Hey all, I have now created: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Education_noticeboard
Brief description from the header: ---- Purpose of this page: This page is for discussion of students editing Wikipedia as part of their assigned coursework, with a focus on participants in the Wikipedia Education Program. It is for incidents that require rapid feedback and attention. These include: * Students deploying articles that have quality problems and need cleanup. * Students whose ambassadors have gone missing and need guidance or support. * Cases of incivility or conflict between ambassadors and faculty/students. * Cases of incivility or conflict between faculty/students and other Wikipedians. * Courses where the faculty have become nonresponsive. * Courses where the structure of the course is inappropriate or students are unaware of important policies. * A participating student's article has been deleted or nominated for deletion. * A participating student, faculty member, or ambassador has been blocked. * Any other issue with a user who appears to be a student editing as an assignment. ---- It needs your posts to become useful and survive! If you've encountered an education-related incident recently, please post about it, even if it's not urgent. Thank you! I'm going to post about this on some other lists too. -- Derrick Coetzee User:Dcoetzee On Mon, Apr 16, 2012 at 9:29 PM, Guerillero Wikipedia < [email protected]> wrote: > I agree that this would be a great step forward and could make the recall > process simpler. > > --Guerillero > > On Tue, Apr 17, 2012 at 12:08 AM, Frank Schulenburg < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> >> I agree, such a noticeboard would be really valuable - a couple caveats: >> >> 1.
