one is primary, the page should not exist per WP:ONEOTHER. (I changed the hatnote on the missionary's article to point to the filmmaker.) While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons. You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Time has flown since we got going in September, and our six month campaign ends in just a month! We'd like to check in with you about work you have done, or any articles you'd like to write or edit to do before we wrap up. We published a mid-campaign report, highlighting strong work from several Wikipedia editors (both new wiki folks and veterans); contributions from Kristy Roschke's journalism course at Arizona State University; and strong engagement from groups like AfroCROWD and Wikimedians of the Caribbean. As we begin our final push, we would love to learn what you have been working on, or help you with any challenges. We're hosting several informal video conference sessions in the next week. (If that format is no good for you, just let us know.) We'd love to hear what newspapers have caught your interest, any articles you've already written, and also any kind of support you could use in writing up newspapers that lack Wikipedia entries. We'll focus especially on newspapers of the Caribbean in our final month, as we continue to work on Black-owned U.S. newspapers, and newspapers of Washington State. Please register for one of these Zoom meetings. If these times don't work for you, or if you hate Zoom, etc., just reply here (please include the text "[[User:Peteforsyth]] and [[User:Shanluan]]" so we get notifications), and we'll find another way to connect with you.

It occurred to me that, in the years since I left Facebook, the site I use most to communicate with people I like isn't actually a social media site at all. If you're receiving this, it's pretty likely I've talked with you more recently than I have my distant relatives and college friends on FB, at very least, and we may have even collaborated on something useful.
