Does anyone know who inserted the link http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anything_is_possible_when_it_means_everything&action=edit&redlink=1 at the bottom of the See Also section of the page for Hope, since there was no page for that subject (Anything is possible when it means everything)? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hope ----

No, sorry, I don't know who inserted that. None of my students ended up working on the Hope page. ScottPKingPhD (talk) 10:52, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank You. Do you know if there is any way to find out? It's not in the edit notes for the page, and the page does not exist as a topic, so there doesn't seem to be any point to putting it there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Metapunk (talk • contribs) 21:44, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

You should be able to narrow it down with the "View history" button. It might take a bit of clicking, but you'd be able to at least see when exactly the change was made, and maybe the User who did it (but if they're anonymous, you'll just see an IP address).ScottPKingPhD (talk) 00:28, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Edits by your students

There's a discussion afoot at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Medicine#Value of student edits concerning an instruction you gave your class to use primary sources. Please drop by and join in. LeadSongDog come howl! 17:00, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Just to tell you that I have removed User:Wmiguel08's primary source. Please, tell you students to use secondary sources! It can be so discouraging for them to see their good work removed. Lova Falk talk 07:50, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

I have to admit I have not stressed the secondary source idea because in every class I teach, I emphasize the importance of finding primary sources when students write papers. I will help them adjust their literature searches. ScottPKingPhD (talk) 13:41, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Thank you! Writing in Wikipedia is quite different to writing papers... Lova Falk talk 15:04, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi! I replied on my talk page.--Sage Ross (WMF) (talk) 19:40, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

I moved your course description into the "Course description" subpage; if you'd rather have it the way it was before (with the description appearing above the bar of links), let me know and I'll switch it back to how it was.--Sage Ross (WMF) (talk) 19:46, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
