Re: Your comment:

Great! I would love to see a community grow around this project. Please go for it (i.e. do whatever you want to take it further) and let me know if there is anything specific I can do to help. K 20:33, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Project incubator

Please check Wikiversity:Project_incubator for an update on HHF. Your help would be greatly appreciated. I have a bunch of enthusiastic volunteers from my hostel ready to help me out with the discussions that are supposed to happen on Highschool Help Forum. However, to keep them glued to the forum, it's necessary that the forum be complete. There are just too any trivial issues to be resolved. I'd request you to brainstorm over this on the project incubator. --Dharav talk 12:21, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

I created a Wikiversity Twitter account. I'm DM you the password. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 13:42, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] How to archive User pages when cut and paste is shut off?

I got one of those speed limit signs on my user page, and went to archive it using cut and paste only to find that cut and paste is shut off somehow on that page. I know that Bots can archive, so there must be some way to create a template that will move a section of user talk page into a specified archive, do we have a template like that?--Graeme E. Smith 17:41, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Cut and past is shut off? What do you mean? --SB_Johnny talk 20:48, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

I am not sure, except that when I go to cut or copy text, it is not transferred to the clipboard I am currently testing to see if it is a local memory allocation problem but it works/fails to work across multiple versions of Firefox, and IE6, so I figure there is something strange going on. Could just be I am running short on swapfile, I haven't been able to get through the memory clean-up utility yet, so maybe that is it, too many temporary files or something.--Graeme E. Smith 03:23, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for moving the template for me, I didn't see that requirement in the instructions, and I wanted to protect the welcome message, though I see that it wouldn't normally be moved anyway.--Graeme E. Smith 00:05, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Is the bot shut off? or busy somewhere else? I know it has processing limitations to keep it from lagging the server.--Graeme E. Smith 00:55, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Thanx

Thank you very much for the linkage and the constructive criticism. Both were appreciated. B9 hummingbird hovering 13:56, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] ello

I have located some guys who have uploaded heaps of audiovisual onto YouTube regarding Tibetan language learning amongst others. Is there a way to embed this stuff from YouTube in Wikiversity directly? I tried embedding in HTML tags but didn't work. Or is this new Wikimedia Player I have heard about within Wikiversity pages a good way to embed the url? Or do we need to encourage them to upload it somewhere within the auspice of the Wikimedia Foundation projects? Where would be most appropriate? Is there a different location other associated media such as translations should be placed? Recommendations about how to establish project linkages? Is there a protocol? Dictionaries, would you know how best to incorporate the doings of our group within Wiktionary? Is there a forum within the Foundation to maximise interactivities between projects? Is this information somehow already captured within Wikiversity from other language learning projects? Is this information harvestable? You're prolly thinking OMG but if you may assist in any way or foster appropriate linkages I would be most appreciative. Is there a mentor program on Wikiversity?
I await your advice

Thank you very much for your response and I will prospect your recommendations. I thank you for your time.

I don't use Skype, but I am often in irc in #wikiversity-en --mikeu talk 13:47, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
I finally have started to use IRC. I initally started on Pidgin but was not very pleased with it and happened upon integrating IRC with Oprah, which is one of the browsers I favour and I love its functional ease. Please find herewith linkage prospecting Wiktionary as requested:
I very much appreciate your gallant offer to facilitate.

[edit] Note to a yank

Why not start a project on how U.S.C Title 17 could be reformed?

Or indeed any other title ;)

[edit] Tibetan templates

Thanx so much mate.
May I also ask where abouts I would find the syntax to tweak them?
:-D
B9 hummingbird hovering 11:25, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

There is a text I would like to translate and it is in the public domain. Until it is finished I considered a ghost page or annexure of my Learning Weblog, unless some other people want to play as well. But most people have said yes, yes, yes, but when it comes to it they are nowhere to be found. I know people get busy but it confuses me why people tender or venture a learning commitment and then do not honour it. Lesson 15 already has a number of entries that could go in a Tibetan-English dictionary. Because Wiktionary is multilingual should I prospect them about how I should enter them? I am in bind about how to best progress the dictionary, should it be both Wylie and Tibetan and what case ending should I use in certain instances? I am flying blind with that and don't want to start something that will become a legacy in future. I would like a dictionary that is functional and easy to navigate. The Tibetan Wiktionary is locked but can be re-opened, as well...but my understanding of this forum is a dedicated Tibetan language dictionary. We need a bilingual dictionary.
:-D

Sweet. Your interest is appreciated and I will keep you in the loop with the Wiktionary developments.

[edit] User usurpation request

Hello sir. I requested for an account usurpation here a few days back. Since its been a little time so I thought to request it personally. Regards. Marsa Lahminal 17:08, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] oversight

How do I request meta:oversight e.g., for [1] -- Jtneill - Talk - c 00:17, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

I took care of that one. But, here is the info for future reference. You never want to make the request on wiki because that draws attention to the libel, personal information, or whatever is being oversighted. Go to #wikimedia-stewards and type "@steward oversight en-wv" to get their attention. The bot will list the stewards in the channel. When one of them responds, use private message to tell them the page that needs oversight. When deleting a page with sensitive info make sure to use an edit summary, otherwise the default is to include the first line of text from the page. That causes some of the info to remain visible in recent changes and the deletion log even though the page is deleted. --mikeu talk 14:20, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
Great info, thanks. I've added your valuable advice to here: Help:Oversight - feel free to adjust of course. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 15:23, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Categories added with Mu301Bot

The categories added with Mu301Bot ignore categories that are added with templates.

For example: Assistant teacher program for asylum seekers did receive a new category "Assistant teacher program" while the template {{atp/asylum seekers}} already added it to "Category:Assistant teacher program for asylum seekers", which is a sub category. --fasten 08:17, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
