A tag has been placed on Introduction to Intellectual Property Law in Canada, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article that does not provide sufficient context to identify its subject. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Click here to contest this speedy deletion which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. CanadianLinuxUser (talk) 12:45, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Gloominary sandbox
[edit]Hi. After revieweing Gloominary's article in the sandbox, I see nothing wrong with it. After his nomination for deletion, I see that another user helped him. Based on that user's contributions, the article has been cleaned up very nicely. Maple Leaf (talk) 23:23, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Canada Education Programme - Intellecual Property law course
[edit]Hello. With regards to the article for professor Katz's Intellectual Property class, the use of the banner is the best way to prevent redirection. If any further issues emanate, please contact me. Maple Leaf (talk) 14:23, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Hello. You have a new message at Skier Dude's talk page.
Page redirections
[edit]- I looked into the matter of student articles being redirected with the other ambassador, and the only solution would be to have a banner at the top of your article. This is beyond my capacity and requires the involvement of an admin. Maple Leaf (talk) 18:19, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
Template to avoid re-direction
[edit]One of the former Online Facilitators was gracious enough to assist me. Once you have figured out your topic, you can utilize this template to avoid redirection: {{WAP assignment}}. Good luck Maple Leaf (talk) 16:51, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Canada Eduction program / Intellectual property: deletion?
[edit]Hello, I tried to post my mandatory contribution for the Intellectual Property project. The topic is "Introduction to trade-mark law in Canada; passing off" (http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Introduction_to_trademark_law_in_Canada;_passing_off&action=edit&redlink=1). It has been deleted because there's already a page covering trade-marks in general... Any idea what I should do? Thanks a lot! Camiliac (talk) 17:20, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia Ambassadors update
[edit]Hi! You're getting this message because you are or have been a Wikipedia Ambassador. A new term is beginning for the United States and Canada Education Programs, and I wanted to give you an update on some important new information if you're interested in continuing your work this term as a Wikipedia Ambassador.
You may have heard a reference to a transition the education program is going through. This is the last term that the Wikimedia Foundation will directly run the U.S. and Canada programs; beginning in June, a proposed thematic organization is likely to take over organizing the program. You can read more about the proposal here.
Another major change in the program will take effect immediately. Beginning this term, a new MediaWiki education extension will replace all course pages and Ambassador lists. (See Wikipedia:Course pages and Help:Education Program extension for more details.) Included in the extension are online volunteer and campus volunteer user rights, which let you create and edit course pages and sign up as an ambassador for a particular course.
If you would like to continue serving as a Wikipedia Ambassador — even if you do not support a class this term — you must create an ambassador profile. If you're no longer interested in being a Wikipedia Ambassador, you don't need to do anything.
- Please do these steps as soon as possible
First, you need the relevant user rights for Online and/or Campus Ambassadors. (If you are an admin, you can grant the rights yourself, for you as well as other ambassadors.) Just post your rights request here, and we'll get you set up as quickly as possible.
Once you've got the ambassador rights, please set up at a Campus and/or Online Ambassador profile. You can do so at:
Going forward, the lists of Ambassadors at Special:CampusAmbassadors and Special:OnlineAmbassadors will be the official roster of who is an active Ambassador. If you would like to be an Ambassador but not ready to serve this term, you can un-check the option in your profile to publicly list it (which will remove your profile from the list).
After that, you can sign on to support courses. The list of courses will be at Special:Courses. (By default, this lists "Current" courses, but you can change the Status filter to "Planned" to see courses for this term that haven't reached their listed start date yet.)
As this is the first term we have used the extension, we know there will be some bugs, and we know the feature set is not as rich as it could be. (A big wave of improvements is already in the pipeline. And if you know MediaWiki and could help with code review, we'd love to have your help!) Please reach out to me (Sage Ross) with any complaints, bug reports, and feature suggestions. The basic features of the extension are documented at Wikipedia:Course pages, and you can see a tutorial for setting up and using them here.
- Communication and keeping up to date
In the past, the Education Program has had a pretty fragmented set of communication channels. We're trying to fix that. These are the recommended places to discuss and stay up-to-date on the education program:
- The education noticeboard has become the main on-wiki location for discussion of the Education Program. You can post there about broad education program issues as well as issues with individual courses.
- The Ambassadors Announce email list is a very low-traffic announcements list of important information all Ambassadors need to be aware of. We encourage all Ambassadors (and other interested Wikipedians) to subscribe to the list; follow the instructions on the link to add your email address.
- If you use IRC regularly, or need to try to reach someone immediately, the #wikipedia-en-ambassadors connect IRC channel is the place to find me and fellow Ambassadors.
- Ambassador training and resources
We now have an online training for Ambassadors, which is intended to be both an orientation about the Wikipedia Ambassador role for newcomers and the manual for how to do the role. (There are parallel trainings for students and for educators as well.)
Please go through the training if you feel like you need a refresher on how a typical class is supposed to go and where the Ambassadors fit in, or if you want to review and help improve it. If there's something you'd like to see added, or other suggestions you have for it, feel free to edit the training and/or leave feedback. A primer on setting up and using course pages is included in the educators' training.
The Resources page of the training is the main place for Ambassador-related resources. If there's something you think is important as a resource that's not on there, please add it.
Finally, whether or not you work with any classes this term, I encourage you to post entries to the Trophy Case whenever you see excellent work from students or if you have great examples from past semesters. And, as always, let students (and other editors!) know when they do things well; a little WikiLove goes a long way!

Librarian Campus Ambassadors
[edit]Wondering if you'd be interested in starting a conversation about librarian campus ambassadors? No firm ideas at the moment, just noticed that there are at least a few of us list on the campus ambassador page. Feel free to talk on my user talk page for now, although if we think this discussion is worth continuing, we should probably make a Librarian Campus Ambassador page.

Teaching course on St. George campus
[edit]Anna, my name is James and I'm teaching a course using wikipedia, HMB436H. I've taught the course before, and User:OhanaUnited was our campus ambassador. I'm wondering if you might be more appropriate since your local. Would you be willing to help? Many thanks Medmyco (talk) 20:11, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
Campus Ambassador
[edit]Hello Anna. I am putting together a wikipedia assignment for a senior chemistry undergraduate course, offered at the St. George campus of UofT. Are you available to serve as a wikipedia ambassador? Thanks.Dbzam (talk) 14:48, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
