 * Please do not reinsert unsourced material without properly adding inline references to support it (WP:BURDEN & WP:RS) Please also do not revert a second time without discussing on the articles talk page (WP:BRD). Please read the links above to learn how to edit most constructively. I am going to revert you unredirects. If you rerevert without adding sources to establish notability, I will nominate the articles for deletion. Thank you. Novaseminary (talk) 14:38, 5 December 2010 (UTC)


 * If you are also editing under the user name RosellaJam, please stop (WP:SOCK). Editing the same articles with different user names over teh same period of time is a major violation of WP rules. If not, please disregard. Thank you. Novaseminary (talk) 14:42, 5 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Please do not edit war as you are or are periously close to doing at Technological literacy‎, Technacy, and Technological Genre‎. If you persist, you may be blocked (WP:WAR). Novaseminary (talk) 14:49, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

Lets ensure articles remain factual
Dear Novaseminary,

It is reassuring to see the technacy article will now remain stable and not subject to redirects: please contact me as one of the authorised quality controller participants to this article should that be useful. The article on Technological Genre should remain also unique: though it should strictly speaking, now be changed to "Technology Type" theory as the language has moved away from genre in educational fields. These two areas of knowledge ("Technacy Theory" and "Technology Type Theory" ) were both deeply based areas of Australian government, cross-cultural technology transfer, Phds (current and past), and educational research endeavours used across diverse programs. We were first alerted to the wiki sites strangely being redirected by the growing network of academics and teachers across Australia, and undergraduate students who use those two sites in their studies and school programs. We genuinely believed "Novaseminary" was a mischievous hacker!

Technacy meaning has evolved since the late 1980s (initially a broad science, communication, and context driven form of knowledge view of it) into the 1990s and to the present day ( a structured theory basis to it that has long settled to mean holism in technological knowledge and practice). Thus, holism in technology has become the strongest continuous theme across these periods of time.

Now that you are aware these two areas are serious endeavours, I invite you to assist in building the articles' quality in presentation. The Aboriginal origin also makes removing, vandalising or redirecting the wiki on genre and technacy, a concern of respect if that was done again.

I do not know who "Rosellajam" is. I did forget my old Nintizeus account even existed, and when I recently looked down the list trying to find if "Novaseminary" was a vandal hacker, (apology we now know better), I tried to see if nintizeus was indeed an old account and if it was still live. It was, but I do not require it now, as I only use nintiblue.

The external links to research and Government reports must remain. They offer validation for readers.

The link to the school's project site (www.technacy.com) initially Federally funded, should, we request, also remain. The www.technacy.com is a live work in progress indefinitely that many teachers are depending on and helping to slowly build teaching resources for upload (free, no commercial gain). Keeping the wiki link to this site generates NO commercial gain, but does significantly help reduce the burden on the wiki site for complex information some people may wish to drill down to if they choose. There are associations and schools in one of Australia's States that have developed a creative technacy based program into the next few years and rely on the www.technacy.com site to: help update, communicate to peers and community families ideas, and upgrade it as a resource. Keeping this site linked to the wiki entry will be very useful for all teachers across Australia and world wide.

Thank you for helping to build these two very creative and important wiki articles up here after!

Nintiblue.


 * Please read the policies I have cited on this and the other account's talk pages. The Technacy article is in terrible shape. Unless inline citations are inserted to support the text and establish its notability, I will probably nominate it for deletion. Novaseminary (talk) 03:46, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Please also read WP:OWN and WP:3RR. Your message and edits indicate you may feel a sense of ownership over the article. Also, your use of multiple accounts does not exempt you from 3RR, on the contrary. And if multiple people are using this account (you noted "we" above), that too violates WP policy (Role accounts).

Citing sources
Please read WP:INCITE to learn how to properly add sources at WP. Please also do not remove tags from articles until you understand what they mean and how they are satisfied. Rather than bother replacing all of them, I will nominate the Technacy article for deletion at some point since you have not addressed the concerns and in my looking, I have not found the types of sources that would do so. In addition, if you are one of the authors to which you have cited, please read COI. If not, please disregard this last bit. Thank you. Novaseminary (talk) 02:21, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
