Autonomous Technology-Assisted Language Learning/Packages

The purpose of this ATALL Wikibook module is to provide a place for "technology-enhanced" language learners and teachers to describe how they use ATALL for their own language learning and/or that of their students. We refer to these descriptions as ATALL packages.

Each ATALL package may include the following components:
 * 1) The purpose or learning objective under consideration (e.g., to improve comprehension of rapidly spoken informal speech)
 * 2) The theoretical and/or empirical foundation(s) of the package (e.g., theory and/or research indicating that rapid colloquial speech is more easily understand when accompanied by transcripts or captions)
 * 3) A review of research of any past attempts to use technology for the purpose or learning objective of interest.
 * 4) The new technology used or proposed. This may include hardware (not necessarily computer) and software (e.g., DVD player that allows variable speed playback of standard DVD movies)
 * 5) The resources used (e.g., specific websites, podcasts, Internet videos, DVDs, etc.)
 * 6) The activities undertaken with the technology and resources and how they relate to the theoretical and/or empirical foundation(s) (e.g., (a) reading a transcript of a movie scene and learning unfamiliar word and phrases, (b) playing the movie scene at slower-than-normal speed while reading captions in the original language, (c) playing the scene again at slow speed without the captions, (d) playing the scene at normal speed without the captions).
 * 7) The outcome(s) (e.g., personal accounts of use and results; use by students; learning and/or attitudinal outcomes; systematic and/or anecdotal evaluation of the package)
 * 8) Additional needs and recommendations (e.g. need for new or different resources; additional technology features, etc.)
 * 9) Conclusion(s)

Packages need not contain all of the information outlined above, that is, they need not be "complete packages."

As these packages are submitted by individuals to describe their own experiences, it would seem best that readers should refrain from editing them (except for minor edits involving spelling, grammar, style, etc.) and restrict comments to the Comments section at the end of each example. Original authors may then revise their package description and remove comments that are no longer relevant. Alternatively, package authors may wish to describe their packages in an external link (for example by preparing it and publishing it using Google Documents & Spreadsheets) and provide its title and link in this module of the ATALL Wikibook.

User:Paul Lynch/Concerning Permanent Stubs

Concerning Permanent Stubs

 * was the majority of the content made by a registered or anonymous user? - a large amount of the contributions made to

wikibooks is contributed by anonymous users. Although they usually contribute useful information, they don't continue to

contribute (unless they register).

 * Is it possible to contact a contributor of the book? - any wikibook that has someone who claims to be the editor

should not be deleted.

 * Can this book be merged with another wikibook? - before attempting to delete a wikibook, an attempt should be made to

find a book that could be merged with the wikibook in question.
 * When was the last major contribution made to any page of the book? - When considering what a permanent stub is, the

last major contribution should be considered (which does not include moving a page, fixing spelling errors, adding the

template, etc).

 * How large is the book? - the larger a book is, the more likely it will not be deleted.

I've created this template as a method for automatically displaying all the pages that start with a given prefix. This way, books can have an automatic TOC or a "sitemap" to be generated by a single template. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 22:55, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

 * That is a good point, but what if we include this on a subpage, such as "My Book/Contents"? I perhaps wouldl suggest that we could do the prefixTOC of, or whatever it is supposed to be. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 15:38, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

YO G!!!

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 GangstaEB. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name GangstaEB~enwikibooks 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 23:11, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 04:59, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

User talk:KieranMaher

Basic Physics of Nuclear Medicine
I like your new book about nuclear medicine, It's high-quality resources like this that are going to help make wikibooks an excellent resource for future generations of students. I just wanted to make a few quick notes to you. First, wikibooks generally frowns upon putting all sorts of personal information and biographical information on the module pages themselves. Basically, we can't guaruntee that other contributors won't come in and edit your personal information. Also, since the preface of the book is about you, I worry that perhaps it is in violation of policy here. Wikibooks modules need to maintain a "neutral point of view", and wikibooks can't be used as a personal advertisement vehicle. As such, I highly recommend that you move the biographical information that you have provided about yourself onto your own user page, or onto a talk module.

Re: Basic Physics of Nuclear Medicine
Done.

 * Wow, that was very quick. I hope i didn't come across as threatening or anything, I certainly didnt intend to. I mostly just wanted to spare your book from future complaints or problems. Like I said above, it is a particularly good book. Good luck in any future projects here, let me know if you need anything. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 02:15, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Just learning the ropes, mate. Many thanks for the very useful feedback.

iWheels???
"Willy on Wheels" is the name of a vandal, who uses "sock puppet" accounts to move pages. He is very infamous, and we have been unable to stop him and his vandalism. Let me know which pages got moved, and I will move them back and fix the damage. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 16:24, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Derbeth spotted and fixed it, thanks.--KieranMaher 23:49, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Image licenses
Could you add licenses to Image:NM3 11.gif and Image:NM7 16.gif. Thanks! --hagindaz 09:43, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Licenses were added to these images by 2 different IP addresses. Was this you? -- SB_Johnny | talk 15:03, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Both images were generated by me. I can't remember which IP addresses I would have used.  Sometimes I forget to log in.  But my intention was to put the images into the public domain. marz 02:24, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the excerpt
Thank you for adding on to my project @ Introduction to Physical Science I may need to trim it in order to make it grade-level appropriate, but you've saved me a lot of typing, research, and sweat in general. I plan to remove the excerpt note, but your book will be sited as a source and your name will be added to the contributors list, feel free to contact me at my talk page or on one of the books talk pages at any time. I hope you will contribute to IPS again in the future. And if you have any other science-oriented friends, please invite them to join the project!

Link to Radiation Oncology text
Very nice textbook. I have taken the liberty to link to it from our RadOnc textbook. So far it's mostly clinical, and the extent of our physics is minimal, so this will come in very handy! http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Radiation_Oncology/Physics Tdvorak 14:37, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Please be aware that the text is very diagnostic focussed, with no explicit therapy references. Some of the basic physics might be useful, but there's no treatment of important (to oncology) topics such as Pair Production and MIRD.  So, maybe it would be better to treat the link as an introduction to the physical aspects of diagnostic nucmed. I will place a link to your textbook if that's ok with you. marz 10:49, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:NM3 11.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:NM3 11.gif. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikibooks because of copyright law (see Wikibooks' Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikibooks are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information or giving false information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Study help desk. Thank you. SB_Johnny | talk 10:31, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

 * thanks for this. I've added pd-self to Image:NM3 11.gif and Image:NM7 16.gif.  Have you spotted any other images that need copyright statements?  marz 00:28, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I'll have a peek later. SB_Johnny  | talk 12:54, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Images
According to my records, you have uploaded at least 3 images that are currently without a copyright tag. The images are:

 * Image:NM14_1.gif
 * Image:NM14_26.gif
 * Image:LiveImage.jpg

Please tag your image with the appropriate copyright tags. If you would like, I can do it for you. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 17:15, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks, Whitenight! I've uploaded new versions of these images (with copyright tags) and the files listed above can now be deleted. marz 22:14, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

 * In the future, you can just add the tags... no need to re-upload them. -- SB_Johnny | talk 22:15, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Bot
I saw your comment about the bots on User talk:HDBot, and I think i can answer your questions. A "bot" is a program that is either automatic or semi-automatic, that is capable of making changes to the database. If we have a program that can send HTTP messages to the server, just like your webbrowser does, we can make the same kinds of edits from that program that we can from a web browser. Some bots can make edits to pages (like my bot), some bots can just read the pages and post alerts (double-redirects, pages that arent categorized, images without licenses, etc), and some bots can make bigger changes like moving or deleting changes. If you have any other questions, just let me know. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 18:08, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Image license issues
In the future, please be sure to tag all your uploads with appropriate license information before it becomes an issue. As well, you can use to find images which you have uploaded that are untagged or unlicensed. As well, I replied on my talk page. – Mike.lifeguard  | talk 02:19, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

 * As I said, Mike ... I'm still learning marz 16:39, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

German translation
As you might have realized, a german translation of your book is being worked out. Many people have already been working on it for a long time. As usual we do our best, but cant give any guarantee for it's quality. As we partly need the same images I've dislocated some to commons, so the wikimedia projects can save capacity. Even if you don't know any german you might want to have a look on your german edition: http://de.wikibooks.org/wiki/Physikalische_Grundlagen_der_Nuklearmedizin

--Yoshi--85.5.149.136 (talk) 00:32, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the update, Yoshi. Have fun! marz (talk) 05:08, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Just hang on
I can see you are upset, but equally you can't rescind the license (and therefore just remove) the content from the book. If you want the book deleted, please request it at WB:RFD and don't just delete all the pages like this. I've blocked you to stop you until a discussion is held. If you agree to allow a discussion to progress via the normal process I'll unblock you straight away QU TalkQu 19:31, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Global account
Hi KieranMaher! As a Steward I'm involved in the upcoming unification of all accounts organized by the Wikimedia Foundation (see m:Single User Login finalisation announcement). By looking at your account, I realized that you don't have a global account yet. In order to secure your name, I recommend you to create such account on your own by submitting your password on Special:MergeAccount and unifying your local accounts. If you have any problems with doing that or further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Cheers, DerHexer (discuss • contribs) 18:20, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Would you like your quizzes formatted for classroom use?
Hi. I noticed your quizzes at Basic_Physics_of_Digital_Radiography/The_Quiz. I am constructing an open source testbank that I call Quizbank because a google search will show other meanings of the word "testbank".

Can you explain what you are doing please. While you may be the primary author, that doesn't mean you can just remove all the content without discussion. QuiteUnusual (discuss • contribs) 13:35, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Having a nervous breakdown - sorry for giving you work to do marz (discuss • contribs) 21:42, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Following your action to change my reviewer status, I have now decided never again to contribute to wikibooks. Many sections of the wiki book are now out of date and irrelevant - a bit of an embarrassment for you guys really! marz (discuss • contribs) 03:37, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Now I find I can't even edit my own details until after the 4th June. You're behaviour. is that of a autocrat, QuiteUnusual. Next week I will delete all references to myself from this out-of-date book - and its out-of-date companion. And as a result will have no further association with yourself and your autocratic ilk. marz (discuss • contribs) 06:18, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I personally think that did the right thing, especially considering that it was not your first time. You can still contribute fully without reviewer - the only difference is that your edits will need to be reviewed, and you won't be able to rollback or check others' edits.
 * Having a "nervous breakdown" does not change the situation - you would be better off taking a short wikibreak rather than doing something you shouldn't. Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 06:19, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I couldn't give a stuff what you think. Its QuiteIrrelevant. Right, now I will arrange for unusual things to happen with these texts. What reviewer will you get to review high level physics in a very specialised area> Duh? marz (discuss • contribs) 06:22, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
 * P.S: there is nothing autocratic in what he did; if you think his action was inappropriate, you can use the unblock template and another administrator will take a look. Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 06:22, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
 * DILLIGAF! marz (discuss • contribs) 06:23, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Leaderboard - you need to realise that my previous deletes were associated with a despotic, autocratic, undemocratic administrator named JuTa who had started vandalising my wikibooks additions - so get your facts right, please.
 * Now you're buggering around Leaderboard with 'Wikibooks page Basic Physics of Nuclear Medicine/Production of Radioisotopes has been changed by Leaderboard'. Is this revenge activity or what?

QuiteUnusual
QuiteUnusual - 'no reason given' for my blockage - you are a definite AUTOCRAT

QuiteUnusualAutocrat
QuiteUnusual I can't even edit my own User Page! Not autocratic, but despotic. Also there's so many mistakes in this book. As an international expert in this field, please delete it and its companion wikibooks - NOW!

QuiteUnusual
QuiteUnusual You need to realise that I had hoped to re-write the two books - to bring them up to date. I needed to start with a clean slate, which passion you've now ruined with your autocratic, despotic, undemocratic manner. Why didn't you ask what I was up to before ruining my incentive. Typical bureaucracy is our WikiBooks!

And.....
 * more administrative gobble-gook - please phrase your replies in plain English so we can all understand   Jules  (Mrjulesd) - and who are you? in the wikibooks hierarchy??? Another QuiteUnusual QuiteUnusual or another bot????

 * Hi I'm an administrator here, see Administrators. I think the message is fairly clear. To be unblocked you need to convince an administrator you will no longer damage or disrupt Wikibooks. Until you can convince an administrator that this is the case you will remain blocked. Your comments here have not convinced me that this is the case. -- Jules (Mrjulesd) 12:11, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Just to note that your block will also expire in a week if you decide to sit it out. -- Jules (Mrjulesd) 12:13, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Hah! Just ride through the 'red tape' (huh?) generated by an unelected, biased, partisan, autocratic admin sort of person - QuiteUnusual QuiteUnusual marz (discuss • contribs) 12:27, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

QuiteUnusual Why oh why, I'm feeling bullied and discriminated against and will raise an issue about your behaviour at WikiBooks supreme. No donations to Wikibooks or written contributions till you sort out this problem

QuiteUnusual
 * your silence is evidence of your bullying and discriminatory attitude, QuiteUnusual (what a name for an administrator?) QuiteUnusual what a name for an anonymous entity. Are you just a bot?

I suggest that you stop making a fuss over the block. It was justified as it is and was made within the blocking policy. Making more unnecessary comments will either have your talk page access revoked or block being extended. --Minorax (discuss • contribs) 13:52, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

 * I suggest you desist from making bullying threats marz (discuss • contribs) 22:52, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

Whilst coming down from anaesthesia following a hospital procedure recently, I realise that my actions may have caused extra work for certain administrators, e.g. QuiteUnusual, Leaderboard, someone else and miromax(???). I found each of their actions to be way beyond acceptable behaviour. I never received a warning, just a straight out penalty. Bang! Please be aware that these administrators don't follow normal decency conventions.

Regarding your email
I had indicated when reverting your deletion that you are not supposed to remove stuff from your talk page when blocked, yet you repeated your action. This was the main reason I had to revoke your talk page access.

Regarding your general comments, I didn't respond to them mainly because I was waiting for QuiteUnusual to comment on your case. But "I never received a warning, just a straight out penalty.", QuiteUnusual did it because (to me at least) you were literally removing content from pages without explanation, which is a serious problem that would warrant a block for anyone, plus it was not the first time you were doing it. The latter was specifically why your reviewer permission was removed. Also, note that blocks are meant to prevent Wikibooks from damage, and if you supply a valid unblock reason/reason on why you were removing content, you should be (and have been) unblocked. If you can commit to not removing content and making an unnecessary scene from your talk page while you are blocked, I'll restore the ability to edit your talk page (you are free to archive this once unblocked). QuiteUnusual's question was meaningful, and all I'm seeing is, unfortunately, a fuss from you instead of a rational explanation which would be far more helpful. Also, regarding why "I can't even edit my own details", that is because a sitewise block prevents editing any page under than (usually) the talk page - the reason editing your own "details" (which I take to be your userpage) is not allowed is because spammers generally use their userpage to spam for services and was not targeted at you. Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 07:06, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Per what everyone else has said. I blocked you to prevent any further content removals until you had explained what you were doing. That's exactly what a block is for. I removed your review permission to stop you being able to use rollback. If you had just answered the question and agreed to a more rational approach than just deleting everything then I'd have unblocked. Right now based on the cross wiki personal attacks and threats to vandalise I'm inclined to make it a permanent block. QuiteUnusual (discuss • contribs) 16:44, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Note that everyone else equals three persons. Note that I received no warning message from you as I went through my meltdown. Note that I did not receive any specific warning from leaderbox re my reply on this page. Note that I have made no personal attacks and threats to vandalise. And yes, my friend, you are welcome to go down in history as the person who prevented the principal author (and only author in many chapters, and designer of virtually all the figures and graphs and tables) from editing his free-gratis contributions - over many, many years. And also an enthusiastic wikipedia foundation financial supporter. Go ahead with your bullying threat - I'll raise a glass of whiskey in praise of your actions - and vow never ever have anything to do with this wikibooks effort again. Please delete my name and contact details from the relevant pages - you've prevented me from doing this. I want to dis-associate myself totally. 194.193.170.251 (discuss) 00:30, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Regarding your second email, I will note that I did implicitly warn you with my edit summary, and even then you were making a scene on the talk page, which is grounds for revoking talk page access as per the blocking policy. Again, I should remind you that I am willing to restore talk page access should you commit to not removing content from pages and making an unnecessary scene. The same rules apply to everyone irrespective of history. [User:Leaderboard|Leaderboard]] (discuss • contribs) 08:45, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Per your last email, I have now restored your talk page access and you should be able to edit this page. Please use this to create a proper unblock request that clearly says what went wrong (and why you went on a deletion spree and made a scene), and that you will not repeat what you've done.

 * Yes, like that. You need to provide a reason, as the template asks you to. And use that to explain clearly, as I noted above, what went wrong (like you explained to me in your last email). Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 09:04, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

 * The reason is simple: I was coming off a general anaesthetic and didn't know what I was doing. The responses I received from all the admins have left me at the end of my tether. Feeling utterly bullied to the core. I feel like never ever doing anything on wikibooks ever ever ever again marz (discuss • contribs) 09:12, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * OK, I understand that meltdowns happens to people from time to time and that's why QuiteUnusual blocked you temporarily - to prevent damaging the project when, as you said, you didn't know what you were doing. It was not meant to punish you. That being said, I don't know what mistakes us admins did. All that QuiteUnusual asked you was what you were doing. It seems to me that you did not know what you were doing, which I can understand considering your hospital situation. All that we wanted was to understand why you did what you did. None of us knew that you were in a serious condition.
 * Please be careful though. If you are ever in such a situation where you feel tempted to have a meltdown, my advice would be to take a short wikibreak (that is, a break from this site). Trust me, it does wonders. Some mistakes (such as these) can be reversed, others are harder to, and I don't want you in a situation where you make a meltdown with irreversible consequences - that'd be bad for all of us. Contrary to what you may think, none of us like blocking users for any reason. We had no intention to bully anyone. I hope this is clear to you. Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 09:22, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * But you did bully from my perspective - please admit it - its plain for all to see in the above discussion. In addition, I think QuiteUnusual's actions were carried out without my receipt of any of his concerns. Maybe its delays in the e-mail system - and we got our wires crossed???? marz (discuss • contribs) 09:26, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, I don't understand how I bullied anyone - all I did was revoke your talk page access which I had to because you were making unwanted comments on the talk page. It wasn't something that I wanted to do, but I just didn't have a choice. And once you gave an explanation, I allowed you to edit your talk page again.
 * Also, "I think QuiteUnusual's actions were carried out without my receipt of any of his concerns" - did you send an email to QuiteUnusual? Possible that he didn't see your email, but I don't know because I can't see what you sent to him (if at all you did that). Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 09:32, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, we live in a world of huge ignorance - even in this modern age. Left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing. Loads of confusion and its poor Joe Doyle that get it all at the end of the sluice gate marz (discuss • contribs) 09:34, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, I could not parse that sentence. However, I'll ping to see what he thinks of your unblock request, with the note that you've sent him at least one email about this. Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 09:36, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I've no idea what you are referring to with your parsing hassle - is it more stuff to bring me further to the end of my tether? Please stop what you are doing to me - it upsets me greatly. Go away and annoy someone else marz (discuss • contribs) 09:41, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Why have you people come down on me like a ton of bricks? marz (discuss • contribs) 09:58, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Again, I am not questioning that you have mitigating circumstances. But what I am saying is that having such conditions does not give you a licence to do what you did - us admins need to be fair to all and are unable to consider your case any differently to another user who did the same thing you did. With the conditions you have, I would take a break if I were you. Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 10:08, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Just like a typical admin - no explicit care about and understanding of people's circumstances and an inability to relate to other people in a socially-acceptable way (in my culture). Please leave me alone and bother someone else marz (discuss • contribs) 10:11, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

This all stretches the bounds of credibility. Having had a major operation and anaesthesia you decided to logon to Wikibooks, delete lots of content intending to refactor a book and when asked to explain yourself claim it was all done without meaning to? Despite your illness you then found the time and energy to argue with three admins here, take your campaign to Wikipedia getting a block there, email serveral users and the foundation? Then claim that your campaign against various editors here is acceptable but them trying to stop you damaging the contents here is bullying? You are the one engaging in bullying. I'm not interested if you are telling the truth about why this happened, just in preventing further disruption. To that end I strongly suggest you desist from any further harassment and stop trying to argue you are in the right because everyone can see you are the one causing the problem. When the block expires if you can return to productive editing you'll be welcome. QuiteUnusual (discuss • contribs) 16:03, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

 * I give up and will never edit on wikibooks ever again - please delete my name and details from all the WikiBooks pages I composed - the two books are out of date anyway and need substantial revision, but I'll leave that up to you marz (discuss • contribs) 23:19, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * How can I upload the hospital invoice for my procedure to demonstrate to you that what I wrote does not stretch the bounds of any person's credibility? I find that I am now shaking all over having re-read what you wrote marz (discuss • contribs) 23:56, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Solved this issue - see c:File:EvidenceThatQuiteUnusualsConclusionsAreErroneous.jpg marz (discuss • contribs) 06:30, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
 * To note that I deleted an invoice in the name of the user from a private hospital in Victoria, Australia. It was deleted as being out of scope, though would be visible by QuiteUnusual with their steward rights. I have given direction to the user about the scope of Commons. Billinghurst (discuss • contribs) 07:55, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Billinghurst - sorry for giving you work to do. It resulted coz of my ignorance about the scope of Commons. But i could find no other way of uploading on wikibooks. Sorry, again. It won't happen again. I try every day to be a decent person to everyone. marz (discuss • contribs) 08:04, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Note that numerous figures, images and graphs uploaded by marz have the text "Reproduced with permission from Heggie JCP, Liddell NA & Maher KP, 2001, Applied Imaging Technology, 4th Edition" associated with them. I advise that the copyright for these figures has now become questionable because the permission to reproduce has now been revoked. marz 194.193.147.246 (discuss) 05:28, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

User:Avenue of Covina

Hello and welcome to my userpage. You may know me from the english Wikipedia as The Helper S or on Commons as Covinan. Please, if you want to find out about me, please see my Wikipedia page. Note that here at Wikibooks, I basically will work solely on Wikijunior, but if I find anything interesting on the regular area of Wikibooks, I'll work on it, too. There won't be a current new section like I have on Wikipedia and Commons, but you can still read on what I've done at the other wikis.

I'm active occasionally here, as my main job is at the english Wikipedia but once in a while I'll look around Wikibooks and Wikijunior, though. Right now, I'm on Christmas break, so now I got loads of time!

To shorten things down, like on my english wikipedia page, you can call me the long and register name, or call me the easier acronym (I pride myself in an acronym on Wikipedia sometimes as THS) which is AOC.

Right now, I'm working on the Wikijunior Bugs project, as well as others in the Wikijunior category.

I've been taking a wikibreak for a long duration of time due to the calling of my unplugged life, so don't be surprised if it seems I'm dead on here, Wikipedia, and Commons. I aim at checking up on Wikibooks and Wikijunior around every month to two months.

Spanish/Exercises/Preterite vs. Imperfect - Solutions

Hoy no fue muy bien. Primero, yo me desperté tarde. Luego, cuando preparaba el desayuno, la tostadora se quemó. Pude apagar el fuego, pero cuando lo hice, ya era la hora para salir. Aunque no había comido, salí de la casa y conduje a la oficina.

Cuando yo llegué, ninguno de mis documentos importantes estaba en mi escritorio. ¡Un ladrón había robado la oficina durante la noche! Alguien llamó a la policía, y cuando ellos llegaron, yo les dije todo. ¡Que lástima!

Just have to say I so admire the Wikijunior pages compared to some stuff on here. Also I mentioned to User:Urbane_User yesterday I run AWB on a bot account so if I can help with categorisation or cleanup etc I happily will - regards -- Herby talk thyme 08:08, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi
As I have been in touch with you about some bits I hope you won't mind me approaching you about something specific. While vandalism is not the issue here that it is on Wikipedia we do still have a level of vandalism that needs tackling often by Admins as there are fewer users here than Wikipedia. One of the tools that allows us to tackle vandals more easily is Checkuser. This means that we can see the IP address a registered user has vandalised from and see if this may have happened before (it often has). To get these rights required 25 affirmative votes which on a small wiki is not easy. A hard working Admin is looking for just two more votes to get this. If you would like to look at this then go here Requests_for_adminship and you are welcome to vote. I must stress that you are under no pressure at all to do so and if you decide not to that is fine. I do hope you do not mind me contacting you in this way - thanks and regards -- Herby talk thyme 18:07, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Wikijunior Bugs
Avenue of Covina,

I would like to propose an alternate layout for the wikijunior bugs page. As you are one of the named authors, i have come to you directly to see what you think of the idea. I have made a mock-up of the proposed layout on my personal sandbox which can be accessed by clicking this link or through my user page. All of the existing articles and other pages will remain unaltered by this as the only page that will change will be the main bugs page, if it is accepted that is.

I have proposed this new design to increase efficiency and reduce the amount of time that is spent moving articles from the stub list into the developing articles list and so on...

Please take a look and tell me what you think.

Regards, Urbane User

Thanks
Thanks for the support re: the bugs page. I was unsure whether or not my changes would be to the liking of other editors and im glad that the changes are beneficial.

Thanks again. Urbane User (Talk)   (Contributions)  10:20, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Wikijunior Study
Hello, Avenue of Covina, I read the Wikijunior Bug. I'm very impressed and interested to know more about your experience related to this particular book project (Wikijunior Bug) I'm current a doctoral student at Indiana University. My advisor and I, we are starting a Wikibook study regarding to online authors' beliefs and perceptions (motivation to write a Wikibook, beliefs about the knowledge of the topic, previous experience and success in writing a Wikibook, and ability to help coordinate the Wikibook project and interact with other authors). We would love to invite you to participate in this study. Your input to this study will be greatly appreciated. If you agree to participate, please leave me a message or send me an email. (My email is cl17@indiana.edu.) We'll schedule a one hour interview with you at your convenience by phone or by email (email interview). Thank you very much again. Inkeys

Hello, Avenue of Covina. I'm writing to tell you that I've begun contributing to the Wikijunior Bugs project. I was wondering if you were still working on it. I've updated the millipede page and plan on working on and cleaning up other articles.

Thanks,

 * Hi Wes, lately I've been busy with many other things so I only check up on Wikibooks in general about every month or two months. I'm glad to hear that you've help contribute to the Wikijunior Bugs! Maybe in time, I might have enough free time to contribute at least a page or two but we'll see what the future holds.
