Did you ever edit another user page than "yours" ?
From Wikiversity
This learning project starts with the question:
- Did you ever edit another user page than "yours" on any wikimedia project ?

[edit] reasons which might have played a role in your behaviour
[edit] when answering with: yes
- See also: Wikiversity:Be bold. There is no mine or yours here in wiki-verse : it is all ours (Mediawiki software offers when creating a new page for everyone the "edit this page"-button). See also Rousseau's quote about fences ("The first man who...") here
- I like it:
-
- It is easier editing other users pages than to accept that someone edits ones user page. Because that involves that you are able to handle e.g. critiques.
- I am a v.nd.l
- makes wiki life interesting, fosters contact with other Wikiversity participants
- I am offering a "service": reverting vandalism, fixing typos and/or links
- please add more
[edit] when answering with: no
- I recognize that another person has organised "their" user page in this way, which they find appropriate.
- If I don't understand or disagree with something (because it is not finally developped yet), I would bring it up on their talk page. Editing it to reflect my view would simply be provocative. "merciless editing" would perhaps scare off that user.
- I never thought of it - perhaps it is a boundary which I set myself though technically it is possible in a wiki ? (Mediawiki enables the "edit this page"-button right from the begin.)
- On the other wikimedia projects this is also not done and I just assumed that here it is the same ?
- I don't care about other user pages
- please add more
[edit] when answering with: yes and no
- please add more
[edit] other questions
- To whom does a user page belong ?
- IP user pages
-
- Is the perception on IP user pages different than "normal" user pages ? If so, why ?
- IP user pages are shared by different users - why not "normal" user pages ?
- What other pages could be brought to attention ?
- Might a page of a fictional user e.g., User:WikiversityJack be more likely to be edited by other users? I find this to be a rather strange, but interesting page. -- Jtneill - Talk 00:21, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- After a user page "owner" leaves us (R.I.P. Mirwin) who takes care of the user page, who visits it, brings flowers, who thinks of the user ... ? Is life after death possible ?
