North Carolina World War I
Hi! Are you the instructor / professor leading the learning project North Carolina World War I? If so, please note that one of our more enthusiastic editors tagged all of your students' pages for deletion, not recognizing that it was a template for a class project. I've cleaned that up, and moved the student pages to subpages of the learning project. This will keep them out of harms way and allow your students to develop their pages as designed for your course. If by chance you are not the instructor, please ask your instructor to contact me for assistance. We welcome your class and their contributions. We just want to help you and them organize the content a bit so that others will leave it alone. Thanks! -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 04:59, 10 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi Dave, yes, I'm a professor leading the learning project. My students are creating their pages and may begin adding/deleting new pages over the next two weeks. Thanks for double checking. This is the first time I've used Wikiversity and look forward to learning more about its educational possibilities.


 * Good to hear from you! Students are welcome to do pretty much whatever you ask of them, as long as they create their pages as subpages of your project.  The idea is that we would never have an entire course on Joseph Lucius Reed, but a course/resource on North Carolina World War I makes perfect sense.  So, please ask them to create their pages as North Carolina World War I/person name.  If they do that, the pages should be left alone for them to edit.  If they create the pages in main space, we'll move the pages under the North Carolina World War I learning project for them.  Let me know if you or they have any questions.  Thanks!  -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 20:51, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

World War I -- Life Histories
What's the relationship between North Carolina World War I and World War I -- Life Histories? Are these the same learning project, or different instructors? -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 21:11, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello
Hi - I am a professor of Physics and also have just started as a Wikiversity Custodian. In fact, you are my first "case". I just moved an article your student wrote to the student's userspace at User:Rrebunc123/North Carolina World War I/Becky Goins because deletion is permanent.

I have been involved with Wikiversity for less than two years, but feel we are all just learning how to best use this wiki. I am focusing my efforts on lower division courses, where fact-oriented quizzes are appropriate. But I am also interested in your project-oriented approach, and am seriously contemplating having my students write reports on Wikiversity just as you did. If you have any ideas, questions, or suggestions, don't hesitate to contact me. --Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 18:32, 5 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Okay, I think I figured out what happened here. Becky Goins, likely a student name, created content on William Victor Tomb.  Then Mississippi28 copied the content from the Becky Goins page and created the William Victor Tomb page, and tagged Becky Goins for deletion.  Here's the problem with that.  The user Rrebunc123 created that content, and under CC-BY-SA licensing, the BY in particular, must be credited for having created the content.  Therefore, it's a licensing violation for Mississippi28 to take that content and create a new page without giving Rrebunc123 credit.  The correct way to do this is to just move / rename the page to what it should have been named.  But once they're split like that, with multiple authors, the only solution is for a custodian to merge histories, deleting the new page, putting the old page on top of it, and then restoring the new page on top of that so that all of the edits are listed together and credited appropriately.  This is now done.  -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 02:41, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Hi Mississippi28!

The maintenance bot has mentioned above that your uploaded file File:Jane1.jpeg is missing licensing information. If you like I can put a fairuse license on it with a template that you and your students can then change the information, fill out and use for their various project image uploads. Files uploaded for more than seven days are traditionally deleted to prevent potential copyright violations. Please advise! --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 01:36, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
