Welcome to the Wikipedia Ambassador Program

Hi Tito Dutta!

Congratulations! Your application to join the Wikipedia Education Program as an Online Ambassador has been accepted. We are honored to welcome you the Ambassador team.

The information below is provided to ensure that your new role as an Online Ambassador is a successful one. There are tasks listed, as well as reading material. Please make sure to complete the actions presented below, as quickly as possible.

The Wikipedia Education Program is a relatively new program that is continuing to experience change and transition. Our goal is to be better than we were yesterday. For this reason, please remember to check the information and talk pages of the United States Education Program and the Wikipedia Ambassador Program often. If you have any questions, please contact myself or one of your fellow Ambassadors.

Please complete the following, as soon as possible

1. Add your username to the official list of Online Ambassadors;
2. Add a profile for yourself here; and
3. Read and review the Wikipedia Ambassadors Principles;
4. Read the United States Education Program's Memorandum of Understanding (provides list of current courses); and
5. Choose courses from the active lists (United States, Canada) and add yourself to the template and course page of the course you wish to assist.
6. Sign up for the Wikipedia Ambassador Program announcements email list.

Support Structure

Online Ambassadors serve as a vital link in the Wikipedia Education Program, assisting new student editors transition into the Wikipedia editing community. They serve in a leadership role alongside the course instructor; local Campus Ambassador(s), who work with the class in person; and the Regional Ambassador, who checks in periodically with the pod to make sure everything is going well. Together, the instructor, Campus Ambassador, Regional Ambassador, and Online Ambassador encompass the course "pod".

The pod is the term we use to refer to the group of individuals that work together to help the students in a particular course successfully contribute to Wikipedia. A prototypical pod might look something like this:

• A professor or course instructor who is fairly new to Wikipedia, leading a class of 20–30 students, who have been assigned to make significant contributions to new or existing articles related to the course subject.
• Two Campus Ambassadors, one of whom is an experienced Wikipedian and one of whom is new to the encyclopedia. The Campus Ambassadors are provided with training to learn the basic policies and guidelines of Wikipedia and how to help students contribute effectively.
• Two Online Ambassadors, one of whom is a moderately experienced Wikipedian, while the other is very experienced. Both have knowledge of community policies and guidelines and are available to provide editing guidance, answer questions, and assistance navigating the community. When needed, Online Ambassadors are also available for one-on-one mentorship.
• One Regional Ambassador, a moderately experienced Wikipedian who coordinates assistance and support for universities and courses based on a large geographical region.

Role and Responsibilities

The list of the responsibilities of the Online Ambassador are presented in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). In essence, the role of the Online Ambassador includes:

1. Helping students in your class(es) when they ask for it and answer their questions;
2. Serve as a liaison between the professor/student and the community;
3. In general, keep an eye out for the students and professors and help them navigate the community;
4. Helping students get feedback on their work (whether from you or other editors with an interest in or knowledge of the subject area)
5. Be a good example for students, modeling good faith communication and editing practices; and
6. Communicating regularly with the other members of your pod regarding the progress of the student, along with any issues that come up.

Online Ambassadors can also assist students that are outside of their pod. Generally, Online Ambassadors represent the Ambassador Program and provide assistance for students whenever encountered. While feedback on the style and formatting of student articles is essential, assistance may also be needed to review the articles substance and content. When needed, the Online Ambassador may request the assistance of WikiProjects that focus on technical issues presented in student articles.

Communication Channels

There are five main places for news, updates, and discussion about Wikipedia Ambassadors and the Wikipedia Education Program:

1. Wikipedia talk:Ambassadors
2. Wikipedia:Education noticeboard
3. Wikipedia talk:United States Education Program
4. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program announcements list. This is a low-traffic email list that is used for significant announcements that are relevant to the whole program. Please sign up as soon as you get a chance.
5. Internet Relay Chat (IRC). If you use IRC, please consider adding #wikipedia-en-ambassadors and #wikipedia-en-classroom to your channel lineup. The latter is the main help channel for the program, where students and instructors seek live help.

Future communication tools are being developed. Newsletters about the program or messages for Online Ambassadors may occasionally be delivered to your talk page. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Again, welcome to the Ambassador team! We look forward to working with you! The Interior (Talk) 06:29, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Adopt-a-user

Hi Titodutta. I'm leaving you this message because you have previously been involved as an adopter with Wikipedia's Adopt-a-user program. A clean-up of this program is currently underway, and as part of the process I am trying to find out who is and isn't still interested in remaining an adopter.

If you would prefer not to be part of the adoption program anymore, you need do nothing; when the overhaul of the project is completed your name will be removed from the list of active adopters. However, if you have current adoptees, an active adoption school or an interest in adopting in the near future, then please let us know by signing here.

If you want to remain in the project and can currently take on more adoptees, there is a serious backlog at Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user; it would be enormously helpful if you could take on one or two of the users there. Please do keep an eye on the project for upcoming changes, we could use your opinions and your help! Yunshui 雲‍水 09:23, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

I am in and active, posted message in four user's talkpage. Will post more after getting (or not getting) responses from these days in next 4–5 days! Best Tito Dutta ✉ 10:46, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi Titodutta, thanks so much for offering some of these backlogged editors adoption! If you don't mind, could you also make sure you change their {{adopt me}} template to an {{adopt offer}}? Worm^TT(talk) 10:48, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Splendid; I'll add you to the list. Yunshui 雲‍水 11:55, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi Titodutta. Thanks for agreeing to stay on at Adopt-a-user. I've recently updated the list of adopters and I have included you, per your original comments on that page and your comments at User:Yunshui/Overhaul/Adopters staying on. You can see your new profile at the list of adopters. Why not update your profile with an image and maybe have another look at your description? You can also include a list of any adoptees you currently have. If you are also willing to mentor problematic users, possibly as part of a conditional unblock, please include "mentorship=yes" in your profile. Thanks again for all your help.

I do not have enough time now, nor I am fully back! --Tito Dutta ✉ 03:32, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

My sanity has never come back. If I remember right, you are taking a break for school? How school going? Bgwhite (talk) 05:01, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

I am 24 years 10 months old (dob November 13 1987), left school a long time ago. Started preparing for a Government job (after doing and getting tired some private and part time jobs). The job is called WBCS– ( i.e. West Bengali Civil Service)– It needs a lo(ooo)ng preparation. The job is Government's administrative works. The exam runs for one year with three stages a) preliminary b) main (9 papers) and finally c) interview. Very very tough to get in after facing year long tests. The maximum age limit to sit for the examination is 32. So, I have some time still. I am planning to give it a try in next 1–2/3 year(s). --Tito Dutta ✉ 08:06, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Egads. I looked at West Bengal Civil Service (article needs alot of work) and a few websites. I never would have imaged such longs test that are so involved to apply for a government job. That is amazing. I have trouble speaking one language, little alone having to translate multiple languages. What kind of government jobs is this for? Why such a long and involved test? Bgwhite (talk) 08:27, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

This is one of the best jobs of the country with lots of reputation and power (really), best one is IAS (Indian Administrative Service) which is country's Administrative works and WBCS is state's administrative work (right after IAS). I think, any dedicated Wikipedia editor will feel attracted towards the work of a civil service officer, where you'll be appointed as BDO (Block Development Officer) if you are selected. A block is an area/municipality/part of town with 50,000 or more people where you are the highest rank officer. Interesting? There are two alarming issues

• Almost 200,000 people will sit or this exams, but only few hundred will be selected (as the article says, the exam is extremely challenging)
• Politicians (I mean ministers etc) are still much higher than these officers), while actually these IAS WBCS officers help politicians to run ministry. Someone has created a blog on WBCS. Of course not an RS for Wikipedia, but helpful for WBCS studies. And finally there is a (bad?) joke– it takes one month to understand only the syllabus of WBCS/IAS! :)

Frankly speaking, currently getting a good/high level Government job is a dream of most of the Indians (specially for people like me with average qualification). Good salary. More holidays than private sectors, medical (health) and some other privileges. The best part is almost 100% job guarantee/ security. That means you'll not loose your job for any economic instability, international economic crash etc etc. Few years back US, Europe etc faced economic crisis that had its effect in India too. Many many private sector workers lost jobs. But, Government workers were safe and sound then too. That's very assuring thing for many people (also for me)– job security. I have wasted last two–three years doing some bogus works, but I am back to concentrating on some Government jobs now (though it is very very tough). --Tito Dutta ✉ 09:05, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for the congrats on the 200,000 (sortof) edits. It is not that big of a deal as most are with the use of AWB. But, it is still alot of long hours of work. While I can remember, the question you asked me via email a month ago. Yes, but not for another month or two.

I can see why people would want to take the tests. The past few years of recession in the U.S. has also hit jobs. Government jobs have felt the hit of job loss less than other areas, but jobs have been lost in the Government sector. Federal jobs are still good, but depending in which state you live in, state and local jobs could be worse than private jobs. My wife is a teacher. The state no longer offers retirement benefits and cut health insurance. She now teaches at a private school that has very good benefits and better pay. My neighbor and some family members work for city government and haven't felt any cuts.

I'm just still amazed at the competition for a civil service officer. I've been telling family members about what you are going thru to get the job and they are all amazed. I hope the very best for you. Bgwhite (talk) 05:22, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

CVUA

Hi Titodutta. I'm leaving you this message because you have previously been involved with Counter-Vandalism, and may still be. The Academy project has been restructured, placing responsibility for it on the trainers themselves and as part of the process I am trying to find out who is still interested in remaining as active trainers.

In future, there will be no clerking or coordination, so If you are still active and can respond to requests from students within around 48 hours, you need do nothing until a new student contacts you on your talk page. Nevertheless, if your status changes, please update your entry on the table of active trainers at the new WP:CVUA page. If you no longer have sufficient time to commit to the CV training project, that's fine, but please remove your name from the active list. While on your travels however, should you come across users who are having a hard time with their reverts, don't hesitate to send them a link to the CVUA. Thanks, and happy editing!

Explanation of the word OM

Hi Titodutta, Recently, you have deleted an explanation of the word “Om”. I believe, this is against the rules of Wikipedia. You can’t delete such a beautiful authentic published work. You may not know the person - that does not mean, you have to delete the content. Wikipedia is not a personal property. I condemn your destructive mentality and narrow views.

GOCE September 2012 drive wrap-up

Guild of Copy Editors September 2012 backlog elimination drive wrap-up Participation: Out of 41 people who signed up this drive, 28 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Progress report: We achieved our primary goal of clearing July, August, September and October 2011 from the backlog. This means that, for the first time since the drives began, the backlog is less than a year. At least 677 tagged articles were copy edited, although 365 new ones were added during the month. The total backlog at the end of the month was 2341 articles, down from 8323 when we started out over two years ago. We completed all 54 requests outstanding before September 2012 as well as eight of those made in September.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
