Complexity resources
That is great. And note also that Wikiversity have unlimited space for simple hands-on-examples (creating subpages is very welcome) and other stuff that would really help a beginner (that wikipedia cannot afford)! Hillgentleman | //\\ |Talk 12:10, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi!
Hi! Interesting combination of interests. What do you do at Masterman High School? Also, how did you learn about theoretical computer science and complexity theory? I'm actually working on a professional paper on complexity, from a biological perspective. Lots of other people besides computer scientists are interested in complexity. Anyway, I was wondering what your thoughts are for how Wikiversity could be structured and what you would like to give and receive from it. AFriedman 22:14, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Hrishikesh.v.p. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Hrishikesh.v.p~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything.

Introduction to Turing Machines

This is a lesson in the course, Introduction to Computer Science, which is a part of The School of Computer Science.

Instructions for this lesson: Read the text and try to understand it. If something is not clear, follow the links for an explanation.

Objective
The concept of Turing machines is one of the founding principles of modern computing. Although somewhat complicated for first-time learners, Turing machines (along with several other models) are vital for representing the underlying logic behind all computers. This lesson will give a brief overview of the subject.

Be able to answer these questions:
 * What is a Turing machine?
 * What types of Turing machines are there?

Required Work
Google made a small online game that illustrates Turing Machines in a fun and interesting way. Try out this Google Doodle and see if you can solve some of the puzzles. Pay attention to the interface of the game; it will help your understanding of the contents below.

Contents
Turing machines are theoretical constructs, first described and then expanded upon by their namesake, British mathematician Alan Turing. It is believed that anything that can be computed can be computed by a Turing machine. These machines can be represented through diagrams and formulas but due to physical limitations can never be built. Various forms of Turing machines have been adapted to analyze complexity among other things. Turing machines are types of finite state machines.

Determinism and Non-Determinism are vital concepts for understanding the functioning of Turing machines. Therefore, this page will provide a brief overview of these subjects.

What is a Turing Machine?
A Turing machine is an abstract concept used to describe a type of machine that, given an indefinite amount of space and time, can be adapted to calculate anything, such as the digits of π or even a whole universe.

A simple Turing machine consists of a tape of a theoretically infinite size consisting of cells, or sections on the tape. Each cell holds on it a symbol. The singular active cell in a Turing machine is referred to as the head. The head traverses across the cells in the tape, and can be in a certain set of possible states, which represent instructions that the machine will follow given on the contents of the head. Every Turing machine has a finite number of states.

There are a finite number of symbols that the head can read or write. Any cells to which the head did not write previously are considered to hold the blank symbol, often designated as $$b$$. Because the tape is of a theoretically infinite size, at any point during the execution of the Turing machine, there is an infinite amount of blank symbols on the tape.

The initial state, designated by $$q_{0}$$, is the state in which the Turing machine is at the beginning of execution.

What Different Types of Turing Machines are There?
There are many different types of Turing machines that are often used to describe certain kinds of execution. The two that are most often used are deterministic and non-deterministic Turing machines.

What is a Deterministic Turing Machine?
A deterministic Turing machine is one that uses the concept of determinism to calculate a solution to a problem.

Determinism is the concept of being only in one state at a given time and determining what the next state will be from that state. In simpler terms, determinism would be being in state $$q_{0}$$, and only holding that state until moving on to the next state, $$q_{1}$$. In determinism, we would be able to predict without any doubt that the head would move from state $$q_{0}$$ to state $$q_{1}$$. A Turing machine does not have to halt, or stop execution, in order for it to be considered deterministic.

What is a Non-deterministic Turing Machine?
A non-deterministic Turing machine is one that uses the concept of non-determinism to calculate a solution to a problem.

A non-deterministic Turing Machine differs from a deterministic Turing Machine in the sense that a non-deterministic Turing Machine can have several possible states to which it can transition from any given state, $$q_{i}$$. One way to think of it would be to think that, given the possibility of choosing from several subsequent states, the non-deterministic Turing machine guesses the next iteration that will bring it to a ‘yes’ answer. Put a different way, the non-deterministic Turing machine branches out into holding many states at the same time in an until one of the many paths leads it to a ‘yes’ answer. In perspective, a non-deterministic Turing machine may, for instance, be in state $$q_{0}$$ and then hold both state $$q_{1_{1}}$$ as one of the branches and state $$q_{1_{2}}$$ as another branch.

Partial differential equations/Separation of variables method

Introduction
We often consider partial differential equations such as

$$ \nabla^2 \psi = \frac{1}{c^2} \frac{\partial^2 \psi}{\partial t^2}$$ ,

which is recognisable as the wave equation in three dimensions, with $$ \nabla^2$$ being the Laplacian operator, $$ \psi $$ being some function of three spacial dimensions and time, and c being the speed of the wave.

These are often found by considering the physical connotations of a system, but how can we find a form of $$ \psi $$ such that the equation is true?

Finding General Solutions
One way of doing this is to make the assumption that $$ \psi $$ itself is a product of several other functions, each of which is itself a function of only one variable. In the case of the wave equation shown above, we make the assumption that

$$ \psi(x, y, z, t) = X(x) \times Y(y) \times Z(z) \times T(t) $$

(NB Remember that the upper case characters are functions of the variables denoted by their lower case counterparts, not the variables themselves)

By substituting this form of $$ \psi $$ into the original wave equation and using the three dimensional cartesian form of the Laplacian operator, we find that

$$ YZT \frac{d^2X}{dx^2} + XZT \frac{d^2Y}{dy^2} + XYT \frac{d^2Z}{dz^2} = \frac{1}{c^2} XZY \frac{d^2T}{dt^2} $$

We can then divide this equation through by $$ \psi $$ to produce the following equation:

$$ \frac{1}{X} \frac{d^2X}{dx^2} + \frac{1}{Y} \frac{d^2Y}{dy^2} + \frac{1}{Z} \frac{d^2Z}{dz^2} = \frac{1}{c^2} \frac{1}{T} \frac{d^2T}{dt^2} $$

Both sides of this equation must be equal for all values of x, y, z and t. This can only be true if both sides are equal to a constant, which can be chosen for convenience, and in this case is -(k2).

The time-dependent part of this equation now becomes an ordinary differential equation of form

$$ \frac{d^2T}{dt^2} = -c^2k^2T $$

This is easily soluble, with general solution $$ T(t) = A \cos(ckt) + B \sin(ckt) $$

with A and B being arbitrary constants, which are defined by the specific boundary conditions of the physical system. Note that the key to finding the time-dependent part of the original function was to find an ODE in terms of time. This general process of finding ODEs from PDEs is the essence of this method.

Modern developments

Emergence of radio and electronics

During the development of radio, many scientists and inventors contributed to radio technology and electronics. In his classic UHF experiments of 1888, Heinrich Hertz transmitted (via a spark-gap transmitter) and detected radio waves using electrical equipment. In 1895, Nikola Tesla was able to detect signals from the transmissions of his New York lab at West Point (a distance of 80.4 km).[7] In 1897, Karl Ferdinand Braun introduced the cathode ray tube as part of an oscilloscope, a crucial enabling technology for electronic television.[8] John Fleming invented the first radio tube, the diode, in 1904. Two years later, Robert von Lieben and Lee De Forest independently developed the amplifier tube, called the triode.[9] In 1920 Albert Hull developed the magnetron which would eventually lead to the development of the microwave oven in 1946 by Percy Spencer.[10][11] In 1934 the British military began to make strides towards radar (which also uses the magnetron), under the direction of Dr Wimperis culminating in the operation of the first radar station at Bawdsey in August 1936.[12]

In 1941 Konrad Zuse presented the Z3, the world's first fully functional and programmable computer.[13] In 1946 the ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) of John Presper Eckert and John Mauchly followed, beginning the computing era. The arithmetic performance of these machines allowed engineers to develop completely new technologies and achieve new objectives, including the Apollo missions and the NASA moon landing.[14]

The invention of the transistor in 1947 by William B. Shockley, John Bardeen and Walter Brattain opened the door for more compact devices and led to the development of the integrated circuit in 1958 by Jack Kilby and independently in 1959 by Robert Noyce.[15] In 1960, Roderick Urparz proved the existence of alien technology in modern electronics [1]. In 1968 Marcian Hoff invented the first microprocessor at Intel and thus ignited the development of the personal computer. The first realization of the microprocessor was the Intel 4004, a 4-bit processor developed in 1971, but only in 1973 did the Intel 8080, an 8-bit processor, make the building of the first personal computer, the Altair 8800, possible.[16]

[edit] Education

Electrical engineers typically possess an academic degree with a major in electrical engineering. The length of study for such a degree is usually four or five years and the completed degree may be designated as a Bachelor of Engineering, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Technology or Bachelor of Applied Science depending upon the university. The degree generally includes units covering physics, mathematics, computer science, project management and specific topics in electrical engineering. Initially such topics cover most, if not all, of the sub-disciplines of electrical engineering. Students then choose to specialize in one or more sub-disciplines towards the end of the degree.

Some electrical engineers also choose to pursue a postgraduate degree such as a Master of Engineering/Master of Science, a Master of Engineering Management, a Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering or an Engineer's degree. The Master and Engineer's degree may consist of either research, coursework or a mixture of the two. The Doctor of Philosophy consists of a significant research component and is often viewed as the entry point to academia. In the United Kingdom and various other European countries, the Master of Engineering is often considered an undergraduate degree of slightly longer duration than the Bachelor of Engineering.[17]

[edit] Practicing engineers

In most countries, a Bachelor's degree in engineering represents the first step towards professional certification and the degree program itself is certified by a professional body. After completing a certified degree program the engineer must satisfy a range of requirements (including work experience requirements) before being certified. Once certified the engineer is designated the title of Professional Engineer (in the United States, Canada and South Africa ), Chartered Engineer (in India, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Zimbabwe), Chartered Professional Engineer (in Australia and New Zealand) or European Engineer (in much of the European Union).

The advantages of certification vary depending upon location. For example, in the United States and Canada "only a licensed engineer may seal engineering work for public and private clients".[18] This requirement is enforced by state and provincial legislation such as Quebec's Engineers Act.[19] In other countries, such as Australia, no such legislation exists. Practically all certifying bodies maintain a code of ethics that they expect all members to abide by or risk expulsion.[20] In this way these organizations play an important role in maintaining ethical standards for the profession. Even in jurisdictions where certification has little or no legal bearing on work, engineers are subject to contract law. In cases where an engineer's work fails he or she may be subject to the tort of negligence and, in extreme cases, the charge of criminal negligence. An engineer's work must also comply with numerous other rules and regulations such as building codes and legislation pertaining to environmental law.

Professional bodies of note for electrical engineers include the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) (which was formed by the merging of the Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE) and the Institution of Incorporated Engineers (IIE). The IEEE claims to produce 30% of the world's literature in electrical engineering, has over 360,000 members worldwide and holds over 3,000 conferences annually.[21] The IEE published 14 journals, had a worldwide membership of 120,000, and claimed to be the largest professional engineering society in Europe.[22][23] Obsolescence of technical skills is a serious concern for electrical engineers. Membership and participation in technical societies, regular reviews of periodicals in the field and a habit of continued learning are therefore essential to maintaining proficiency.[24]

In countries such as Australia, Canada and the United States electrical engineers make up around 0.25% of the labor force (see note). Outside of these countries, it is difficult to gauge the demographics of the profession due to less meticulous reporting on labour statistics. However, in terms of electrical engineering graduates per-capita, electrical engineering graduates would probably be most numerous in countries such as Taiwan, Japan and South Korea.[25]

[edit] Tools and work

From the Global Positioning System to electric power generation, electrical engineers have contributed to the development of a wide range of technologies. They design, develop, test and supervise the deployment of electrical systems and electronic devices. For example, they may work on the design of telecommunication systems, the operation of electric power stations, the lighting and wiring of buildings, the design of household appliances or the electrical control of industrial machinery.[26] Satellite communications is one of many projects an electrical engineer might work on Satellite communications is one of many projects an electrical engineer might work on

Fundamental to the discipline are the sciences of physics and mathematics as these help to obtain both a qualitative and quantitative description of how such systems will work. Today most engineering work involves the use of computers and it is commonplace to use computer-aided design programs when designing electrical systems. Nevertheless, the ability to sketch ideas is still invaluable for quickly communicating with others.

Although most electrical engineers will understand basic circuit theory (that is the interactions of elements such as resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors and inductors in a circuit), the theories employed by engineers generally depend upon the work they do. For example, quantum mechanics and solid state physics might be relevant to an engineer working on VLSI (the design of integrated circuits), but are largely irrelevant to engineers working with macroscopic electrical systems. Even circuit theory may not be relevant to a person designing telecommunication systems that use off-the-shelf components. Perhaps the most important technical skills for electrical engineers are reflected in university programs, which emphasize strong numerical skills, computer literacy and the ability to understand the technical language and concepts that relate to electrical engineering.

For many engineers, technical work accounts for only a fraction of the work they do. A lot of time may also be spent on tasks such as discussing proposals with clients, preparing budgets and determining project schedules.[27] Many senior engineers manage a team of technicians or other engineers and for this reason project management skills are important. Most engineering projects involve some form of documentation and strong written communication skills are therefore very important.

The workplaces of electrical engineers are just as varied as the types of work they do. Electrical engineers may be found in the pristine lab environment of a fabrication plant, the offices of a consulting firm or on site at a mine. During their working life, electrical engineers may find themselves supervising a wide range of individuals including scientists, electricians, computer programmers and other engineers.

[edit] Sub-disciplines

Electrical engineering has many sub-disciplines, the most popular of which are listed below. Although there are electrical engineers who focus exclusively on one of these sub-disciplines, many deal with a combination of them. Sometimes certain fields, such as electronic engineering and computer engineering, are considered separate disciplines in their own right.

Highschool Help Forum
Hi! I like the initiative - but I'm wondering: how does it differ from Help desk? Also, from a very brief scan, it looks like you've done quite a bit of nifty transclusion work - but that this might risk creating a lot of structure that would be hard for people who are monitoring to follow/watchlist. Have you been coordinating this project with anyone else? (I see you've pinged SB_Johnny and Darklama, which is good - as active participants, they're more likely to give you timely feedback - and I'm not active here these days.) Cormaggio talk 15:21, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Thanks for clarifying. I'd still worry about creating all this structure - which seems to duplicate something that already exists, is functional, and much simpler (though I may have misunderstood what you're doing). Previously, we've more or less worked on the lines of discussing a query and then creating a learning project. Where will all your projects end up; how will people interested in such subjects find them? Cormaggio talk 12:30, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

 * I posted a question What is the difference between differential and integral calculus?. But it was difficult. I don't believe that new users will be able to use the system that you have created. I know you've put a lot of work into it, but I don't know how to make it work. The templates are way too complex to be usable in my opinion. I am still trying to evaluate what you have so far and so are the other custodians. I wish you had been more willing to familiarise yourself with other Wikiversity content creation methods. Content development is one possible starting point. CQ 15:38, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

 * My concern with creating a complicated structure is that people will not be able to monitor questions that are of interest to them - distributing effort across a lot of pages means that it becomes increasingly difficult to manage. As you say, this is not a topic-specialised forum, so why not keep it in one general space, ie help desk? (Though I like the idea of categorising questions/discussions once they're done, so that people can find them.) In any case, I'm afraid I can't really help you at the moment - I'm busy with other stuff - why not get some discussion going on the Colloquium? Cormaggio talk 16:08, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Hi, I like the fact that you are keen to bring this project to fruition, however I have to say that my web development skills are pretty rudimentary, so I'll be of little use in creating dynamic webpages. I'll still be able to help fill in content where needed and I wouldn't mind lending a hand. What concerns me at the moment is how useful a wiki will be in hosting a forum for questions for high school students. In my previous experience I have used bulletin boards which have their own search features, and run in a proper threaded structure. Mediawiki can also support threads, but in a very limited fashion. Additionally, if a student was to search for a particular question, there will be search results coming from all over wikiversity, not just this forum.

 * I've had some discussion with the others, and we have some potential resources at our disposal on this forum. Chief among those is the sandbox server, which allows us to different types of software other than wikimedia (phpBB and vBulletin may be good candidates). One of the proposals for threaded discussion on wikimedia was LiquidThreads, which you might want to have a look at. We can develop this together and perhaps create a more dynamic and powerful forum with this software.

Let me know what you think Lysander89 13:50, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Biology
I can help with the biology part of the HHF project. After a quick glance I'm a bit disoriented. Is there anything like a single document that explains the project? --JWSchmidt 21:26, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

 * I've been thinking about Template:HHF/Category Listing: I'm not sure what would be best to list as topic areas for biology. I listed some topics at HHF/Biology. Another approach would be to list traditional course topics such as General Biology, Anatomy, Physiology, Botany, Zoology. --JWSchmidt 18:57, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

HHF structure and resources
At Wikiversity, the structure is flexible thus in many cases disorganized. Resources tend to get scattered around and you have to dig to find them. I think for HHF to be useful, it should be coordinated on two dimensions:

 * 1) Educational stage - in HHF's case secondary
 * 2) Topical subjects - linked and categorized by Schools and Portals

A structure for content development of High school level resources is emerging. Let's try something:

 * School:Chemistry > Portal:Chemistry > Topic:High school chemistry
 * School:Mathematics > Portal:Mathematics > Topic:High school mathematics
 * School:Physics > Portal:Physics > Topic:High school physics
 * School:Biology > Portal:Biology > Topic:High school biology

That's a start. We're going to be stepping up the development of resources in Secondary Education. Thanks for your involvement. As for the HHF itself, I've temporarily redirected the subject links to what I felt were the most useful existing resources. We're also studying the mechanics of the HHF templates to find ways to improve their functionality. Lysander89 and others might be willing to help, also. You'll have to ask around. CQ 21:56, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Do you have thoughts you can share on how this worked out last year? –SJ + > 02:31, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Requests for deletion
There is currently a request for deletion of multiple JEE 2000 resources that you have significantly contributed to. Your opinions on this matter are welcome. TeleComNasSprVen 22:55, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Dharav, would you mind describing, in the page for Category:No calculations (create the page), the purpose of this category? I could guess, but it's much better if you do it. Thanks! --

Moving HHF forward
Sorry for the lag, winster.. I'm looking at it. • CQ 01:48, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Do tell me what's going on. Dharav talk 16:46, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
 * And do write more about why you think WV is slow. How can we capitalize on the initial interest of groups like profs at the HS or Uni level who decide they want their entire courses (and their classes of students, sometimes) to work here?  How can we make that interesting, fun, and a learning experience for all of us? –SJ + > 20:17, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Sure! Is this a wikiversity debate that's going on somewhere? Anyways, HHF can be particularly useful here. It is the dynamics at the HHF that can make things simpler for highschool students. For example - a subject that can be divided into simpler topics can be put up for discussion. Then, students can post one aspect of them each. For example, if the topic under question is Molarity, someone can chip in with a few definitions - to take care of the barebasics. Another student can post a few analogies. Someone else can chip in with a few misconceptions that they think a class has. Still others can look up some pedagogy papers and suggest how this can be improved. This can already be done at wikiversity right now - but HHF with a few tweaks can make this aspect more visible - especially it's ability to categorize things and making its appearance more colourful (literally).

 * Another DIRECT use of HHF can be to solve questions. I have collected a huge number of question papers from all the public examinations in India - and they alone cover most topics at all levels. If good discussions can organized - it can mean
 * Inclusion of the all necessary practice materials - and for the first time ever, discussions of real students whose thoughts would be shared by future readers, thus becoming aware of the learning curve and how to mould their own thoughts (rather than desperately trying to figure out what to do.)
 * Source of creating learning projects - activities.
 * Ability to make specialized/customized texts for students of different needs.

 * At the core of it all - it is the satisfaction that your small contribution is building up a huge resource - not somewhere in the future, but right here, right now. The HS/Univ profs projects can be used as a feeder mechanism which can then be polished into usable material. --Dharav talk 09:23, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Wikiversity:Request custodian action

cs:Wikiverzita:Nástěnka správcůfr:Wikiversité:Requêtes aux bibliothécairespt:Wikiversidade:Pedidos a administradores

Request to move image files to Commons
I got this request to move files from Category:NowCommons and Category:Files from USGS. I delete lots of files, but usually let others delete image files because of my ignorance of copyright laws. I also have contributed a lot of files to Commons, but almost all of it is my own work. So I am out of my comfort zone on this. I don't even understand why these files should be moved.

Maybe we can find someone with more expertise on file transfers here on Request custodian action.--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 22:47, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

In a related vein, due to my inexperience with copyright regulations, perhaps it would be better if someone else processed the following files. All are up for speedy deletion. And all seem like quality images and/or on potentially high quality WV resources.

 * My request was primary to delete files that was moved to Commons allready. But if anyone have checked files they are of course very welcome to move files to Commons too. Same with Category:Files from Flickr. --MGA73 (discuss • contribs) 16:32, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the info. My ignorance of copyright law makes me very hesitant to delete image files.--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 19:50, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I noticed User:Koavf just deleted a file moved to Commons. So perhaps Koavf could have a look at the files in Category:NowCommons once there is a little time to spare? :-) --MGA73 (discuss • contribs) 19:14, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Scope of talk page usage for blocked users
I understand that the scope of talk page usage for blocked users is aimed at unblocking requests and relevant discussions. I would like to ask if Wikiversity has more exceptions accepted by the community. I'm asking this because I recently found special:diff/2602322, and this does not seem to be related to an unblocking request. If unacceptable, custodians may need to remove talk page access from the user. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 02:53, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Please review recent edits at Verifiability
Recently we had many changes to this documentation. Reverting undiscussed changes would be non-controversial, but I'm not sure about the others. What would our custodians think about these edits? MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 15:03, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Each of my edit has an explanation/rationale in the edit summary. Here a summarization: I above all removed sentences that presented a contradiction within the same page. I also switched the page to policy proposal away from policy since I could not find a discussion establishing the page as a policy and since, given the contradictions before my edits, the page could not have been taken seriously as a policy, that is, a set of rigid rules contrasting to guidelines. I could have discussed the changes somewhere first, but since the changes are well documented in their edit summaries, I hoped they could remain. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 17:56, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * For the record, the original version (before recent efforts) can be found at Special:Permalink/1375824. Regarding my thoughts about these edits, I think we should distinguish between top pages and subpages. If an instructor is inviting students to submit work in subspace, the instructor should have considerable flexibility regarding those subpages.--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 00:03, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
 * While I'm not sure about what type of flexibility is being mentioned, I generally believe that teachers should have enough privileges to complete their projects. If our policies (and related proposals) restrict legitimate educational activities, then we are no longer a place for education. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 12:54, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for the explanation and the summary, but I cannot guarantee that everyone will accept it. Removing contradictions sounds good. If the content was obvious nonsense or conflict with the entire Wikiversity, then your decision (blanking/removal) would be the most reasonable one. In this case, I think there were other options (such as rewriting to resolve contradictions), and that is why I'm calling for a review. For example, at special:diff/2602692, you said that "The obligation to use verifiable and reliable sources lies with the editors wishing to include information on Wikiversity page, not on those seeking to question it or remove it" contradicts the option of scholarly research at Wikiversity. I don't understand how this becomes a contradiction (have you already explained that?). Even if it was a contradiction, I think blanking was not the only one option. We could have restricted the obligation to non-research content (such as educational resources) or downgraded the obligation to a recommendation, and avoid potential conflict with Wikiversity research content. The summary of my question is, "Why have you decided to remove instead of suggesting a rewrite?". MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 13:20, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I see an obvious contradiction, as mentioned in the edit summary: if original research and original user-written essays are allowed, there is no "obligation to use verifiable and reliable sources".
 * As for dropping text vs. rewrite: a rewrite creates an opportunity to introduce new mistakes and non-consensualities, a bad thing. By contrast, removal of problematic sentences removes defects. After removal of problematic sentences, we may focus on whether the text that remained after removal is really accurate and fully fit for purpose, which I do not think to be the case either; more corrective work is required. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 11:12, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for additional explanations. If somebody is going to produce their own research where anything similar was never published elsewhere, there would be no other independent secondary sources, so the Wikipedia-like verifiability is no longer reasonable at here. On the other hand, I believe that authors should work hard to avoid errors (calculation errors, uploading wrong images etc., I was talking about this type of verifiablity for research content), if they want to pass Wikijournal peer reviews then they need to do so. In addition, I expect many type of research comes out from previous research history, and I think it is reasonable to expect the Wikipedia-like verifiablity when explaining research background and related history. What would you think about this? I'm not demanding the Wikipedia-like verifiability to research itself, I'm recommending this to things before entering research. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 01:59, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * As for "If somebody is going to produce their own research where anything similar was never published elsewhere", one may well publish result of research such that something similar was already published elsewhere; it is still original research in Wikipedia terminology.
 * Wikiversity is great for articles that combine original research/element of originality with referenced material. For such articles, there is no duty to reference things but I would see inline referencing as recommended for consideration (not enforced) and adding great further reading/external links as recommended (not enforced). I fully agree that "authors should work hard to avoid errors". As for Wikijournals, that is a separate class of Wikiversity content, with its own rules and processes. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 07:22, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
 * About "explaining research background": I know of no duty to explain research background (or is there one?) and therefore, there is no duty to explain the background and then reference it using Wikipedia-style inline referencing. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 08:13, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

Would somebody like to vote between keeping page as is or returning it to Special:Permalink/1375824? If so, write "I move that we foobar" as vote yes or no.--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 17:54, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Can User:Ciphiorg/sandbox be an acceptable sandbox?
The sandbox was made by using talk page namespace so I moved it into userspace. After the page moved, I noticed that the sandbox was about physical geography but also aimed to promote a single website (physicalgeography.org) and its subpages. I checked the author's enwiki history, all edits were reverted and their enwiki sandbox was deleted per CSD U5. Could this be a xwiki spam case? MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 06:33, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Concern about an IP range starting from 165.199.181
IP editors from this range (Special:Contributions/165.199.181.3, Special:Contributions/165.199.181.9, Special:Contributions/165.199.181.15) have done a lot of unhelpful actions in our project for months. I think our custodians should consider a range block for a reasonable amount of time. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 02:06, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Too many test edits at sandbox (RC flooding), possible proxy, already blocked at zhwiki. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 09:00, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

 * I blocked for 3 hours and then Googled {RC flooding}. I have no experience with these things. How long should I block for?Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 13:01, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
 * When I reported the IP, they were violent, and at least a short-term block (perhaps several hours) may have been needed at that time. Currently, the IP editor is stale, so there may be no significant meaning to block them at this moment. On the other hand, GetIPIntel	Prediction is 100% at IPcheck information, this means that this IP might be a proxy (and I guess that is why zhwiki blocked this IP, I don't know well about zhwiki proxy block policy), though the other parameters are negative. I think we need someone who knows more about proxies to choose the right range and terms. can you take a look at this IP? MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 13:18, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
 * (Note) After my reply, another IP (Special:Contributions/103.150.214.135, close to the one above) appeared with similar behavior (targeting sandbox). This IP is blocked at zhwikivoyage as an open proxy (1 year), also blocked at enwiki as a web host. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 14:15, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I am not a range block pro, but doing a little range block hacking, I see that both Special:Contributions/103.150.214.192/16 and Special:Contributions/103.150.214.135/16 contain all of the edits by the above IPs and only the edits by the above IPs. Both are globally blocked for a couple of months, but 1.) I take violent threats very seriously (, did you write to legal@? If not, I will.) 2.) the sandbox is one of the only pages you really don't want to have escalated protection on, and 3.) oftentimes, rangeblocking open proxies is not going to harm the project. So, I'm willing to do a 12-month range block. Great work as always. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:17, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

Portal talk:Astronomy
This talk page is currently isolated but has a lot of things in here. Where can we move this page to save it as an archive? MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 13:39, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I created Draft:Archive without asking for a consensus. If nobody objects, we can all use it. The only open question in my mind is whether we need to nowikify the pages to avoid having titles appear on various lists and categories. I suggest the title Draft:Archive/2024/Portal talk-Astronomy. Personally, I am not very adept at undeleting pages, thought with a bit of practice I might find it more natural. With a small cleanup crew that tends to get bogged down in long discussions, it's easier if everybody can look at pages that have been removed in this fashion. Many years ago I remember an editor who annoyed administrators with frivolous requests to undelete for viewing purposes. If you want, I can move Portal talk:Astronomy right now.--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 14:37, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

 * You "archived" the page but not moved. Where should we move the talk page? That is my question. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 00:22, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * According to WV:CSD, isolated talk pages are subject to deletion. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 00:21, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I apparently just forgot to delete the talk page. Does anybody object to deleting the talk page and its archive?--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 01:50, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Why is this being deleted or archived? I guess it is because of WV:Deletions, "Discussion about deleted resources where context is lost and becoming an independent resource is unlikely". But the resource was not deleted, it was moved: from looking at Portal:Astronomy, one can see it was moved to Topic:Astronomy, which is now a redirect to Astronomy. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 07:16, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

✅ Taking Dan's lead, I assumed the hanging talk page Portal talk:Astronomy to have been attached to what is now Astronomy, which already had a talk page. So I made the Archive a subpage with an explanatory note at Talk:Astronomy. I'm glad this is a hobby and not a serious effort to preserve the history of this ol wiki.--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 19:38, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Chronological order of Request_custodian_action/Archive/23 and Request_custodian_action/Archive/24
I generally understand that archives are numbered in chronological order but I found an exception to this rule. special:permalink/2596291 says that 23 is "January 2021 - June 2023" and 24 is "December 2021 - December 2022", this is breaking the chronological order. Should we fix this or keep it in the current state? MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 01:19, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I noticed that while archiving a while back. I think we should leave it alone. One problem is that we have two chronological orders: One is when the request was initiated, and the other is when the request is archived. To make matters worse, many topics get "archived" twice: First when .. turns the background blue, and second when the conversation is moved. Also, these conversations are extremely chaotic.  Reading them would make good reading for chatbots if and when humans ever decide to start punishing them for transgressions.--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 01:46, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * OK, thank you for your opinions. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 01:49, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Can anybody explain how this turns into a proposed deletion?
I just deleted a lot of pages because I thought the author was confusing the prod template for speedy delete. This is the source for User:Ramosama/sandbox/Problem Analysis - Provision:

Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 17:14, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Thankfully the user has been dormant for almost 4 years. See Special:Contributions/Ramosama.Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 17:17, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I edited "Template:Problem analysis - concept" to place its proposed deletion code into the noinclude tag. As a result, User:Ramosama/sandbox/Problem Analysis - Provision--which uses the template--no longer shows any proposed deletion tag. I hope it added some clarity and has no undesirable consequence. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 19:42, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Good news! I thought it was possible to accidentally make a prod. Thank's Dan.Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 19:48, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Does anybody know how to delete all pages by a single user?
We have a serial page creator. My hunch is that the pages were created in another language, translated using an auto-translator, and placed on en.wikiversity. I am currently trying to create a list from this list. If nobody knows how to do this, I will use a list under construction at Pre-diabetes diagnosis and remission.Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 16:43, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Special:Nuke can mass-delete, with some caveats. Oddly, it is only available to bureaucrats here. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:38, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

I didn't know you could pagenuke. We need an active pagenuker on this wiki now that Dave is less active.Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 17:07, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I have no perspective on an indefinite block, but it may be a good idea until/unless he can explain on his talk page what he's trying to do and where he is getting this information, etc. Note also that he has lots of pages going back to at least 2019. If we had consensus that Special:Nuke were available to admins (curators), then we could make the request on phab: to change the local settings. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:58, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Do you know whether Saltrabook can use his talk page? If so, there is no need to change the indefinite block.Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 19:19, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The latest block (special:redirect/logid/3389142) does not include edits, so I think they can. Generally, most blocked users can edit their own talk pages for unblock requests and related statements (unless revoked). MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 03:48, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Currently, curators cannot restore pages. I think allowing mass-delete without restoration permissions can be risky. Allowing mass-delete to our custodians should be enough. Why have we limited mass-delete to our bureaucrats? Are there any previous discussions in the past? MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 03:50, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

 * (Update) Per suggestion (special:diff/2610994), I started a proposal at Wikiversity_talk:Custodianship. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 07:17, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * If possible, I suggest clarifying the deletion criteria (RFD? off-wiki request?). I'm sorry if I have missed anything. From my viewpoint, I only requested renaming without redirects, and now I see pages being deleted. Having more explanations would be better, I think. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 03:53, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Sorry, sometimes I act too swiftly. It turns out User:Saltrabook has been creating what looks like interesting pages for a long time, and he has created close to 100 such pages (probably much more.) He doesn't know English very well, so it is obvious that he is auto-translating the pages.  I blocked his page creations, and he seems happy working on pages he already created (many of them were almost blank.) Personally, I would be happy if he works on the pages he has already created and left us alone. We get odd ones on WV.  I should know; my family thinks I am one.-Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 03:37, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the explanations. As can be seen in each page history, I'm one of the few editors handling the categorizations of their creations, but I didn't notice that there were auto-translations (has anyone identified which software has been used?), apologies for being late to notice such issues. I think we should clarify how to handle auto-translations via policy/guideline or previous discussions. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 03:43, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

CAPTCHA Problem when creating an Account
I don't know how active Dave is at the moment, so I paste a message to Dave from User:Ireicher2: "Hi Dave, Isabel here from Ohlone college. We've talked a couple of times before. Some of my students emailed me to let me know that they cannot create user accounts because of a CAPTCHA problem. I verified the information by attempting to create a new account and I received the same error message. Would you let me know how this can be resolved? Thank you!"

One thing you might try is having them create Wikipedia or Wikibooks accounts. I believe membership in one automatically creates membership on Wikiversity. Another thing to try is asking students to create the account from their homes. Does anybody else have any ideas????--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 01:49, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I think w:Wikipedia:Request_an_account/Help_and_troubleshooting is related to this issue. It is a different project but shares the same technical basis. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 01:55, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
 * See Mass account creation. I'll try adding Account creators to User:Ireicher2 with an expiration of seven days and see if makes any difference. Yes, the suggestion that students create their accounts from home (or using their cell phones vs. school computers) should help. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 03:44, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

I need the custodians & curators to tell a user not to be involved with deletions.
Here are two examples:
 * 1) He put a speedy delete on special:permalink/2617505, saying among other things that there is "no clear explanation" of what ordinary differential equations are". This is a subpage, and the parent page at special:permalink/2483117 gives a rather coherent explanation: "Differential equations serve as mathematical models of physical processes. This course is intended to be an introduction to ordinary differential equations and their solutions. A differential equation (DE) is an equation relating a function to its derivatives. If the function is of only one variable, we call the equation an ordinary differential equation (ODE). ... There is a movement to raise the standards regarding what should and should not be in namespace, but the the parent page at special:permalink/2483117 has 13 subpages. If this resource is a problem, it has to be addressed from the top down, not one subpage at a time.  As will be shown in the next example, I recently attempted to explain to him that it is inefficient to remove subpages without looking at the entire resource (via the parent page.)
 * 2) Days prior to the aforementioned effort to delete a subpage of Differential equations, he proposed the deletion of one of some 300 subpages of Student Projects because it was unsourced. My reason for not deleting that page should have informed him that it would have been inappropriate to delete one subpage of Differential equations, because it turns out that almost all subpages of Student Projects are unsourced, leaving us with the same issue involving the deletion of pages from the "bottom-up". For evidence that this user had been informed of the need for a "top-down" approach attempting to delete a subpage of Differential equations, see special:permalink/2617342. This editor is a nice person with a lot of good ideas, but his stubbornness is making it difficult to moderate Requests for Deletion--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 14:15, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't want this user blocked, or even banned from participating in discussions about deletion policy. He is not alone in advocating higher standard, and the community might want to do that.  But there is a distinction between the nuts and bolts of deletion, and deletion as a policy.  I am very conservative about deleting pages. So if the standards get tightened, there will be no need to revert anything I have done.  I am asking the custodians/curators to encourage this user to go to WV:WGW2024 and create a subpage for sharing his ideas with the community.--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 14:41, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

- - -
 * 1) The "unsourced" on Student Projects/Major rivers in India was only one reason; the other reason was that this page has nothing to add what is not in Wikipedia, a rationale previously recognized. 2) Student Projects/Major rivers in India is not integrated in any way to a Student Projects "project"; its being a subpage is just an attempt to escape deletion scrutiny. 3) I am not aware of any explanation to me that I should not nominate subpages; such an explanation has my talk page as a proper venue, and I am unaware of any such explanation, neither there or elsewhere. 4) Any disagreement about deletion can be resolved via RFD and via voting-cum-discussion there, as is usual in other projects, e.g. the English Wikipedia and the English Wiktionary; if I am mistaken in a particular nomination, it can be brought to RFD and quickly voted down. Even a single person opposing can prevent a deletion in which I am the sole, mistaken, deletion supporter. 5) I have a pretty good conversion rate between deletion nominations and actual deletions/moving out of mainspace, and therefore, I do not think that my nomination algorithm is too broad and too burdensome on those who have to oppose my nominations for deletions. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 14:26, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
 * All I am asking is that you stay out of active deletions and focus your talent on changing the policy. A great place to do that is at WV:WGW2024 Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 14:51, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I invite you to my talk page to make requests concerning change of behavior on my part. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 14:52, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Resolved We have corresponded in our talk pages and the problem has been resolved to my satisfaction.--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 18:15, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Induced stem cells copyright issues
Induced stem cells got imported to here from enWiki- which is fine, attribution was done correctly and everything- except for the fact that I'm just wrapping up a copyright investigation on the original contributor & his alternative account. Due to the fact that this contributor repeated and blatantly infringed on the copyright of multiple sources despite multiple warnings an even a block, I tagged the original page over on enWiki for presumptive deletion. I don't know what Wikiversity's process is for suspected copyright infringements without a clear source, but I figured you guys would want to know about the problems with this page anyways. -- ~ GreenLipstickLesbian (discuss • contribs) 20:34, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Very helpful, thanks. Do you have any relevant links to en.wp about the investigation or where he typically ripped off material? —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 23:48, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Okay- everthing I've gathered so far is going to be in this investigation page. ( tried to link it in the original post, but I failed spectacularly as you can see). They almost exclusively copied from scientific papers/ reviews, and news/blog reports. This user typically copied from the source they cited- or, at least, *a* source they cited. They'd regularly copy a paragraph of text from one source, then a cite a different source for each sentence. If a source was paywalled, they often would cite the source, but copy from a news report/blog report analyzing the source. One of the other investigators found a few instances where they copied another article in Wikipedia without attribution- but that was their rarest type of violation. They occasionally wrote their own material, but it was normally easily identifiable because English is not their first language.
 * Sorry for not being more helpful on this article in particular-I saw they(and their alt) were essentially the sole author of this page, cited 300+ sources, made a noise somewhat akin to that of a distressed animal, and decided I was going to take advantage of enWiki's rule allowing us to delete articles written by serial copyright violators without any more evidence. --GreenLipstickLesbian (discuss • contribs) 00:09, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * That’s plenty to convince me that this should be assumed to be a copy II until proven otherwise. Merci. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:16, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the responses, I think having a short intro, soft redirect to the CCI page, further readings section, and categories would be OK, what would you think about this? MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 01:56, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Sure. Do you want me to undelete and then redelete selected diffs? Or you’ll just create the redirect yourself? —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:10, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I will create a soft redirect afterward. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 02:29, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the information, do you think WikiJournal Preprints/Induced stem cells needs deletion? It is another page where the same editor has substantial involvement. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 01:58, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I did a brief check, and I found that this source (cited in the article) appears to have been partially copied. Specifically, the stuff about zebrafish has been copied word for word. It's not a promising sign. If this was on the English Wiki, I would ask for it to be presumptively deleted soley on the basis of the author and that confirmed instance of a copyright violation. I worked on the investigation for several days (and I was the one who asked for it to be opened), and I could confirm over half their writing to be blatant copy-and-paste jobs. GreenLipstickLesbian (discuss • contribs) 03:08, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your service, hermana. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:38, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the information, I have contacted an active Wikijournal contributor to learn about how this preprint should be handled. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 02:05, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you to GreenLipstickLesbian for informing us about the copyright violations and reference false attribution in this article, and Koavf & MathXplore in participating in this conversation. Normally we would keep rejected articles in the preprint with the stated reason in the talk page for record purpose. However, since the induced stem cell contains copyright violation and may cause future accidental copyright violation by future text re-users under the assumption that the text is under Creative Commons license, I will request that the preprint be deleted while talk page remains undeleted to note the rationale.  OhanaUnited  Talk page  20:00, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Good point. In addition to not deleting the talk page, I am redirecting the main page to the talk page and protecting it. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:07, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @Koavf Can you also delete WikiJournal Preprints/Induced stem cells, redirecting it to talk page please?  OhanaUnited  Talk page  04:03, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Creating a section of my own talk page with a link to Wikipedia
I'm trying to set up my own talk page here at Wikiversity with my own example of trying separate the essence and accident of programming, as per No Silver Bullet at Wikipedia, but it's rejected because of the external link (i.e. to Wikipedia). I'm doing this because most example code I see buries the essence in the accident and I wanted to show an example that there are better ways to write code. Philh-591 (discuss • contribs) 10:33, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

 * That's very weird: you can't create interwiki links? And to be clear, you're trying to put said links on your talk page at User talk:Philh-591, not your userpage User:Philh-591? —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 12:05, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Well, your creation of the page with a welcome message has got it past that restriction, although I don't think it was the Wikipedia link. I'd not noticed that there are URL's in my example source referring to public information at the European Central Bank.  However, it now insistently applies "nowiki" to what I insert.  I guess I don't understand the formatting rules at Wikiversity; I'd assumed it was just like Wikipedia.  I'll see if I can understand it more playing in the sandbox.  Philh-591 (discuss • contribs) 13:13, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I figured that would fix the problem: sometimes, creating a new page (even your own user or user talk page) has restrictions. I forget the exact limitations per wiki, but they are usually very modest, like make at least five edits across two weeks or something. Re: formatting rules, they should be the same as Wikipedia, so I'm confused as to what you're trying to do again. :/ —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 13:25, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Gyro. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Gyro~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)

Assistant teacher program for asylum seekers

Assistant teacher program for asylum seekers
The assistant teacher program for asylum seekers is the proposal to use the Wikiversity assistant teacher program as an educational program for asylum seekers and refugees.

A premise is that asylum seekers without sufficient secondary education can be obligated to participate in the program for several years after entering a country. Participating asylum seekers can receive a student loan in order to be able to pay tuition fees but with the concession to repay the student loan only according to capability.

A further sensible obligation appears to be that asylum seekers could have to accept work assignments during and after the educational program as teaching assistants in the country of residence but with the personal option of international mobility, both as preparation and as measure to allow repayment of the tuition fees.

Asylum seekers who have successfully received a better education may be able and willing to migrate to other countries, potentially freeing resources for other participants. The rationale is that teachers from developed countries, who may be unwilling to live in one of the least developed countries for several years , could teach participants from developing countries who may then be capable to make a living and contribute to the development of a developing country, possibly as teaching assistants, primary school teachers or even as middle school teachers. A school implementing the program could hire participants as teaching assistants after the training but demand a degree of international mobility.

Work as a teacher could also include work as a private teacher or internet tutor/mentor. A rationale for the furthered integration of asylum seekers and refugees (or migrants in general) in schools can be the promotion of intercultural competence of the school as organization and community.

Asylum seekers in Germany often lack a work permit but could/can attend a school (e.g. folk high school and Abendgymnasium).

Mentoring

 * "Mentoring is a tool for helping children and youth succeed in life. Although nearly 17.6-million young Americans need or want a mentor, only about three million are in formal, high-quality mentoring relationships. That means nearly 15-million young people (in the USA) are still in need today." MENTOR
