User name
Thank you for your message. But I can't understand why English wikiversity and English wikipedia refuse non-latin charactors. --っ 09:17, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your thoughtful answer. We, who have used non-latin charactors for username at English Wikipedia, were very confused by that policy in Wikipedia, because we've wanted use same usernames (no transcription) in all Wikis, but we use Japanese usernames in Japanese Wikis.--っ 14:21, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your comment
Thank you for commenting to my UFO research page, that is exactly what we need on wikiversity, the people's views on the research. Student Galaxy 22:12, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Question
Hi JWSchmidt - if you might forgive my directness - would it be possible for you to open up a bit more and tell us more about your philosophies behind bureaucrats on this site? --HappyCamper 03:36, 9 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for getting back to me. I really appreciate the posts that you are making. Lots of food for thought. I am still thinking of a more adequate and satisfying response for some of them - one and two word sentences on my part don't offer much to go on I think. Stay tuned... --HappyCamper 22:51, 10 December 2006 (UTC)


 * "...adversarial and crisis-oriented" <-- these words are worth their weight in gold. --HappyCamper 17:56, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Barnstar
Reply to your message on my talk page: no, its more that ive been lurking without editing wikiverity for about a month, and i registered so i could nominate you, heltec, and sebmol for custodianship. How do you nominate someone anyway? Drill Bit

Return!
I have returned and am now free to contribute. Tomorrow is the official end of midterms/finals. I just have one question before we begin, is there a way to upload .ppt files (PowerPoint)? -- J.Steinbock 20:41, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I remember downloading them from the wikimania wiki,so they should be able to be up loaded as well. What do you think JWSchmidt?--Rayc 05:33, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Game maker
You were talking to me the other day about how kids could learn better with games. What do you think about this: "Game Maker"--Rayc 05:33, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Custodianship
Hi, I've just nominated myself for custodianship, but I don't quite think I've done it right, can you check for me? Student Galaxy 14:48, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

IRC down?
Is something wrong with freenode today, or is it just me? Did a bit of reading on research-l... not what I was expecting to find, but interesting. --SB_Johnny | talk 16:27, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I have also had troubles with it. -- J.Steinbock 16:29, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Protection
Should I protect certain templates/pages that are used on the main page? I don't think that it would be a problem that people would vandalize pages that are transposed on the main page, but we must always keep the future in mind. -- J.Steinbock 18:12, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Main welcome template
Why was the template removed on the Public Health Strategies for HIV article? Right now, it is simply a list of external sources without any additional information from the Wikiversity community. -- J.Steinbock 18:23, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I see. Perhaps we should have an expand template? By the way, I posted a issue about the main welcome template in the Colloquium about the main welcome template and its use on blanked and empty pages. Many of my past edits have been based around this template, would you like me to revert those which are not deserving of the template? -- J.Steinbock 18:28, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree and I understand the valid point you are making, but that is not exactly related to my confusion. My confusion is what is stated on the Colloquium under the heading Page Deletions. -- J.Steinbock 18:36, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Paleontology
Is it ok to put this subject into 3 schools?, considering there studies overlap and correlate. Enlil Ninlil 01:53, 20 December 2006 (UTC)


 * How do I get periotic reviews on my work mate. Thankyou Enlil Ninlil 04:09, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Changing my username
I decided to change my username from っ to Qzzz. Please help me to do it.--っ 05:55, 20 December 2006 (UTC) Moment now, please.--っ 15:49, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Appeal board
I created a new appeal board for wikiversity, which holds the intervention against vandalism, sockpuppetry, page deletion and so on. We will need it as wikiversity is expanding quickly, it has grown quite a lot in the past month. You can find the link to the appeal board on my userpage. Student Galaxy 10:36, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

an amazing fact...
Have a look at this, that appeared on the recent changes log... (User creation log); 10:55. . Ilosanoma (Talk | contribs) (New user) (User creation log); 10:51. . Klebz40 (Talk | contribs) (New user) (User creation log); 10:30. . Mooncrater (Talk | contribs) (New user) (User creation log); 10:29. . Mondkrater (Talk | contribs) (New user) (User creation log); 10:26. . Tanu (Talk | contribs) (New user) all together on the recent changes, with similar names, what a funny, coincidence, I think we may have some sockpuppets here. Student Galaxy 12:54, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Bot
I' am creating a new bot for Wikiversity, and I've got it on the appeal page, why don't you take a look? User:Nitrobot Which automaticlly welcomes new users to wikiversity and detects page move vandalism Student Galaxy 13:24, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Merry christmas
Merry christmas and a happy new year, KWSchmidt. With all respect and honors. Student Galaxy 19:07, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Critisim
I would like to state some light critism to your wikiversity work, just a yesterday, a vandal went berserk and caused mayhem to several pages including mine, yet you let the user do 20 harmful edits before blocking them, you need to be a little faster next time. Student Galaxy 19:07, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Something else
Also, you'll need to archive my request at the canidates for custodianship, its been there well over a week, I haven't quite figured out how to archive things yet. Student Galaxy 19:16, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

WIKIVERSITY IS FASCISM !
Do something about this user. It appears to be a sock of the user the other day who was blocked. Student Galaxy 21:08, 28 December 2006 (UTC) I can tell as the past edits are linked to the name. They're on the recent changes log.

Also they're vandalising in the same way that they did yesterday. Block them now, they're replacing my userpage with abuse!. Student Galaxy 21:14, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Re: This user is certainly a sockpuppet, he's using them to evade bans, he did the same disrupting trolling edits as the user did the other day who was banned, in exactly the same style and language. Student Galaxy 09:42, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

I have opened a casefile in the Wikiversity appeal board for this user, I was hoping you could perform a checkuser, and get the Ip, because by the looks of it he'll keep returning with sockpuppets. Student Galaxy 17:19, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Re checkuser: I see what you mean, the Ip can be autoblocked, but the autoblock lasts only 24 hours and which is the time he waits to create a new account. So it will keep happening again and again. The user is a troll, and the things he has done is very very abusive and disturbing, we need his Ip, so we can get rid of him forever. Student Galaxy 18:27, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Wikiversity School of Philosophy
I am afraid I only just noticed the message at the top of Wikiversity about importing material from Wikibooks. I contributed to the School of Philosophy in the wikibooks older version of Wikiversity, and I have moved some of the text I wrote there to the courses on the School:Philosophy page. What should I do about this? (Alex beta 22:58, 30 December 2006 (UTC))

Well done
You are a very hardworking and skilled user JWSchmidt, your work on vandalism, project pages, and many pages have made wikiversity a better place. You deserve a golden barnstar for being the best working custodian. Student Galaxy 11:04, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Re: That's one out of 4 new barnstars I uploaded to wikiversity. Student Galaxy 17:10, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Why does everyone leave comments on your status for Buraecratship but never on my status for Custodianship? Student Galaxy 18:08, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
