Abd's edit

(cross-posted from my talk page.)

Hi Professor, thank you for using Wikiversity in your classes, and for alerting me to the edit on my talk page. I've reviewed Abd's edit on your lesson plan, and I fully agree that it was an error. I'm sorry for any disruption this caused in your classes, and I'm glad you were able to restore the correct version of the page within just a few hours.

I notice the edit was a rollback - these are quick edits, executed without a preview, and generally used to review large lists of recent changes in order to protect resources. I'm sure this particular rollback was not intended to affect your teaching and Abd did not mean to vandalise your page; however, I will discuss the edit with him as part of our ongoing mentorship. You may also wish to raise the matter directly. I can assure you that we do not have a 'custodian-vandal' here and this was simply the result of inadvertence.

If this does not resolve the matter to your satisfaction, or if there is anything else I can assist you with, please do not hesitate to contact me on my talk page. --Draicone ^(talk) 14:42, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

I responded on Draicone's talk page, but to repeat: this was an accidental rollback. Unfortunately, if I review edits with my iPhone, it's fairly easy to accidentally touch the rollback button in Recent Changes. Normally I'd see the confirmation of the edit, and normally I'd immediately revert it. That's happened once before as I recall. Here, I didn't see it, so I'm thinking that I was in the process of shutting down the session. My apologies for the inconvenience. --Abd 18:00, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

File copyright

Hi. I'm a custodian here, and I noticed that the files on User:Egm6341.s10.team3.heejun/HW7 don't have any licensing. I'd rather not delete them because it would detract from the value of the project. Would you be able to confirm that they have been released under GFDL or another appropriate license ? Thanks. --Simone 15:19, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Confirm. It was just an omission. Thanks. Egm6321.f11 19:38, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Would it be possible for you to confirm creative commons/GFDL licensing for all images created by participants in your projects here ? I've encountered several in Category:Files needing copyright information, and I'd rather not delete them due to lack of licensing information. Thanks. --Simone 13:00, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

The best would be the licensing template that I have been using. Egm6321.f11 01:41, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

The problem with this template is that it explicitly refers to text, and thus can't be used as a license for images. If I license the files under CC-BY-SA 3.0, which all your text contributions are already licensed under, would that be acceptable ? Thanks. --Simone 09:01, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. I intended the template to work for images as well. So I modified the template to "text and images". Egm6321.f11 10:07, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Ok, I'll use a CC-BY-SA 3.0/CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 template on all the unlicensed Egm6321 files I find. Thanks ! --Simone 10:22, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Wikiversity:What I have learned

Hello, this may be a bit too early for the current class, but since I saw there's activity since 2009 I'll ask you anyways. Would be great if you could share some feedback on Wikiversity:What I have learned, e.g.

• could I achieve the goals I had from begin with Wikiversity (WV) over the years?
  • If not, perhaps some suggestions (so people here could initiate appropriate steps for your next classes).
• perhaps experiences by students/participants? (can be anonymous also)
• will I use Wikiversity again? I think so, since you are back :-)

Images used by your students

It seems that some images used by your students don't have proper license information. Perhaps you can talk with them about this, because if images don't have proper licensing, they can, and often will, be deleted. If I can be of assistance, please don't hesitate to ask. The actual information, however, will probably need to come from the students.

For some examples of files already deleted, and a proposed deletion, see User talk:Egm6321.f11.team3.chang. I have not reviewed the situation with those files. For your information, these files are not actually deleted, the deletion tool merely hides them from public view. I can assist in the recovery of any of these files, if needed. Again, let me know. You could also ask the custodian who tagged and deleted the files, he's a friendly chap and would also assist, I'm sure. --Abd 01:39, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. Please do like Simone above for any missing license (it was just an omission), i.e., use the licensing template indicated. Egm6321.f11 02:01, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Unfortunately, for legal reasons, the template must be placed by the user who uploaded, I believe. I've tried to supply these notices myself, for others, and I've been reverted. I'm not going to second-guess Simone, but she's no longer a custodian here, she resigned. Don't consider what I'm saying as my final answer, this is only discussion. If placing the notice by the user who uploaded is impossible, there would be another way. It's just that this is simplest and cleanest. Thanks. --Abd 02:11, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
