[edit] Learning Projects
Merhaba Erkan. Buradaki Learning Project içindeki dersler (lessons) subpage olarak mı oluşturulmalı (Project/Lesson ??) Srhat 10:30, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thucydides and Bryson
Hi Erkan,
I want to contact user Enlil again on Thucydides. He was very interested. I think the reading groups/organized debate groups will have a very slow start and that people will drop by one by one. Keeping Enlil on board would be good for the continuance of the project. I could continue reading Thucydides with Enlil alone, or with you in it as well if you want to.
Do you still want to continue on Bryson and A Short History of nearly Everything? If you don't want to, i don't mind. I think i pushed it too much on the chat and i did quit on the wikilearning project. :-) --Daanschr 12:13, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
- Well, if Enlil is already there and willing, let's do the Thucydides. We are about 25% through. But let's see how we will progress next, ----Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 15:57, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
Enlil doesn't respond yet. Don't know if he will.--Daanschr 06:56, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
- Hope dies at last :-)
- Did you send him an email or contact him at WP ? ----Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 15:35, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
Maybe he will respond after a while. he says he is on brake untill 1 august, so it will take a while. Let's wait for a week or so.--Daanschr 16:52, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
- OK, I hope I can start already until then reading Thucydides, ----Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 17:41, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
Of course. But, we don't have a date yet for discussion. Do you agree to read more of the text before a discussion. Perhaps a whole book. The discussion can happen after the book is read.--Daanschr 20:46, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
- Well, I am not sure about a complete book. Smaller parts would be finer for me, they are more realizable (and if there is more time, there will be read more anyway). ----Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 15:50, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps we can do two kinds of assessments of the text. One in which it is checked whether a certain amount of text has been read and one in which the text is further analyzed. The first assessment can be solely on the text of the week itself, while the other is about making a comparison between the text read and other parts of the source being used.--Daanschr 16:32, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
- Well, we can do many things. BUt let me try if I can start reading tomorrow a little bit, ----Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 18:25, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Sounds great.--Daanschr 18:36, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
- Let's wait: I must get acclimated again - to see if I get the lust for it again. :-) ----Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 18:38, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
If Enlil doesn't come, than we can better read Bryson. I think you might really like him and i hope to get people interested in natural sciences. There is a major public interested in it.--Daanschr 07:17, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
Waiting is good. If you ever want to continue, than i am available. In the meanwhile we could sometimes chat. Bye :-)--Daanschr 10:20, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
- Well, plan was to read yesterday something, but I got caught up in social psychology (see below thread). Let's see when I will do more. About chat: well, you knwo where we can meet :-) ----Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 10:38, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Welcome to social psychology
Thanks Erkan for your efforts engaging with social psychology students' e-portfolios. I think maybe you worked down the sortable list to find who had contributed? If you have other ideas for ways to "organise"/"sort" the collection of student contributions, let me know. Last year I created aggregated blog feeds, but this year will probably not reach in that direction because RSS pushing and pulling is in the developmental basket for us.
It is of course perfectly wonderful what you have been doing - the students will very much appreciate it - and I am learning much from your editing too! I have tried to inform them that they may get help and interaction from around the world - and that the more they contribute the more likely they are to attract edits of others. And of course anything they don't want, they can revert.
I also took the liberty of adding you to Social psychology (psychology)/Staff for your contributions already :) Welcome aboard. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 22:42, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, I worked down the list to find if someone wrote already something. RSS would be probably a faster way for the students since the info reaches them without any action needed by them. But on the other hand: while being at WV they can learn/explore more about a wiki in general and I am sure some of the things they observe they can use for the class also (I also saw that someone experimented with the things in your lecture in the Colloquium (Wikiversity:Colloquium#The Question of Identity.) or was this pure coincidence ?). And who knows one or two might stay and then as you do now attract others again to WV :-)
- I guess you still remember this - had also to be done manually. So who knows, perhaps for the future we can write a template that future course creators can use right from the start.
- I guess it would be good for the students if they knew the "watch list" (will add the participants also now to my watch list). The majority does not use images to relax their texts (but on the other hand searching a picture also takes time). I guess all will come when they are more experienced with the wiki syntax.
- It is actually interesting for me in this kind: I don't attend the lecture (e.g. don't hear your voice and examples, but I zapped through the 2 lecture slides yesterday) and get by the contributions a glance of what you did/said. So, it is some kind of puzzle game for me. If there would be no info loss (teacher -> student -> WV) and they can communicate this again good to here and I perceive the info as they want it and not like I want it. I would have the same info then without attending. In theory :-) Well, let's see how it goes on. ----Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 07:01, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

- Just a quick response here, the 'long-term' challenge for me is close the 'gap' you speak to - i.e., between what is available to the 'on-campus' participant and what is available at the moment to the 'worldwide' participant. Most of that gap is due to 'old institutional' practice e.g., I am still using a proprietary textbook with copyrighted/password protected resources until I have access to a sufficiently developed wikibook. Perhaps I should or will next time set the students the task of writing parts of such a book. Also, the insitution doesn't make it too easy to openly share recorded lectures. But these are kind of happy challenges to have :) even if not ideal yet for the 'worldwide' participant. BTW - I am trying to improve Lecture 2.0 to explain the ideas some more. We have some (good) debate about this now on campus and hopefully a more formal live debate coming up in September. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 11:03, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
- I guess all needs just time so people get used to change. Probably it is hard for people to let go of their current belief sets. Who knows what the future will bring with a new generation/the right mindset of people. Until then I am happy to join the experiment you make here. ----Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 12:10, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

I think the main reason for the seclusion into institutionalism is quality-control. A wiki-book needs to adjust to a certain quality, which implies that not everybody will be allowed to write it. The issue at stake is wether the internet can add something to academic practise. The best the internet can offer is wide communication possibilities between people. But at the moment, there is too much chaos and too less quality in order to make the internet usefull.--Daanschr 12:51, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Terry Ananny
Hello Erkan Yilmaz. I edit at Wikipedia and noticed that an article that has been deleted there was created here by a blocked sockpuppet of the artist herself. I'm not familiar with the policies at Wikiversity (are they pretty much the same as at Wikipedia?), and in particular those concerning notability and sockpuppet activity. Is this article within Wikiversity guidelines? I will check back at my Wikiversity user talk page in case you reply there. Thanks, Freshacconci 01:07, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
- When the page first appeared here I had a look at the deletion discussion and read the page itself here and also made a comment on the talk page (though that the user removed my comments a few times on the talk page without commenting is not so nice :-)). At that time I didn't see something to delete it. The Wikiversity:Mission is listed and if the user wants to start her learning activities here with a self presentation that is fine for me. Who knows in the end she may also upload some pictures which then all can use ? Let's just see what will happen. I am only one voice here (and probably a too liberal one). It certainly will also be helpful to also ask others, e.g. Wikiversity:Request custodian action or Colloquium. About Wikiversity:Policies: I think we have less strict policies than at WP - that lies in the nature of the project. WP is for creating objective encyclopedic articles while we want to foster learning (communities) and the more policies you have the less freedom people have and perhaps might be less creative ? My definition of learning is a very broad one: learning is a mental change and what can help to achieve this is fine for me. You are free to edit the page as you would like to see and/or add your improvement ideas on the talk page or move it to: User:Terry Ananny. I will also try to contact the author (will see if I can find an email on some of the private pages) so we get also her future ideas here at WV.

[edit] Terry Ananny Canadian UNICEF Artist
Hello Erkan, Thank you for your support regarding the article on Canadian UNICEF Artist Terry Ananny. I would like to mention that every effort was made to restore this article to enWikipedia in a respectfull and mannerly way. The article first appeared on enWikipedia in late 2006 and ran without incident or deletion to the spring of 2008. It was then slated for deletion review and then unfairly removed. I say "unfairly" because the motions to "keep" the article were more than to "delete", but it was deleted in the outcome. It appears the editor Freshacconci has his own ideas regarding which articles on art/artists may appear within the enWikipedia structure. It is unclear what criteria Freshacconci uses when making his decisions to delete an arts related article but he cited non-notability as reason for deletion in this case although it would appear that this artist has achieved notability:
Terry Ananny's work has been reproduced nine times on UNICEF greeting cards from 1998 to 2009, Canada Save the Children - work selected in 1999, Children's Wish Foundation of Canada - work selected for card reproduction four times, Canadian Greetings - work selected three times, Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation "Cards for the Cure" work selected two times, Cornerstone 52 Foundation work selected two times, Mt. Sinai Hospital Auxillary, work selected 2007, a feature three page article published by Magazin'Art in 1999, various newspaper articles, references to the artist from 1993 to 2010 in "Biennial Guide to Artists in Galleries", 10 works listed with Canadian Auction Houses, over 1000 paintings in a chronological listing dating from 1993 to present day (numbered and titled) including prominent government collections (Jean Charest, Brian Mulroney, Jean Chretien), corporate and private collections, The Ministry of Quebec 2008 video "Art Speaks", CD cover - CPM Distribution, Canadian Health Services Research Foundation work selected for annual report cover 1998, artist references in National Gallery of Canada Library, Art Gallery of Ontario, Musee d'art conemporain de Montreal.
Many citations proving the existence of the above were offered and summarily dismissed by the editor Freshacconci. This same article still appears in Wikipedia Portugal, Spain, Russia, Netherlands and Simple (English).
I would like to see the article re-instated on enWikipedia and seek the help of others in restoring this article.
Sincerely, canadianlibrary user
- Well, Wikipedia has their own set of policies/guidelines regarding what should stay or not stay there. The best is to figure this out with interaction with their users. Perhaps you are also interested in this: Ethical Management of the English Language Wikipedia ?
- There are many ways to invest ones time. I am always baffled by why contributors go to places still when they are not welcomed. Why waste time ? If I am not wanted somewhere people lose someone. Search yourself another more comfortable place and continue being happy there.
- So, perhaps I can motivate you to help us extend our art learning resources and the art community ? Any of the following sounds interesting ? (and if not, why not create something new ? it is a wiki)

[edit] list of user namespaces
Hello, thanks for providing a list of my students' user namespaces for the two classes. One of my concerns, which was also raised by some students in my two classes, is that some team may copy from another team's work to pass on as their own work. Hence, it is best not to gather together all team user namespaces in one place so to facilitate even more such plagiarism. In fact, the team name, which is part of the username, is confidential. Each team does not know the team name of the other teams. Could you put this list somewhere, perhaps in your user namespace so that students do not have access to? I suppose that you are a custodian of wikiversity. I am removing these lists from the discussion page of the course wiki pages. Thanks. Eas4200c.f08 10:51, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

I feel lately that I have to chose between sides (chat users know what I am talking about). I don't want to do this to any of you - each of you is a dear human being to me.
I am very very disappointed how people treat each other (and I am speaking here about each involved party). This is not what I had in mind especially of this Wikiversity (this relates to the "I once believed") - which was very precious to me. This all now has made me very sad lately, so I will remove myself to find happiness again.
My decision has nothing to do with Moulton (though in my vision of WV I was sure we could help him in longterm to get his inner peace - without making others unhappy). To Dark Mage: my decision has also nothing to do with you - one day you will understand that people from this wiki didn't and don't want to hurt you.

Erkan,
I don't know where the previous discussion is -- I don't see it in the archive.
Anyways, about the Internal Belief Systems document:
The author, whose name is Kirtis, basically wants to offer the document on some web-based means of discussion. Presumably this will eventually lead to widespread adoption of the principles discussed in the document, though of course, that depends on what people think of it.
I suggested that he explore copyrighting it. Meanwhile, I want to explore adding references to the work mentioned as crucial to the document's principle, "the Willie Lynch Letter of 1712." Kirtis says that this work is a historical document. It is available at, among other places, <http://www.thetalkingdrum.com/wil.html>. There are some other references we should add as well.
I'm going to log out for a while. I will log back in later 2day.

Erkan,
Sorry I wasn't able to log back in last Saturday.
So how do I go about adding a reference to another work? Do I just say at the end of the entry, as I would in a term paper or thesis, "these are the references"...?

[edit] Wikiversity:Mentors
Hi! I saw that you've made some edits to the Wikiversity:Mentors page a while back. I've been working on bringing the Mentorship program up to the next level. I'm hoping to model it, to a certain extent, on the Learning4Content program over at WikiEducator. I would appreciate your feedback. --AFriedman 17:28, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
