Is that supposed to be subst'd? Otherwise, I don't it's ever been used, so maybe CSD it? / ƒETCH COMMS  /  00:59, 1 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I used it a while back to note on a talk page why I marked it for CSD. Pwn it if you want, or just move it to my userspace... I forgot it was in template spacek. XD  AndrewN  talk

Ready for mentees?
Hi Andrew, I am currently assigning mentees from the Indiana University class. Would you mind mentoring, , and ?

Both Ackmanistan and Contribute10 are currently semi-active although they had experimented in their sandboxes. They might be getting active over the next few weeks due to their assignment datelines.

Indigoandcerise has created an article which you might like to review and give feedback on.

If you are able to mentor them, can you please leave a mentorship-offer message on their talk pages? Please indicate in your message that you have been assigned to them.

Once you've done that, please update Online Ambassadors/Mentors with a list of your mentees.

If you are not able to mentor them or can only mentor a certain number, please let me know.

Thanks, Bejinhan   talks   13:53, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Planning for next term in the Wikipedia Ambassador Program
Hi AndrewN. We're trying to figure out how many students we can mentor next term and how many additional Online Ambassadors will be needed. Based on the revised plan for what participating courses will be like next term, I've sketched out what will be expected of mentors. Please look that over, and then go to the online ambassadors talk page to indicate much mentoring and other ambassador activities you'd like to do next term. (Based on our earlier conversations, I know you don't plan on doing any mentoring, but it'd be helpful if you could describe how else you plan to be involved... and of course, it's not too late to change your mind about mentoring.)

Mentor for team of students
Hi, my name is James Fullerton, and I'm a teacher at Southern Lehigh Middle School in PA. Recently I've created a project that involves Wikipedia (WP) and small groups of students making a contribution to a WP article of their choosing, as long as the topic is related to the content of the course - being American Government, Civics, and Economics. For the past 4 weeks, students have become involved in the culture of WP, with many already narrowing in on a topic for their contribution. Here is the supportive material on Wikispaces (https://wikiedit.wikispaces.com/). Your assistance would be greatly appreciated! Would you be available to act as a mentor to a small group of students as they begin to offer additional content to an article of their interest? The team sizes are numbered between 5-7 students each. I will notify you as to who is in the teams with their WP user names. Jmfullerton (talk) 17:35, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
