Professor Welser,

I was editing my group's wiki page on identity control theory and I just now realized that had forgotten to sign in. Because of this my main edits are marked by my computer's IP address which apparently is 65.24.139.236. I am really sorry about this inconvenience but i can't really go back and change it.

Thank you!

What are these methods? While the methods may warrant their own pages, demographic analysis is demography. Perspicacite 19:28, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You may be interested in WP:SUP and WP:WPCC. -- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  04:52, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Piotr-- Thank you very much for the pointers to the course coordination pages. I will definately use the suggestions and tips therein. --Htw3 16:03, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My pleasure. In future, consider copying your replies to the other person talk page, so they can be notified of the reply. Let me know if I can be of any assistance (I am a grad student in sociology and one of wiki admins, for reference).-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  18:24, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Few other notes: Causation and Research Design was speedy deleted by admin User:Natalie Erin, after User:Saxsux identified the article as a copyvio of [1]. If you could create a list of the articles created/edited by the students, we could go through them and list issues for improvement. Also, if you can tag such articles with {{EducationalAssignment}} (on their talk pages), it would be great. Another useful template if {{WikiProject Sociology}} (see Wikipedia:WikiProject Sociology/Assessment). -- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  18:26, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

120 student project? That's very impressive; it is something I'd like to do one of those days (I wrote an article on Teaching with Wikipedia - [2] - but it is more 'suggestions' than 'experience' (which I have very little of)). I'd love to hear how you prepared the course and how are you administering it (subject selection, distribution among students, etc.). This is even a publishable topic - to my knowledge nobody has described how they actually thought a course on Wikipedia yet.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  19:44, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ha, this is very similar to the framework I proposed in my article (search for missing stubs, assign students in groups to them). I am looking forward to seeing how do you - and the students - rate the experience! -- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  20:56, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article had some fairly serious style/formatting/citation issues which I've resolved but wanted to bring to your attention since your use of wikipedia as a pedagogical item may mean that similar issues may exist elsewhere. As Piotrus mentioned above, there are some intro pages that should be quasi-required reading, but I would emphasize the Manual of Style, Guide to Layout, and Citation Templates as the standards the community uses. Also, don't forget to add some categories to new articles so you can get more "foot traffic" through your article as many experienced editors monitor these category pages for changes. Let me know if I can provide any other help. Madcoverboy (talk) 06:09, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted to point out that the manner in which the references were formatted (namely, "superscripting" the ^{off-wiki link} to imitate footnote citation markup) indicates, to me, a willingness to format according to existing standards. I understand that many wikipedia "policy" articles (like those I linked above) are either meaningless or impenetrable -- something that definitely needs to be thoroughly evaluated and addressedZ. So I don't think it's merely a matter of the students not caring about the formatting, but rather that, the means of explaining why and how to do it are poorly implemented on our end.

I have no intention to merge theory of religious economy into theories of religion in the coming two weeks. I (will) oppose merging a well-written, informative, well-cited article of reasonable length, but at the moment it is none of that very much. I greatly welcome improvements by your students, because I do not have access to the sources that you proposed. I am particularly interested in the application of the theory of religious economy for the situation in the Netherlands, because I live there and I think it cannot explain the continuing secularization there. (I read the abstract of an article about this subject and I tend to agree with the criticism of the religious economy.)Andries (talk) 15:14, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Just to let you know, there is currently a discussion regarding an issue with which you may have been involved here on Administrators' Noticeboard/Incidents. Thank you. --Bfigura ^(talk) 02:53, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Htw3!

As you can see from the WP:ANI link above, we've been having a small community discussion about your Wikipedia school projects. We encourage teachers and professors to involve Wikipedia in their school projects, and we have some specific advice about it at WP:SUP, which links to various groups, templates, and places to host school project pages.

The one concen we have is that some of the school project pages you have hosted on in your userspace are not always associated with Wikipedia. For example, User:Htw3/Digital.projects.2009 doesn't seem to have much to do with Wikipedia.

An important policy for Wikipedia is WP:WEBHOST which essentially says you can't use Wikipedia as a webhost for content un-related to Wikipedia. Why? Basically, Wikipedia is required to use the resources given to Wikipedia (ultimately from charitable donations and other means) for purposes consistent with the stated goals and intentions of Wikipedia. Obviously, hosting web content not related to Wikipedia would be inconsistent.

We still don't want to lose you using Wikipedia for class projects. My suggestion, though, would be to restrict your school project pages to Wikipedia-related projects. If you want, we can help you move the other content off Wikipedia. Singularity42 (talk) 04:19, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
