TreyDumler for President!
editHey Kathleen
I'm guessing you're the course leader for History of Science Since the 17th Century (Fall 2016), per Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/University of Oklahoma/History of Science Since the 17th Century (Fall 2016). Just a quick note for you on TreyDumler, one of your students, who was assinged the work of creating an article Kate Gordon (psychologist). I want to confirm that Trey did indeed create that article, but we found that it duplicated an artice which another student (hi Dqc4578) did on another course - Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/RIT/American Women's and Gender History (Fall 2016) under the title Kate Gordon Moore.
My main concern in writing to you is to ensure that you understand that Trey did indeed complete the work assigned - this revision of the article is probably as good as any to look at - it looks like a pretty fine piece of work to me.
So. Trey has been working overtime merging the Kate Gordon (psychologist) article content into the Kate Gordon Moore article, and eventually the Kate Gordon (psychologist) article will disappear altogether. Trey and I have also been working together very happily for a few hours on obscure questions of referencing, so I'm seeing a great deal of effort going in and interest being shown. And all this on a Friday night, when by rights Trey really should be out abusing psychoactive drugs, rather than editing biographical articles.
Let me ping @Tamar Carroll:, your counterpart on the American Women's and Gender History (Fall 2016) course and Dqc4578's professor, so that Tamar is sighted on the fact that Dqc4578's work is now being colonised by Trey and me, and @Ian (Wiki Ed): and @Adam (Wiki Ed): who I think are the pertinent content advisors, so that all of us are sighted on what's been occurring. thanks --Tagishsimon (talk) 04:35, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
