Exercise addiction

[edit]

Hi -- I noticed that your students are working on the Exercise addiction article; you may not have realized it but another class has also selected that article to work on. The other class's course page is here -- I'll leave that instructor a note as well. There is some assistance available to instructors who'd like to use Wikipedia in the classroom; the main coordinating page for that effort is here. I'll leave a note there to let folks know about your class -- I don't know if you want or need assistance, but volunteers like myself can help in explaining Wikipedia rules and policies, and in guiding the students. If you have any questions, just leave me a note. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 19:23, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Linfield students are requesting that the St Charles group select a different article. Due to the fact that the St Charles group created the Exercise addiction article, I've made a recommendation that the Linfield College students select a separate article. That said, the instructor of the St Charles group is open to having his students collaborate on the article with the students from Linfield. Thoughts? Best regards, Cind.amuse (Cindy) 20:24, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mike - my students did just recently notice that another group was possibly working on the same article and made contact at that time. However, this was after they had initiated quite a bit of research and, to my knowledge, they haven't yet heard back from them. As it appears as if they haven't worked on it I suggested they proceed. Now I see that Cindy indicated the other group created the article (although from my quick look I couldn't tell that they've had any activity on the page which may be a result of my own relative inexperience on Wikipedia). That would be great to receive assistance and help (particularly in situations like this). Is there a way to list my course there? Many thanks for your help! Tatompki (talk) 02:58, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Cindy - As I described above my students have proceeded with this article because they were so far into the process and we couldn't see any recent activity from the other group. At this point in the semester it would be preferable from my perspective if they could all collaborate on the article as there isn't enough time for them to choose another topic. Should I try to get in touch with the instructor of the other course? As this is the first time I've used this assignment it is definitely a learning opportunity for me and I would love advice about how to prevent this type of problem in the future. One of my other groups ran into this as well but it proved less challenging in that the other students (after a couple of weeks) eventually informed them that their assignment was just to critique vs. write an article. Many thanks for your help! Tatompki (talk) 03:05, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The other instructor, Mitch Harden, pointed out that his students are working in a sandbox whereas yours are working in the article directly, so there may be no direct conflict there. Yes, I think it would be an excellent idea for you to talk to Mitch on this -- his talk page is here. In theory the two groups could collaborate since everything can be coordinated on-wiki but that might be rather a challenge, and is something you and Mitch should decide in any case.
I'll keep an eye on the article and will try to help if I can; please drop me another note if I can answer any other questions. I hope things go well! Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 13:43, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Also, here are a couple of links you may be interested in. Wikipedia:School and university projects is a list of school and university projects currently active -- you may wish to add your class to that page (it would be helpful as it provides a central listing). The other link is to User talk:Tomcloyd, the talk page of the regional ambassador for the northwest for the US education project. There are support resources available via that project, including having editors available to help your students and provide in-class training, so you may find it useful to contact Tom and find out more. I hope this is helpful. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 22:58, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Tatompki, I think you are in safe hands with Mike. Collaboration is an excellent goal. This will be a lesson in consensus, which is one of Wikipedia's Five Pillars, or primary policies that govern the community. The only issue that will need to be addressed is attribution. Once the collaboration is complete, please make sure to fully attribute the work on the article's discussion page. Simply list the Wikipedia accounts of all students that participated actively through writing and editing, along with links to the course page for each school. You will find a list of the students to be attributed in the article's history, as well as in the history at the sandbox. For clarification on Mike's comment above, we have two programs that provide support for schools and universities working to incorporate Wikipedia into the classroom and curriculum. One is the School and University WikiProject (SUP), while the other is the United States Education Program (USEP). The USEP provides official support through Regional, Campus, and Online Ambassadors, trained through the Wikimedia Foundation. (Tom Cloyd specifically provides support through the USEP, if you choose to participate in that particular program.) We do not yet have onsite Campus Ambassadors at Linfield College, but would be able to train any current Linfield student or individual that may be interested in serving in that role. The other program (SUP) allows professors and students to work more independently, outside of direct support. There are benefits with each approach. Feel free to check out the links provided. If you have questions about either program, please don't hesitate to contact me. Best regards, Cind.amuse (Cindy) 03:15, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Quick question

[edit]

I was wondering how to change the title of our page "Corumination" if at all possible, since we changed CR to "Co-rumination" throughout our page. I looked around and have been having trouble figuring it out! Thanks! Jessilucas (talk) 18:30, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
