You don't need to be an educator to edit. You only need to be bold to contribute and to experiment with the sandbox or your userpage. See you around Wikiversity! --Abd 20:22, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Your identity
Jivasu, you have taken as a username the name of the teacher Jivasu. Are you Jivasu himself? If so, I'll want to verify this. If you are someone serving him or wanting the educate about him and his teachings, that's okay, but I'll want to suggest that your user name be changed, so that there is no confusion. Thanks. --Abd 20:47, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Confirmation of Identity
Jivasu created this account and asked me to post. Should I post under a different name? I created an account for myself for testing things. I am not even sure if this is the correct place to post this article. Jivasu wanted it on wikipedia, but from what I was reading it appears that it is not in a correct format for a Wkipedia article.

 * Thanks. One person posting with the account of another is disapproved. I suggest that you register a different account, for yourself, and use it for participation here, and I suggest to Jivasu that he use this account only for his own editing, if he wants to edit. That way, he's responsible for what he does and you are responsible for what you do.
 * When you create a new account, connect it by mention on your user page with this account, acknowledging that you did edit, under instruction, for Jivasu at one time, and disclosing your relationship.
 * Yes, the page you created here would almost certainly not be appropriate for Wikipedia, as-is. But I did see a value to it being here, and so I placed it in context. I cannot personally assist you on Wikipedia, but I may be able to give you some advice, I know Wikipedia quite well.
 * For Jivasu's protection, I'm thinking of blocking the account until it can be independently established that he has control of it. That block would not be any kind of "punishment," it would simply be protection against unauthorized usage by any person other than Jivasu. But there is no rush here. Do please establish an account for yourself and acknowledge it by a dual edit (i.e., you edit the same page, perhaps the user page of the new user, with both accounts, to show you have control of both. From that point, you should not use the Jivasu account any more. Okay? --Abd 19:28, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks I will try and do so. my account is christine42Jivasu 14:34, 15 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Christine42 is editing this page from her new account. She will not use Jivasu's account Christine42 14:38, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Christine. I'm going to trust your assertion that you won't use this account again, and I recommend to Jivasu that he change his password for security and not allow anyone else to edit using his account. It's fine if he asks you to help, as he did, but it should be done through another account. (It probably doesn't matter, but he could specifically authorize you through an edit to your user page, having established identity through off-wiki means, contact me by email to inquire about this.)
 * There is an experimental process which I have started whereby Jivasu could name you as his "proxy" on Wikiversity; this would simply mean that you'd be considered, in some general way, to represent him or his interests. See Delegable proxy and Delegable proxy/Table. (One way that this might be of use is that someone who has a question to ask of Jivasu might ask you, and you could pass it on if you thought that worthwhile, or respond from your own knowledge.) --Abd 15:18, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
