making Wikiversity more welcoming to pre-college content
You might be interested in Pre-tertiary portal. What do you think about a portal or two that would serve pre-college students? I'd like to change the Main Page to include links to such portals (draft).

Checkuser discussions
Hi Leightwing. If you can spare the time, your opinion would be greatly appreciated in the discussion currently going on about getting local Checkuser permissions here on Wikiversity. As an active user here, you're probably familiar with the "quiet, behind the scenes" way that we introduce new Custodians, but requesting Checkuser actually requires a "show of support" for the foundation stewards to give us this tool.

If you're not familiar with Checkuser, it's a tool we can use to find the source IP address (and/or alternate accounts) of vandals and others who mean harm to the project. This allows us to both "stop the problem at the source", or in some cases lets us know we can't stop something at the source if an IP is shared by one or more constructive contributors. --SB_Johnny | talk 11:00, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
