Welcome to the WPCSU

We can start by inviting more people to join the project! If you like, you could click here and add your name to the list of contributors. I'm very excited to see a great-positive response from various Cal State editors. Many of us have personally worked on the Cal Poly and Cal Poly Pomona respectively and both articles are in pretty good condition, but others like CSU Stanislaus or CSU Monterey Bay (just to give an example) need lots of help. After a couple of days (the project was created yesterday) we can more or less evaluate the articles conditions more thoroughly and perhaps reach a general consensus on what urgently needs to be addressed. However, no one in the project is going to boss anyone around into doing a specific thing or assigning tasks or whatnot. Once again, welcome aboard Sawagner201! I'm positive that the articles' quality of our beloved Cal State will improve significantly in the short and long-term. --Dabackgammonator (talk) 06:24, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

User:DC

Good luck negotiating with User:DC on the issue. In addition to prematurely nominating Harvard for GAN (see discussion here), he tried to whitewash WP:BOOSTER out of WP:UNIGUIDE characterizing it as a "few peoples essay". Madcoverboy (talk) 00:37, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Looking for Wikipedia Ambassadors

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you are listed as a Wikipedian associated with Harvard. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at schools in Boston and Cambridge (including Harvard), which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you live near Boston and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from the area who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.

If you're an experienced and active Wikipedian, you might be interested alternatively in becoming an Online Ambassador. The role of Online Ambassadors is to serve as mentors for students; it doesn't require any in-person outreach. Take a look at the Online Ambassador guidelines; the "mentorship process" describes roughly what will be expected of mentors in the coming term. If that's something you want to do, please apply!

You can find instructions for applying at WP:ONLINE. The main things we're looking for in Online Ambassadors are friendliness, regular activity (since mentorship is a commitment that spans several months), and the ability to give detailed, substantive feedback on articles (both short new articles, and longer, more mature ones).
