There is a lot of stuff that we can write about here, I'm not sure that we will be able to get to the topic of integration any time soon. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:13, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
do you mean integration in mathematics, social integration, ...?Bocardodarapti (discuss • contribs) 13:56, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I entered "integration math" into Google web search and found this:
It looks pretty cool, useful for newbies, with plenty of images. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 14:16, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New Course Introducing Scholastic education Draft:Aristotle for Everybody

[edit source]

Contribute and learn with me in this introduction to scholastic education: Draft:Aristotle for Everybody, a companion reference to the textbook by Adler, Mortimer (1997), composed of its primary sources.

This will better resource than our course on Aristotle which was never written.

In this vein of a companion resource to a scholastic textbook, I also suggest Draft:The Trivium: The Liberal Arts of Logic, Grammar, and Rhetoric by w:Miriam Joseph, who cited Adler as an influence.

This is my opinion on Fair use of a Derivative and Copyrighted Work derived from Primary Sources in the Public Domain, if that is a concern.

Kind regards Jaredscribe (discuss • contribs) 00:26, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

quiz cloze with distractor gaps

[edit source]

Hi, is it possible to have quiz with “distractor” gaps? The cloze gap needs to remain empty to be scored as correct. What tried didn’t work. A workaround is of course to give the instructions Write — if nothing is to be inserted. Kays (discuss • contribs) 04:59, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sign up for the language community meeting on May 31st, 16:00 UTC

[edit source]

Hello all,

The next language community meeting is scheduled in a few weeks - May 31st at 16:00 UTC. If you're interested, you can sign up on this wiki page.

This is a participant-driven meeting, where we share language-specific updates related to various projects, collectively discuss technical issues related to language wikis, and work together to find possible solutions. For example, in the last meeting, the topics included the machine translation service (MinT) and the languages and models it currently supports, localization efforts from the Kiwix team, and technical challenges with numerical sorting in files used on Bengali Wikisource.

Do you have any ideas for topics to share technical updates related to your project? Any problems that you would like to bring for discussion during the meeting? Do you need interpretation support from English to another language? Please reach out to me at ssethi(__AT__)wikimedia.org and add agenda items to the document here.

We look forward to your participation!

A bug in our page-view monitor

[edit source]

I saved a few links to https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/ in order to track pageviews of things I wrote on WV several years ago. Recently, it has been generating impossible spikes in pageviews. In the past, I have occasionally seen mild spikes that might be caused by an instructor assigning a homework or exam problem associated with something I wrote. But this spike of 4110 pageviews (on 4/10/24) cannot be explained by such a mechanism: Not only is this page not very remarkable, it is not typically part of any course that thousands of students would be taking. Also, I have observed enough spikes on other pages to be convinced some sort of bot is browsing Wikiversity in an unhuman fashion. Any ideas on the source of these spikes?

Feedback invited on Procedure for Sibling Project Lifecycle

[edit source]
You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki. Please help translate to your language

Dear community members,

The Community Affairs Committee (CAC) of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees invites you to give feedback on a draft Procedure for Sibling Project Lifecycle. This draft Procedure outlines proposed steps and requirements for opening and closing Wikimedia Sibling Projects, and aims to ensure any newly approved projects are set up for success. This is separate from the procedures for opening or closing language versions of projects, which is handled by the Language Committee or closing projects policy.

You can find the details on this page, as well as the ways to give your feedback from today until the end of the day on June 23, 2024, anywhere on Earth.

You can also share information about this with the interested project communities you work with or support, and you can also help us translate the procedure into more languages, so people can join the discussions in their own language.

On behalf of the CAC,

What's a "sibling project"? AP295 (discuss • contribs) 23:33, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wikiversity is hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation, a non-profit organization that also hosts a range of other multilingual and free-content projects:

Man that's an ugly template. Especially when when you stretch the browser screen. "Sibling project" is the 'gender-neutral' analog of "sister project", I take it then? Why not just call them "wikimedia projects" and avoid the issue altogether? AP295 (discuss • contribs) 03:47, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:50, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Now I see why they pay you the big bucks. AP295 (discuss • contribs) 03:51, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've definitely traded tens of thousands of hours of free labor to these sites for decades for something, I guess. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 04:03, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's a resume, at least. Ever consider working as a professor? AP295 (discuss • contribs) 06:22, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe in another life. :/ —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 06:25, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
