Peddie School block

[edit]

Netsnipe:

I am senior (4th year) at the Peddie School. On behalf of the Peddie community, I apologize for our continued vandalism. I have contacted the dean of students about this issue pointing out the several acts of vandalism and the 6 month ban.

I completely agree with a ban, but I disagree with your decision to ban us for 6 months. Peddie students are the Wikipedians of tomorrow. If Peddie is banned for 6 months, students will learn that Wikipedia is a non-editable website. How can students "be bold" in editing if they cannot edit?

Again, I'm sorry for the vandalism. If I could identify the student/students responsible, I could assure you that this would stop.

Thanks for your tireless contributions to wikipedia! -- Nburoojy 15:45, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The block only prevent anonymous editing (and hopefully the casual vandal). Students can continue to edit Wikipedia provided they create an account for themselves at home first or by emailing us using their school email address if they don't have internet access at home. --  Netsnipe  ►  15:50, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pittsburgh event for Wikipedia's tenth anniversary

[edit]

Hi! Since you have a connection to Pittsburgh, I wanted to invite you to the Wikipedia Tenth Anniversary celebrations we're having in Pittsburgh on Saturday, January 15. During the daytime, we're going to be having a photo contribution drive where anyone can bring in their digital photos or prints and Wikipedians will teach people how to upload them and add them to articles, and maybe introduction to Wikipedia workshops as well. Then in the evening, we'll have fun at the Carson City Saloon. There will be free Wikipedia t-shirts and other goodies, as well. See the Pittsburgh meetup page for more details. I hope to see you there!--ragesoss (talk) 15:55, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Teaching with Wikipedia Workshop at CMU (Aug 15)

[edit]

Since you are one of the editors in the Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: Carnegie Mellon University, I'd like to invite you to the Teaching with Wikipedia Workshop that will take place at CMU on Aug 15 (this workshop is open to general public, and is a joint imitative of CMU and Pitt). There will be another workshop held at Pitt in the Fall as well. It will cover how to include Wikipedia in one's course (WP:SUP) and also how to become a Wikipedia:Campus Ambassadors. Pennsylvania has currently only one ambassador (myself) and it would be great if we could recruit at least several more. Ambassadors help course instructors, showing them how Wikipedia works, and interact with students. Many current ambassadors come from the body of students, faculty and university staff; it is a fun adventure, and adds to one resume/CV, to boot :) If it sounds interesting, feel free to ask me any questions, or to come to the workshop.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 20:16, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
