Hi! I just saw your email inquiring about the Wikipedia Ambassador Program. I encourage you check out the Wikipedia:Ambassadors pages, where you can find assorted resources--and examples of current classes--that might be useful for your own classroom project.

And if you'd like to chat some time, by IRC or Skype or somesuch, let me know and we can figure out whether and how your plans can fit into the ambassador program. Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 18:04, 15 April 2011

Help me

{{helpme}} I'm a bit unsure about what to do with this page: Animal model of depression. I wrote on the talk page that I think a lot of the information is covered elsewhere in a general page on Animal model and on pages for specific animal tests (like Open Field (animal test), Forced swim test, Tail suspension test, Morris water navigation task). But this has led me to a larger issue as I'm also unsure about the intersection of Wikipedia:WikiProject Animal rights and Wikipedia:WikiProject Neuroscience/Wikipedia:WikiProject Psychology - Understandably the WPAR folks are staunchly pro-animal while I am an animal researcher that accepts the ethical treatment of lab animals. I want to produce articles about the specifics of animal models (like the open field article above) in the behavioral sciences that are NPOV and hopefully valuable to all above projects, but now I'm unsure how to organize such pages.

I'm not sure what your question is; I've just spent some time briefly reading over those articles - to familiarize myself with the topic a little. I can understand concerns over bias, neutrality, balance, and so on - which of course will be significant factors in articles in this area. But, I do not understand what you are asking re. how to organize pages.

I think the main point here is...just go for it. If you want to write articles (and add to existing ones), then go ahead.

I will leave the help request in place; it's possible another helper might have ideas - but otherwise, unless you have a more specific question, I'm not sure what to say; it seems you are aware of the importance of neutrality - so, great. Dive in, have a go; "worst case" is, someone will remove your edits - in which case, you can discuss it with them (see also WP:BRD). It's a wiki, so anything can be done, undone, redone, and so forth. Hope that helps a little; do feel free to ask me anything you like, any time, on my talk page. Best, Chzz ► 15:41, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Oh, and if you ever want to chat to me about any such matters, you can do so with this link. Chzz ► 15:44, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Chzz, to state my questions explicitly, "Should there be separate pages for animal models, animal models of depression, and individual tests used for animal research (some of which are used in animal models of depression)?" also, "Do articles about specific animal tests belong in WPAR?" I'm just trepidatious about making organizational changes for some reason. Maybe I'll just give it a shot. Thanks! --MTHarden (talk) 15:49, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It was nice chatting to you; do call in, any time

Just before you left, I was about to ask if you knew about 'user space drafts'. I'll show you here, what I mean:

If I put, right here, [[User:MTHarden/some draft page]] then it'll make a link to that page - which, as it does not yet exist, will be red - like so: User:MTHarden/some draft page

You could click that, and just type something, and save it.

Once it exists, the link here will be blue.

So - you could use pages like that to play around - especially useful if you're toying with splitting an article, or writing a new one, or whatever.

As long as your link starts with [[User:MTHarden/, then it's in your user-space. Others can see it, and edit it - but nobody will bother much, and you can experiment and build up new articles there (or copy over and rewrite existing ones).

You can make as many 'user space draft' pages as you like. An easy convenient way is, to list them (as links) on your user page. That way, you can easily get back to them, any time.

Hope that helps. Cheers, Chzz ► 16:14, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh - and, just to directly answer your question, above: if there is "significant coverage in reliable sources" about a topic, then yes, we should have an article on it. If there isn't, we shouldn't. WP:VRS gives a quick summary, and there's more detail in WP:N.

I'll cancel out this 'helpme' now, because hopefully your question has been answered. Feel free to use another, any time. Cheers, Chzz ► 16:17, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Messages from Students (Summer 2011)

I deleted the section that I added to the highway hypnosis article. My apologies I didn't know how to quote correctly apparently in an article. I don't know how to post the articles to this page here, but here are the names, highway hypnosis, Mental block, negativity effect, optimalism, paraphasia,and religious instinct.(AMJonesPT (talk) 22:43, 28 June 2011 (UTC)) I also added one, Paranoid Schizophrenia. How do we determine the importance of the article and what is the page namespace? (AMJonesPT (talk) 04:28, 29 June 2011 (UT I added a sandbox and I chose my article Optimalism (AMJonesPT (talk) 20:29, 1 July 2011 (UTC)) I wrote another critique on the optimalism article kind of as a way to show you how I am thinking to expand it. (AMJonesPT (talk) 21:37, 1 July 2011 (UTC)) Hello! I have completed week 2 assignments. Thanks!! (MKTownley (talk) 05:41, 29 June 2011 (UTC)).[reply]

I completed my week two assignment and provided information on my second choice on my page. Jlloyd1122 (talk) 19:32, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Mary Hunt here who is having a wonderful time figuring this stuff out. I think I have so far but not to sure. I gave a suggestion on night terrors on how they can improve the article on the discussion page, then researched 3 topics night terrors, mood swings, and caffeine- induced sleep disorder. Asked 2 students for comments, and added new info w/ source citing on night terrors- i don't quite know where to go to see all this you im sure do, and then I went ahead and chose my topic and that is Night Terrors. Thank You!!!!!--Mkhunt (talk) 17:41, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
