I was thinking along the lines of the Signpost.

Hi!

What specifically do you mean with comments section?

There is always a talk page that can be used for comments. In the newsletter 
This Month in GLAM we let people who like to respond do that on the talk page. 
The template at the bottom of the article includes the comments of the talk 
page below the article. ( https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter )

Is that what be a solution for your comment?

We need to have comments sections for the articles, especially in important 
articles that talk about our challenges.


I would bet that the issues Liang has faced are common ones among those of us 
to who organize programs and are the face of Wikipedia to one or more 
educational institutions.


There is a small assumption I think in the Q and A format. That there is an 
assumption what with a change in a particular program, a problem can be solved. 
This is definitely not always the case. For example, how much responsibility 
should a program coordinator or teacher have for the quality of work produced 
by students? It seems to me that organized student writing gets a lot more 
scrutiny than those done by the "typical" Wikipedian, and complaints against 
programs are not rare.


Liang's article indicates that he receives money to review student articles. A 
similar situation exists at my school (and is in development). However, is that 
really a scalable solution? Is this a norm which will develop, because it could 
leave out collaboration with institutions who cannot or dont want the expense.


I think these are things that we as a community need to consider, not just 
individual programs/coordinators here and there.

Hello education community!

I'm happy (and relieved) to announce that the new issue of This Month in 
Education<https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/News> is out. There are 
some great stories to read, as well as a featured article about challenges 
written by Liang. Don't forget to submit your stories for the next issue by 20 
April! Late submissions will go in the next month's issue.

Wish you a great week, and for those at WikiCon, enjoy the last day of the 
conference!

best,

Nichole
