== WPOR Collaboration of the Week == |
|||
Greetings [[WP:ORE|WPOR]] member, we are starting a weekly collaboration project where we will announce two articles that are currently stubs that we hope to work together to improve. No pressure to help, but if you would like to, just stop by one of the articles and see if you can find information to expand the article with, copy edit what is there, help with formatting, or add some images. This week’s articles are: '''[[Alis volat propriis]]''' and '''[[Fusitriton oregonensis]]'''. [[User:Aboutmovies|Aboutmovies]] 22:33, 13 August 2007 (UTC) |

== WPOR Collaboration of the Week == |
|||
Greetings [[WP:ORE|WikiProject Oregon]] employees. Well a big thanks to all those who helped improve [[Alis volat propriis]] and [[Fusitriton oregonensis]] last week. This week’s Stub improvement are: [[Government of Oregon]] which should be easy, and [[Miss Oregon]]. Again, no pressure to help with the collaboration, choose one, both, or neither. Also, feel free to opt out of the notifications at the new page dedicated to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon/Collaboration|collaborative efforts at WPOR]] (newsletter is in R&D).

== WPOR Collaboration of the Week == |
|||
Hello again [[WP:ORE|WikiProject Oregon]] team members, its time for the next Collaboration of the Week. First a shout out to [[User:Sprkee|Sprkee]] for putting together some templates for this project. Now, in honor of Labor Day weekend and the outdoor nature of the activities that often accompany the three-day weekend, this week’s item is to de-redlink as many parks from the '''[[List of Oregon State Parks]]'''. Some may even by going to one of these places, a great opportunity to take a picture or two for an article. As always, participation is not required, though it is appreciated. And if you are caught, we will disavow any knowledge of your existence. Since we don’t want to waste any effort through duplication, please make a note on the [[Talk:List of Oregon State Parks|talk page]] of which park article you are going to start. Again to opt out or suggest future collaborative efforts [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon/Collaboration|click here]]. Good day! [[User:Aboutmovies|Aboutmovies]] 19:42, 30 August 2007 (UTC) |

== September WPOR Collaboration of the Week == |
|||
First off, great job to all [[WP:ORE|WikiProject Oregon]] folks for last week’s [[List of Oregon State Parks]] work. We pounded out six new state park articles: [[Sarah Helmick State Recreation Site|Sarah Helmick]], [[Bald Peak State Scenic Viewpoint|Bald Peak]], [[Bob Straub State Park|Bob Straub]], [[Sumpter Valley Gold Dredge]], [[Tumalo State Park|Tumalo]], and [[Peter Skene Ogden State Scenic Viewpoint|Peter Skene Ogden]]. Plus numerous other edits to improve the existing articles. As a reward, we are introducing the COTW award {{tl|WPOR COTW award}}, and this time it goes to [[User:Woodstein52]] for starting three of the articles. |
|||
On to this week. We are back to the usual two Top importance Stubs: '''[[Sunstone]]''' and '''[[Oregon, My Oregon]]'''. Both are stub pluses, so it shouldn’t take much to upgrade them both. Again to opt out or suggest future collaborative efforts [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon/Collaboration|click here]]. Good day! [[User:Aboutmovies|Aboutmovies]] 22:42, 9 September 2007 (UTC) |
|||
== WPOR Collaboration: 09172007 == |
|||
All righty WPOR ladies and gentleman, great job last week with our state song and gemstone. I have bumped them up to Start class. I haven’t looked at the contributions, so the COTW award will be later. |
|||
This week’s articles are '''[[Darlene Hooley]]''', by special request, and another Top stub, our very own state rock, the '''[[Thunderegg]]'''. Yes, apparently we have a state rock and state gemstone. No word on whether there is a state stone too. Hooley basically needs some sources to make it to the next level. Again to opt out or suggest future collaborative efforts [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon/Collaboration|click here]]. In the words of Beaver Joe, whoop!

Revision as of 18:03, 17 October 2007
|
This user talk page was created as part of the 1013 Project. It was used by one of the members of an introductory composition class at the University of Minnesota. The project was active from April 16 to May 9, 2007, and has now been archived at User:1013-josh/archive. This user may or may not still be active on Wikipedia. |
1013 Project: Archived Here
I started this user account to facilitate a class project on Wikipedia. From April 16 to May 9, 2007, my class of composition students at the University of Minnesota created or expanded 22 articles relating to the broad course theme "nature and environment." I have moved all notes relating to the class project to User:1013-josh/archive. Later this summer, when I have some free time, I will write up a summary of the project, as well as some notes for other instructors about what I would do differently next time. In the meantime, you can poke through the archive for the course syllabus, homework assignments, and other information.
Thanks to the students for their hard work and thanks to the more experienced Wikipedia community members who stopped by to help as we learned our way around.
If you'd like to share your thoughts on how the project went, feel free to email me using the link in the toolbox to the left of this page, or leave a note on this page. I will use your comments in writing up my evaluation of the project. (I may not respond immediately, as I am traveling for most of the summer.) 1013-josh 14:56, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Article topics
Here is a list of the articles we worked on. These articles represent the collaborative work of students in an introductory composition class, who had no experience with Wikipedia prior to the four-week unit.
