How are you today? -dean (talk) 18:11, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Advice on our page
Hi Dean! We posted the link in our sandbox. I hope you can find it and it's in the right place. Also we are going to add sources to our section on Organizational Culture page. Is there anything else that stands out that you think we should do? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MMWJMU (talk • contribs) 19:07, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Help on my user page?
Dean, I made a few updates on the class schedule to indicate that we would be taking content live earlier. Having a bit of trouble setting up my own user page - I also think I have several nicknames happening and want to clarify which name shows up where. Any change you are around today at all?

help for editing workshop today
Dean, tried to find articles that require minor edits that will help students gain comfort with the process but I am getting overwhelmed with the portal page. I could use some help! Dr LLB

Wednesday help
Dean, I have the group coming in tomorrow that is behind on this project because of their service-learning project. I am going to re-do the editing workshop with them we did in the library and help them with their page on Workplace romantic relationships. If you are around and want to pop in, we will be in the classroom at normal time, but I could also handle it on my own. Also reviewing all pages tonight and sending comments and suggestions.

Moving live
I thought I moved my page live the way you all showed us, but apparently I did not. Now it is in my sandbox but with a title. Do you possibly know what I did wrong? Thanks!! Rosenbca (talk) 14:19, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Not Fixed
Thanks for your help, but now it says that there is an error in the citation and I can't figure out what's going on. Sorry to bother you so much I'm just confused haha. Rosenbca (talk) 17:10, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

I'm in Lori Britt's SCOM 425 class and I am having trouble figuring out how to add a reference to a wikipedia page...I can get a reference to a appear in the reference section but not in the same format that all the other references are in with the ^link etc... Goldmala (talk)

Meet on Friday?

I will email what I sent the class after Monday's class and you will be getting some emails I am sure from students.

Help on references
I am having problems making my reference section work. I know one of my teammates needs to fix her references, but I am not sure why the others are not showing up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Rosenbca (talk) 21:27, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

Help with page going live
Dean one of the groups did a page of Authoritarian Leadership Style. They were originally going to add it as a section to the "Authoritarianism" page and were told when they began making edits that it did not belong there. We agreed as it was more of a political explanation. It did not fit with Authoritarian Personality style well either so they decided to make it a stand alone page linked to the main ledaership page. When trying to take it live, someone immediately took it down, I think the message said, possible spam, or no page needed. Can you help with this. They did a good job and I want it to be live, regardless of whether it is stand alone or we add it somewhere else. The flow that I would like to see is: Leadership page (mentiones styles and a group that expanded this section added a link to a page just on Leadership styles) Leadership Styles (I would like to see the more in depth Authoritarian Leadership style link from this page and be a stand alone if possible.)

You can find their completed work in the sandbox link listedon our course page. In my office until at least 1:30. Left my cell at home so email or call my office line - 568-8111

Thanks! Dr LLB 13:09, 30 March 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Llbritt (talk • contribs)

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 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.
 * Please do these steps as soon 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:
 * Special:CampusAmbassadorProfile
 * Special:OnlineAmbassadorProfile

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 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:
 * Communication and keeping up to date
 * 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  IRC channel is the place to find me and fellow Ambassadors.

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.)
 * Ambassador training and resources

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!
