Internet Protocol Analysis

Thanks for stopping by and editing the intro to Internet Protocol Analysis. If you have any other recommendations, I'd appreciate hearing from you. The course goes live with approximately 100 real world students on January 14. -- Dave Braunschweig (talk) 23:39, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

Earning money

What learning project is Earning money associated with? That title doesn't appear to be either an academic topic or have a corresponding Wikipedia subject associated with it. We're trying better organize Wikiversity so that top-level pages are either a course or full lesson on a particular subject. If you believe an Earning money redirect is necessary, what project should it redirect to? -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 12:33, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

Maybe it should be a redirect to business?

No Solicitation

Wikiversity's mission is to create and host free learning materials and activities. Solicitation for external organizations and websites is not accepted. Let me know if you have any questions. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 22:30, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Can you site a policy specific about this? Michael Ten (discuss • contribs) 22:45, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:Wikipedia:External links#Links normally to be avoided. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 23:26, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Is that referring to user pages or main namespace? Do Wikipedia policies apply to Wikiversity? Might wikiversity experience more growth if self promotion is allowed, at least on user pages? Michael Ten (discuss • contribs) 23:45, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, it comes from Wikiversity:External links. I clicked one too far before pasting the link. Regarding self promotion, see Wikiversity:Mission. The mission isn't growth or promotion elsewhere. The mission is free resources hosted here. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 00:33, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Edit Summary

Please include an Edit summary description with your changes. Also note that Wikiversity naming convetions do not require Sentence case titles. In fact, most academics prefer Title Case. Let me know if you have any questions. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 16:37, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

Open interviews

The pages created at Open interviews/I want to see aging defeated. Interview me! and Talk:Open interviews/I want to see aging defeated. Interview me! were self-promotion and solicitation for your own efforts outside of Wikiversity. They were not consistent with the Wikiversity:Mission and have been deleted. Please focus your editing efforts on developing learning projects that support the Wikiversity mission. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 13:44, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

Wow. You really want to stifle growth on this site. Good job. My open interview was better received on Reddit. Please userify the page for a week so I can transwiki it to a different wiki. Michael Ten (discuss • contribs) 18:06, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

I'm sorry to see that your vision of growth at Wikiversity is to grow Reddit at our expense. There is no need to restore the requested content. The text has been forwarded to your email account. Best of luck to you. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 19:48, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

How was that going to grow Reddit? Reddit has experienced enormous growth over the last few years. A large percentage of content on Reddit is directly and indirectly related to learning. This site can learn a great deal from Reddit. I was attempting to emulate an extremely popular feature of Reddit here (which can be used for learning, research, and teaching), so that this site could potentially grow for the same excellent reason Reddit has related to learning - interviews (Reddit calls them AMA's Ask me anything). I hope you can figure out a way to be more welcoming to potential participants here on this site. Good luck. Michael Ten (discuss • contribs) 20:12, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

Starting a journal

It's an interesting start you made at WikiJournal of Business and Economics. I've written some advice at: WikiJournal/Starting a journal. Mikael Häggström (discuss • contribs) 17:00, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks! Michael Ten (discuss • contribs) 02:44, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Exciting to see interest in a new journal! Will articles be peer-reviewed before publication? T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)^talk 03:20, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

What do you think of the idea of forming it into a slightly broader journal of Social Science, to include e.g. Law, History and Sociology? Broader scope may make it easier to ensure sufficient content and interest to keep different WikiJournals maintainable. I suspect that WikiJournals will survive best if there are a small number (3-6) broad academic disciplines. I realise that it might make finding suitable external experts for peer review more difficult though. T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)^talk 08:26, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

Inactive Participants

Please seek community input before listing additional users as active or inactive. There haven't been any active school contributors for a long time, but listing people as inactive has a different connotation than not listing participants at all. The community should have input on this. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 23:13, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

OK. I will not use these templates anymore until community input is gathered. Feel free to gather the community input. I might too at some point in the future, before utilizing those templates and listing users and inactive. Michael Ten (discuss • contribs) 00:28, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

acceptance of welcome

I am greatly pleased by your conduct of affairs here at wikiversity. I got into this to garner as much knowledge as possible to pass my courses in the university under computer science. Thank you. Jerusalem Sabbath (discuss • contribs) 06:11, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
