Template:Disputed research
Hi Samwilson! I noticed your edits on Template:Disputed research. I presume that the template itself is not disputed. Therefore, I added tags for the category. Let me know if you have any questions. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 14:25, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I think I almost thought of that when I edited it :-) but was really just there to correct the message template parameter, in passing as it were. I don't really have any use for that template! Thanks for fixing it up. — Sam Wilson ( Talk • Contribs ) … 23:36, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

User entry box in Biographies
Thanks for creating this, a great idea. However, we are classifying biographies in three ways, based on experience as to how these are created. Most bios are actually moved from somewhere else, having been found "floating," so to speak. If they are going to be created in place, they should be created as subpages. of the three biography subpages (or elsewhere as subpages of resources, as, say, a resource on physics might include a biography of a physicist).

So I moved a modified form of your box to the subpages, where it now displays above the list of biographies in the category. There are no pages in the "collaborative category," it was created to set up the possibility....

Thanks again. --Abd (discuss • contribs) 18:47, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Good point. I should've realised that before. Thanks for fixing it up! — Sam Wilson ( Talk • Contribs ) … 23:02, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

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 Sam. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sam~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 23:42, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Initial experiences (and blogs)
I like this edit but revisionuser loads the name of the user that made the previous edit to the page. I can't find a magic word for the current user.

BTW, what did you mean by "enabling" learning blogs? Is this a module or extension? I've found learning blogs to be an interesting exercise, esp. when others comment. See User:Mu301/Learning blog. --mikeu talk 17:05, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Hm, yes you're right! I'm sorry, I should've picked that up. The trick is to do a similar link, but subst the revisionuser variable instead; this I guess means the link has to come from a template. Here's an example.
 * And, w.r.t. learning blogs: no, I just meant 'enabling' in a general sense. Blogging here is very possible at the moment, but I guess I'm excited about the possibilities of adding extra features like RSS feeds and other integrations. Wikiversity feels a bit isolated sometimes, and it'd be nice to make it easier to send tentacles out into the wider web. :-) I've tinkered with a tool for producing RSS feeds based on categories and microformats; might get it up on toolserver one of these days. Certainly I think there's more scope for encouraging blogging.
 * — Sam Wilson ( Talk • Contribs ) … 22:07, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I figured it out! The subst trick works, but one has to bamboozle it with an empty tag. Does it work now for you? — Sam Wilson ( Talk • Contribs ) … 22:20, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

 * It gives me an edit box with in the subject. "Show preview" then adds my username above the editable subject. It saves correctly. The only downside is that someone might change the subject as it looks odd if you don't know what it does. I'd day this work if we can preload a comment that says explaining why it is there. --mikeu talk 23:58, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

 * That can be done using the  parameter, which should point to a page that contains the text that we want to display above the editing box. See mw:Extension:InputBox. — Sam Wilson ( Talk • Contribs ) … 01:38, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Blogging on a wiki
Thanks for your note on my talk page. Have you ever seen the system for blogging that was developed at Wikia? JWSchmidt (discuss • contribs) 22:49, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

 * No, but that sounds very interesting, thanks for pointing it out. It's good that other wikis are doing it. There's probably not much chance of a blogging extension being installed on Wikiversity, but it seems like we can get reasonably close with some clever templates and a bit of user training. I'm thinking of doing some work on the blog template to make it more of a general blog-front-page template for people to use on their user pages (or User:Username/Blog subpage perhaps); what do you think? — Sam Wilson ( Talk • Contribs ) … 02:57, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Learning resource

Redirecting as out-of-date?
The information on this page originated at a time when nobody had yet begun to draw together a real descriptive taxonomy of what contributors on Wikiversity had really been producing in the way of resources. Such a catalogue or taxonomy is now available at Help:Resource types. It is suggested that this page should be redirected to Help:Resource types. I can't see anything worth keeping from this page - but perhaps someone could suggest sections to be moved with the redirect? --McCormack 09:54, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * McCormack: I disagree with you completely. Help:Resource types is a totally different page. Just make a link to your new page from this one.--JWSchmidt 16:54, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * "A totally different page" - let's see. (1) Both this page and Help:Resource types start off by comparing with other Wikimedia projects and their resource types, but Help:Resource types does so in more detail. (2) Both this page and Help:Resource types then list types of resources, but this page only has 3 rather thinly defined types. There are some portal links on this page which may need to be added to Help:Resource types during a merger/redirect. (3) Both this page and Help:Resource types contain links to where resource types can be found, but Help:Resource types uses the category system and is more extensive. Assuming even the best of good faith, I cannot see why someone would say "totally different". Perhaps you could support your view with more detail about what makes this page different? Then we could move forward and identify material for merging. --McCormack 09:29, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

This page is also in the wrong namespace. It should be in Help or Wikiversity. --McCormack 09:45, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Restrictiveness
The restriction of this page to 3 resource types, and the way this is worded, seems to me to place unwarranted restrictions on the development of Wikiversity. Redirecting to Help:Resource types. If there is material here which is worth preserving, please fish it out of the history and add a section to Help:Resource types. --McCormack 09:45, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

 * This page is a learning project. It is not an attempt to list every possible type of learning resource. This page encourages participants to create learning resources and catalog them at portal pages so that other Wikiversity users can find them. This page emphasizes the main types of learning resources and can be linked to more specific types, as needed. --JWSchmidt 16:45, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Meaning in opening
"Learning resource means educational content in general terms. Wikiversity has many types of learning resources not available at other Wikimedia Foundation wiki projects (see Wikimedia and What Wikiversity is not). Wikiversity learning resources do not include encyclopedia articles, textbooks, or source texts, for example."

In this opening paragraph, sentence C doesn't logically support sentence B.

- Logic B: Wikiversity has … LR … not available (elsewhere) - Logic C: Wikiversity LR … not include (available elsewhere).

Should it say: Wikiversity has many types of doesn't include all of the learning resources not available at other Wikimedia Foundation wiki projects (see: What_Wikiversity_is_not). Wikiversity learning resources do not include encyclopedia articles, textbooks, or source texts, for example. Brett Johnston (discuss • contribs) 03:38, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Yes, the new opening is better. Thanks! -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 17:02, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi Ariel (is that right?), thanks so much for getting Collective learning going. There's a summary of the meeting at Meetings/Learning on Wikiversity and also a full log. Talk to you soon.. Cormaggio talk 09:57, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

 * You're more than welcome. :-) I'm not sure what came of the Collective learning page - to be honest, I've found it very hard to generate and sustain momentum behind describing and applying learning models on Wikiversity. I'm just finishing off my thesis now - in which I make reference to this initiative - perhaps I'll return to it when I'm not so consumed by the thesis-writing. ;-) Cormaggio talk 15:05, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

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 Archimedes. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Archimedes~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 23:28, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

User:Kaihsu/nutrition facts

Moved from Wikia: Nutrition Facts; once reported in Postbloggery. – Kaihsu 14:32, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

“Nutrition Facts” for Postdocs
compiled 2006-09-02, Kaihsu Tai; licensed cc-by-sa-uk-2.0 (and GFDL of course)

Pay example:

Typical entry-level postdoc: 26 401 GBP/a Oxford pay scale, new grade 7, step 3 (pay spine 31) http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/ps/hera/structure.shtml

Assuming 48 weeks/a, 40 h/week gives 1920 h/a, 13.75 GBP/h 50 h/week gives 2400 h/a, 11.00 GBP/h 60 h/week gives 2880 h/a, 9.17 GBP/h

Expectations:

“The median for foreign postdocs was $37,000 — 8% less than the $40,000 received by US citizens. But the foreign scientists said that they worked 52 hours a week — two hours more than the Americans. And international postdocs said that they had produced almost 30% more peer-reviewed, published articles than their American counterparts.” – Rex Dalton (2005-03-24) US undervalues foreign researchers, survey reveals. Nature 434:426 http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/434426b

“Those who stick with a career in science do so because, despite the relatively poor pay, long hours and lack of security, it is all we want to do.” – Georgia Chenevix-Trench (2006-05) What makes a good PhD student? Nature 441:252 http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nj7090-252b

(The same author, from Australia, provides the following on her website.) Twenty Point Guide for PhD students (and post-docs): “Work hard. Don’t think you can get away with a 38-hour week. You will need to work long days all week, and for part of most weekends. That gets you to closer to a 50–60 hour week, which is what you need if you want a successful career in academia (or indeed in any professional career). If research is your passion, this is actually easy to do, and if it isn’t your passion, then you are probably in the wrong field. You should be going to work because you want to, not because you have to. Of course, ultimately, the number of hours doesn’t matter – the only thing that matters is productivity, but unless you are a genius, and very organized, and very lucky, you will need to work this hard to get out enough good papers to make a good start in a scientific career. A three year stipend might seem like a long time at the start of a PhD but three years goes very, very fast and it might be difficult or impossible (depending on its source) to get an extension into a 4th year. The people who go home with a full briefcase of work to do at home are the ones most likely to succeed. Note who around you does this – aren’t they the ones who have ‘made’ it? The extra hours are the cause, not consequence of success!” http://www.qimr.edu.au/research/labs/georgiat/Guideforphds.doc

Update: 2009-04-09
The pay/price information (above) plus things like grant acceptance rate and immigration hurdles should be combined to create information for market choice.

User:Jtneill/Wikiversity/Introduction

This introduction to Wikiversity is mainly written for university colleagues unfamiliar with Wikiversity, its possibilities, and its pros and cons for teaching, research, and service. Category:Wikiversity

Wikiversity as a free host
Wikiversity can function as a free host for a wide range and variety of teaching, learning, research, and outreach/service materials at any educational level. There are no upload limits or time-contraints.

Wikiversity as a champion of the open educational resources movement
Currently big publishing houses are pitted against the open educational resources movement, with both arguably in ascendency. Wikiversity offers a platform for free and open hosting of materials which can be used and reused by anyone. Such an approach to knowledge storing, sharing, and development fits the visions for emancipatory education far better than the capitalisation and commercialism of humanity's knowledge by large, commercial publishing houses.

Collegeality and collaboration
Wikiversity provides a platform for global collegeality. Connections and collaborations can be cross-institution, cross-discipline, cross-educational level, cross-language, and cross-cultural.

Scalability
Wikiversity is a sister project to Wikipedia (both supported by the Wikimedia Foundation), and thus is massively scalable, and closely integratable with not only Wikipedia content, but also Wikibooks (free textbooks), Wikisource (original, freely available texts), Wikicommons (for images, movies, etc.), Wikiquotes (quotes), and Wiktionary (dictionary). This makes it relatively easy to quickly build resources based on already existing freely available and reusable content.

Computed Tomography

>Brain Imaging >Neurosociety Media Centre

Computed Tomography uses X-rays to look inside the body; so it cannot examine anything smaller than 2mm. Magnetic Resonance Imaging, on the other hand, creates images from the magnetic behaviour of hydrogen protons in brain tissue, and so can show much more detail (down to around 1mm). These imaging methods are mainly used to investigate anatomical structures and the processes associated with disease. CT scans are not used to examine the dynamic functioning of the brain. More on the history and current applications can be found here.

These imaging methods are mainly used to investigate anatomical structures and the processes associated with disease, not the dynamic functioning of the brain.

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), on the other hand, is a brain research method which scientists use to deduce how the brain operates. Because oxygenated haemoglobin and deoxygenated haemoglobin have different magnetic properties, they look very different in this type of scan. Using this method, scientists can therefore see when and where there is increased blood flow to different parts of the brain. Most scientists believe this increased blood flow is a sign of increased brain activity. The debate about what this means is just one of the interesting aspects of fMRI.

Positron Emission Tomography

>Brain Imaging >Neurosociety Media Centre

Single-Photon Emission Computer Tomography (SPECT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) use radioactive tracers which are taken up where blood flow is greater. SPECT and PET therefore provide images of blood flow (again, considered a sign of greater brain activity) in different parts of the brain. However, they do not provide as much anatomical detail as MRI or CT scans.

Scientists can choose what to look at by selecting a tracer that seeks out a particular set of receptors in the brain. For example, they can use I-benzamide, which likes to bind with D2 dopamine receptors, to gain a picture of the density of dopamine receptors, information which is useful in Parkinson's. Positron Emission Tomography can also be used for these receptor binding studies, and has been used to investigate D2 dopamine receptors, benzodiazepine recepts, seratonin receptors and opiate receptors.

Electroencephalography

>Brain Imaging >Neurosociety Media Centre

Electroencephalography (EEG) measures the electrical activity of the cerebral cortex at the time of the scan. The measurements are usually taken using electrodes that are placed on the scalp. Neural activity generates electric field potentials in the brain which can be measured, these usually appear as regular rhythms at different frequencies on the EEG trace.

User talk:Orion (usurped)~enwikiversity

Request for Usurpation
Hello, Orion. A request has been made at Changing username to usurp, or "take over", your username because you have not used it to edit, and another user would like to use it to edit. w:Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations says that any unused username may be usurped if the user is given 14 days notice to object and does not do so.

If you have an email set in your preferences, you should be getting an email from a bureaucrat explaining how to consent or object to this process.

If you do not object to being renamed to a new username in order for another user to utilize the name you currently have, please log in and post a reply here saying so (you may also tell us what username you would like to be renamed to, or we will provide you with a generic one).

If you do nothing : the request will be filled after 14 days, and your account will be moved to a generic username. You may request that it be moved to a new username of your choice at any time.

If you object to being renamed : please log in and make an edit. You may make an edit here saying "No", you may make an edit to blank this page, or any other edit you like; making any edit at all prevents your username from being usurped, because users with edits cannot have their usernames usurped.

Please note that even if your current username is usurped, you can still edit and your data will not be lost; your preferences, watchlist, and other user settings will be transferred to a new username.

Thank you for your time.
