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.
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.
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:
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![edit]
Upcoming Saturday events - March 1: Harlem History Editathon and March 8: NYU Law Editathon[edit]
(You can unsubscribe from future notifications for NYC-area events by removing your name from this list.) Educational Game[edit]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[edit]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[edit]Hi Mozucat! Theredproject and Msmale asked us to let you know that we've posted a new Wikipedia article on Kathleen Fitzpatrick's book Planned Obsolescence: Planned Obsolescence: Publishing, Technology and the Future of the Academy. Thanks for all your guidance! Hamsindh (talk) 19:52, 2 April 2014 (UTC) Greg Kohs and WikiConference USA[edit]Dear Mozucat: Is this report accurate: WikiConference USA bans critic from open meeting? 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...[edit]

(You can subscribe/unsubscribe from future notifications for NYC-area events by adding or removing your name from this list.) Edu Banners[edit]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.

"Women are everywhere"
[edit]Hi Mozucat. I'm an editor (not very active till now) of the Italian Wikipedia, where the gender gap is a real issue. I'm trying to participate to an IEG with the project "Women are everywhere". You will find the draft at this link https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Women_are_everywhere It would be great if you could have a look at it. I need any kind of suggestion or advice to improve it. Support or endorsement would be fantastic. Many thanks, --Kenzia (talk) 18:43, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

New and experienced editors are welcome.

Wiki Loves Pride 2016
[edit]As a past contributor, you are invited to participate in the third annual Wiki Loves Pride campaign, which runs through the month of June. The purpose of the campaign is to create and improve content related to LGBT culture and history. How can you help?
- Create or improve LGBT-related Wikipedia pages and showcase the results of your work here
- Document local LGBT culture and history by taking pictures at pride events and uploading your images to Wikimedia Commons
- Contribute to an LGBT-related task force at another Wikimedia project (Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, Wikivoyage, etc.)
Looking for topics? The Tasks page, which you are welcome to update, offers some ideas and wanted articles.
This campaign is supported by the Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group, an officially recognized affiliate of the Wikimedia Foundation. The group's mission is to develop LGBT-related content across all Wikimedia projects, in all languages. Visit the affiliate's page at Meta-Wiki for more information, or follow Wikimedia LGBT+ on Facebook. Remember, Wiki Loves Pride is about creating and improving LGBT-related content at Wikimedia projects, and content should have a neutral point of view. One does not need to identify as LGBT or any other gender or sexual minority to participate. This campaign is about adding accurate, reliable information to Wikipedia, plain and simple, and all are welcome! If you have any questions, please leave a message on the campaign's talk page.
Thanks, and happy editing! ---Another Believer (Talk) 22:05, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
