Mjklin, saw your post re: using Wikipedia for teaching. I've used it quite a bit with my students, so you may want to take a look at Wikipedia:School_and_university_projects for more details on past school projects. Thanks. Fuzheado 08:26, 13 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I saw your comment too. :) If you are going to be grading your students on their work, and don't want other users to edit their work before you've graded it, then here's one way to do it. For each new article your students want to create, make a subpage from your userpage, e.g. User:Mjklin/name of the article and have your students write their articles on these pages. Other wikipedia users wont edit these pages. Once you feel they are completed to the best ability of your students, then they can be moved into wikipedia itself (use the "move this page" link and give the page a normal wikipedia title). At this point, they will likely be edited, or expanded by other wikipedia users, and treated in the same way as we treat all articles - deleting useless ones, improving bad ones, expanding good ones, and placing great ones on Wikipedia:Featured articles.  :) fabiform | talk 15:50, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)

==News and the Public Domain==

Salve, Mjklin!
Saw your question about the news being in the public domain and I've posted a rather lengthy reply at Wikipedia:Reference_desk#Is_news_public_domain.3F. Hope this helps. Ave! PedanticallySpeaking 17:10, Nov 16, 2004 (UTC)

Learning styles

Learning styles has been nominated for Collaboration of the Week. You might be interested. --Westendgirl 04:14, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

As a follow-up to your question on my talk page...I wasn't sure if you meant you needed more information on Collaboration of the Week or on learning styles. If you think the topic should be expanded as a targeted effort this week, you can vote on the Collaboration of the Week page. As for learning styles, I must admit I have just a cursory knowledge of the subject. I recently finished an instructor training program and one of the courses focused on adult learning styles. People generally learn in similar ways, but prefer certain approaches or styles. Children are more likely to see instructors/teachers as authority figures and do not really have the experience to contextualize what they learn. In comparison, adults bring experience and may resist information. They also tend to know how they learn best. Some of the academic work on learning styles focuses on visual/auditory/kinesthetic learners or the Kolb Learning Inventory. I'll try to put some references on the talk page for learning styles. --Westendgirl 22:09, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

current issues in teaching

poorly writen and with out relevant sourcing, making it a completely useless article.

The Teaching Company

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article The Teaching Company, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. —G716 <^T·_C> 03:06, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:46, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
