+accountcreator switched over to +eventcoordiator
Hi Mettysh, I've just swapped the +accountcreator user right which was granted to you by for the +eventcoordinator user right, which is more appropriate for users involved in outreach work. While I've got your attention, I'd just like to remind you that the requirements for use of both +accountcreator and +eventcoordinator require you to use the "Use a temporary random password and send it to the specified email address" checkbox, otherwise all the accounts you create will be considered "yours", and if the password is shared to anyone else those accounts run the risk of being labelled as compromised and blocked, so I'd strongly advise use of that checkbox. If you've got questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch; I'll do my best to answer as soon as I can, and thanks for the work you do in outreach! stwalkerster (talk) 21:39, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Moving drafts
I recognize that this is a wikied assignment but the standards for Wikipedia content remains the same regardless of whether you're a regular or student editor. Please do not move inappropriate articles to mainspace - there are no sources and it should be worked on in draftspace until such a time the content meets our inclusion criteria.

 * Let me second this message. Please don't move this work to mainspace prematurely. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:22, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Duplicate drafts
Hi, Mettysh! There are a couple of your students working on duplicate drafts for what appears to be the same dish but under different names at Draft:Sate noodles and Draft:Shacha noodle. I suspect this is a notable dish -- for one thing it's probably unlikely two students would independently decide to choose it if it weren't -- but the two drafts probably should be merged, which might also help with the sourcing issues. Pinging also @Helaine (Wiki Ed). —valereee (talk) 15:48, 4 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi @User:Valereee: Yes, looks like they are for the same dish that has different names. The students worked on the pages in different semesters, so I didn't catch the duplication. It would be a good idea to merge the drafts. Not sure how to do this. Would you or another editor be able to do this? If not, I can give it a shot. Thank you! Mettysh (talk) 16:06, 4 July 2021 (UTC)


 * It would be great if you'd give it a shot (but feel free to ping me with any questions at whichever one you decide to use as the main article), then ask for a merger of the histories at Requests for history merge. —valereee (talk) 16:25, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
 * letting you know about this as well. Helaine (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:56, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

You have a student who is very close to being reported for adding in unsourced information, external links in the body of an article, and overall vandalism. This student is not following BRD, the editor also appears to be name dropping to try and add un-famous people into the article, it also is written in a promotional tone. I would appreciate if this was handled by their educational institution. If this is not able to be resolved through the educational institution this individual is a part of I will be following Wikipedia guidelines for a dispute, vandalism, and promotion. -- VViking Talk Edits 18:03, 26 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi - Can you please give me more information. The user name of the student, for example, would be great, so that I can resolve it. Thanks. Mettysh (talk) 21:18, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
 * OK, sorry! I see the username. I will follow up! Mettysh (talk) 21:20, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

Rhetorical Practices from the Ancient World to Enlightenment
Hi! I just wanted to introduce myself; I'm Red-tailed hawk, an editor who originally joined Wikipedia after writing on Wikipedia in one of my courses. Thank you for incorporating Wikipedia into your courses; I hope your students enjoy it here and that they stick around to help make Wikipedia a better place even after the course has concluded.

I also created the Agriculture in Ireland article a while ago along with some colleagues. I noticed that one of your students is going to work on the article. The article's in need of work; we really need help filling out the section on medieval agriculture in Ireland and generally improving the remainder of the article, and I hope that is within the scope of the course. Please let me know if you or your student would like to request help with formatting, citations, general explanations of how Wikipedia works, or any other sort of thing that comes up. I'm excited to see what comes from this! — Red-tailed hawk  (nest) 17:27, 14 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi! Thanks so much for your message. I passed on the message to the student and requested that he work on the section you suggested. Thank you for reaching out! It is good to hear that you also started out as a student editor in one of your courses. Best wishes!  Mettysh (talk) 21:27, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
