Go to Commons:Special:Contributions/K9AllianceAltAcct to find the image page titles. Put those in the resource as is. Do not try to use http links. The first one is done for you. Also note that the only reason I saw your post was because you created a new talk page. If no one is monitoring this particular learning project, you won't get a response here. Use the Wikiversity:Colloquium for questions about Wikiversity. Use this talk page for questions about service dogs. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 01:42, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Notice of intention to delete section unless otherwise discussed

I created this WU project some years back and wish to update it. Someone very nicely addes a section listing dog breeds that can be trained as SD. However, ANY breed of dog is legally available for such training. A section discussing dog breeds is only meaningful if it contains discussion perhaps of the characteristics of such a breed as relating to SD work. I personally am not qualified to conduct such a topical investigation and it is a very specialized topic which IMHO would be a whole separate and distinct WU project. Comments?

Notice of intention to change project name to reflect scope as originally established.

"Service dog" is a broad topic, and really and adjective+noun form does not adequately characterize this WU project. Something more true to the original scope such as Service Dogs for Invisible Disabilities in the USA: Task Training and Access Issues or even Service Dog Access and Training Issues under the ADA. This rules out aviation access and housing access and restricts access issues to restuarants, stores, shows, etc. It also reflects the secondary (and perhaps OR) in the earlier written section on PTSD Training, which is not linked quite correctly on the main page. Please check my wikipedia page for more information, I created this WU project with a special purpose handle, as I declared at the time, and don't have the password to that account.

@Wikidgood: See Wikiversity:Naming conventions. Shorter is better. Don't include a colon. That denotes a namespace. Note that there are 26 subpages here. It will be easier if you ask a curator or custodian to rename for you. They can rename all of the pages at once. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 17:05, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi Dave. I have noticed your helpful admin over the years. Unlike the often mean spirited and litigious admins on other WMF projects. Short is OK, my suggestions sounded more like scholarly articles too long but IMHO the name should also sufficiently state the actual scope of the page. I would prefer something like Service Dogs for PTSD but that tends to exclude broader diagnostic categories. THe other concern is that "Invisible Disabilities" is kind of a term of art... I will think it over. How would I go about requesting the mass name change assistance? I am still rusty on WMF processes it has been a while.

Trending more to research rather than teaching. The latter could be a Wikibook. Wikidgood (discuss • contribs) 21:21, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

@Wikidgood: The best place is at Wikiversity:Request custodian action. But you can also just put it here and mention me, either with {{Reply}} or by User:Dave Braunschweig. Either of those will draw my attention. If you respond to someone but don't mention them, they have to know to look for the response. I tend to monitor talk pages, but we have dozens of talk pages being changed right now so it's easier to miss something. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 15:41, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
