Collaborative concepts and Action Research
Hi there - and I'm very happy to see you've added yourself to Developing Wikiversity through action research/Participants. Fascinating page at Collaboratively Building Concepts - this is something that needs to be done in order to do any sort of collaborative work - find common languages/frameworks to be able to comment on and critique our joint work. I'm sorry I hadn't seen this page before, but now that I have done, it seems that it could be a very useful space to develop as we start to define what our collective work will look like. These themes are already emerging on the project's talk page, so I'd be very interested in going through this in further detail. Good to meet you - and hopefully I'll get a better chance to go over your work, on MySpace(!) or elsewhere, over the course of this project. Cheers!

 * Thanks for the response, Said! Sounds like a very interesting project you're implementing there. Shamefully enough, I don't have a reference to hand that deals with the experience and/or product of a collaboration (which I presume is what you mean) from a theoretical point of view. Or perhaps I just can't think of any - I am sure there is quite a lot written on this subject, or close enough to be of direct relevance to this project. I think I will add anything I come across to that page instead of putting it here - that way it can be accessible to more people than just us two (and whoever else may be reading this page). ;-) A great number of academics write collaboratively - and collaborative writing can take different forms - but it would be a very useful project to tease out how academics might be put off from editing work done by another person whom they don't already know (which, again, is what I think you were alluding to here). That seems to be a slightly different project - though interconnected, of course - but all of which I'm fascinated to explore as part of building a bigger picture of what Wikiversity is, how it's used, what it offers, etc. Looking forward to working on that...

Decolonizing of Concepts
Hi, Saidkassem, you might find the following interesting in the context of your concept building project. Kind regards Nannus 17:40, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Kwasi Wiredu Toward Decolonizing African Philosophy And Religion In: African Studies Quarterly, The Online Journal for African Studies, Volume 1, Issue 4, 1998


 * Hi, thanks for the reply. I don't have a chat address yet (in fact I have never done an internet chat :-) and I am a bit busy at the moment (I'm sure you know the feeling). I have just started the Division of African Philosophy. Maybe you'll be interested. I will be trying to contact professors of African philosophy (e.g. Kwasi Wiredu) and invite them to let their students work on that project. I am not sure that will work, but if it does it could become very interesting. I won't have the time to do all the work myself.Nannus 14:17, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Image licences
An image you uploaded, pictured at right, does not have proper licence information associated with it. Wikiversity needs this information to ensure it's contents properly comply with our policy. To ensure this image isn't deleted, if you could visit the page and add the licence info it would be a great help. Thanks. Historybuff 03:34, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Some ideas
Hi Saidkassem. I like the Collaboratively Building Concepts unit and added a couple of ideas a while back (Extreme Sport and Globalization). I noticed your recent edits bring linguistics into the mix, so I wanted to make sure you are aware of the computational linguistics department and the OmegaWiki project as these relate to expanding our understanding of words and meanings. Also, as a jounalist, you might wish to join the efforts to build up the School of Journalism. Just a couple of ideas I thought I might throw your way. Thanks for your contributions!

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Saidkassem. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Saidkassem~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:54, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
