Your feedback is welcome at User talk:Username142857

Dear my mentor, I believe we have already seen User:Username142857 making too many non-Wikiversity questions at Wikiversity:Candidates for Custodianship/MathXplore and Wikiversity talk:Custodianship/Archive 6. In the beginning, I answered them one by one as part of demonstrating my competency to answer questions as a custodian candidate (and they were somewhat related to my global contributions) and courtesy to discussion participants. However, by facing special:diff/2631774 and special:diff/2618170 (editing discussion archives, re-opening closed discussions), I started to believe that we should bring an end to their excessive non-Wikiversity usage of Wikiversity (talk) namespaces. According to w:User talk:Username142857 (especially w:special:diff/1073391896), User:Username142857 is evaluated as the other editors are tired to waste their time to read and answer your non-useful edits. and I think they are doing the similar thing at Wikiversity. Our community may have limited tolerance for such behavior. If you had any experience of handling such issues in the past, your feedback may be helpful to allow User:Username142857 to improve their behavior. Thank you for your attention and mentoring.

@MathXplore: Thanks for the heads up. Sorry for slow response. I'm recovering from COVID, but on way back. Thankyou for your very patient, clear, and supportive feedback on Username142857's talk page which, along with Mikeu, seems to have communicated the concerns and hopefully lead to a change/improvement in behaviour. What a great example of handling challenging behaviour courteously. Fingers crossed. Keep well. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 00:39, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

b:Motivation and emotion/Book/2024/Free will and neuroscience

Hello, can this be related to your project? Should this be imported here? MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 12:10, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, the page has been deleted, should we request temporary restoration for import, or should we just ask the author to resubmit to Wikiversity? MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 12:29, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank-you for pointing this out. Yes, it does look like one of my students' editing. It is a little puzzling how the user ended up on Wikibooks. It is OK that that the wikibooks page has been deleted because the user also appears to be underway here: Motivation and emotion/Book/2024/Free will and neuroscience. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 21:53, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Template:Subst:ME/BCS

Hello, should this template be kept for your project? MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 11:42, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Yes, please - but it could be moved from Template into a subpage of Motivation and emotion. Note that we are actively using the template at the moment to help build out the Motivation and emotion/Book/2024 pages. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 02:43, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

File:Rejection sensitivity chart.webp

One of your students uploaded this image to Commons as part of Motivation and emotion/Book/2024/Rejection sensitivity. Unfortunately, it's meaningless AI-generated sludge. Can this image be removed from the chapter to allow it to be deleted from Commons?

(You may want to have a word with your students about AI-generated content; I think some of the text in this chapter was generated by ChatGPT as well.) Omphalographer (discuss • contribs) 02:52, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

@Omphalographer: Great, thanks for picking this up and letting me know. Yes please, delete. I've given the student a heads-up here: User talk:Yonis Yousufzai. We're covering genAI in classes this week . Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 03:25, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

VDT - U3126684 chapter

Hi James ! I saw you added the hanging indent which is amazing, thank you so much! However, I had a few references missing and I tried to add them in but they didn't keep the required APA formatting. I deleted the template and reused the hanging indent template but it won't keep any formatting. Can you please help me fix it? Motivation and emotion/Book/2024/Vulnerable dark triad, motivation, and emotion - Wikiversity U3126684 (discuss • contribs) 11:16, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

James, I figured it out! I was just missing the "}}" at the end of the text... all solved! U3126684 (discuss • contribs) 11:31, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Your feedback may be needed at User talk:Tule-hog

Hello, user:Dan Polansky is currently communicating with a participant on this talk page. As Dan's mentor, I thought you may want to provide feedback so I came here for a notice. (@Guy vandegrift: Your feedback is also welcome). MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 06:20, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I will keep up with further developments. Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 00:07, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

General health and well-being

This page was in the proposed-deletion state for over 3 months, with no opposition. Should I feel free to delete the page? I guess it seemed to be a good idea back in 2011 (at least as a stub to get things started), but no one expanded it into anything really useful during all these years. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 11:24, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi Dan - thanks for checking - yes, it can go - I've removed the one incoming link to this page. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 21:39, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
