Course page on evaluating an article

Eryk, thanks for your response here. (I didn't want to reply on that page since it had already been archived -- I took a Wiki break over the holidays, so didn't see your response until today.) In terms of prompts for students evaluating the reliability of articles, in the library world a lot of folks use the CRAAP test. This is, I think, one of the original formulations, and here's an update. Those questions aren't perfectly suited to a Wikipedia article, but I think the general areas apply well. And could even be used in an exercise where students evaluate not the article but first the sources used in a Wikipedia article. Again, thanks for your response!

VisualEditor

I have made a few changes to your training materials. The location of the prefs switch was wrong (for the English Wikipedia; it's correct for, say, the French Wikipedia), and I added links. Please feel free to remove them if links won't work in your context. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 19:03, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Experience Editing Wikipedia with GIS3614 Feminist Theory

Thank you for reaching out about sharing my experience with editing "Feminist Digital Humanities" as part of Professor Koh's course this year. I would be happy to be share with your blog and appreciate the opportunity! I just emailed you with a response. Thanks, Alicia Pileggi (talk)

Hi. I was a bit surprised by these two edits. Perhaps you should take it up with Tryptofish, in particular, in that he has spent a lot of time on the page that you call "outdated." If it really is outdated, then I suggest you either bring it up to date or add a suitable template. --jbmurray (talkcontribs) 06:01, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My thanks to jbmurray for noticing these edits and asking about them. I do not consider ASSIGN to literally be outdated, but if there is something to update, then let's do that. I think that ASSIGN actually reflects the views of the Wikipedia editing community as a whole somewhat better than, at least historically, pages and training modules from WikiEd have done. Therefore, I'd like to see more links to it, not fewer. However, there probably could be better ways to link it. In particular, the one at Course pages seems a bit Easter eggy to me. If we disagree, perhaps this should be discussed with more editors, at WP:ENB. --Tryptofish (talk) 16:08, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Jbmurray and Tryptofish: You're right - I removed those links in error and was just coming back now to revert my own edits, sorry you had to do it for me. Eryk (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:20, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Women's studies handout

Hey Eryk, just wanted to let you know that I updated the brochure, with these edits, largely because I think its missing some of the more "humanities" oriented solutions for getting students engaged. Topics like individual novels, pieces of performance art, or books of important scholarly or critical theory are very easy to write as new editors, and includes the arts and literary studies more: something that I think you all have been strategically moving towards. Hope it helps! Sadads (talk) 16:50, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Sadads: Thanks so much! And in time for them to make it to print. :) Eryk (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:15, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
