    Nominations for WEF Board

    As well as a new RFC, I think it's high time that we started nominating members for the WEF Board.

    As the WEF has constituted itself, it has suggested that there are three slots on the board reserved for Wikipedians nominated by the community. I propose two names below, and hope that they would accept these nominations. I would be interested to hear others. Self-nominations are welcome. Once we know how many nominees there are, we can decide how to proceed (via elections or whatever).

    Update: following User:Wadewitz's appointment to the board, while this community process was ongoing, it's not clear if the WEF Board sees there as being two or three "Wikipedian" slots open. In the end, however, I suggest that this is really down to the community not to the WEF. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 09:23, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    ===User:Colin===

    • User:Colin. Colin is, as we all know, passionate and informed about the Education Program. He is critical of the way in which it has been implemented, but I think the Board needs to integrate constructive criticism into its procedures. He is also an editor who has focussed on Medical articles, and it is obvious that such articles are a particular flashpoint for discussions about the program. Finally, he is eminently rational and reasonable, thoughtful and articulate. His contributions the discussion of the program on Wikipedia are always well-judged (and I say this as someone who doesn't tend to agree with them). I think he would be a splendid addition to the board. Proposed by --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 18:40, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Discussion

    Sorry, I've not been able to keep up with this board this week. And that's my main problem. I just don't have the free time needed for this. Also, my passion is no substitute for experience and I have no experience helping with these classes and directly dealing with students and profs. -- Colin°Talk 09:05, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Understood. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 09:23, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Biosthmors

    • User:Biosthmors. I don't think that anyone, on the WEF board or off it, has shown more enthusiasm and energy for discussions of the Education Program on Wikipedia. He is an experienced online ambassador, who has a long history of working with the program. He is continually and tirelessly making proposals and engaged in debate. Again, this is not somebody with whom I find myself consistently in agreement, but I feel that the WEF urgently needs board members who are active and energetic, on Wikipedia as well as off. I think that he, too, would be a splendid addition to the board's ranks. Proposed by --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 18:40, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Discussion

    • Comment. I just saw this and haven't even had the time to read it all because I'm replying to another discussion about the education program, but at this point I'm not sure how I feel about being nominated. I'll have to think about it. Biosthmors (talk) pls notify me (i.e. {{U}}) while signing a reply, thx 11:54, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    ===User:Wadewitz===

    • User:Wadewitz is a Wikipedian almost without equal in her production of Featured Articles and her reviews and feedback on others. She is also, by common consent, among the most successful (if not the most successful) of educators who have integrated Wikipedia into their classes. Moreover, having Wadewitz on the board provides a link to other important initiatives such as HASTAC and FemTechNet. She is, finally, a person of utmost integrity and good sense--with whom I personally find myself almost always in agreement. I fear she may not accept this nomination, but very much hope that she does. She would be an important and game-changing member of the WEF Board. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 18:57, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Discussion

    Appointed by the WEF Board on November 25, 2013.

    Kevin Gorman

    • I'm one of few people to have participated in almost every aspect of the program; I've been a CA, an OA, an instructor, and a Wikipedian. This year I'll be embarking on a project at UC Berkeley to better integrate Wikipedia in to higher education, specifically in underrepresented disciplines. I believe this program has phenomenomal potential to set a functional model for other schools to emulate - a model that would shift the burden of the program to the schools, and away from the community. I see the problems the educational program has caused the community - especially the medical editors - and I want to figure out how to sort them out while still having a productive EP. I look at the WEF as the surface of contact between academia and the Wikipedia community rather than the USEP's controller, and I believe (and have always believed) that the ENWP community has the potential to sanction education program classes. At times, I have strongly supported such measures. I've interacted with all groups involved in the program including educational technologists, senior administrators, instructors, professors, various bureaucrats, the education folks at the Foundation (including Jami who is now WEF,) and the community at large. I've consistently been a presence at ENB, and although some people have not always liked my answers, I've at least always been here. Kevin Gorman (talk) 17:35, 26 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Doc James

    I am interested in joining the board of the WEF. Have been involved with student editing projects in a number of capacities including speaking at half a dozen universities on Wikipedia and Medicine over the last three years.[1] Am involved with the efforts at UCSF [2] and am on the clinical faculty at the University of British Columbia in the Department of Emergency Medicine.[3] Additionally was one of the founding members of Wikimedia Canada and Wikiproject Med Foundation so have a bit of experience with non profits. Additionally I attend Wikimania self funded every year and plan to continue to do so. Would be good to have face to face meeting their.

    • Strong, enthusiastic support. I am very enthusiastic about this nomination. He is very knowledgeable, and understands both "sides" of the issues. I think it would be very important to have him as a member. --Tryptofish (talk) 16:58, 26 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    General Discussion

    Jbmurray, thanks for starting these nominations -- we are actively considering these and other candidates. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 15:17, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    I presume you're not considering any other candidates for the Wikipedian slots. But it's good to hear that you're working on getting the other slots filled, too. Presumably you'll explain the transparent process that you've decided on for how to fill these other slots when the time comes. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 15:34, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    We have been sent other names as suggestions; and others have self-nominated -- in both cases I'm referring to the Wikipedian slot. Having names suggested and supported by the community is important, even if we don't have an elections process yet, and I'm glad to have this section here. We're also looking at the non-Wikipedian slots, and are considering the names you suggested there. The short version of the process for next summer is that it will probably be some kind of on-wiki election. Speaking strictly for myself, since the board hasn't discussed this in any detail yet, I'd like to use self-nomination with either a simple vote of support process, or, if there's a reason to do so, something more like the Arbcom process, which has secret ballots. Haven't given any serious thought yet to which is better but would like to see discussion here. Also I suspect there should be some minimum activity level to be able to vote or run, as there is for ArbCom. If you have any thoughts on how the elections should be run, please share them. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 22:58, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, I'm presuming that the process by which nominations take place is decided on Wikipedia, by Wikipedians. I see no reason why the WEF Board should determine this. That would be totally bizarre. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 23:14, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    False notification

    Tracked in Phabricator
    Task T63488

    I see a notification from an hour ago that says User:RegOH edited Education Program talk:Saint Louis University/BIOL 460: Developmental Biology (Spring 2014) when they did not. I suppose this is some sort of bug? Best. Biosthmors (talk) pls notify me (i.e. {{U}}) while signing a reply, thx 21:53, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    @Biosthmors: That's odd. What exactly does the notification say?--Sage Ross (WMF) (talk) 22:25, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    "The course talk page of BIOL 460: Developmental Biology (Spring 2014) was edited by RegOH. 2 hours ago" Links appear on the notification to the course talk page and to RegOH's user page. Best. Biosthmors (talk) pls notify me (i.e. {{U}}) while signing a reply, thx 23:04, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Not sure what's going on. I'll file a bug and keep an eye out. If anyone else experiences something similar, please let me know.--Sage Ross (WMF) (talk) 13:49, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I received the same notification. Presumably it went to instructors and ambassadors for the course? Biolprof (talk) 20:53, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    User:Biolprof: The course talk notifications are designed to send a Notification to everyone participating in the class (students, volunteers, instructors) whenever something gets posted to the course talk page. So it probably went out to the students as well. We can't figure out what would have triggered it, though. RegOH made an edit to the talk page of Werner syndrome at around the time of Biosthmors' Notification, but we can't think of how that could have triggered it. If RegOH has any additional info about what they were doing around the time of that edit (especially, anything involving the course talk page) that would be helpful.--Sage Ross (WMF) (talk) 14:28, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    @Biosthmors and Biolprof: What is the url of the "view changes" link for that notification? That might help us track down the cause.--Sage Ross (WMF) (talk) 14:16, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    There is no view changes link in the notification, the only to links were to either "User:RegOH" or "Education Program talk:Saint Louis University/BIOL 460: Developmental Biology (Spring 2014)". Best. Biosthmors (talk) pls notify me (i.e. {{U}}) while signing a reply, thx 20:30, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    The complete and current text is "The course talk page of BIOL 460: Developmental Biology (Spring 2014) was edited by RegOH. 5 days ago". Best. Biosthmors (talk) pls notify me (i.e. {{U}}) while signing a reply, thx 20:32, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I spoke to RegOH and she has no ideas about this. Other students in the class did not get the notification. Biolprof (talk) 15:22, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Thanks, both of you. I'm stumped, but please let me know if anyone else notices similar false notifications.--Sage Ross (WMF) (talk) 15:26, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    idea: showing who is supporting each course

    We currently have courses supported by Wiki Education Foundation in the US and Canada, some UK courses supported by Wikimedia UK, some courses that are working on their own and using course pages, and in the future we may see other education programs elsewhere supporting courses. I think it would be good to show which organization (if any) is supporting which course, when they get linked here or at the /Incidents board. I made a template for doing that, like so: Education Program:Example University/Example Course (2014 Q1) . If users of this board think that's useful, I will try to set up a bot to automatically update links (here and at WP:ENI) to show that info.--Sage Ross (WMF) (talk) 14:28, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Could WikiProjects accept oversight of classes and request that problems be addressed to their board? Is it correct that this is just a template on the link, and you have not proposed to signal the overseeing organization on the course page? Blue Rasberry (talk) 20:32, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Anything is possible. The template I threw together as a start just looks up a specific subpage of the linked course (if it exists) and transcludes content from there. That would flexible enough that whoever is supporting courses could decide what it says for their courses. I think some changes to the course page template itself — maybe an infobox showing who is supporting the course — would also be useful (and easy to implement).--Sage Ross (WMF) (talk) 20:44, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I like the idea of the information being there. Biosthmors (talk) pls notify me (i.e. {{U}}) while signing a reply, thx 20:34, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Wikimedia NYC folks have been unofficially supporting local classes too, and it would be great if we could have some acknowledgment of that as well, while of course keeping the place of Wiki Education Foundation as the primary supporter of the US and Canada program.--Pharos (talk) 01:02, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I've put together a bot script for this, and posted a request for bot approval: Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/RagesossBot.--Sage Ross (WMF) (talk) 14:22, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    The bot as been a approved for a trial, so I'll be trying it out this week. At the moment, there aren't actually any links to course pages, so it won't do anything yet.--Sage Ross (WMF) (talk) 14:36, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    The bot is bored because we haven't had any links to course pages here or at ENI. So, just to humor it: Template:Course link.--Sage Ross (WMF) (talk) 18:25, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    I'm a bit wary about giving rights to someone who doesn't seem to be working as a professor. If you're planning to work as a Campus Ambassador, then by all means, I will give you the rights, but until then, I don't see a reason to give it to you. That being said, if you can provide concrete class names and whatnot, as well as involve professors who have usernames that can be listed here, then that would also help. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 16:58, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I have worked for 25 years as a freelance trainer in the IT field with groups of an average of 6 to 30 people. I can not quite understand where you have doubts, yet I'm trying to use this tool as adjuvant for the project. I am a member of the Swiss Chapter and have announced this training at the German Chapter, because there is no Luxembourg Chapter and the training will be held in German. In mid-January, I had a two-hour prologue with a hundred teachers of this school. Clausthal (talk) 18:30, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    GastelEtzwane, do you know this person? I am always happy to support the Swiss chapter. It is just a matter of process that we ask why people want the tools because a lot of people have jumped into the education program knowing nothing about Wikipedia, making a work burden for volunteers to fix. I hope that you appreciate that we mean well by having this process in place. You seemed like a new user for English Wikipedia and I did not recognize that you had Wikipedia experience before you described it. If you have any questions about English Wikipedia or the education program then I could help you if you get the tools, but first, we need two people to sign on for you. Blue Rasberry (talk) 23:21, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello, the short answer is no, I may not know this person. The long answer is that I might know him in person, but I do not recognise off hand either one of his user names (User:Clausthal or de:Benutzer:Lantus). He is a German speaking editor, and I almost never contribute on the German Wikipedia, and I have few contacts with the German speaking editors. I am still a relatively new board member, and I am getting to know the other Swiss wikipedians. This is something we are working on in Switzerland, and it is also one of my personal priorities: increasing contacts and networking among our three major national language communities.
    I will forward your message to the board, and other board members will be able to vouch for him. Best regards. GastelEtzwane (talk) 07:53, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Return to the Course pages module.

    Hi,
    concerning the name confusion of this user check out the user page User:Clausthal. It explains that the original, SUL user User:Lantus has been occupied in en:wp, so he can't use it here.
    About Lantus / Clausthal: Well known Wikipedia volunteer both in Germany and Switzerland. He is originally german where I meet him several times as one of the forces behind the regular Saarland meet-ups. Now he is living in Switzerland, became a member of Wikimedia CH and is a regular visitor at the Zürich meet-ups and WMCH activities in the german-speaking part of Switzerland. So he is very well-known also to the swiss community that participates in real-life meetings and projects and our community manager.
    Concerning workshops: Lantus has been doing workshops for several years now especially in schools (not universities - so asking to be a professior doesn't seem suitable for me in this context) and we are aware due to his reports that he has started to become active in Luxembourg. He is doing these projects without formal or financial support by the chapter but the schools invited him and hopefully reimburse for his travel. --Manuel Schneider(bla) (+/-) 08:21, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    In addition, here is the photo of my lesson I hold in Luxembourg in front of about 100 Luxembourg teachers. Some of them avoid Wikipedia because it is written by non-academical people. It is my opportunity to change this false image. Clausthal (talk) 08:50, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Yeah, I was actually just looking at this when you messaged me, and I see no reason not to, as I was just wary that they wanted to use the rights to conduct a quasi-course with a bunch of instructors, without fully realizing how much work it could take. I'll go ahead and grant them the rights now. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 17:43, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Question about new course pages

    Hello (probably Sage). I am curious if the new course pages allow for categorization. I would hope all would be placed in a category such as Category:Course pages by default, for example. Thanks. Biosthmors (talk) pls notify me (i.e. {{U}}) while signing a reply, thx 15:52, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    I expect that categories will work on the eventual replacement system (mw:Editor campaigns) that supplant our current course pages. (If we find an easy way to make them work with the current system in the meantime, we'll do so, although that's not a high priority.)--Sage Ross (WMF) (talk) 15:55, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Regional identity

    I made two changes to the landing page at WP:WEP. One is that I added a link to this noticeboard because I wanted this to be a general forum to discuss anything related to the education program if someone does not know where else to go. I think that it already is serving this purpose.

    Another is that I removed the text "U.S. and Canada" and replaced it with "All welcome!" I did this because this board and the entire project already have a history of serving and not excluding participants without discriminating by country, and because the Wikipedia community in general does not discriminate by country.

    I know that there is an independent non-profit organization based in the United States which has some organizational mission to emphasize the United States and Canada, but I feel like the Wikipedia community's standing position is that resources hosted on Wikipedia and volunteer communities are by default to be offered to everyone, and then if any group is to be discouraged then this should happen with community input.

    I made this change because I am inviting people in England to participate. From my perspective, they share the same English Wikipedia that I use and I want them to feel comfortable at this board. If the non-profit needs to focus its efforts on the United States and Canada then I would ask that this preferably happen in ways that do not deter people wandering around Wikipedia from seeking help here. Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:48, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Thanks. I'm not sure why we need to keep the fancy formatting. And is it even accurate to imply that the WEF represents Wikipedia? The old RfC was acrimonious, so why would "wp:the community" grant this privilege? I'm under the impression that the education program is whatever Wikipedians say it is. Biosthmors (talk) pls notify me (i.e. {{U}}) while signing a reply, thx 19:09, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I think it would be good to include other countries (we've included Mexico in this for years), and we could probably even expand it more if needed, as I know that there is interest with Piotrus in Korea for doing something there as well. Hopefully with the new non-profit, we'll be able to expand to around the world in no time. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 05:50, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes all countries are welcome. Many of us have done outreach in a few different ones. National boundaries are not the most useful IMO Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 05:58, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Projects for younger pupils - a new wiki has just opened

    Hi there,

    After it has existed for several years in other languages, now open Vikidia in English :-). See Vikidia in English opens today, let’s build a children wiki encyclopedia! and the wiki itself: http://en.vikidia.org

    We write in it that: "Young people can also be involved within educational activities organised by schools. They will gain some digital media literacy by learning about the functioning of a resource they will use extensively a few years later, namely Wikipedia. Although the goal is still the “knowledge resource” benefit of such a project: school projects are welcome provided they consider the rules and content objectives of the wiki."

    I guess that this page mainly focus on Wikipedia-editing in higher education. However, I believe that you shouldn't wait to be 18 or 20 to be offered active learning methods... and that the "wikis in the classroom" experiences and possibilities not only fit to higher education students but for younger pupils provided there is a place where they can integrate their work. That's how such a wiki could ebhance the scope for wikis projects. You may also read this post, originally written by a retired teacher that was involved in the Freinet movement and insist on the need for a living documentary resource that fit well to children. I hope that this message will give you some ideas, fell free to join us and.or to spread the massage ! Astirmays (talk) 22:20, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    LiAnna Davis and WEF update

    Hi. It's just been announced via email that LiAnna is to be employed by the WEF. Nothing here, however. Perhaps it's time (indeed, well overdue) for a bit of an update as to what the WEF has been up to over the past few months. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 22:13, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    I'm curious as well. I used to receive emails by merit of being a regional ambassador from Jami with her WMF email address, but I don't think I've had much (any?) contact in months.

    Hi, thanks a lot for your interest.
    • LiAnna: Currently, LiAnna is not an employee of the Wiki Education Foundation. In general, we'll report our hirings in our monthly reports.
    • WEF status update: We are planning to publish monthly reports at the beginning of each new month (within the first 7–10 days). Our first monthly report (covering February 2014) will be shared publicly in a few days from now.
    • Emails from Jami: I'll notify Jami of this discussion and ask her to check whether you should have received any information.

    Bios, I have also been in the same boat up here, but we've had enough traffic up here that I am not worrying about it too much. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 05:58, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi, guys. Now that my notifications and watchlist have been rendered practically useless :) (signed on to too many courses), I'll make sure I start coming here again more regularly. As Frank mentioned, now that he's on board, we'll start publishing reports to keep you and anyone who is interested updated on our activities. In general, as is the case in the beginning of all terms, I have been on-boarding classes and working on some other projects that we'll talk about in this month's report. Bios, there aren't any classes in your region right now, though this is precisely why I'm hoping we can reevaluate the RA team by next term so as to make sure everyone gets to do the work they want to do. I know you're working closely with some classes as OAs, and I trust you haven't needed any support from me with those—please, of course, email or ping me on my talk page if you ever do!
