Signing articles
You sign talk pages, but not articles. On talk pages, you sign to show where you have added your input, signing articles makes them impossible to read.

So please don't sign articles anymore.

Thanks,

Typography workbook
A tag has been placed on Typography workbook, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Typography workbook and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. For advice, please read our Business FAQ (which also applies to non-profit organisations) DGG (talk) 23:36, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

About Masters of Media
'Masters of Media is a collaborative blog of the M.A. New Media & Digital Culture students of the University of Amsterdam. The blog launched in September 2006, as part of the New Media Practises Course taught by Geert Lovink, the founder and coordinator of this project. Now in its third year about 50 young new media researchers, either nearing completion of their master’s degree or recently graduated, maintain this new media issues blog, recognized as among the leading academic blogs on the subject of digital culture. Books, articles as well as new media objects are critiqued and discussed.

M.A. New Media & Digital Culture
The international M.A. in New Media & Digital Culture is for students interested in contributing to timely discourse surrounding critical media theory. It builds upon the pioneering new media scene that Amsterdam is known for, with an emphasis on the study of Internet culture. Students gain an in-depth knowledge in new media theory, viewed from the perspectives of media archaeological, materialist and other critical traditions, and applied to such topics as blogging, locative media, networks and protocol. Additionally students may be trained in the areas of info-aesthetics and visualization, with its emphasis on how to read, understand and critique information graphics, interfaces as well as online interactivity. Among the expertise available to students is the emerging area of digital methods -- Internet research approaches and techniques that are specific to the new medium and the study of natively digital objects. Depending on interests and skills, students may participate in research projects that inform Amsterdam new media events, festivals, exhibitions and installations as well as international new media issues, such as Internet censorship. Next to maintaining the Masters of Media blog, opportunities also may be available for students to undertake a research internship. Depending on the seasonal programming students follow and participate in a lively new media culture, both at the university, where internationally renowned speakers present work, as well as outside of academia, where events are often organized, such as at de Waag Society for Old & New Media, de Balie Center for Culture and Politics, the Netherlands Media Art Institute/Montevideo, Mediamatic as well as the Institute of Network Cultures, organizer of such events as Decade of Web Design, Incommunicado, Urban Screens, MyCreativity and Video Vortex. Students also participate in PICNIC, the creative industries festival. To gain a sense of the New Media intellectual culture in Amsterdam, please visit the student blog, Masters of Media blog, http://mastersofmedia.hum.uva.nl/. For the Digital Methods Initiative, see http://dmi.mediastudies.nl/. The MA New Media is one of the Master’s programs of Media and Cultural Studies, which is part of the Faculty of Humanities. The various courses also attract new media-oriented students from the two-year Research Master’s in Media Studies programme.

New Media Practices
The course New Media Practices, taught by Geert Lovink, looks to develop an understanding of the ways media, particularly new media, address people, and articulate social and cultural practice through diverse forms of engagement. To achieve this, course participation is specifically linked to interaction with the objects of study. Combining this experience with theories of new media not only helps the students develop a broader understanding of advancements in technology, it also provides a basis for in-depth perspectives on shifts in our culture. In this course the new students get their first contact with the Masters of Media blog, but will maintain the blog even after completion of their M.A. thesis.

Speedy deletion nomination of Masters of Media


A tag has been placed on Masters of Media requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.  DGG ( talk ) 16:10, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
