 * Which class were you in?

... Formatting
 * What did you have the most trouble with?

... I took a seminar with the Ambassador at Illinois State University
 * Did you take the "Training for Students" before you started your assignment? If so, how well did it prepare you for editing?

... How easy it was. The seminar was rather difficult. It was easier for me to just look at other individuals edits, and copy their format. (In regards to, HTML)
 * Is there anything you really wish you'd been told right when you were starting?

... Yes, it was part of a course project. We had to present our contributions.
 * What kind of feedback did you get from classmates and other Wikipedia editors? Did you review the work of other students?

... Yes, you had to make sure you cited your sources. Wiki's policy is rather strict, but the ease of formating has made it easy to accommodate their policy.
 * Did you get specific instructions about copyright and plagiarism before beginning your assignment? How does Wikipedia's treatment of copyright and plagiarism issues match up with what you expected?

... Yes and no. I think i will continue to use Wiki, while logged in, so i think i will check on it eery now and then, but I am not going to go out of my way.
 * Did you follow what happened to your article and its talk page after you made your edits? Do you plan to keep an eye on how it evolves after your course ends?

... Yes and no, I think it was beneficial to some, but its not like i created a whole page.
 * Did you feel that your work on Wikipedia mattered? Did it matter more or less than a regular term paper or essay?

... Not really, I am a very busy person, and i just do not think i will have the time.
 * Do you plan to keep editing Wikipedia on your own? If so, what will you work on? (If you'd be interested in training to become a Wikipedia Ambassador to help other students get started on Wikipedia, say so here and we'll follow up with you.)

...Finding things to edit
 * What did you have the most trouble with?

...Yes, I feel that it prepared me pretty well.
 * Did you take the "Training for Students" before you started your assignment? If so, how well did it prepare you for editing?

...I wish I was told more about the talk page and how it worked.
 * Is there anything you really wish you'd been told right when you were starting?

...I posted once about being unsure about making a change on a page, and another editor agreed with my change, so they fixed it for me.
 * What kind of feedback did you get from classmates and other Wikipedia editors? Did you review the work of other students?

...Kind of, We were told to always cite or give a source for whatever we added.

...I followed an article for a bit, because it was fairly new so it was undergoing lots of changes.
 * Did you follow what happened to your article and its talk page after you made your edits? Do you plan to keep an eye on how it evolves after your course ends?

...I think it mattered because I caught some grammer/ punctuation mistakes that could make a difference to how the sentences are interpreted.

...Right now, I feel that I don't have a lot of time to keep editing wikipedia, that may change later on in the summer when i have more time though.

... I was in SWGS 322 at Rice University.
 * Which class were you in?

... I had the most trouble transitioning from an essay-like tone (in which you argue a point) to a neutral, encyclopedic one.
 * What did you have the most trouble with?

... Yes.
 * Did you take the "Training for Students" before you started your assignment? If so, how well did it prepare you for editing?

... No.
 * Is there anything you really wish you'd been told right when you were starting?

... I find that classmates are always more patient and friendly in their comments than Wikipedia editors that aren't in a class, but other editors can provide more experienced perspectives, so it's a trade off. I reviewed the projects of two of my peers in class and two more online, using their talk pages.
 * What kind of feedback did you get from classmates and other Wikipedia editors? Did you review the work of other students?

... No, but at my university we have a very strict plagiarism policy and I had worked with Creative Commons licenses before, so I was pretty familiar with what was and wasn't okay, although the Wikimedia photo policy was a little more strict than I expected.
 * Did you get specific instructions about copyright and plagiarism before beginning your assignment? How does Wikipedia's treatment of copyright and plagiarism issues match up with what you expected?

... Yes I have worked on two other articles for two previous courses and I keep up with both of them. I want to keep up with this one too, especially since it's a brand new article I created.
 * Did you follow what happened to your article and its talk page after you made your edits? Do you plan to keep an eye on how it evolves after your course ends?

... Yes. It certainly feels like it matters in a different way from an essay because other people have access to it. I wouldn't say essays are less important or educational than Wikipedia articles, but for the class we are in, being able to have an impact on others is important and Wikipedia gives you that.
 * Did you feel that your work on Wikipedia mattered? Did it matter more or less than a regular term paper or essay?

... Yes I hope so. I will probably work less on articles that meet certain course requirements and more on things that interest me/that I have prior knowledge about, but I would like to continue writing. I am open to helping others get started too.
 * Do you plan to keep editing Wikipedia on your own? If so, what will you work on? (If you'd be interested in training to become a Wikipedia Ambassador to help other students get started on Wikipedia, say so here and we'll follow up with you.)

... Interaction Experience and Engagement in the University of Hull Scarborough Campus
 * Which class were you in?

... N/A
 * What did you have the most trouble with?

... Yes. It helped me to learn and understand the basics of Wikipedia which helped with future contributions on my assignment.
 * Did you take the "Training for Students" before you started your assignment? If so, how well did it prepare you for editing?

... Not really. If I needed to find something out I could find an answer through either a search engine, Wikipedia page or a Wikipedia user.
 * Is there anything you really wish you'd been told right when you were starting?

... My group asked for feedback continuously, as a result we received much feedback from Wikipedia editors and users. This arguably proved the most useful resource to our group when it came to both creating our article, adding content and ultimately getting it published.
 * What kind of feedback did you get from classmates and other Wikipedia editors? Did you review the work of other students?

... We were briefed by university lecturers, however despite the Wikipedia help pages available I feel this was something I learnt about as a result of trial and error (feedback especially).
 * Did you get specific instructions about copyright and plagiarism before beginning your assignment? How does Wikipedia's treatment of copyright and plagiarism issues match up with what you expected?

... Yes. The article is still being watched and if I have time will continue to monitor progress.
 * Did you follow what happened to your article and its talk page after you made your edits? Do you plan to keep an eye on how it evolves after your course ends?

... I hope so. It resulted in the publication of an article and allowed to me appreciate what contributing, as apposed to simply reading, was all about.
 * Did you feel that your work on Wikipedia mattered? Did it matter more or less than a regular term paper or essay?

... Yes.

...Johns Hopkins University/Molecular Biology Section 81 (2013 Q1)
 * Which class were you in?

...The main issue I had was finding images on Immunolabeling that were free of copyrights.
 * What did you have the most trouble with?

...Yes, I did. The videos helped immensely since I tend to be more of a visual learner.
 * Did you take the "Training for Students" before you started your assignment? If so, how well did it prepare you for editing?

...No, not particularly.
 * Is there anything you really wish you'd been told right when you were starting?

...I mainly got feedback from classmates during the editing process. Yes, we were required to review 2 articles. Currently, I have peer-reviewed one article for two of my classmates; however, the other article will be edited later on this semester.
 * What kind of feedback did you get from classmates and other Wikipedia editors? Did you review the work of other students?

...Yes, copyright and plagiarism were listed explicitly in training videos and handouts. I expected Wikipedia to enforce those policies.
 * Did you get specific instructions about copyright and plagiarism before beginning your assignment? How does Wikipedia's treatment of copyright and plagiarism issues match up with what you expected?

...Yes, I plan to follow my article and its talk page in order to make the proper edits. I think it would be beneficial to look after my article since it will be fascinating to see others' input.
 * Did you follow what happened to your article and its talk page after you made your edits? Do you plan to keep an eye on how it evolves after your course ends?

...Yes, this project definitely mattered. At the end of the day, I was able to contribute to a topic within molecular biology to possibly help others interested in the article.
 * Did you feel that your work on Wikipedia mattered? Did it matter more or less than a regular term paper or essay?

...I may continue to work on my article and may edit others after the course is over. No, I would not like to be a Wikipedia Ambassador. Thank you, though.
 * Do you plan to keep editing Wikipedia on your own? If so, what will you work on? (If you'd be interested in training to become a Wikipedia Ambassador to help other students get started on Wikipedia, say so here and we'll follow up with you.)

...I am grateful to my classmates that were selected to edit our article, our Ambassadors, and our professor, Dr. Ogg, for the guidance throughout this project. I greatly appreciated the helpful advice!
 * Are there any editors you'd like to thank for their help?

...This truly was a wonderful learning experience, even though it was time-consuming at times. I suppose the more time invested into this project, the more one gets out of it. Although I was a little hesitate at the beginning of the semester due to the Wikipedia "language", but it continually got easier as the project went on. It was an excellent method for learning Molecular Biology in a different way.

 * Which class were you in?

... getting the resources to link properly - sometimes there was an issue for those sites using portals
 * What did you have the most trouble with?

... I completed the training and found it very useful. I also referred to certain parts frequently during my editing.
 * Did you take the "Training for Students" before you started your assignment? If so, how well did it prepare you for editing?

... No, the instructors were very upfront regarding the complexities of the coding and were most helpful along the way.
 * Is there anything you really wish you'd been told right when you were starting?

... At this point, I have not received any feedback - but it is always welcomed. I have not visited any of the other classmate sites as not all have been made live.
 * What kind of feedback did you get from classmates and other Wikipedia editors? Did you review the work of other students?

... Yes, my instructor was very forth coming regarding plagiarism and issues surrounding the use of others' materials. The expectation was met.
 * Did you get specific instructions about copyright and plagiarism before beginning your assignment? How does Wikipedia's treatment of copyright and plagiarism issues match up with what you expected?

... I haven't made my edits live, yet; however, I do plan on following the page and reviewing other pages as I did learn a great deal with this assignment.
 * Did you follow what happened to your article and its talk page after you made your edits? Do you plan to keep an eye on how it evolves after your course ends?

... I do feel like this work mattered and was fairly proud of the work I did to expand the topic page. I think it mattered because it was a topic I chose, that I was interested in researching and gained knowledge regarding coding and formatting that can be helpful in the future, if I choose to edit other pages or post new pages.
 * Did you feel that your work on Wikipedia mattered? Did it matter more or less than a regular term paper or essay?

... At this point, there are no particular items that I am certain I would work on, but I cannot rule out doing so in the future. I actually enjoyed this project.

... Since no one has reviewed my information aside from my instructor, I can't thank specific individuals, but do appreciate my instructor and the Wikipedia Ambassador Kasey.

Global Youth Studies - Sociology Class at Drake University ...
 * Which class were you in?

Putting sources in - can be very confusing. Also still confused about the Sandbox and its function. Am afraid that I will end up deleting all my work, but I don't want to post the changes to the page yet. ...
 * What did you have the most trouble with?

I took it. The problem was that all of it seemed really self-explanatory when it was explained, but then when I got into the editing stage, I couldn't remember. It might be helpful to clip the videos into smaller sections, so I can find exactly what I am looking for (i.e. putting in sources, etc.) Could also just put time stamps beside it to let me know what time to go to when I want to find certain information. ...
 * Did you take the "Training for Students" before you started your assignment? If so, how well did it prepare you for editing?

No the video was really helpful as an orientation. ...
 * Is there anything you really wish you'd been told right when you were starting?

Got lots of feedback from other users. Most of the feedback from other users was just repeating Wikipedia norms (no original research, be neutral, etc.). I haven't had a chance to review all other students work yet. ...
 * What kind of feedback did you get from classmates and other Wikipedia editors? Did you review the work of other students?

Being in a college environment means that we are always talking about plagiarism. I think Wikipedia was pretty explicit in its explanation and warnings against plagiarism and copyright. It matched up with what I expected. ...
 * Did you get specific instructions about copyright and plagiarism before beginning your assignment? How does Wikipedia's treatment of copyright and plagiarism issues match up with what you expected?

Haven't made my edits yet, but I will probably follow up. It's really cool to see stuff you have written be on the internet for everyone to see! I plan to follow up. ...
 * Did you follow what happened to your article and its talk page after you made your edits? Do you plan to keep an eye on how it evolves after your course ends?

I felt that it mattered because we are allowing others to become more educated about topics that matter to us. But on the whole, I personally like essays and terms papers better because they allow me to think critically about information rather than just listing facts. Obviously, they are two very different mediums, so there are pros and cons for both. ...
 * Did you feel that your work on Wikipedia mattered? Did it matter more or less than a regular term paper or essay?

Probably not at this point. If I did decide to continue, I would probably focus my attention on social issues, and non-profits, as I am not sure how much is on Wikipedia about those things. ...

 * Which class were you in?

... Figuring out how to use Wikipedia.
 * What did you have the most trouble with?

... I did. It gave me somewhat of an idea of how Wikipedia would work but when I actually started editing it felt like I was learning a new language.

... I have not received any feedback, but the section I added to a Wiki page was completely omitted due to sourcing issues.

... I did. It is pretty clear and concise.

... I believe it mattered so I was aggravated that it was deleted instead of someone making a note that sources needed to be fixed. I wouldn't say it mattered more or less because this assignment was completely different from a paper.

 * Which class were you in?

Uploading pictures to Wikimedia Commons (without having them taken down)
 * What did you have the most trouble with?

No, but I did attend training sessions. They were fun, but I was already familiar with the basics of Wikipedia editing and its format, having been an anonymous contributor since I was a child.
 * Did you take the "Training for Students" before you started your assignment? If so, how well did it prepare you for editing?

How to upload licenses to a picture on Wikimedia Commons.
 * Is there anything you really wish you'd been told right when you were starting?

I did not get feedback, although I did help some students out with formatting.
 * What kind of feedback did you get from classmates and other Wikipedia editors? Did you review the work of other students?

I did not, but the treatment seemed fair. The guidelines for non-free content, however, were lackluster and not easy to apply, even though my content clearly fit the bounds.
 * Did you get specific instructions about copyright and plagiarism before beginning your assignment? How does Wikipedia's treatment of copyright and plagiarism issues match up with what you expected?

Yes, I kept an eye on it, and plan to keep doing so.
 * Did you follow what happened to your article and its talk page after you made your edits? Do you plan to keep an eye on how it evolves after your course ends?

Yes, my work mattered more than a regular paper because I could see the use of my contributions.
 * Did you feel that your work on Wikipedia mattered? Did it matter more or less than a regular term paper or essay?

I will edit Wikipedia as I have been doing. I always fix style errors, help create templates for musicians.

 * Which class were you in?

Theatre History 1642-present


 * What did you have the most trouble with?

From a research perspective, avoiding an impulse to draw conclusions or do "original research." Technically, the hardest parts were figuring out the best way to do citations and uploading proper public domain imagery.


 * Did you take the "Training for Students" before you started your assignment? If so, how well did it prepare you for editing?

I did take it. It provided the basics but I had to do a lot of learning on the go. The help link on the left was invaluable.


 * Is there anything you really wish you'd been told right when you were starting?

The only thing I learned after the fact that I didn't know about was at the end, it's great to make sure your page isn't an orphan (by creating links to it on other relevant pages) and adding categories.


 * What kind of feedback did you get from classmates and other Wikipedia editors? Did you review the work of other students?

That's still in process.


 * Did you get specific instructions about copyright and plagiarism before beginning your assignment? How does Wikipedia's treatment of copyright and plagiarism issues match up with what you expected?

I don't remember the specific instructions. It is pretty much inline with what I would expect, but the scrutiny on copyright of images is pretty intense.


 * Did you follow what happened to your article and its talk page after you made your edits? Do you plan to keep an eye on how it evolves after your course ends?

I check it often. Although I "completed" the assignment I have a lot more research I want to still add!


 * Did you feel that your work on Wikipedia mattered? Did it matter more or less than a regular term paper or essay?

Yes! I love that it adds to public knowledge! It's the first thing that comes up when you google my subject!


 * Do you plan to keep editing Wikipedia on your own? If so, what will you work on? (If you'd be interested in training to become a Wikipedia Ambassador to help other students get started on Wikipedia, say so here and we'll follow up with you.)

Yeah, now that I get the hang of it I probably will. Not to the same extent but I would be happy to help others.

 * Did you take the "Training for Students" before you started your assignment? If so, how well did it prepare you for editing?

No, it was a pretty smooth process.
 * Is there anything you really wish you'd been told right when you were starting?

No I did not review other students' edits and I got no feedback from others. I didn't think it was part of the assignment and it really never crossed my mind.
 * What kind of feedback did you get from classmates and other Wikipedia editors? Did you review the work of other students?

Yes. Wikipedia's treatment seems pretty standard.
 * Did you get specific instructions about copyright and plagiarism before beginning your assignment? How does Wikipedia's treatment of copyright and plagiarism issues match up with what you expected?

I checked back a few times the next couple weeks, but none of my edits were reversed or revised. So I don't think I'll keep an eye on it.
 * Did you follow what happened to your article and its talk page after you made your edits? Do you plan to keep an eye on how it evolves after your course ends?

Not as much as papers in some classes, where much more research and individual synthesis is required, but I felt it mattered as much as any assignment in this class besides the three big "track" assignments.
 * Did you feel that your work on Wikipedia mattered? Did it matter more or less than a regular term paper or essay?

I probably won't unless I see some glaring spelling or grammatical errors. I'm not a huge fan of any writing where I'm explicitly forbidden from creating any new information.

I feel that this contribution was important because the stub article had been listed under high priority. I felt that I was benefiting the world even though I feel that what information we added was not that substantial in and of itself. Just by adding to the article it got the article live and out there for public viewing. I feel that I get more out of writing a paper but this was more substantial because other people will actually see it. ... I will probably not. It seems that the topics that are still in stub form are very narrow topics that would be difficult to find sources. Being a horrible researcher I doubt I would be of any help even if I tried. ...

... The formatting and guidelines specific to Wikipedia was the most challenging. You are used to writing a very specific type of paper for class, usually argumentative, but that style is very different on Wikipedia and takes some getting used to. Additionally, sourcing, citations, etc, is very different. The trouble most relates to getting used to the new format, as opposed to actual difficulties and struggles.

...Not that I can think of. It would have been nice to know that other Wiki editors are so competent and helpful and really want to work to make the best page possible, but it was a pleasant surprise!
 * Is there anything you really wish you'd been told right when you were starting?

... Two of my classmates reviewed my page and gave some great feedback in the talk page. I also reviewed two of my peers for their work on [domestic violence in India] and [emotional labor].
 * What kind of feedback did you get from classmates and other Wikipedia editors? Did you review the work of other students?

... We got a few directions and were directed to pages to read more. Wikipedia is much more strict with citations that I had thought, given its reputation. I'm still not sure I have a complete grasp on the exact way that Wikipedia wants things cited, but I did my best, and Wiki editors helped me out a bit.
 * Did you get specific instructions about copyright and plagiarism before beginning your assignment? How does Wikipedia's treatment of copyright and plagiarism issues match up with what you expected?

... It has not been long on this particular page, but last semester I wrote the [human trafficking in Greece] page and I love checking back on it. Some Wiki editors from all over have commented and given me feedback, and I'm always checking the history to see if anyone is adding.
 * Did you follow what happened to your article and its talk page after you made your edits? Do you plan to keep an eye on how it evolves after your course ends?

... I feel like it was more difficult than a normal paper, but it definitely matters more and I am much more proud of what I did. I had my family look at the page right before I updated it and then again after I made the change, and they were astounded! It's great to be able to share what I've been working on, and it feels great to know that I've added valuable, relevant knowledge on a subject matter that's really important. People around the world can learn more about the immigration situation in Greece, which is a huge part of the political and cultural dialogue over there, and they never would have been able to without my work. It's really affirming.
 * Did you feel that your work on Wikipedia mattered? Did it matter more or less than a regular term paper or essay?

... I would like to this summer, at least to get my two pages to GA status. I'm not sure if I would really have time to do this outside of a class setting, but maybe if there was a paper I had to write for class that I could turn into a Wiki article or at least add to an existing one, that might be doable.
 * Do you plan to keep editing Wikipedia on your own? If so, what will you work on? (If you'd be interested in training to become a Wikipedia Ambassador to help other students get started on Wikipedia, say so here and we'll follow up with you.)

... [Khazar2] helped a lot on my first human trafficking in Greece page, and provided a lot of feedback that really made me feel confident and good about what I was doing. Thank you!

I did the project in my computer Science Class called "Contributing to the World's Knowledge, 11th Grade Computer Science."
 * Which class were you in?

I found finding source for the article difficult.
 * What did you have the most trouble with?

Yes, I took the training, and it prepared me very well for the assignment.
 * Did you take the "Training for Students" before you started your assignment? If so, how well did it prepare you for editing?

I wish if I knew that finding articles that I am interested in and needed to be edited are hard to find.
 * Is there anything you really wish you'd been told right when you were starting?

They told me that I needed to be more unbiased, and to write it just like an encyclopedia. I edited the work for other classmates, and I suggested them that their tone should be flat, and it should sound like a History paper.
 * What kind of feedback did you get from classmates and other Wikipedia editors? Did you review the work of other students?

I received specific instructions about copy right and plagiarism from my Computer Science teacher before I even started to edit the article. My expectations matched well with Wikipedia's treatment because my teacher has prepared well for it.
 * Did you get specific instructions about copyright and plagiarism before beginning your assignment? How does Wikipedia's treatment of copyright and plagiarism issues match up with what you expected?

Yes, I did and so far no one has added anything to it. I am willing to accept suggestions from others and make the article even better even if my class project has ended.
 * Did you follow what happened to your article and its talk page after you made your edits? Do you plan to keep an eye on how it evolves after your course ends?

I strongly believed that this project was something that was important not only for my grades, but also for the world. I got the chance to contribute to the world's education.
 * Did you feel that your work on Wikipedia mattered? Did it matter more or less than a regular term paper or essay?

I want to keep editing Wikipedia in the future because I want be a part of that huge community that contributes to other people's education. I want to edit the sections that focus on human rights issues, like honor killing in some countries, or hate crime.

It does matter. However, I felt frustrated that I couldn't give more analysis, and it was only description. It is more useful for the world, but it would have been more useful to me to give a regular paper, with an analysis of the subject and my personal opinions.

 * Which class were you in?

...Nothing stood out. I largely enjoyed the assignment. I did wait too long to post and got scooped as a result. That was the only downside.
 * What did you have the most trouble with?

...I did. It helped somewhat. The most useful part was the sort of philosophical/mission part which explained exactly what sort of content and sourcing Wikipedia looks for. I'd cut the bits on formatting and whatnot. I mostly looked up technical questions as I went.
 * Did you take the "Training for Students" before you started your assignment? If so, how well did it prepare you for editing?

...Just to move quickly and edit as you go. I think the sandbox idea made me somewhat timid. I would have produced a better article if I had simply had at it, and that way I wouldn't have been scooped. I could always go back and make a holistic edit at the end.
 * Is there anything you really wish you'd been told right when you were starting?

...Generally good. I did review the work of another student and found his work largely good.
 * What kind of feedback did you get from classmates and other Wikipedia editors? Did you review the work of other students?

...Pretty straightforward. It's hard to spend much time in college (even high school really) without getting the point considering how central an issue it is these days.
 * Did you get specific instructions about copyright and plagiarism before beginning your assignment? How does Wikipedia's treatment of copyright and plagiarism issues match up with what you expected?

...I have and I do. I enjoy copy editing, so while I likely won't add much in terms of content, I will continue to make sure the spirit of the article is maintained and effectively conveyed by its style and a tone.
 * Did you follow what happened to your article and its talk page after you made your edits? Do you plan to keep an eye on how it evolves after your course ends?

...Yes to both. It really helped me to write about an individual, and I would recommend that to anyone who edits Wikipedia at some point. You feel a deep sense of responsibility to truthfully encapsulate a person's legacy.
 * Did you feel that your work on Wikipedia mattered? Did it matter more or less than a regular term paper or essay?

...Yes. I'll mostly do copy edits. Content edits will be rare, but I'll do them on articles which cover subjects I consider myself an expert (or informed amateur) on. For instance, I edited the page on Paul Morphy only for clarity because I know little about him, but I will likely edit the page on Wounded Knee because I know that many historians (myself included) think it's silly to characterize the event as a "battle," yet the Wikipedia page does so.

 * Are there any editors you'd like to thank for their help?

... no, not really.
 * Any other feedback you'd like to share?
