Hi, Wayne, Thanks for the clarification. Yes, that is how I understood the 'rules' to be. Good to get confirmation though.
Sean, The page in question is this http://ch.wikieducator.org/My_Own_book/Theories_of_Learning. I came across it because my student whose contributions I follow recently edited it. I just marked it for deletion. I would rather not use my 'superpowers' until I I am sure I know the difference between good and evil :) Cheers Kubke On Wed, Nov 24, 2010 at 3:59 PM, Wayne Mackintosh < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi Kubke, > > What I mean is that as a collaborative wiki project all pages are > editable.
