Interview
Hi. Over on Wikinews they are conducting an interview about our project. Some of the questions are directed specifically at me, and some specifically at those who edited El Señor Presidente. But there are others for any student in the class. I thought you might want to participate.

You will have to set up a new account on Wikinews. Drop a line to Brianmc who can guide you through the technicalities.

It would be good to have an opportunity for you to have your say! --jbmurray (talk|contribs) 20:43, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Nom time?
I think this is as good a time as any to nominate. What do you think? (I can set it up for you, if you like, and you can sign the nom, and your colleagues can follow suit when they are around.) Be very afraid. (Only kidding.) qp10qp (talk) 22:44, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me. Ideally, I think, the honour should go to either Carlaty or Eeshiu or, better still, both.  Awadewit finessed this somehow, including with messages to SandyGeorgia, when she !nominated El Señor Presidente.  I'll send her a ping.  --jbmurray (talk|contribs) 22:56, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I would urge the student to nominate - it's not hard and others will fix any mistakes made. There is no time like the present to learn how to nominate an FAC! Seriously, it's a wiki - it is not a big deal to make a mistake! :) Awadewit (talk) 23:03, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree; the instructions at WP:FAC are supposed to be intelligible to anyone, and if they're not, I'd like to know :-) I'll watch over it and help them get it right (as I do all FAC noms), in case they need help.  Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 23:07, 13 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, they definitely nominate. But they might need nudging. By the way, the three editors don't all need to nom at once; one can do it, and the others can add their signatures/comments when available. qp10qp (talk) 23:10, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yep. But for Rick Block's script, they should indicate co-nom and all three names in the opening paragraph.  Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 23:12, 13 April 2008 (UTC)


 * That's true. qp10qp (talk) 23:20, 13 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry I missed the Nom...was at work. Thanks for all the hard work everyone!!! And I am very afraid, Qp10qp :). Carlaty (talk) 06:16, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Congrats!!
Yes, many congrats!! I'm so pleased. You really deserved this, and put a lot of work in. You can now put the following on your user page if you want:  --jbmurray (talk|contribs) 02:11, 20 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Ha! Like Eshiu, you're one step ahead of me!  :) --jbmurray (talk|contribs) 02:13, 20 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh Acer did it for me too! Carlaty (talk) 04:59, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. You and your friends made this a cert all along with all your meticulous sourcing. I love your attitude: your tutor promised everyone in the class that they'd get an A* if they achieved this and no way were you letting the opportunity go. That sort of determination puts you in a small group at the top of your class and I suspect it bodes well for your future success.

Your tutor is also remarkable. Much though I loved my tutors at university, I can't imagine any of them putting in this amount of time and work to help students along within the writing of an assignment. To be honest, I never really thought of my tutors as teachers, just as founts of knowledge who handed out booklists, graded essays, and left the rest to chance. This project is ahead of its time, and I expect it will prove seminal and semi-legendary (don't be surprised if in thirty years time, or whatever, you find yourself interviewed as one of the guinea pigs of this type of assignment). I have no doubt that education will become increasingly interactive, that sourcing skills will rise in importance, and that the barriers between free public information and privileged, expensive scholarly information will be drastically eroded.

I hope you will keep your eye on the article, because trivial deteriorations tend to creep in otherwise. Regard this as a baby that you now have to care for for life. qp10qp (talk) 13:25, 20 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh it definitely is like a baby. I will definitely be keeping an eye on it. Thank you!!! Carlaty (talk) 19:05, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations on the promotion and on sticking with it when you could have sat back after reaching GA. Yomangani talk 11:08, 21 April 2008 (UTC)


 * ...and from me too! You've done a fantastic job - I hope you're not being too modest about what you've achieved ;) EyeSerene talk 19:59, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
