What about a namespace "Research:"
Hello, for your information we're now voting on fr.v about the "Research:" namespace creation, to separate Portal:Research and the non original articles. JackPotte 19:14, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Will this decision affect the English WV? Devourer09  ( t · c ) 02:21, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
 * No, not unless we are influenced by it, i.e., discuss it and based a decision of our own upon it. --Abd 02:51, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

administrating a wikiversity page
--Cjr100B 17:47, 10 May 2011 (UTC) Hi -

I am trying to use wikiversity as a major project in course at the University of California, Santa Cruz. I was wondering if there was any way that I (the teaching assistant) and the professor could be administrators of our wikiversity page? Would anyone know anything about this?

Thanks,

Courtney

 * You already are. I can assure you that any of the custodians will help you with whatever you need (I am not a custodian).
 * I think that a big problem we face is that we need to be able to implement some vehicle for contributor evaluation. This can be done awkwardly using the tools that are designed to resolve conflict (which you find under the "view history" tab).  If you think of it as "page control" then control needs to be "lowered" to the section level so that evaluations can focus there (as well as conflict resolution).

 * Also there is a tool called mobwrite which is what allows simultaneous editing of google doc pages which should be implemented if students are likely to step on each other (at the section level).

 * If you have any input on evaluation strategies, please share it.--John[[Image:bessa66.png|12px]]Bessatalk 19:13, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

 * I could certainly help if you needed any specialized tools. As would any of the other custodians.  Most of us who read the colloquium are pretty knowledgeable, and we would be glad to help.  To start a new page for your course go to the corresponding page name that you would like, which initially may not exist and start editing.  Thenub314 22:57, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
 * More advice might depend on what you mean when you say "administrators of our wikiversity page"? What is it you want to do, specifically? There are a number of possibilities.... --Abd 01:30, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

 * I think Talk:Comparative law and justice has some interesting information in the discussion on that page relating to this topic. Perhaps this question should be answered in the FAQs if there is a clear answer. If there is not a clear answer then I think that a discussion on policy or something should happen. Devourer09  ( t · c ) 22:52, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi, this is a question I considered when in a similar positionas regards SPIR608 Political Simulations and Gaming. In the end I found I did not need any special custodian/administrative access. Also, I would like to have some feedback as regards evaluation. Please see Wiki in the lecture room which is the feedback on the above mentioned course which I gave at the WikimediaUK AGM. I am really keen to see if we can develop some generalisable evaluation so that we can start to collate feedback from various courses to get a clearer understanding of our effectiveness.Leutha 23:19, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Languages other than English on the English WV
This page and this page are in Dutch and intended for a Dutch audience I believe. Shouldn't these pages be moved to beta? There isn't a Dutch language WV yet but I think it says on the beta main page that it acts as an incubator for languages which do not have their own language yet. I'm just wanting to confirm this. The people contributing to those pages may not be aware of this. Devourer09 ( t · c ) 20:16, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
 * This is complicated, which is why I haven't addressed it. Design a Small Solar Vehicle doesn't exist. That's kind of a no-no, my opinion, subpages in mainspace with no mainspace page. BlogGSC definitely doesn't belong where it is. There is a page, Topic:Engineering Education/Engineering Experience 4: Design a Small Solar Vehicle, which lists the working groups. We have a page, Topic:Engineering Education/Engineering Experience 4: Design a Small Solar Vehicle/Engineering Experience 4: Design a Small Solar Vehicle, with content different from the page above it, in spite of the redundant name. In other words, folks, we have some newbies flopping about. Let's help them.

 * From the list of the teams, some of them are working in English. This may belong here after all, it's an international educational project. Looks great, in fact. What should be here, in mainspace, is a page covering the project. Subpages will exist for teams, and those subpages can be in any language; I suggest that the teams appoint a team leader, ideally someone with good English reading comprehension, to function as a quasi-administrator for the team's page. We will then, mostly, leave those pages alone, unless there is an obvious problem. I'd also recommend that an overall project coordinator be appointed, to interface with the Wikiversity community. A little structure could make this all very simple. No rush, as far as I can see, but it will be helpful if a page structure is determined, what they've done is a bit chaotic.

 * Just to stuff it somewhere, see a Commons gallery of images for this project. From the global contributions, this user seems to write in English and Dutch. I've welcomed the user and will suggest the user look here. Thanks for bringing this up, Devourer09. --Abd 21:23, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem. I was just looking through the recent changes and noticed it. Devourer09  ( t · c ) 02:53, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Political Science: open government
Note: it changed to this: https://groups.google.com/group/opengovinitiative -- google, inc is getting seriously messed-up.

Here is a "list server" discussion on open, or "information transparent," government which is very interesting (to me) because it includes secrecy, which (to me) may explain a lot. I think that we should make a home for open government for at least the English-speaking World. --JohnBessatalk 19:01, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The more I think about this, the more important it seems -- in the scope of Wv. I am concluding that common law (en.law), what we operate under, is actually a whole lot better than oligarchy (roman law) as, at least, it has some relevance to society even if it falls short of democracy most of the time.  Law affects us, especially in so-called IP (transformation and fair use, which are different), and politics should be important to us because I believe that we can potentially "make a difference" because our SEO is so high.  We are not activist, but we can still promote openness, which is on the wiki agenda.--John[[Image:bessa66.png|12px]]Bessatalk 15:17, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Perhaps a learning project should be made on the benefits of open policy making. Also, is our SEO really that high? I don't usually see any Wikiversity pages in Google search results when I'm looking for things. Also, when I click on your link it just redirects me to groups.google.com Devourer09  ( t · c ) 22:44, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
 * My pages come up first. --John[[Image:bessa66.png|12px]]Bessatalk 17:56, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Correction, a t&a corporation is using my language, and as you can expect...

WP as a threatening place
I answered the banner ad WMF had up for a while, and posted this to the page: "I think that if anyone really exposes the problem, then that person will become attacked by the problem, such as with corporate whistleblowing." A negative Gestalt. Here is the material that I collected that I am using to give clues as to why the WP, as a microcosm of civilization, is so messed up. --JohnBessatalk 18:45, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
 * That first link links to a page that doesn't exist. Also, I don't think any of the WMF projects need the article the in front of them (e.g. the Wikipedia). So what you're trying to say that WP as a whole is hostile towards WV? I'm just trying to understand. I will fight for the rights of anyone who is being unjustly attacked. Thanks. :) Devourer09  ( t · c ) 21:15, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

 * I fixed the link, check it again. --Abd 21:48, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
 * By writing "the Wikipedia," John exposes himself as an outsider, not knowing the insider language and colloquial usage. He does this in other ways; for example, the post on the strategy wiki is signed. But that's a mainspace page on that wiki, personal comments would be on the Talk page. Now, what will happen as a result will show how "outsiders" are treated. Devourer09, your comment exposes you as a warrior for "fairness," which is, again, likely to make you be seen as an outsider. People who "fight for the rights" of users are seen as naive or as abusive troublemakers themselves. "Battleground mentality," it will be called.
 * The Wikipedia culture rejects outsider comment, if it's lengthy. It does not act to place comment into an accommodating structure, the core community does not believe that outsiders could possibly know more than them, no matter what prior outside expertise they bring. That "cabal" is highly conservative and structurally resistant to new ideas and change. A member of it who accepts new ideas, or works for change, is likely to be ostracized.
 * (Jimbo used the term "administrative cabal" when he created it, but use the term on Wikipedia and you are immediately pegged as a clueless outsider, since "There is no cabal", which is the operating cabal position, the balancing essay, "There is a cabal" being diluted in expression and deprecated in practice. You can be banned for claiming there is a cabal, but people have userboxes making fun of cabals, and you can ridicule the very idea of a cabal, and I've never seen anyone even be trout-slapped for it.)
 * All this could easily be documented, by the way.
 * Control of language is control of culture. --Abd 22:07, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I am pretty certain that the control is through perversion of meaning -- misinformation, which the WP excels at.--John[[Image:bessa66.png|12px]]Bessatalk 23:24, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

 * (edit conflict) I believe that there is a place at Wikiversity for Wiki studies. A problem with this in the past is that such studies have often focused in individual editors or sometimes cliques as if they were "the problem." To my mind, that attitude is part of the problem! No, the problem is structural, either dysfunctional structure or the lack of necessary structure. The Wikipedia governance model, as it developed, is a setup for conflict and for failure to realize the fundamental mission of neutrality. It worked well enough to resemble success, but any subject matter expert who became involved in Wikipedia, and who didn't click with the culture and the active administrative core, ran into the dark side of it. It's easy to blame this or that person or faction, or, on the other hand, the expert or other new editor who "didn't get it." Really, if anything is to blame, it's the structure.
 * I can make a case that the method of electing administrators, and ArbComm (it's a similar method) intrinsically would be likely to lead to the way that the administrative community operates, over time, and I can predict that it will get worse, if nothing shifts.
 * It's been thought that "neutrality" is an absolute, that text is either neutral or it isn't. That's defective analysis. Neutrality is relative, and we have a measure of neutrality. If everyone, and especially those familiar with a topic, agree that text is neutral, this is the best we can do. Unless they then all agree that something else is better. So a possible standard for neutrality would be the level of consensus that text enjoys. However, if a point of view is blocked and banned, in effect, by banning those familiar with it, the process breaks down, and "neutrality" becomes the opinion of a faction (which might be in the majority.) If neutrality is fundamental policy, as it is, then the goal should always be an increase in consensus, not satisfaction with some operational victory for some faction's opinion about neutrality.

 * Wikipedia, however, prohibited discussion of the topics! Experts will typically want to discuss the topic! Wikiversity is, to my mind, a possible solution, because original research and discussion of topics are allowed here, as would be expected of an educational activity. We do have a neutrality policy, as well, but there is no single page to fight over, as there often is at Wikipedia. We can go for "complete" here, and "balance" has to do, here, with overall presentation, not with each individual page. What if, for a practical suggestion, when editors violate article Talk page guidelines by discussing the topic, they were referred to Wikiversity? This is something we can really do, it's practical, and it will help develop Wikiversity, and it will help Wikipedia as well. Instead of people who want to discuss running into a brick wall, they will be shown and open door to a place where discussion can be quite useful. And the people who discuss a topic here can still take what they come up with back to Wikipedia, with, now, a more mature point of view.

 * John, I hope you will lead or participate in Wiki studies here. Please understand that this must be done in a way that carefully avoids attacking anyone. I'm currently blocked on Wikipedia, under a topic ban which I'm ignoring, though I'm not site-banned, not yet. I'm documenting what I've been doing and the administrative and community response, precisely to develop material for study, it is not being done to "expose" anyone, though in one case it may be exposing certain policy violations (and that's being made clear by the WP community, some who noticed my work). In my view, it is not necessary for administrators to be perfect, they can make mistakes, and none should be condemned for them, though a community may want to see that the mistakes are not repeated. Reform of Wikipedia is not our goal here; rather, our goal is study and learning. What can be learned from the evidence? What objective analysis is possible? What reports of subjective experience are available or can be collected?

 * In this study, we need be sensitive to objections and criticism. We need be patient and not rush things. I've found that many Wikipedians are thirsty for some kind of change, though many have also given up in despair. Highly experienced users and administrators and functionaries, even, are burning out. The system is abusive to everyone. The world-view that the system fosters in participants is one that continually creates conflict and frustration. Content is being built and improved, I have no doubt about that, but at what cost? Only because the labor of editors is considered "free" can we even think that Wikipedia is viable. As a thought experiment, if editors who edit Wikipedia, as it is, instead contributed $1 per hour of the work that they put in, subject matter experts could be hired to write the articles and an editorial staff could be hired to review it, the quality would be more uniformly better. The system is horrifically inefficient, except in the "outer reaches," where the original wiki vision is still operating, because hardly anyone pays attention to the involved pages. And all those "outer reaches" pages are unstable, because they have not been reworked to meet guidelines as to sourcing and notability.

 * I note this to bring the situation into focus, not to suggest a solution. I gave up on Wikipedia when I discovered that I could be or become very familiar with the reliable sources in a field, have a goal of neutral presentation, be very willing to compromise and work with others, and still spend months and hundreds of hours in working on the content, with very little being accomplished because of an entrenched faction. If I pursued Dispute Resolution process, the cost of engagement was high, and, bottom line, it was insane. Far easier to give up, which most real experts eventually have done.

 * That's just my story, but many have told this story. Most simply go away, and it seems that "the problem was resolved" as far as those who are left. The same with those who were blocked and banned. Wikipedia is fouling its nest.

 * So what to do about it? That's a premature question, in fact. The first stage of understanding the Wikipedia problem is to become very clear about what the reality of Wikipedia is, how it is working and how it is not working. --Abd 21:48, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Talk about a wall of text!!! Go put that on the WMF. The material that I collected was pretty much experimental to get a good picture of how this paranoia thing works (the world is out to get us so we have to retaliate in advance). --JohnBessatalk 23:18, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
 * It is "on the WMF." I.e., here. I think you may mean something else, like the strategy wiki? Look, this is open content. You can put it there if you want to! There, however, you might want to edit it down. What do they say about writers who are their own editors? --Abd 03:54, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

 * So the system is flawed. How can we identify the flaws in the system? And after we identify them we should propose solutions to fix the flaws. Is there a learning resource or project that is covering this topic? Devourer09  ( t · c ) 02:07, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Much of the system is flawed, but in the way it is flawed it dominates the normal vast majority. I put specific material below; while there is hope of signalling medication to restore the white-matter, it is not clear that that will solve the problem -- it might just empower it. Humanity has to reduce to 1 to 1/2 billion humans to become sustainable, so a great place to pull back reproduction is with the small minority that appears to be the majority because it is dominant.  Its "market" habits are such that it is the most "expensive" part of the human landscape, (equally in NYC and Haiti), so reducing this component to say 10% may have the effect of boosting sustainability so that we don't necessarily have to reduce the human population so far.  But, the overall good new appears to be that if families have one child for three generations we are down to ~1 billion humans.  Still, it seems that the dominant portion is obsessed with "carrying on the family line" as in royals, so that may ultimately result worse problems despite fewer people. I think we really need to stick with the predatory issues (that I flesh-out below), largely because the predators seem to be several steps ahead.  In other words, they have all the empirical information, though they probably cannot communicate it intelligibly, but a fantasy such as CG Jung's Archetypes.--John[[Image:bessa66.png|12px]]Bessatalk 17:23, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

 * I don't see any specific examples that you mention. Also, I'm not sure how reducing the population of the human race is relevant to WP's flawed system. If reducing the human population is a solution to fixing the flawed system at WP then it's not a realistic one and more realistic and achievable solutions should be focused on. Devourer09  ( t · c ) 00:44, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

where the discussion is
Here is were the discussion is. Nothing that we have talked about is mentioned -- they are keeping it all "positive" meaning they may largely be the predators that we have been dealing with (and I have been studying). With this and the open gov't initiative stuff (which I quit because it is an obvious namespace perversion, such as Obama's "change.gov"), I am seeing pure corporate structure, which includes "moving forward" with respect of predatory issues. Predatory is easily explained in terms of psychology and sociology (what we do), and is inherited, largely genetic, and is associated to to the failure to signal white matter growth in cases that cannot be resolved by reducing threat. My cat (who is unusually bright) has greater aesthetic feeling than many humans -- how can that be? De-evolution I think is the answer, or what I am experimentally calling "Dawkinist bio-hazard." --JohnBessatalk 15:49, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

where the threats are
I think it is pretty safe to say that the logical approach to a WP page is to put your ideas on the discussion page, to feel out the other editors to avoid edit combat. What I have found is that the "army" in place (to do whatever it is that they are trying to do) does not contribute, but reverts changes, threatens editors, and then drags them to the WP inquisitional kangaroo court where they, as inquisitors, always win (Plato). Now, if you seek to insert information that you know is correct (for instance, eye witness), it presumably contradicts some other information, and depending on the page (anarchy, libertarianism, objectivism, Ayn Rand--but not Adam Smith) you will be attacked by one of these wandering inquisitors, and they will stalk you for months saying (in this example) that eye witness is original research and hence vandalism (blue sky analogy). Commonsense dictates that you have latitude on discussion pages to introduce new ideas, but this "army" ignores this lattitude to focus hate on new ideas. They will use any excuse, and it will hold up in the kangaroo court because they use tag-team strategies (even if they don't know each other -- which suggests a "national" allegiance). They may not be able to force the critically open editor off WP, but they will probably drive him away, and anyone who witnessed their predatory activity will wonder "what do I need this abuse for?"

The component that I cite seems rag-tag and is only loosely affiliated, but recently I got "text" about missing data in a photograph from someone who actually calls himself a "censor." The evils of censorship notwithstanding, this pretty puts him in line with oligarchs, fascists -- and the WMF in line with those things. This suggests that the loosely affiliated "army" of inquisitors with its kangaroo court system is sanctioned by WMF, and that the WMF is attempting to use it to resolve its accuracy issues. Obviously the crushing of critical inquiry is going to assure inaccuracy, but a form of inaccuracy, or misconception, that is similar the "accepted lie" that we think of as history (philosophy). It is certainly in line with what we think of as oligarchy, which is easily defined in the West as Socrates, Plato, Aristotle (and student rape) and Confucianism (and official sadism) in the East, and similar homicidal elites in other places (as it is "phenomic"). I think what I am trying to say in all my policy posts is that we don't want to be affected by this nonsense, even if it is the illogical (subjective) reality (object) we have to deal with in most of daily life. But still, WP is an accurate microcosm and convenient lab, and that is why I don't mind it being broken in the way it is.--JohnBessatalk 17:21, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * So the flaw in the system would be that when discussion of a new idea is introduced on the talk page, a group of POv pushers, I suppose, adamantly resist the new idea. I can see how this is unfair if a group of people gang up to resist legitimate change to the article. They are not trying to improve the project but being selfish and fighting for their own personal petty causes. One solution to this problem though that I see is w:WP:Mediation. However, I have never personally tried using a neutral third party mediator, so I'm not sure how effective it truly is, or what other problems may cause mediation to fail. Doesn't mediation work though? Devourer09  ( t · c ) 19:28, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Devourer09, everyone would think what you are thinking until they tried to use the Mediation process--it does not exist, because there has to be willingness on both sides. The people I am talking about (if they qualify biologically as people), are not about mediation, they are predatory don't mediate. (And then there is the mediator--suppose he has an intolerant POV as typical of WP?) People who mediate usually don't even need mediators, except to show the how.  I think what is important is to let go of the misconception that people won't do what they are supposed to do, but can't do it and "save face" by saying they won't.  They are humiliated by not being able to, so they find an alternative, which is bashing such as with calling people "trolls."  When we become enlighted, we figure this out, and feel sorry for them -- but that's stupid (in my opinion); if they can't do something, they shouldn't, and we shouldn't attempt to empower them to do something they can't.  They shouldn't be threated, but as optimistic as I try to be, I get wrapped in that mindset--just like everyone else.  I should stress that work (above) that I did is presented as research, not a complaint.  I see the WP's problems as a gift, as I think we all should -- even moulton!--John[[Image:bessa66.png|12px]]Bessatalk 15:03, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The whole point of mediation is to catalyze the process of reaching w:WP:consensus. To reach consensus editors must make a good-faith effort. What you seem to be saying is that editors are not editing in good faith. I try to demonstrate good faith so I make sure I am helping the project and others will see this. If no one was assuming good faith wouldn't WP fail? Devourer09  ( t · c ) 20:24, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I think I have to say outright that you are not reading either what I wrote here, or the material that I collected. You are just answering your own questions as if we are having a conversation, but we are not.  Now that I know you are not reading this (!), I will ask this: why are you not reading this?  Is it because you will not (read it) or cannot (comprehend it).  Either way, since you are not reading it, there is no point in me trying to explain things to you. But(!) the cannot/will not issue should get your attention, but it won't because it can't.  Signing off--John[[Image:bessa66.png|12px]]Bessatalk 21:49, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Announcing our new community liaison
I’m delighted to announce that the Wikimedia Foundation has engaged Maggie Dennis (User:Moonriddengirl) to serve as our first Community Liaison. The Community Liaison role is envisioned to be a rotating assignment, filled by a new Wikimedian each year, half year or quarter. One of Maggie’s responsibilities is to begin to lay out a process for how this rotating posting would work.

Maggie has been a contributor to the projects since 2007 and is an administrator on the English Wikipedia and an OTRS volunteer. She has over 100,000 edits, including edits to 40 of the language versions of our projects. Her broad experience and knowledge made her a natural fit for this role.

This role is a response to requests from community members who have sometimes felt they didn’t know who to ask about something or weren’t sure the right person to go through to bring up a suggestion or issue. Her initial thrust will be to create systems so that every contributor to the projects has a way to reach the Foundation if they wish and to make sure that the Foundation effectively connects the right resources with people who contact us. If you aren’t sure who to call, Maggie will help you. Obviously, most community members will never need this communications channel - they’re happy editing, doing the things that make the projects great - but we want to make it as easy as possible for people to communicate with the Foundation.

The job of the liaison will have two major parts. First are standard duties that every liaison will perform which may include maintaining a FAQ about what each department does, making sure that inquiries from email or mailing lists are brought to the attention of appropriate staff members, etc. However, we also want liaisons to be free to pursue unique projects suited to their particular skill sets. Maggie will develop such projects in the coming weeks.

Maggie will be on the projects as User:Mdennis (WMF) and can be reached at mdennis (at) wikimedia.org. Her initial appointment runs for six months. I look forward to working with Maggie in this new role!

More ways to learn?
More ways to learn? Personaly, I find Wikiversity partialy unnecessary, because of the fact that I haven`t  experienced anything but ordinary articles concentrating on education on the subject. Wikisource atempted to collect as many publications as possible, Wikipedia is the known reference and Wikiquote attemped to collect as many quotes as posible, quotes being too unimportant to deserve their own articles on a general reference website. It seems as if Wikiversity is Wikipedia aimed at students and educators, thereby I don`t feel like it warrants its own webpage. I feel that there is a simple way to ameliorate my believed problem:

Encouraging interaction via specialised forums for those interested in learning with peers (as in, digital "classes")

Some digital classes that I would like to see:

Computers, meant for educating about hardware exclusively. Object Oriented Programing and specialised classes for C, Python, Adobe flash and other programing languages. Economy and digital economy. Because both are similar, they could perhaps be teached in one course? Mathematics,biology,psychology and similar things would too be interesting.

This could also help give money to Wikipedia, via charging money in order to let someone learn with a profesional teacher. What do you think about this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by The keyboard toucher (talk • contribs)  (UTC)
 * I think that if the WMF charged people for classes they would no longer be considered a Nonprofit organization. The point of Wikiversity is to be free and open so anyone can access it. By putting a price on accessing the content you limit the availability of the resource to the general public. Also, Wikiversity has more freedom than Wikipedia given it's broader scope and is therefore able to do more. You say that Wikiversity is just a rehash of Wikipedia only aimed at a different audience. This is not the case at all seeing as WV:Original research can be done here and the learn by doing model can be used. These are just a couple things that are not possible on Wikipedia. You mentioned wanting to see classes on Python. It so happens that I'm creating a learning project that will use Python and more specifically Pyjamas to design webpages and web apps. I hope to utilize Pyjamas and Google App Engine to create open source projects that participants can collaborate on and develop to help them learn web design, python programming, collaborating on an open source project and learn with others in the Wikiversity community. Devourer09  ( t · c ) 00:11, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for contribution, Devourer09. I wasn`t aware of these diferences at the moment of writing, but I would expect that those learning projects would be advertised in a somewhat different sense. When I check the main page, the projects seem to be advertised as a reference or educational material. I expected Wikiversity to be a place in which its users communicated directly to each other in a structured enviroment somewhat like a classroom. On your criticism of my suggestion of payed classes, I did not do that in the belief that this website should be more restricted, but that the Wikimedia foundation could need extra funding, and that there would be people willing to pay to get educated by a profesional educator.  All of the content would still be availible to everyone, just that some would be willing to pay someone else in order to profsionally educate, present and inform on the subject. On the other hand, this would cause criticism by people such as you, even possibly reduce the number of people visiting Wikiversity, reducing utility and collaboration. You are correct in criticising my sugestion of charging for being educated by a profesional teacher on Wikiversity. Also, may I please join in on your project/collaboration, even though I have extremely limited practical experience in programing with Python? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by The keyboard toucher (talk • contribs)   (UTC)
 * Yes of course you may join the project. I guess the project right now is located at Pyjamas, but I hope with time we can move on to more specific application development. I would really like to continue the project of CisLunarFreighter and in turn help out with Lunar Boom Town. Anyone who is interested is very welcome to join. :) On the point about projects being about communication between members I completely agree. I think what the project pages on WV are usually documentation on what the project is about and how to contribute. Beyond that there would be communication by participants in the project I presume. That is how I think of it. I didn't mean to sound too critical about your idea with people paying instructors to teach them on here. I can see how private instructors would be willing to be paid to teach people on WV and give hands on assistance but I'm not sure how the WMF could hire people to work for them to instruct people in certain topics. I feel like the WMF is there to provide the infrastructure and the legal stuff and that the content and community of these projects is created by volunteers. The willingness of volunteers to contribute is what makes Wikipedia and Wikiversity financially feasible. I'm all for giving money to the WMF to continue these amazing projects because I genuinely believe they help humanity. Devourer09  ( t · c ) 02:25, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

prose size
I love it. Could you add a column for prose size for Wikipedia articles using w:User:Shubinator/DYKcheck or w:User:Dr_pda/prosesize. John Vandenberg 03:47, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

 * ... Yes. It can be added.  Will do it tomorrow morning. I'm having slight computer issues. :( --LauraHale 04:31, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

dates
The wiki software likes ISO dates. If you change the dates to ISO, sorting of that column will work properly. I personally wouldn't include the hour:min:sec as I cant think of a reason for the added granularity. If you think we might need it, it is better to keep it. John Vandenberg 06:14, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

pictures
w:File:Kingsley Bugarin.jpg and commons:File:Louise Ellery.jpg are two files I missed the first time around looking for images. Not sure if I should bump them back in or how to do that.--LauraHale 00:16, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

I had done some work to get a list of related articles about the Paralympics that were not as Australian specific. I didn't complete the list but posting it here. If it shouldn't be anywhere, feel free to remove. --LauraHale 05:37, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

UCNISS/Women and children's sport research centre proposal

The Women and Children's Sport Research Centre is fundamentally about sharing knowledge and bringing people together. It is about making information freely available and getting as many people as possible to do that. It is about creating a community, both online and in person, who passionately believe in the importance of women and children's sport, and providing the community with tools to share their knowledge in order to help others.

Purpose
The purpose of this research centre would be:

 * To promote research into women and children's sport.
 * To increase general interest by the public in women and children's sport.
 * To document the history of women's sport in Australia, New Zealand, Oceania, Asia, Africa and Europe.
 * To document the history of children's sport and play in Australia, New Zealand, Oceania, Asia, Africa and Europe.
 * To provide researchers opportunities to explore and research women and children's sport from a variety of disciplines including history, sociology, physiology, women's health, culture, journalism, linguistics, literature, anthropology, gender studies, business and government.
 * To provide training to women and children's sport administrators in regards to using new tools such as social media in order to promote participation and spectatorship.
 * To provide women with a greater opportunity to be involved in telling the story of women's sport where they can be supported in managing issues affecting this type of research.
 * To recognise people's contributions to Wikipedia articles (and other Wikimedia Foundation projects) on women and children's sport.

Objectives for 2011/2012

 * To acquire space at the University of Canberra or the Australian Institute of Sport to host a small library of books and other resources about women's sport. The space would also be used for any visiting academics, researchers and Wikipedia women's sport contributors, University of Canberra  students and staff, and Australian Institute of Sport and Australian Sport Commission staff and researchers.
 * Provide a database of women's sport related data that would be licensed using Creative Commons.
 * Create a women's sport project on Wikipedia, with A class assessment and a task force to publish this content for offline use in areas where there is less Internet availability. (A proposal for this project has been put forward at w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Women's Sport. A staging area for this has already been set up on LauraHale's user space.)
 * Identify public domain Australian related women and children's sport related images and texts. Make this content available for use on projects like Wikipedia.
 * Periodically publish a book/magazine/online compilation about women and children's sport. The periodical would rely on content created on Wikimedia Foundation projects and elsewhere. All content would be published using Creative Commons license.
 * Create a peer assessment process articles submitted to the periodical, that is equivalent to an academic peer review, so that contributors can claim academic recognition for their work.
 * Create a portal for the Research Centre on Wikiversity, where original research and writing can be conducted for the project.

Institutional assistance
The goal by the end of 2011 would be to gain the following institutional assistance so that other longer term purposes and objectives could be attained.

University of Canberra
The following assistance is requested of the University of Canberra, specifically UCNISS to start this research centre:
 * Space for hosting a small library and resource centre.
 * Financial assistance and requests for donations in acquiring materials for the library and resource centre.
 * Assistance in getting current UCNISS students to contribute to the project purpose.

Wikimedia Australia
The following assistance is requested of Wikimedia Australia to start this research centre:
 * Set up an Australian-only equivalent to Wikimedia Commons. This would be used to host material that is out of copyright in Australia, and protect it from falling into restrictive copyrights in other jurisdictions.
 * Host a wiki for the women's sport project that could be used to host a periodic publication, and assist in setting up an equivalent of academic peer review process for work submitted to that publication.
 * Assist Australian Wikipedians in getting press passes so that they can take pictures for publishing on Commons and the Australian Commons, and so that contributors can create women and children's sport for Wikinews and other Wikimedia Foundation projects, as well as the periodic publication of the research centre.
 * Assist in getting images, video and other Australian content related to women and children's sport released using a Creative Commons license uploaded to Commons and WikiSource.

More about the periodic publications
One of the goals of this research centre would be to publish one to three magazines/books about women and children's sport. These books would be focused around a central theme, such as a country like Samoa or a sport like netball. These books would be published in conjunction with UCNISS, the University of Canberra and Wikimedia Australia. When compiled, they would be edited by a sport academic in that field and a major industry participant. The book would then be given an ISBN number and freely distributed to public and school libraries.

The magazines/books would be subjected to a selective editorial and review process. All submissions to the publication would be included online however, with a clear indication of what has been reviewed, edited and selected for print. One of the major goals would be to include Wikipedia content and supplement this with other content. The magazines/books would seek out content such as:

 * Wikipedia articles around the topic area. These articles would have to be B class, A class, Good Article class or be Featured content.*
 * Original research about the topic.**
 * Interviews with people involved with the topic, such as top level athletes, sport administrators, academics, youth athletic teams.
 * Glossary projects similar to wikt:Appendix:Olympic sports.
 * Sport dictionaries.
 * Pictures released using an applicable Creative Commons copyright license, or in the public domain.
 * Book, movies, documentaries, radio programs, educational resources, and other media reviews.

 * * Wikipedia content would need to be high quality. Because of issues surrounding sourcing of certain topics and Wikipedia's policy of not allowing original research, it could be a problem to demand that all Wikipedia content be GA or Featured.  Thus, the goal would be to have a well researched article that covers the topic as best as it could despite the lack of available sourcing.  This can be done with B articles but it may not allow an article to be brought up to GA standards.  To help address this issue, all Wikipedia included content would be read over by an industry professional and an academic before being published in the publication. The article would undergo a review and revisions may be required of an article.

 * Wikipedia content identified for inclusion in the the books/magazine would fall under the purview of a special task force run by the Women's sport wikiproject that is currently being developed. Revisions that were included as part of print projects would be clearly identified.  The project would identify who external reviewers were for articles for inclusion.  It would also handle how people desire to be credited. The task force would help provide contributors with access to institutional tools that may be available through UCNISS and organisations that UCNISS has connections to.  This could include helping contributors get access to materials at the research centre's library, at the University of Canberra library and National Sport Information Centre.

 * ** Space would be created on Wikiversity to help facilitate conducting original research for inclusion in this project. This content would be linked on the centre's wiki and on the Wikiproject page.

More about the library
The purpose of the library is to provide an open space learning centre with access to books, journals, government documents, brochures and other historical materials related to women's sport that is not yet made available online. It would also be a space where UC students, staff, Australian Institute of Sport staff and students, Australian Sport Commission staff and visiting scholars (and Wikipedians) could access any electronic materials that the University of Canberra has related to women's sport.

The following content would be of high importance to be included in the library:
 * International Olympic Committee documents that relate to women's sport.
 * National Olympic Committees documents that relate to the development of Olympic sport in a country.
 * United Nations reports that relate to women and children's sport, physical activity and play.
 * Documents from state and national sporting bodies that pertain to their history, funding and organisation as it pertains to women's sport.
 * Books specifically about women and children's sport, women's physical activity.
 * General sport history books that provide coverage of women's sport.
 * Children, teen and adult fiction that feature female athletes.
 * Movies, documentaries and television shows that feature women's sport.

It might be desirable to have this library on campus at the University of Canberra or to try put it on campus at the Australian Institute of Sport, as a separate space run at the women's sport centre affiliated with the University of Canberra. Both organisations have resources to help seed such a library.

Opportunities
Developing incentives and rewards for academic contributions supporting Wikipedia articles and other high use information spaces, could establish a publishing incentive model that counteracts the concerns some academics have regarding ERA lists heavily influencing research priorities and academic outputs away from community engagement initiatives - such as Wikipedia editors and free and open access publishers.

For example, some Wikipedia articles struggle to find reputable sources to support the article, often compelling the editors to source information in closed and restricted journals, or to use less reputable sources. This lack of openly accessible, reputable information is an opportunity for researchers who are able to publish in open access outlets, as their work becomes more easily cited in Wikipedia articles. Their citation ratings can be shown to increase with such exposure, impacting positively on their formal academic reputation.

Similarly, if academic recognition can be given to Wikipedia editors who successfully get an article passed featured review, the academic recognition that this project aims to give will incentivise Wikipedia editing in the academic community, leading to wider realisation of the opportunities offered by open practice and publication.

Excerpts

 * The broad sweep of [Peter] Rayner's academic and cultural interests was a powerful influence on the young engineer, who says his mentor's insistence on problem solving over "hand-waving, headline-grabbing rubbish" encouraged him to think of innovative and practical applications for Bayes' work. It was over morning coffee with Rayner and other graduate students, says Lynch, that he first considered applying the 250-year-old theorem to the task of training computers to recognize patterns of meaning.

 * Susan Dumais, senior researcher of adaptive systems and interaction for Microsoft, notes that a Web surfer who types printer into a search engine or help system is probably not seeking information on writing code for printer-driver software - even if the word appears 100 times in such a document, yielding a strong keyword match. The average person is probably looking for information on setting up a printer, trying to figure out why a printer isn't working, or looking for a good price on equipment. The prior knowledge of what most users are searching for can be factored into Bayesian information-retrieval strategies. The ability of Bayes nets to snare relationships among words that elude keyword-matching schemes "points to the rich way that human discourse is generated," Dumais observes, "out of words not said and all the finely shaded ways of saying things."

 * Lynch sees the marriage of Bayes' ideas and modern processing power as characteristic of a new, more mature phase of technology - an era in which humanity will no longer believe it's standing at the center of the universe. "Rules-based, Boolean computing assumes that we know best how to solve a problem," he says. "My background comes completely the other way. The problem tells you how to solve the problem. That's what the next generation of computing is going to be about: listening to the world."

 * Bayesian probability In the 1980s, there was a dramatic growth in research and applications of Bayesian methods, mostly attributed to the discovery of Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, which removed many of the computational problems, and an increasing interest in nonstandard, complex applications. Despite the growth of Bayesian research, most undergraduate teaching is still based on frequentist statistics. Nonetheless, Bayesian methods are widely accepted and used, such as for example in the field of machine learning.

 * No matter whose numbers you choose, unstructured content makes up at least 80% of digital information, and it's growing fast. In the May 2001 issue of Scientific American Tim Berners-Lee, the recognized inventor of the World Wide Web, has an article co-authored with James Hendler (www.scientificamerican.com/2001/0501issue/0501berners-lee.html). In this article intended for the general public, they describe their vision for the Semantic Web. This vision is of a rich web of linked information, with markup allowing machines to route relevant information to the audiences that value it most. To accomplish this vision, a great amount of metadata will need to be added to content. . Semantic information management systems will be needed to compile and maintain schemas and the controlled vocabularies for filling them and to automatically process content at any time during their life cycles – from creation through purging – to apply and update rich metadata. When content has been labeled with rich, accurate metadata we can call this content intelligent in the sense that it has been prepared to be used by all sorts of applications. -- http://www.asis.org/Bulletin/Aug-01/president.html

the best smart phone operating system and why
The best operating system on smart phone is android for these reasons:

System Wide Voice Functionality

iOS’ voice command options are, well, limited – especially if you’ve gotten used to being a mobile connoisseur – barking commands at your Android smartphone. Actually touching your phone or tablet is so 2010, and Android does voice commands fabulously. Everything from searching to executing commands within the OS itself is already built into Android. Driving and want to jot down a few ideas or send a few texts? No problem. Android users can dictate text messages and e-mail, as well as get directions by simply speaking to the phone. The same flexibility exists for media too, and users can also load third-party music apps like Pandora with the “listen to” command, whereas the iPhone’s music-by-voice feature is only linked to the iPod app.

GPS Navigation

Android phones have offered free, voice-guided GPS for a long, long time. It’s actually been offered as a standard component of Android since October 2009, whereas iOS’ Maps app demands the user look at their iPhone or iPad as they drive – no good. Still, the iPhone has a few decent third-party apps that offer turn-by-turn voice guidance, but Android’s built-in functionality allows users to jump seamlessly into navigation from other apps. This kind of functionality simply doesn’t exist on iOS, as users have to manually copy and paste the address into the app of choice. Not efficient, and certainly not seamless.

Setting Default Apps

On Android, you get to decide what apps do what. Like a particular browser? Make it the default one. Is there a particular music player that suits your needs best? You get the picture. On Android, if you want to use alternative apps for virtually anything from mail, to Web browsing or even navigation, you can set them to be the default for all the related functions. It’s a small thing, but in reality, it’s a life saver, and one more reason why you are the boss of your Android device. Nice, isn’t it?

Widgets

Android is the most customizable OS in the world!

Android widgets are wonderful gems that can display whatever you want, at any time, anywhere you want to put them. Placed directly on the home screen(s), they can provide access to quick updates on the things that matter most to you. Widgets for breaking news, updates on sporting events, messages, emails, media playback controls, toggling screen brightness, or WiFi - it’s all up to you. The point is – it’s all up to you. That’s the beauty of Android – you are the boss of it, and it can really be customized to turn your smartphone or tablet into a device perfect for your needs.

Hardware Diversity

The customer is always right – right? With Android, you have literally tons of choice. Aside from the actual OS itself, Android is on more hardware than any other mobile OS in the world. You want a physical QWERTY keyboard? No problem. How about 3D video recording? Yep, got that covered too. Ok – how about an amazing display that makes everything look incredible, with 1080p video recording, and wireless streaming to your TV? The Samsung Galaxy S II has it all – for those with a healthy wallet, and a desire to have the most powerful, most amazing superphone in the world. Android’s got everyone covered – big screen lovers, media junkies, text-addicts, and mobile multitasking power users. Let’s not forget removable batteries either. Really – everything from dual core, to dual screen to dual cameras can be had – and it’s all Android!

Best Phone's Operating system

ANDROID

For me Android seems to be the best phone's os, due to its flexibility. Andriod is a open source os which any phone developer can import to their phones. Many phones in market is operated by android, there are also many class of phone which uses android as its OS. So it means the price is vary by the phone specification only. Such as Wellcom, who produces one of the cheapest android within the market, and also LG Optimus 2X, Google Nexus S, which are known to be the best Android phones in the market by today. What I've mean is that Android can be run by any phone if you wish to develop or modify the kernel and application. Unlike Apple's iOS which is designed to run only on Apple's device; so you don't have much choice with iOS.

One of the benefit you'll gain from using Android is "Flash", google seems to be the one who produce OS which is capable of running .swf file, and also flash banner on the web. With other operating system, there are also plug-ins that allow you to use flash player, but it won't be stable as android's flash player.

Also, the second benefit is when you're trying to sync file with a computer, with iOS you need to connect everything through iTune; but with Android phones, you don't need a specific software to syncronize. Application can be download directly from Android Market, and many of them is free.

Google Service, another advantage of Android user. As if you like to use Google's service like Google Docs or Calendar, Addressbook or GMail service and Google Map. All of the above can be sync all the time with Android's phone.

At last, Android updates almost like every month, from the very first version 1.6 and until now manythings has been developed. Unlike other operation system such as: RIM(Blackberry), iOS, Windows Mobile(Windows Phone) which haven't been updated for long time already.

I'd prefer android because it is the best phone's os for developer, who likes to create new software by themselves(open source), and also geeks who likes to update their device with new functions.

Fiji Hindi/Verbs

Verbs in Fiji Hindi clearly distinguish the language from Standard Hindi. Verbs are a koine of all major Eastern Hindi dialects, namely, Awadhi, Bhojpuri and Magahi and also borrows from Urdu.

The tense structure of verbs is demonstrated below, using khelo (to play) as an example and it is also compare to Standard Hindi.

Exception

 * Verbs with "ao" and "io" diphthong endings (e.g. khao, pio, bahao) or those made up of two letters, ie a consonat and "o" (e.g. bo) or a digraph and "o" (e.g. dho), have "-ya" ending for first and second person past tense. Examples:
 * Ham khaya (I ate)
 * Tum khaya (You ate)
 * Ham piya (I drank)
 * Tum piya (You drank)
 * Ham boya (I planted)
 * Yum boya (You planted)
 * Ham dhoya (I carried)
 * Tum dhoya (You carried)

 * Verbs with "eo" diphthing ending, have "-iya" ending for first and second person past tense. Example:
 * Ham liya (I took)
 * Tum liya (You took)

 * The verb jao (go) chnages to ga in past tense, examples:
 * Ham gaya (I went)
 * Uu gais (He/She went)

 * There is a tendency to remove consonant clusters. For example, the present continuous of badlo (change) is badaltaa (am changing)

Talk:UCNISS/Women and children's sport research centre proposal

Interesting Laura. I like this proposal. Regarding the Journal objective, have you considered my suggestions for running a journal? I'm wondering if your project might not be the seed for a UCNISS journal generally, run along the lines I suggest, and including your proposal of including Wikipedia and Books work too. UCNISS has been aiming to get a journal up and running for a while now, and we recently met to try and coordinate and capture our research more.. which will be reflected in the UCNISS/Research and Development. Women and children in sport would become a regular theme in this journal, I'm thinking Leighblackall 04:00, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

 * I wouldn't necessarily have a problem with it being part of a journal produced by UCNISS. It might make it easier in some ways, in terms of getting academic reviewers by doing that.  (And who those reviewers will be would have a huge potential impact on trying to get other academics involved to help bring some credibility to it.)  We might have to go outside that pool though if we say get people looking to submit from outside Australia.  I'd like some form of assessment similar to A+ class assessment that can be actually be seen on Wikipedia articles, possibly trying to set up an article assessment process that could be mirrored on Wikiversity for any original work done here.  I'm not really keen on using the University of Canberra webspace as what I have seen of it doesn't seem to really work for what I'd like to do.  (Hence, I'd like the space to actually be hosted on Wikimedia Australia's space.)  And I don't really have a problem with the process being open to anyone, just so long as we have what are the "officially acceptable" kind of standards involved, including double blind peer review… and this is not always nice if you want openness but it needs to be there. :/

 * I don't know how broad it would b. How would what you are proposing be different than the Bulletin of Sport and Culture and a few other journals that already exist?  --LauraHale 04:33, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Regarding the difference to Bulletin, our process would be a lot more open I imagine. Employing the principles of these wikis for example.. indeed the wider Internet. Inviting anyone to submit, and refining our review processes - similar to how Wikinews does their thing, but people are free to write wherever they think is best for them. Decentralised, but recentralised via the review process.

 * Regarding that review process.. specifically double blind review, open authoring is a problem for blind review, and significant journals are dropping it - Inside Higher Ed Rejecting Double Blind May 31, 2011. Leighblackall 10:58, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

 * On the double blind issue and openess: There needs to be some way of doing something recognisably similar just in terms of making sure enough academy practices are followed to get legitimacy. The publications you're talking about have that credibility already.  The isn't necessarily the submission process.  That should be easy enough to address.  The problem is more the who will the reviewers be, making sure that is clear to anyone potentially submitting, etc. --LauraHale 11:52, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

 * The Bulletin tends to be very footy code centric, lacking a lot of female content outside of the context of popular men's sports. In the context of what UCNISS does well (and how it differs from Victoria University) is that it misses a lot of the sport science thing.  I wouldn't mind being like the Bulletin, with a more female centric content approach… but if the major difference is just submitting process and not content, not sure the point. --LauraHale 11:52, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Talked to Keith about doing a journal. The focus is not necessarily credibility but about facilitating the sharing of knowledge and bringing in other knowledge stake holders. There are other ways to do this than a journal… and I'm not particularly interested in doing a journal myself. Putting it here, so there is a record of it that is visible in case this is an issue that needs to be revisited.

One of the first goals of this project would be to create a one shot academically peer reviewed journal. If it is successful, then it would be continued. The goal would be to have a third to half the content to be from Wikipedia. Other content would include book reviews, and articles requiring original research. This other type of content is very important in terms of helping the journal have credibility.

The process for submitting Wikipedia articles would involve steps like the following:
 * A potential contributor identifies an article on Wikipedia or Wikibooks that they would like create or improve for possible review. The contributor, following Wikipedia or Wikibooks's editorial and citation guidelines, improves the article.  The contributor must be responsible for at least 25% of the content to the article.
 * The submitting contributor identifies other major contributors to the article who have contributed 20% or more of the text remaining that the submitting contributor is not responsible for. They ask these contributors if they are interested in gaining recognition for having an academically peer reviewed publication. If the contributor says yes, they would need to provide information regarding how they would like to be credited (if different than their Wikipedia or Wikibooks user name) and what country the contributor is from, and possibly any university or employment affiliations that may be relevant.
 * Once the contributor is ready to submit the article for academic peer review, they add a tag to the talk page of the Wikipedia or Wikibooks page to announcing which revision they wish to have peer reviewed. The contributor would also contact the journal with the link to the Wikipedia or Wikibooks revision that they desire to have peer reviewed.  The contributor also contacts the journal editorial board with a link to the revision they want approved, evidence that they contacted all other article contributors who provided 20% or more of the text of that revision, the country they are from and that other contributors to the article who are seeking credit are from.  (All contributors to the article will be credited as writers, per the CC license that WP-EN uses.  They just will not be given credit for authorship in terms of getting academically peer reviewed.)
 * A double blind peer review is then done based on that revision. The academic peer review must have a reviewer who is from the country of all academically credited contributors to the article.
 * If the article passes academic peer review, the version (possibly revised version) will be posted to a website/closed wiki operated by the women's research centre. It will be acknowledged as having been academically peer reviewed. The talk page tag on Wikipedia or wikiBooks will be edited to say if the article passes academic peer review (or not if it failed) and contain a link to the revision that was approved and a link to the external link of the final version with revisions on the site hosted by the research centre, and information on who was credited with "academic peer review" authorship.

The important things to remember with this process:

 * People would be able to get academic peer review credit for posting content to Wikipedia.
 * This process would help give higher ranking for the journal, helping to encourage academics to Wikipedia.
 * Wikipedia and Wikibooks are not about original research. This journal is not about original research.  This journal is about synthesizing existing research to draw a complete picture about a topic.   In this way, it is more similar to a Masters research degree, where the work involves synthesizing work, and not a doctoral degree, where original research is required.
 * This process is about encouraging people to work on providing additional knowledge regarding women's sport that is neglected but may not otherwise be explored.
 * This process is about providing additional visibility for contributors to Wikipedia by clearly giving them authorship credit for content they have been a major contributor to.
 * Content in the journal would need to be supplemented by additional, non-Wikipedia content.

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 Derricko. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Derricko~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.

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 Henryford. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Henryford~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 23:33, 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) 06:11, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
