 * Hi Gardneca--thanks for working on Sara Yorke Stevenson (in draft space). When you're ready to "update" the actual article, let an admin know (I can do it, or the kind User:Longhair), since we'll need to merge your draft into the article to preserve all the edits. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 18:48, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi and ! Thanks for the notes, I'm excited to be here. I'm a part of a WikiEd course right now so we will learn how to move our sandboxes to the actual article section-by-section, but I can let you know when I'm ready so that all of the changes can be preserved. Please let me know if there's anything else I should be doing! Gardneca (talk) 02:45, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Gardneca--yes, and there's the rub: you can't "move" them, they have to be merged. Only an administrator can do that. I see there's at least three of you ; can you please tell me who the instructor is? Because the other two work the same way you do, and it is better to prevent history problems before they happen than to clean them up afterwards (see Merging). Also pinging User:Helaine (Wiki Ed). Thanks, and enjoy, Drmies (talk) 20:32, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for helping out Gardneca with the history merge background. I am the instructor of this particular course and would be happy to answer any questions you may have. I am also working with, , and other course participants. will be doing the history merge once Gardneca is ready and will do the same for other users in this course. If I can answer any questions or direct you to our course Dashboard, feel free to let me know. Thanks again! Will (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:58, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Just one thing, Will (Wiki Ed)--can you ask the students to have a link of some sort to you, or to the course page, or something like that? Something that's more or less unifying? Usually we're really left in the dark if we can't see where someone is coming from. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 18:53, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Incomplete DYK nomination
Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/Agadzagadza at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; if you would like to continue, please link the nomination to the nominations page as described in step 3 of the nomination procedure. If you do not want to continue with the nomination, tag the nomination page with db-g7, or ask a DYK admin. Thank you. DYKHousekeepingBot (talk) 06:17, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Agadzagadza
Gardneca, are you still interested in pursuing this DYK nomination? If so, the four "citation needed" templates need to be addressed: inline source citations need to be made in those four places before the review can be wrapped up. This needs to be accomplished in the next seven days or so, given that it's been a month since the issue was raised, but if you ask for one we can certainly consider an extension. Please let us know. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:27, 15 August 2019 (UTC)


 * BlueMoonset sorry for the delay in response! I just fixed the citations, please let me know if any further changes are needed. Thank you! Gardneca (talk) 20:58, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

Your students' use of sources
Hi, I've encountered several of your students' edits and found that they're using sources that are not really improving the articles. I don't know whether they have access to an academic library, but the problems I've found are that they cite sources that are very (too) old, or from journalists and self-published content. I've also seen this book a lot: Mathisen, Ancient Roman civilization : history and sources, 753 BCE to 640; it can be cited for the general context, but I wouldn't base entire paragraphs on it as it lacks details (1300 years in 600 pages). Could you tell them to use JSTOR (and to use post-War articles), or more detailed textbooks like the Cambridge Ancient History? See what I've said to one of your students here. I can help for identifying reliable sources on the Roman Republic if needed. I'm telling you this because I think I should remove a lot of what I've seen. I understand they're learning though. Thanks for your work on this project! T8612 (talk) 19:37, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi T8612, I understand your concerns but we are at a Canadian university that only had 3 weeks left of the semester when we were shut down due to COVID-19. Students were required to return home on very short notice and leave campus/residence without many of the books/sources they had from the library. Yes, we have access to JSTOR, but many of the students struggle with reliable access to the internet at home and, given the stressful and unique situation, I allowed them to rely on their course textbook (Mathisen) more than I would normally allow. They're doing their best in the midst of a lot of uncertainty, and although some of their edits will definitely need to be further expanded in the future, all of them were working on neglected start- or stub-class articles that were in desperate need of attention - and it seems to be working, since regular users like you are now seeing these pages. The semester is now over, and all of their submissions have been recorded but I haven't finished grading them yet, and if I see any seriously problematic issues (like plagiarism), I will of course address those. Besides that, there's nothing much that can be done at this point, and if you feel it's absolutely necessary to remove their work, such is the nature of Wikipedia! Thanks for your message, and for your understanding. Gardneca (talk) 14:12, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Nisaea
The article Nisaea you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold. The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed.
