Hi, I'm Katelyn. I don't know what I'm doing on here... fhbsdivberveirubveiu

Sandbox or sandbox

I was playing around and added the WAP heading to my user page. So not knowing when to leave well enough alone I clicked "my sandbox page" and created a sandbox. So I went to the wiki assignment page thinking that red sand button would go blue. But that seems to try and take you to Jtsstl/sandbox. Oops. I'm not sure how that WAP page even included the info about where my sandbox is, but I now seem be of two minds (minimum) in the sandbox department. Can I/should I try to get on one track?

Yes the template is case-sensative. And of course {{WAP psych student}} and {{UserSand}} used different cases. I changed WAP psych student to match UserSand so now they'll be consistent. But if you already made a Sandbox, you'll want to turn it into a redirect to your sandbox. --MTHarden (talk) 04:48, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  3. Sandbox first --MTHarden (talk) 14:44, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Student ability

There is a wide range of student ability. I think the only way to move forward with this assignment is to buffer every contribution so that my students avoid angering the denizens of Wikipedia. Maybe all work can be done in sandbox until it has been peer-edited and proofed, and graded. --MTHarden (talk) 13:06, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

MEDRS

Hello, MTHarden; I'm noticing errors and issues being introduced into psych articles daily now on my watchlist, and some of them (not all) trace back to your (or other) classes of beginning students, who rarely respond on article or user talk, meaning they are typically costing other editors a lot of time for little benefit as they don't seem to engage to learn correct editing practices. It would be most helpful if you could review with them the importance of accurate sourcing in medical articles, and adding info to correct sections; these two items are covered at WP:MEDMOS and and WP:MEDRS-- specifically, it isn't helpful if they just plop in some text already covered in the article without adding it to the appropriate section, or if they plop in text related to other conditions better suited to another article, or if they add information sourced to very old or primary sources. The students seem to have no knowledge of how to locate reliable medical sources, how to add the content to the right article and in the right section, or how to rewrite text in their own words. Medical information should be sourced to recent, high quality, secondary reviews, as described here. Also, in addition to reviewing WP:CLOSEPARAPHRASE, you might find this information useful.

Is this over?

There are a number of article talkpages which contain the following tag:

If this course is now over, can the tags be removed. It appears there are students from other colleges using the same articles as part of their course, and that can create confusion. SilkTork ✔Tea time 14:04, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
