Language Acquisition Page for Professor McKee's Class

Hey, we are working on our presentation for the Wikipedia article you have been helping my Linguistics 341 class with, and I was wondering if you wanted to help present in the beginning about what Wikipedia is and the five pillars and all of that. We thought that, as a Wikipedia Ambassador, you might be able to explain everything better. Let me know if you want to ASAP so that I can let everyone who is presenting know what is going on. Ependell (talk) 00:37, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Presentation

You are more than welcome to do whatever. We have a couple of basic PowerPoint slides made up about Wikipedia itself but you are more than welcome to add to them or change them if you want. Right now, for the slides just about Wikipedia, all we have is a slide for pictures that says "What is Wikipedia?" a slide that has just a list of the five pillars, a slide with a link to starting the Sandbox, and a slide with a link to article quality. I don't know if you have access to our D2L page for the class, but it is in there as well. If you do make/change any slides, let me know because I have one of the master presentations and then I can put them in. Thanks for helping! Ependell (talk) 14:57, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You shouldn't feel like it, you should love it! Contributing to the sum of all human knowledge is very fun and after a while, you would be addicted to doing so! Enjoy your stay in Wikipedia and contribute more!

Adoption

Hello,

I would be willing to "adopt" you if you are interested. I would do my best to be helpful. I invite you to visit my user page to learn more about me, and let me know what you think on my talk page. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 22:26, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Further discussion on my talk page. Where do we go from here? Cullen328 Let's discuss it 05:01, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Books by Lauren Willig

I think that articles about the books she has written would be a good idea, assuming that the books meet WP:NBOOKS, our notability guideline for books. I recommend starting with the book that has been most extensively reviewed. I suggest writing the article in a sandbox and move it to main space after it has three or four good solid sources. I will be happy to review your work as you go along. Which book do you recommend for someone new to her work? I will read it and we can discuss it. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 05:17, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Cullen328! Thanks for sending me the books guidelines. I'm a little concerned that none of the books in her series have actually received any outside coverage, at least in notable sources. I think I'll hold off on doing these for awhile. Semccraw (talk) 20:54, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have some special techniques I use to search for book reviews in reliable sources. I will try in the next day or two. Author and publisher websites often link to or quote from reviews. Have you checked those sources? Don't give up! Cullen328 Let's discuss it 04:00, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, there is a big difference between a "notable" source and a "reliable" source. As an example, Der Sturmer and Weekly World News are notable, but are most certainly not reliable. A journal of a well-established local historical society may be reliable, but not notable. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 04:07, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

articles about libraries

I saw your question to Cullen,

Most special collection libraries are parts of larger libraries. In general I would proceed by first making a building up a section on them in the article on the main library, and then seeing if there was sufficient to split. My own view, is that for only a very few of the most famous would it be suitable. When the collection is not part of a general library, but closely connected with the primary activity of an institution of which it is a part, I'd give similar advice. But of course when it's an independent library or archive., or the institution exists mainly to sponsor the library, then the article should be about the specific library. Not just libraries; I'd give similar advice about almost all topics where the article is about part of a larger organization. You can then make a cross reference redirect from the specific name. (and also a link from the article about whomever the unit is named after).

Remember that a stand-alone article needs references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. It's good to make certain you have the sources before writing the article. An article in the institution;'s own publication about its history is a good source for uncontroversial content, but isn't considered here as enough to prove notability for a separate article. The idea is to get something written and referenced, without having to worry about possible objections to notability. If you'll tell me what library or libraries you have in mind, I could give more specific advice--just ask on my talk p. or by email, not here, to make certain I see it.

But I gather from your user page, that it may be University of Arizona special collections. My advice above is what I would say in this specific case: The fist step would be to expand the existing section in the university article, [1] into a separate article on University of Arizona Libraries. I have a feeling the existing prose in the main article is copied from a university or library handbook of some sort. If so, it needs to be rewritten--and rewritten from scratch, avoiding WP:Close paraphrase. Such an article is a good opportunity for photographs: the easiest way to deal with copyright is to take them yourselves, and say so, not use any already published. DGG ( talk ) 01:30, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It would be wonderful if you could expand coverage of this archive on your campus. I am an Ansel Adams fan, and CCP is closely associated with Adams. I wrote biographies of his close associates Cedric Wright and Fred R. Archer. Are you familiar with the so-called "lost negatives" controversy that CCP got tangled up with? Cullen328 Let's discuss it 06:20, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds like a great idea! I have been there multiple times and really like the CCP. I hadn't heard of the "lost negatives" but that sounds really interesting. I'll start researching it. Thanks! Semccraw (talk) 15:52, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
This controversy has been covered in many major newspapers, but perhaps in greatest depth in a blog by well-known photography critic A. D. Coleman, which is called Photocritic International, and it has to do with the disputed provenance of some photographic negatives that were attributed (falsely in my opinion) to Ansel Adams in 2010. It is a very interesting though somewhat complicated story, and parts of that story involve the CCP on your campus. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 06:36, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My welcome message

Hello Stacey,

Although we've already talked, I wanted to leave you a copy of the message I left for the students and the other Campus Ambassadors:

Home Sweet Home : Click on the image for more information about it

Welcome to Wikipedia My name is Jim, and I edit here with the username of "Cullen328". I've been contributing to Wikipedia for 2-1/2 years now. I am an Online Ambassador, and I have offered to help students in the class you are a Campus Ambassador for, Language Development. Please feel free to ask me any questions at all about editing Wikipedia.

There are many helpful resources available for new Wikipedia editors. One that I like is WP:PRIMER, which is a one-stop introduction intended to help newcomers to better understand the basics of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. The best advice that I can give you to learn how to be a good Wikipedia editor is to actually edit articles, edit talk pages and edit your own user page. Add high quality references to articles, improve the accuracy and improve the prose, and everyone here will sing your praises. Feel free to visit my user page and my talk page, and feel free to ask any question at any time. Thank you.

Cullen328 Let's discuss it 06:00, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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:

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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!
