two requests
Most of your students who are uploading images to Wikiversity are not providing the required source and licensing information. Some of the uploaded images appear to be copyrighted material that will have to be deleted from Wikiversity. Could you remind your students not to upload copyright-protected content to Wikiversity? Most Wikiversity content must be licensed so as to allow for free duplication/modification. We can have a small amount of fair use content, but it must be used only in the main namespace (and NOT in the user namespace) for a clearly defined educational purpose. Please see Uploading files for more information. Also, are you willing to go into your user preferences (the "my preferences" link at the upper right of Wikiversity pages) and activate an email address? It would be nice to have a way to contact you by email when Wikiversity is having a problem with your students. Thanks. --JWSchmidt 16:34, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for informing me. I already informed my students about the above problem, and pointed them to this wiki page.  In the future, please feel free to send me direct e-mail (you can find my e-mail address easily on the web).  Thank you again.  Eml4500.f08 14:11, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

User subpages
Hi, my name is James Neill, from University of Canberra, Australia. I'm a Wikiversity custodian and also teach some classes with students contributing to Wikiversity, so am very pleased to see your students so busy here! :). One suggestion I have is around shifting student notes and user-specific homework exercises into user subpages (and keeping them out of the mainspace). The other suggestion I have is that perhaps they could also work in the mainspace on improving the MATLAB page, and adding their content into subpages of that page (or a related course page). You might also be interested to see my comment on the MATLAB talk page. Hope this helps and please let me know if you would like any further explanation or examples, etc. PS I saw above you like to be emailed; I'm not sure of your name, but I will try to use wiki email. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 16:24, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I just tried to send wiki email, but for it to work you would need you to activate your email (in "my preferences"). -- Jtneill - Talk - c 16:26, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for your comments. Actually, the students have been instructed to work only in their user namespace, and not in the main namespace.  Regarding e-mail communication, you may want to check out the bottom of this wiki page. Eml4500.f08 15:43, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Great, thanks for that. I'll post here any mainspace pages I come across that I think should be in user subpages. Hope this works for you. Let me know if you'd prefer another way.

Disturbance
Apologies for the possible disturbance, I might have brought to your project by reverting few blanked-out pages. Blanking out valuable content is a common behavior of vandals, and when I saw IPs blanking out pages, I reverted them. Just after it I saw, that it was due to move of these pages to subpages, as it was required. In future please advise to your students, that they sould insert also delete or delete my page template. In this case the less informed users/custodians (like me) would know whats going on and what to do in order to help your project and maintain WV. :) Another question: The blanked out pages at "Notified" section could be deleted? --Gbaor 08:40, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I have put in a new warning message.  Please give the students some time before deleting these pages in case they need to recover anything.  Thanks.  Eml4500.f08 10:10, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem. I don't want to destroy anybody's work. Just make sure that the deletion templates will be put there after everything was moved. In case the page is deleted with some required content on it, there is still a possibility to undelete it, if one knows it's exact name. (The deletion just "hides" the page, but it still exists in the database.)--Gbaor 12:20, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * This is a bit post-hoc, I'm sorry, but perhaps useful for next time. In retrospect I think we could/should have created a template with a custom warning which could have been transcluded on students' pages in the mainspace. Then it would have been relatively easy to update warnings/communications to editors of those pages. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 12:44, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

course experiences
Hi! I am just wondering if you are planning to sum up your experiences with your class project on WV. Sort of case study and recommendations for other people, who want to do something similar with their students. I am particularly interested, how the students reacted to the fact that they won't contribute under their chosen nickname, but under username of (partially) fixed format. --Gbaor 05:14, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Students were given the choice of using anonymous (but structured) wiki usernames; see, e.g., the bottom of this wiki page to preserve their identity to others (except to the professor and TAs), even though most did not mind to use their last name. Eml4500.f08 12:06, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Image uploading by students on wikimedia commons
Hi, could you have your students categorize their problem set and other images when they upload them to the commons? I created a category for the images here; to include the images in this category they should include the wikitext. Thanks! 66.31.42.26 12:27, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Learning materials?
Hello. I was going through Special:ShortPages and noticed a large amount of pages which have apparently been moved to userspace pages by your students. This got me to wondering if there's any main namespace content being created, or if the class is just using Wikiversity for homework assignments.

I guess I'm just not really sure whether that's within our scope... were any learning materials added to Wikiversity that could be used by other students, instructors, and interested parties in the future? In particular, I noticed one page in the Matlab project that seemed to be a good addition, but that page was blanked as well.

I'll open a discussion about this on the colloquium sometime later today. Please encourage your students to take part in it! --SB_Johnny talk 14:24, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Block
User:Unstoppable Fandal needs a block. I've sorted out the Main Page and reverted all his (I doubt if that was a woman) edits. Here's ... that appeared on the Main Page and here's ... that appeared on the Main Page, I've checked and the image is one of yours.

User:Silentassassin hasn't vandalized (yet?) though the account was created almost at the same time as Unstoppable Fandal. I don't know if that is an acceptable username at Wikiversity but the account certainly needs to be watched.

Are you a sysop? If you aren't do you know any sysop who is currently active? Proxima Centauri 08:34, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Thank you!
Thanks for your steady use of wikiversity over time, and your many contributions here. –SJ + > 07:44, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
