User:Cormaggio

Hi, my real name is Cormac Lawler. I've been closely involved with setting up and developing Wikiversity. This process has been the focus of my ongoing PhD (which began in September 2006, and which I will be submitting early 2011): to participate in the definition of what this space is, what it means in the context of the wider world of education, and what its opportunities and limitations are.

 * Real name: Cormac Lawler
 * Email: cormaggio (at) gmail (dot) com
 * Cormaggio on Wikipedia | Meta | Commons | Wikibooks and many other places :-) (It's an old nickname that I resurrected for an email address, which has subsequently stuck as an online moniker)
 * more detailed bio and interests
 * blog

Research

 * Developing Wikiversity through action research - main research page

I'm using a blog and a wiki to help document and facilitate my research, but I also intend to carry out much (if not most) of this on Wikiversity itself, particularly as we have developed this project with the potential for actually doing research (though these guidelines still need to be developed).

Courses

 * I participated for a while in AREOL25 (course home page here), until I lost track of a few weeks' emails, and gave up. :-(
 * Hoping to participate in David Wiley's Open Ed Intro course - but didn't :-(
 * Composing free and open online educational resources - beginning March 3rd 2008

Conferences

 * Learning and learning about learning in Wikiversity (Paper at Wikimania 2007)
 * ALT-C resources (details)
 * I'll be participating in a ECSIG meeting on "openness", in which I'll be outlining Wikiversity and its implications for education (see notes)
 * Collaborative research on Wikiversity (paper for Wikimania 2008)

Statistics
At , July, 2024 (UTC): pages,  articles,  files,  users &  admins; version

 * At 22:27, Jan 23, 2007 (UTC): 20,606 pages, 1,628 articles, 892 files, 5,725 users & 14 admins; version 1.10alpha (r19597)

Bureaucrat
I was made an English Wikiversity bureaucrat as a temporary measure on the project's first day, and held that lonesome position for quite a while (unnecessarily long as I subsequently found out), since when I've been joined by Sebmol. If you need any assistance, you can leave me a message on my talk page. If it's a general custodian (ie "admin") query, you might be better off with Request custodian action, as this is monitored by all custodians, not just me.

Some things I'm interested in doing

 * Write research-related guidelines (eg. Research and on Beta)
 * Help out on providing a comprehensive and easy-to-follow tutorial on what Wikiversity is, and how you can contribute and/or benefit from it.
 * Help in providing a framework for building Wikiversity, which I don't really think exists yet (so far, it's a bit piece-meal, and particular learning materials are connected with particular pedagogies, without making that explicit)
 * Develop School:Education, Learning, Disclosures
 * Work on Media literacy (and all my other interests), hopefully learning about what will work on Wikiversity through that process
 * Making an educational video
 * Metadata - what's happening on that front, I wonder..?
 * Participate in Topic:Audio Engineering - learn about making music

Projects

 * Learning to learn a wiki way
 * Wiki as a tool for learning
 * Wikiversity the Movie

Interests

 * Portal:Media
 * Research
 * Education

Workspaces

 * User:Cormaggio/My? research
 * User:Cormaggio/Visions of Wikiversity
 * User:Cormaggio/Issues for Wikiversity
 * User:Cormaggio/Ongoing discussions

Contacts

 * Teachforward and Rob and Kevin's Wikimania talk talkpage
 * Wikigogy (yet to contact)
 * cnx.org Very interesting resource - see Wikiversity and Connexions collaboration
 * Teaching for the future (blog on technology and education)
 * MartinY at academia wikia (Yorkshireman)

Welcome, Arcadian :-) What's your area of interest/expertise? Or what do you want to learn more about on Wikiversity? Cormaggio 09:28, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Primarily medical. How about yourself? --Arcadian 09:45, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah right - well, I'm interested in education myself (that's my PhD), but specifically also in the use of media (and, I suppose, technology). Plenty of other interests, but I could go on and on, and I won't bore you :-) Cormaggio 10:43, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Welcome
Hello and welcome to Wikiversity!

Here are some tips to help you get started:
 * You can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~.
 * Remember to conduct any editing experiments in the sandbox, and try to follow our rules.
 * Check out our help page if you need additional editing help.

You will find more resources at the Community Portal. If you want to ask a question, visit the Study help desk, the Colloquium, IRC channel or ask me personally on my talk page.

Good luck! - Trevor MacInnis 00:26, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Wikiversity:What is Wikiversity?

Around Wikiversity in 80 Seconds

Wikiversity is a learning community
Wikiversity is a community effort to learn and facilitate others' learning. You can use Wikiversity to find information or ask questions about a subject you need to find out more about. You can also use it to share your knowledge about a subject, and to build learning materials around that knowledge.

The basic definition of a university in Latin is universitas magistrorum et scholarium—a community of teaching and learning. The basic definition of a wiki is software that allows collaborative creation of online documents. Wikiversity combines wiki technology and culture with a variety of learning communities and projects. Wikiversity is the viciversitas magistrorum et scholarium—a wiki-based community of teaching and learning.

See below for ideas on how you can help yourself and others or help us help you.

Wikiversity for learning
In Wikiversity, you can find learning materials of all types to use yourself as self-study materials. If you are interested in learning about a subject, browse our content to see if there is anything that suits your needs. It would also be helpful if you comment on the materials you use, so that we can continually improve our resources.

Also, if you want to meet other people who are interested in your subject, you may want to join a learning community devoted to that subject (or help create one if one doesn't yet exist). You may find someone there who can help you with your learning, or you may want to help someone else with what you already know (or have just found out).

Please help Wikiversity to develop its education potential at the learning and learning projects pages.

Wikiversity for teaching
Wikiversity is designed to collect a range of learning materials for various uses. These materials are designed, not just for self-study, but also as material which can be used in your classroom. What we aim to provide is a way of searching for content easily, which can be printed/saved and used in class—as well as a lesson plan to guide you through this material.

As Wikiversity is a work in progress, there is always content that can be added. We would really appreciate any content you have that you would be willing to provide, and maybe also an indication of what you have done with it, and how that worked. In this way, we hope to build a living resource of real use to teachers, not only in their classrooms, but also as somewhere to improve teaching practice through sharing materials and experiences.

Instructional and study guides that make use of original research are allowed on Wikiversity. Wikibooks also allows instructional guides, but that resource doesn't allow original research.

Please help Wikiversity to develop its teaching potential at the education and teaching pages.

Wikiversity for researching
Wikiversity will offer a space not just for hosting research, but also for facilitating research through creating researcher communities. Please help Wikiversity to do this by adding your ideas to Research.

Wikiversity is the place for original research, including primary or secondary research. This includes interpreting primary sources, forming ideas, or taking observations. Ethical guidelines must adhere, see Research ethics. Pages with original research should be marked with the original research or research project templates.

Wikiversity for serving
Wikiversity will offer opportunities for service and learning development in a variety of contexts. Please help Wikiversity to do this by adding your ideas to Service.

Wikiversity for sharing materials, ideas, community
If you have learning materials that you think could be of use, you can add them to Wikiversity! Or, if you have an idea for how to help someone learn about a topic, you can start developing learning materials right here. However, if it's suitable for a textbook, it's best to add it at Wikibooks; if it's suitable for an encyclopedia, it's best to add it at Wikipedia. Textbooks at Wikibooks and resources elsewhere on the internet can be used as materials in a Wikiversity syllabus, and should generally be linked from the module rather than duplicated here. Note, like Wikipedia, Wikibooks does not allow original research.

See Browse for links to our various sections of materials. You can also read adding content and naming conventions to guide you in adding content.

Wikiversity is also a place to share ideas — about how to teach, how to learn, what the best ways of facilitating learning are, what has worked in the past, and what hasn't. It is hoped that Wikiversity will (amongst other things) provide a platform for teachers and learners to form learning communities about learning.

As is obvious from the above, Wikiversity is a place to share community. It is hoped that Wikiversity will not only provide spaces for persons to form various communities of learning and discovery, but also provide a place where service, learning, and research can be integrated in meaningful ways that benefit individuals, larger communities, and our global society.

Using Wikiversity as an academic discussion forum may help share ideas that may promote research and learning.

General
Hi, I'm a full-time software developer in Berlin, Germany. Since March, I've been mostly active in the German Wikipedia editing articles about the politics of Germany and the United States. I've also started WikiProjects United States and Templates.

Custodian & Bureaucrat
I'm a custodian and bureaucrat on Wikiversity. If you need help or have a question about the software, Wikiversity or anything else, just leave a message on my talk page.

Top Ten Signs You Are Spending Too Much Time With Mediawiki

 * 10. You sign e-mails with ~.
 * 9. You notice what you've done and send them like that anyway.
 * 8. You look up Ursa Major and, three hours later, end up reading about Italian cuisine.
 * 7. Whenever you don't know something, you look in Wikipedia first.
 * 6. You setup a MediaWiki installation for work and create pages for Cleanup, Requests for Adminship and Articles for Deletion.
 * 5. You send a link to a Wikipedia article to a colleage by enclosing the subject with.
 * 4. Your watchlist contains more than 1,000 entries.
 * 3. You refresh your watchlist every 30 seconds to see what's changed recently.
 * 2. When visiting another web site, you notice a spelling mistake and start searching for the "edit" tab.
 * 1. You hear about an RFC and actually search for a place to leave your comments.

Quote of the Day

 * With Wikipedia, one often gets the impression discussions are the way but there's no goal.

Unschooling
I've updated the course description. I saw your comments on the talk page. Any thoughts? As a side note I also created Learning by failing. -- dark lama  17:14, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Reflection and Evaluation
Hi Cormaggio,

I've just finished a course on Evaluation, and I think that your work on reflection is much more clear to me now as a component of Evaluation. I'm going to start to clean up the Adult Education resources a bit, but I was wondering if you had and Topics on Reflection or writings on it outside of Wikiversity. There isn't much in the Adult Ed space here, so I'm sure the eval pieces will be a nice complement. Historybuff 16:19, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

hello!
How have you been? How did your thessis go? Drop by irc sometime and say hello! --mikeu talk 12:00, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Frustration with Wikiversity
Dear Sir: I chose you at random not knowing how to contact any body at Wikiversity. My apologies for this.

I think the concept of Wikiversity is great. It seems to me to be designed predominantly for "young folks" intimately familiar with computers. I tried the last about 2 weeks to begin developing a curriculum that I felt might be of interest to a community - some community. however despite spending a considerable time trying to penetrate the mysteries of the WV setup -language, etc i feel that i have to spend more time in putting the "" stuff" on then creating it. I do believe that better - more concise tutorials and editor guidelines might be very welcome.  ( I do not see how I casual reader/ visitor is encouraged to participate in a certain topic) I taught myself Html, and I became quite proficient in using the "TiddlyWiki markup language. I each case the learning curve seemed to have been substantially shorter than here. If you have any suggestions please let me know. Again I think what you ( as a group/ organization) are doing is laudable and I hope that I might be able to contribute. If not we will have to chaulk it up to the onset of Alzheimer's disease. In that case not a real loss to anyone Thank you for your time Altera vista 01:01, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

User rename request
Would you please check the username page for my request on changing userame? C.I. 17:02, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Project incubator
Please check Project_incubator for an update on HHF. I'd really appreciate your help in setting up the project or atleast looking it over once in a while. --Dharav talk 12:11, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

 * No I have not been coordinating with anyone else, that is one reason why nothing much has happened with the project. I know that the project will create a lot of structure, but when I thought of structuring it - I assumed an initial categorization of 1000+ questions/discussions.

 * This'll help, because apart from the direct goal of helping out people, this forum will help create a lot of content for wikibooks and wikiversity. Ideas come from discussions. I don't think any one will have a lot of incentives working all by himself. But when the same person sees a big community, it's characteristics and everything - he knows what exactly will help. He knows that his work is needed by someone at the very moment.

 * It's different from Help desk not in the content/concept. It is different in terms of the expected volumes. Expected depends on how well we market the project. You can checkout information regarding IIT-JEE, AIEEE, AIPMT and AFMC. These are examinations that are taken by a huge number of students in India. The education is all haywired, particularly because students do not do muh productive work in school and instead rely on coaching centers/Rot schools which dish uninteresting education.

 * There's a lot that can be done with this. I am sure I can attract a lot of people from the demographic that I just mentioned. If they come and see wikiversity's involvement in teaching them (ofcourse, those exams are based purely on highschool syllabus), they'd be excited about it all - mainly because wikiversity and wikipedia are sister projects.

 * Right now, I want some major help in setting up the forum's navigation and text. Can you suggest me someone who would be willing to help me out with this? Thanks. --Dharav talk 05:59, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

You can read the clarifications on the separate section below. I hapenned to read a message on some talk page that said something about being frustrated on wikiversity. yes Sir, even I am. And all that is keeping me here is the vision that given a few months time, this discussion forum will be active and helping out a lot of people.

If you realize, I am just asking for someone to come and help me out with completing the forum's pages in full. Can anyone HELP me? That's all I'm asking for! We sing songs praising wikiversity and co-operative work. Is there no one who'd actually team up with me? --Dharav talk 13:40, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

That is indeed a concern. I'll put some thought to it. Hopefully this can be incorporated into the forum as well. I'll figure out some way to do that. Thanks for pointing it out. The colloquim seems like an ideal place to start. Will approach the people over there. Thank you again. --Dharav talk 16:32, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Clarifications regarding HHF
I'd still worry about creating all this structure...
 * The structure is already created! Only that it can not be launched with a good reception right now.

duplicate something that already exists, is functional, and much simpler
 * The two projects are similar only in their core offerings - discussions. But honestly, com out of the wiki mindset for a second and realize, what would dumb users prefer? Blocks of text or formatted and categorized questions?

 * Wikihelpdesk is functional and so is this forum. What is the difference? How many queries on helpdesk are answered? Why would someone come to the help desk when he already has other services like Yahoo!!! Answers'?

 * Let us for now assume that help desk is a bad idea for specialized queries and discussions - and it's not a bad one given that no one has asked for his/her doubts through out a course over there. If it were helpful, the user would keep coming back to it and increase the content on the helpdesk. Is that the case?

 * Given the assumption, I do not perceive HHF as a duplication, but an improvization! Is the improvization major? Well, until and unless we set the project out in the open, we'll never know! The structure is there so that people keep coming back to the forum to check out things. Where will I attract the people from? Let's leave that for later.

 * That apart, I plan to solve a large number of questions on the forum and already have volunteers for that. These questions will serve the purpose of attracting people and keeping them here and to gain the trust that "YES! Doubts are indeed solved here!"

 * Given that the project already has volunteers who'd help with solutions of questions, diagrams, mathematical steps, clarifications, etc. etc., I do not think we should doubt this project until it actually is set up. Let's believe in being Bold.

Where will all your projects end up; how will people interested in such subjects find them?
 * This is a discussion forum. So, the discussions will be on questions. Direct exercise questions that we find in textbooks and examinations. What we need to realize is that these questions, once there volumes reach a certain level, can be directly used for the exercises section of the textbooks. And they'd be much better than what is being offered in the market right now.

 * People interested in these four subjects will easily find the forum. I plan to discuss some questions on the forum with my volunteers, edit the discussions and release a PDF on scribd.com That should get me some initial visitors. I guess we can handle a sustainable flow from there.

Well, according to me, the need of the hour is to help complete the project that is already functional but not usable and then move onto the other stages of development.

People come and invest a lot of their time on wikiversity which in the end makes no difference. The whole idea of this project is to remove the burden of creating content from one person and to entrust it to something that is human nature - doubts and queries.

I'm sure this'll help.

Also, I'd appreciate it if someone could help me out with completing the aesthetics and navigation. That'll be more productive for me. '''Honestly, I am looking for help. Can you help me out?''' Or can you recommend this project to someone who you know will be interested? --Dharav talk 13:23, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

thanks
for your thanks (from over a year ago, heh!)... I never remember to log in over here with this name so I never noticed I had a message. :-D Did the collective learning notion develop any further? Happy trails! -- Απεργός 02:08, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

User Rename
Hi Cormaggio. It's been a while since I've contributed to Wikiversity, and I'm interested to see where our planning (from four years ago) has got it. Could you please pursue my request to merge this account (User:Xenon) with my unified account (User:Gboyers), on both en and beta? Thanks Xenon 03:10, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Just to confirm I own both accounts. Also confirmed here. Gboyers 03:11, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Appropedia assistance
Hey Cormaggio, I was wondering whether you are interested in joining Appropedia; we currently need someone with experience in the wiki-software; see http://www.appropedia.org/User_talk:Chriswaterguy#Members More precisely, we need to add some extensions/semantic updates to automate a few things (ie member listing, ...). Let me/us know if you're intrested or if you know someone that might be intrested. KVDP 10:44, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

community review
The current review and OR discussions could use your input, since you were a central part of the debates over research on Wikiversity from the early drafts of the Wikiversity proposal. –SJ + 15:40, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

G'day again :-)
I noticed your comments at the 'response testing' page, and how closely they echoed Brian's advice further up the page - you chaps seem to me to have an agreement that the establishment of some sort of policy framework / review board / expert input would be a good idea before we consider getting research (broadly construed, I guess) under way - I'm up for talking about this, and can see that it could be really useful - what do you think the best next step is? cheers, Privatemusings 23:44, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Need bureaucrat at Candidates for Custodianship
Cormaggio, there are three old discussions warranting 'crat action at Candidates for Custodianship. Would you mind looking at the nominations for Pmlineditor, AFriedman, and especially the bureaucratship for Jtneill? Thanks. --Abd 02:59, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

I've acted on the pending nominations for probationary and full custodianship, but I'm sure I'll have queries as I go along. How's the thesis? -- Jtneill - Talk - c 14:14, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I've handed in my thesis, and my viva is next week. I didn't want to publish it until after I had had feedback, so I'll try and make it more available here after the viva. I still want to make it useful to the WV community - that was one of its main objectives. Talk soon... Cormaggio talk 09:42, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Page for small research about similarities Wikipedia-OS
Hola! I was thinking about starting a small research collaborative project in Wikiversity where I can collect the help of some wikipedians and open source developers to validate a series of comparisons. I already have a wiki table which I would like to move and extend a little bit here for letting other people edit/comment it.

My main doubt about how to proceed is if it would be better to start a (new) research project page or if is better to create it in my user subpages. What do you think? (Any extra advice? :)

--Esenabre 08:34, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Thank you very much for you advice! I'll try to make it clear in a standalone page and do some secondary pages to see if it works then. --Esenabre 14:42, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

trolling
"I will plainly state that I believe JWSchmidt has been allowed to dominate such discussions by trolling" <-- Cormaggio, please explain your accusation. Are you using a real definition of "trolling" or are you just gaming the system and trying to bully me? Please provide me with links to my past edits that support your accusation of "trolling". I have always worked to support and develop Wikiversity and I've never abused a position of responsibility at Wikiversity. The disruption is from those who have done thing like impose bad blocks against community consensus. --JWSchmidt 16:16, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

 * I'm using a standard definition of trolling - for reference, see What_is_a_troll? and Troll (Internet). The ways in which I think you troll are numerous - for example: repeatedly posting inflammatory and bad-faith comments in discussions about Wikiversity policy and governance, particularly in candidates for custodianship/bureaucratship; requesting that all actions that you dislike be backed up by policy (which would be fine, if you didn't seem to have any reservations about flaunting policy yourself, particularly civility); and simply refusing to have an open and honest discussion about your behaviour, or being frustratingly evasive during such discussions. We've been through this to death - I've given you countless examples of where I think your behaviour has been problematic (in the wake of your first block), and it seems to have just got worse since that time. John, I don't doubt that you want the best for Wikiversity, and it saddens me to say any of this. I wish we could have an open discussion without the posturing - but I've long since become fatigued by all the drama, and I have to say I find it hard to assume good faith on your part any more. I'm sorry, but that's how I feel, along with many of the people I've talked to who have either been involved in or followed the post-Moulton drama. Cormaggio talk 19:48, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
 * If you need to bully me then please feel free to call me a troll at Community Review/JWSchmidt 2010, I've come to expect such treatment from Wikimedia functionaries. Jimbo dun teached you good. I ask that you provide evidence of trolling and I request that you don't block me before I have a chance to respond to your charges, or is my asking for evidence too "frustratingly evasive" for you? I'm not going to stop complaining about people who violate policy and disrupt Wikiversity, even if the policy violators don't want to hear it. There is nothing uncivil about discussing abuses of power. Jimbo tried to force the banhammer culture on Wikiversity and there is a well-known way to deal with an occupying power. I hear that the godking lost his to banhammer. Are you going to step in and pick it up? If you want to play games I'll go to Community Review/Problematic actions and document how a gang of sysops published false accusations about me and violated Wikiversity policy in order to terminate my Custodianship. SBJ called me up on the phone and told me why that was done and I'm perfectly happy to make sure that the entire Wikiversity community knows. I'd much rather work on Privacy policy, which I was doing before Adambro blocked me. Why is it that two years ago when I called for Privacy policy to be recognized as official policy, a month before Jimbo was gamed into coming to Wikiversity, all the great leaders of Wikiversity sat on their hands? I was told that any policy I worked on would be not become policy. Isn't that real mature? Is that where we are now, still? Everyone is too "fatigued" to collaborate and make a policy? Is it easier to just make up rules as you go along and tumble out of the boat anyone who thinks differently than you do? Is it just too convenient to blame Moulton for everything? --JWSchmidt 20:55, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I have no wish to bully, play games, or wave a "banhammer". I don't believe SB_Johnny, Mikeu, McCormack, or anyone else you would label as part of a "gang" do or ever did either. It's this kind of comment - the one I'm responding to - that I regard as trolling: misrepresenting a situation for the purposes of strengthening your position (even if that includes playing the victim). It's you who is playing games here, John. Cormaggio talk 22:16, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I beg people to make a privacy policy in 2008, I beg in 2010, finally Ottava starts a new policy development drive and I get blocked for working to develop the privacy policy. Ottava asks me to start a community review aimed at finding ways past the log jam and I do that. Can you name the "game" I am playing? After all my hard work you come dancing in and announce that JWSchmidt is trolling and Moulton must go because of "drama"? But who made the bad block of Moulton against community consensus? Who violated Wikiversity policy and removed my custodianship? If you are too fatigued to collaborate then why not find a less challenging task than building a wiki community? Moulton and I am willing to devote our time to the task. Two years ago I was blocked for the absurd reason "until guidelines are agreed upon". Funny how the people who are ready and willing to develop guidelines get blocked and banned. Why is that? You come waltzing in and call me a troll. Very constructive. If you don't want to wave a banhammer then why did you violate Wikiversity policy and perform an emergency desysop on me when there was no emergency? What kind of game was that? I call it abuse of power. I know that a gang worked in secret off-wiki to engineer removal of my Custodianship and to block me. Wikiversity is a community for scholarly learners, not a place where a few people get together and decide who to eliminate. "misrepresenting a situation" <-- If you know something that I don't know why don't you tell me? What am I "misrepresenting"? If I'm wrong about something and you show me that I am wrong I'll gladly admit my error. --JWSchmidt 23:22, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

You are invited to register for the Wikiversity Assembly

 * The Assembly has been established as a technique for developing reports on topics of import for Wikiversity administration. The Assembly is not a decision-making body, per se. Rather, it is designed to create or discover or estimate consensus, through focused, facilitated, thorough deliberation. Assembly reports may be referenced in regular Wikiversity discussions, but will not directly control outcomes. Where full consensus is not found, minority reports may be issued.
 * I invite you to register for the Assembly by adding your user name to the Delegable proxy/Table.

 * Registering for the Assembly creates no specific obligation, but does consent to direct communication as the Assembly may determine is appropriate. You may opt out of such direct communication by adding "no messages" to the Table when you register, in the user comment field, but it is unlikely that the default (communication allowed) will create burdensome traffic for you.

You are invited to name a proxy

 * When you register for the Assembly, you may optionally designate a "proxy."

 * I suggest that you nominate, as a proxy, the user whom you most trust to participate positively in a Wikiversity discussion if you are unable to participate yourself. The proxy will not be voting for you in any process. Rather, the proxy will be considered to loosely represent you, as a means of estimating probable large-scale consensus based on small-scale participation, in the event that you do not personally participate.

 * If you name a proxy, you will be consenting to direct communication with you by that proxy. If a named proxy accepts the proxy, you become, as long as you maintain the nomination (you may change it at any time), the "client" of the proxy, and by accepting, a proxy has consented to direct communication from the client.

 * See Delegable proxy for details.

Comments
I'm inviting all relatively inactive custodians to register for the Assembly, and to name a proxy as described. This is because you who have been and remain custodians have yourselves been trusted by the community, and your proxy choice, if you name one, may carry some reasonable weight, due to your experience. You may, of course, participate directly, whether you do or do not name a proxy. Thanks for considering this. --Abd 01:35, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Forced user renames coming soon for SUL
Hi, sorry for writing in English. I'm writing to ask you, as a bureaucrat of this wiki, to [//meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=page-Single+User+Login+finalisation+announcement%2FPersonal+announcement&filter=&action=page translate and review the notification] that will be sent to all users, also on this wiki, who will be forced to change their user name on May 27 and will probably need your help with renames. You may also want to help with the pages Rename practices and Global rename policy. Thank you, Nemo 13:08, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

An important message about renaming users
Dear Cormaggio,

I am cross-posting this message to many places to make sure everyone who is a Wikimedia Foundation project bureaucrat receives a copy. If you are a bureaucrat on more than one wiki, you will receive this message on each wiki where you are a bureaucrat.

As you may have seen, work to perform the Wikimedia cluster-wide single-user login finalisation (SUL finalisation) is taking place. This may potentially effect your work as a local bureaucrat, so please read this message carefully.

Why is this happening? As currently stated at the global rename policy, a global account is a name linked to a single user across all Wikimedia wikis, with local accounts unified into a global collection. Previously, the only way to rename a unified user was to individually rename every local account. This was an extremely difficult and time-consuming task, both for stewards and for the users who had to initiate discussions with local bureaucrats (who perform local renames to date) on every wiki with available bureaucrats. The process took a very long time, since it's difficult to coordinate crosswiki renames among the projects and bureaucrats involved in individual projects.

The SUL finalisation will be taking place in stages, and one of the first stages will be to turn off Special:RenameUser locally. This needs to be done as soon as possible, on advice and input from Stewards and engineers for the project, so that no more accounts that are unified globally are broken by a local rename to usurp the global account name. Once this is done, the process of global name unification can begin. The date that has been chosen to turn off local renaming and shift over to entirely global renaming is 15 September 2014, or three weeks time from now. In place of local renames is a new tool, hosted on Meta, that allows for global renames on all wikis where the name is not registered will be deployed.

Your help is greatly needed during this process and going forward in the future if, as a bureaucrat, renaming users is something that you do or have an interest in participating in. The Wikimedia Stewards have set up, and are in charge of, a new community usergroup on Meta in order to share knowledge and work together on renaming accounts globally, called Global renamers. Stewards are in the process of creating documentation to help global renamers to get used to and learn more about global accounts and tools and Meta in general as well as the application format. As transparency is a valuable thing in our movement, the Stewards would like to have at least a brief public application period. If you are an experienced renamer as a local bureaucrat, the process of becoming a part of this group could take as little as 24 hours to complete. You, as a bureaucrat, should be able to apply for the global renamer right on Meta by the requests for global permissions page on 1 September, a week from now.

In the meantime please update your local page where users request renames to reflect this move to global renaming, and if there is a rename request and the user has edited more than one wiki with the name, please send them to the request page for a global rename.

Stewards greatly appreciate the trust local communities have in you and want to make this transition as easy as possible so that the two groups can start working together to ensure everyone has a unique login identity across Wikimedia projects. Completing this project will allow for long-desired universal tools like a global watchlist, global notifications and many, many more features to make work easier.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns about the SUL finalisation, read over the Help:Unified login page on Meta and leave a note on the talk page there, or on the talk page for global renamers. You can also contact me on my talk page on meta if you would like. I'm working as a bridge between Wikimedia Foundation Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Stewards, and you to assure that SUL finalisation goes as smoothly as possible; this is a community-driven process and I encourage you to work with the Stewards for our communities.

Thank you for your time. -- Keegan (WMF) talk 18:24, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Your admin status
Hello. I'm a steward. A new policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc.) was adopted by community consensus recently. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing administrators' activity on wikis with no inactivity policy. You meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for 2 years) on enwikiversity, where you are a bureaucrat and administrator. Since that wiki does not have its own administrators' rights review process, the global one applies. If you want to keep your rights, you should inform the community of the wiki about the fact that the stewards have sent you this information about your inactivity. If the community has a discussion about it and then wants you to keep your rights, please contact the stewards at m:Stewards' noticeboard, and link to the discussion of the local community, where they express their wish to continue to maintain the rights, and demonstrate a continued requirement to maintain these rights. We stewards will evaluate the responses. If there is no response at all after approximately one month, we will proceed to remove your administrative rights. In cases of doubt, we will evaluate the responses and will refer a decision back to the local community for their comment and review. If you have any questions, please contact us on m:Stewards' noticeboard. Best regards, Rschen7754 20:52, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

Cheers Filip! I would like to help out as an admin, but I've no prior experience (except for a school MediaWiki wiki I helped to moderate etc.) I'd like JWSchmidt and Roberth to be admins at the beginning at least - they both have been actively involved in getting Wikiversity set up and they are both admins (in Wikipedia and Wikibooks, respectively). As for a bureaucrat, is it not a tad too early? :-) Cormaggio 12:13, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Wikiversity talk:Main Page

To request an edit to the protected Main Page, add editprotected to your request. Such requests should either be obvious or uncontroversial, or be discussed to show consensus, so please do not make vague requests here. If possible, describe exactly what changes should be made so that any custodian can quickly satisfy the request. To raise general topics about Wikiversity, make general suggestions about Wikiversity, to ask questions, or to talk about anything else of a general nature, use the Colloquium. To discuss the structure, appearance, etc. of the Main Page, go to the Main page learning project and the talk page for the main page learning project.

'If you wish to post something below, go ahead. It's a talk page. But you are more likely to get a response by going to the Colloquium, which is where the main talking at Wikiversity goes on! See you there.'

The Wikiversity:Main page learning project
The Main page learning project was launched after the redesign of the main page in December 2007. The Main page learning project has as its goal "the promotion of responsible involvement of the Wikiversity community in an efficient, productive, open and inclusive maintenance of the Wikiversity main page as a flagship of the activity and values of the Wikiversity community". If you would like to get involved in the design of the main page, this is where to go.

If you have general comments about the main page, but you don't especially want to get involved in the main page project, then you can also leave comments on the talk page for the main page learning project.

 * I've suggested that it might be time to retire the "quote of the day" project and remove the quotes from the Main Page. See: Wikiversity talk:Main page learning project/QOTD. It might also be appropriate to deprecate the inactive Main page learning project and archive it. Thoughts? --mikeu talk 23:37, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

LinkedIn
I insist that a Wikiversity page should be added on LinkedIn. Wikimedia has its LinkedIn page; Wikipedia, too. But not Wikiversity. I tried to show my Swedish studies but could not choose Wikiversity as the Institution. Why not? Even when it is not a "granting degree" Institution, is is still an Institution, right? When I contacted LinkedIn about this, they sent me the link so that I can create myself the Wikiversity page. But then there is box I must tick: " I confirm I am an approved authority of this Institution to create this page", which is not the case. But I think there are many Wikiversity experts on here that woud qualify as Wikiversity Linkedin page creators. I can create the page if someone here approves, but I would need some info: # of employees, etc. --Leonardo T. Cardillo (discuss • contribs) 23:34, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

 * The information would go here Wikiversity institution but it probably should have a bureaucrat or someone from the WMF tick "I verify that I am an authorized representative of this organization and have the right to act on its behalf in the creation and management of this page. The organization and I agree to the additional terms for Pages." The number of employees (volunteers is not an option but we are unpaid) for our Wikiversity I guess could be the number of active users 201-500. The current logo is File:Wikiversity logo 2017.svg. The website can be https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Main_Page.--Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 00:16, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Wikiversity is a community. None of us gets to insist that anything happen on behalf of the community unless there is consensus to do so. This requires a discussion in the Colloquium and a vote for support or lack thereof. Because this request involves an outside organization, it may also require support from the WMF.

I have some concerns at this point that your passion regarding this issue far exceeds your demonstrated commitment to either Wikiversity or the wider Wikimedia community. It might be better to let this rest for a bit and learn more about how Wikiversity functions before insisting that this be discussed. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 03:29, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

 * I apologize for the use of the word "insist", I have taken note to not use it anymore here to avoid distractions from the main topic of conversation. Also, I do not like you judge how much my passions should go against my level of contributions. With that being said, and for my personal learning on this environment, can someone please guide me on the very first step I should take to have a Wikiversity page created on LinkedIn? I think you mentioned something like a "poll", how do I do that? --Leonardo T. Cardillo (discuss • contribs) 04:38, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

 * I have already guided you on the next step to take. Please read my response carefully. Then slow down and learn more about Wikiversity. We often have people come in with high passions and quick fixes that Wikiversity must make in order to improve. They're typically gone within a month and we're left having to clean up after them. That's not to suggest that this is or isn't a good idea. It is simply to point out that this is a community. You must first learn to work with the community before you try to change it. We look forward to working with you as you figure this out. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 15:31, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Thanks so much for your inputs. I have created this: https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Colloquium#LinkedIn. Please indicate if that is the next step that was intended to be created. Also, please guide on the following ones. Best regards, --Leonardo T. Cardillo (discuss • contribs) 16:27, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Colloquium our course on WWI is woefully inadequate, but this is a good time to start improving it!

User:JWSchmidt

Leave a message for JWSchmidt Welcome to the Wikiversity user page of John Schmidt. If you need to contact me in a hurry, the best bet is to send me an email or leave a note on my talk page. Hopefully in the future we will all be able to instantly link into video chat discussion groups. Maybe some day Wikiversity will exist as an immersive virtual reality environment. See Education in virtual worlds.

Multiple accounts. I have several Wikiversity user accounts such as User:JWS. Most of them are not used very much. "JWS" and "JWSchmidt" are the two main accounts. Others include User:JS (was renamed to User:JS~enwikiversity, User:JWSurf, User:JohnWSchmidt, User:clueless (was renamed to User:Clueless~enwikiversity), User:testnocookies, User:Trout of Doubt, User:Beetlebaum. These accounts have been made for several reasons: to "claim" account names similar to my own real name, to test how the MediaWiki software "treats" new accounts or for special learning activities.

The Rules. Feel free to edit this page, but since it is my user page, I usually get the last word.

About me
I'm interested in exploring wiki technology as a tool for supporting online learning. I enjoy using Wikiversity as playground for learning. At the multi-lingual Wikiversity hub I have a special interest in the development of the Wikiversity research guidelines.

My Wikiversity projects and activities
Go here for the list of Wikiversity editing projects that was on the earlier version of this page. An alternative list is provided below.

My Wikiversity blog
My Wikiversity blog is where I sometimes write about topics I am trying to understand. The blog originated on this page and is really just an extension of my user page. Everyone is welcome to edit my user pages and add comments/questions. However, I always get the option of having the last edit on my user page!

Back at the start of the blog I spent a significant amount of time tracking the software problems of the Wikiversity website.

One of the most unique entries in the blog is an essay about wiki and virtual realities.

Some of the blog entries are rather mundane accounts of mundane editing tasks such as the January 2007 effort to make portal pages with easy-to-edit box-like sections including a section for featured content.

Sometimes I blog about issues at the level of the entire Wikimedia Foundation. Although I have spent most of my "wiki time" at Wikiversity since it launched, I still think of myself as a "Wikimedian".

Wiki Scholar
In addition to personal learning blogs, I think Wikiversity should have some kind of "community blog". My original idea for this was more like a "magazine" (see: Portal:Wiki Scholar). Another alternative is to use the Wiki Journal format. It might be better to just use a commercial blogging service that can feed into Planet Wikimedia.

School of Free Learning
The School of Free Learning is dedicated to the idea that learners should be encouraged to explore the topics that are of greatest personal interest. Like all Wikiversity schools, the School of Free Learning is a content development project where Wikiversity participants can collaborate to create, develop and organize learning resources.

Science
As a science geek, much of my wiki editing falls under the broad subject of science. I'm particularly interested in biology. While the term "biology" is new, interest in living organisms is integral to human nature. In Western culture, interesting writing about biology goes right back to the point where alphabetic writing reached the Western world. From Aristotle to Francis Crick, naturalists and scientists have been fascinated by the invisible forces that animate living organisms and generate our conscious experiences. The struggle against invisibility was a major theme in the development of biology. Life is nearly as old as the Earth and as evolved on Earth, life is made possible by special molecular processes and even most cells are too small to be clearly seen. A major remaining challenge for biology is to work out the details of how the specialized molecular and cellular processes of the brain produce memory and consciousness.

In an age of amazing advances in medicine and discovery of our biological origins, an interesting cultural phenomenon is that some religions continue to deny our biological origins. Commercial forces acting through politics probably warp the reasoned application of scientific knowledge more than any other force. Tobacco companies deny that smoking causes cancer, oil companies deny the costs of pollution and danger of human-induced climate change, drug manufacturers pressure government agencies to approve useless and harmful drugs.....entire mis-information industries exist to produce junk science and confuse public understanding of scientific issues. We need good science education and science journalism to keep politicians from being able to legislate contrary to scientific reality. The State of Kansas continues to teeter, torn between a political faction that views Darwinism as religion and another faction that views creationism as pseudoscience.

Science Fiction
History of science is often taught as a story of discovery after discovery after discovery. It is tempting to ignore all the confusion and errors of the past. If scientific results are always tentative and open to questioning, how do we know which current ideas will later be shown to be incomplete or wrong? Sometimes the hardest part of science is escaping from what we think we know and finding ways to open our thinking to new ideas. Science fiction provides a playground for thinking about new ideas and exploring the boundary between the known and the imagined. New sciences can form and the boundary of science always seems to be shifting and being re-defined. Can we use new tools like wiki to keep up with the pace of change in science? Can new media like collaborative science fiction writing help keep our thinking free enough to keep pace with science-driven technological and cultural changes?

Wiki Studies
I hope Wikiversity can become a good source of learning resources for wiki in general, how to participate in Wikimedia wiki projects, and how to be a good online participant in the Open Culture movement.

Wikiversity:Policies

See the talk page for general discussion about Wikiversity policies. Please note that the Wikiversity project proposal underlies these policies. Discussions related to the development of research policy are conducted in a multi-lingual format at beta.wikiversity.org, you can start at: Research guidelines.

Policies required by the Wikimedia Foundation
''These policies are listed at Meta:Policies and guidelines. They may change from time to time, but are outside the direct control of the Wikiversity community and must be followed by Wikiversity. Nevertheless, contradictions may exist within material on meta, and between material on meta and the WV project proposal.''

Neutral point of view
Neutral point of view is adopted by some Wikimedia projects. Wikiversity has explicitly developed policies that allow participants to NOT use the neutral point of view (NPOV) in some situations. Editing outside of the constraints imposed by NPOV imposes other special requirements on editors. Most Wikiversity pages adhere to NPOV.
 * Neutral point of view

Existing policies
''This is a list of official policies that have been adopted on the English Wikiversity (the link shows the voting). The adoption process is discussed on the talk page. A policy should already have the Template:Policy banner before being added to this list.''

 * Assume Good Faith
 * Civility

Content

 * Reliable sources
 * Verifiability

General

 * Be bold

Other

 * Bots
 * CheckUser policy
 * Community Review Policy

 * Deletion policy
 * Usernames

Draft policies
''Note: These policies are in development. Please contribute and comment.''
 * Artificial intelligence

Proposed policies
''Note: some of these policies were rejected by vote shortly after Wikiversity's foundation. These policies should be tagged for revision if not already revised, and then resubmitted for approval.''
