Wikiversity talk:Community Review/The making of a mascot:What are the parameters?

General comments
I favour diverse experimentation with Wikiversity mascots - I think it is one way to make Wikiversity more friendly and fun to newcomers in a 'wiki' way. So, welcome to Jacob Frank! I guess I would point out that no-one owns mascots - they are a community expression. And they would need to be acceptable to the community. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 05:46, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Page move
I'd be inclined to shift this page to Wikiversity:The making of a mascot: What are the parameters?; I'm not sure that it warrants WV:CR. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 05:47, 17 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah well just don't do that. Someone has requested a community review of something. Either help to review it or do nothing. Don't post your comments on the talk page where nobody can see them. RTG 17:27, 17 March 2010 (UTC)


 * It may be a favourable outcome of a review to produce a page such as Wikiversity:The making of a mascot: What are the parameters? but that desn't mean you put a stop to the review, even if it appears there is little interest in particiating the review right now. "We decided not to review it because we made a new page for it." Then where is the review? You'd have to come back again and make another review. If nobody reviews it fine, review it another time, but let them have the opportunity. RTG 17:51, 17 March 2010 (UTC)


 * No worries, I'm happy to see it reviewed. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 21:21, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Idea behind mascots
More fundamentally, I'd be interested to learn the general idea behind mascots and how they are used. I note there are a few mascot accounts and I think we need more clarity on who operates them and perhaps to consider what edits they should be making. I recall blocking after that account was abused so there is a real need to consider such potential issues. Adambro 20:00, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
