Aerospace engineering
Thank you for creating the Aerospace engineering resource. We have a custom of using Topic: namespace for departments. For example, there is Topic:Aerospace engineering which you may want to consider. There are several possibilities for having both resources so that your efforts are most welcome. What do you think? For example, your resource may be an advanced program. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 23:00, 19 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the considerations. I have seen the Topic:Aerospace engineering. My initial concern with that page is it seems to be generic knowledge which I perceived as something more tailored towards a Wikipedia page. Initially my view on Wikiversity is it should be a tool providing guidance for people towards an education on a subject. I only recently discovered wikiversity and the joy of editing wiki projects therefore I am a complete novice and naïve of the philosophies involved. Although, I’m learning quickly and super excited about adopting the methodology. I started Aerospace Enginnering mainly to get my feet wet for the first time. After reading your comment I reconsidered the already existing topic, and realized I should improve upon the work already created instead of re-inventing the wheel.--Detchie (discuss • contribs) 01:48, 21 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Also, regarding Wiki/Aerospace Engineering/getting started, this page would be better under the Aerospace Engineering learning project rather than under Wiki. Please let us know how we can help you get started with this project.  -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 00:59, 20 November 2014 (UTC)


 * I did notice Wiki/Aerospace Engineering/getting started was a little funky. I think I copied and pasted “wiki” to many times. I just discovered and started learning to edit Wikiversity, so thank you for the criticism. I don’t fully understand how to go about your criticism though. What constitutes the page being under wiki and not Wikiversity? What is the Aerospace Engineering learning project and where is it located?--Detchie (discuss • contribs) 01:48, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

Your thinking is right on target. Topic: Aerospace engineering should be for department information. Think of this as where people who want to develop content for AE to organize themselves. Aerospace Engineering should be for users who want to learn about AE. Move or revise whatever content is necessary so that things are where they belong, and AE users can learn what you want them to. Regarding casing, you may use either Wiki case or Title Case, but be consistent. Based on the headings you had in your pages, it seems like you prefer Title Case. With that in mind, I moved Getting Started to Aerospace Engineering/Getting Started. Be sure to look at the link in Aerospace Engineering to see how to shortcut link to subpages. The Aerospace engineering page should be redirected to Aerospace Engineering whenever you've got something you think is better than the Topic page. Keep asking questions as you have them. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 03:04, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
