Feedback[edit]

I reviewed your edit to Media bias in the United States. I noticed it was originally reverted by an editor who felt the content was redundant to itself. I reinstated the edit because I believe it is relevant, and in fact introduces new information, which is the relation of liberal bias and left-wing agenda. Monitor the talk page of that article to see if discussion develops to this regard. If it should I am prepared to assist your efforts to include, what I regard as a valid edit, with sufficient WP:RS to show it is not WP:OR. You did a good job with your edit, and it sometimes happens that in spite of a good effort, content is contested. We sometimes just have to be ready to defend our intentions and argue for them to prevail. This may be an example of such. My76Strat (talk) 05:42, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well it has already been reverted again. It appears that staunch liberals have usurped ownership of that article and are content to make a content dispute out of the simplest inclusion. The recent revert was bold in their edit summary and made it clear their motivation was a lack of regard for Kristol. Truth is, whether they like him or not is not a reason to discredit his opinion. A proper response is to counter a contentious claim with another reliable source that gives weight to an opposing point of view. The saddest thing is that the content is not disputed, is rather intuitive, and is being reverted primarily because of who said it. It's pathetic actually.

Hello, we're supposed to write on your page for class! Like the person above if I wrote this in the wrong place let me know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.119.155.59 (talk) 14:12, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is fine! (Next time remember to add the four tilde's at the end of your comment so that I know who you are) Eff Gjeni (talk) 19:50, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Alex![edit]

Here is the link to the general ambassador program that I was telling you about yesterday. If you are interested, the links for each type of ambassador lead to the process with which you could use to apply. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Student Assignments[edit]

There is an issue with some assignments from the Wikipedia:United States Education Program/Courses/Writing As Communication Spring 2012. A student has written a draft, moved it to Main and has told me and some adminstrators in IRC/-en-help that they are supposed to have one working paragraph in Main by midnight Eastern time tonight, meaning within one hour. The draft has now been moved from Main back to User:Happyfriend77/The Transition of Identity Through the Wearing of Masks by an administrator to protect the content from possible deletion. Please contact this editor User talk:Happyfriend77 and give them some assistance, and also take a look at their contributions. Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 04:26, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Looking through what the other students on the writing as communication spring 2012 course have been up to I think there has been a problem with poor choices of article titles/topics. May be too late too address that but it probably should at least be tried.©Geni 04:58, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Help with moving my article to the main space[edit]

Hi there. I'm Channing from Zac's spring 375 class. I've been told that my title for my article (and possibly the overall tone of it) is too essayish. I guess I'm looking for suggestions about how to change that because I really am kind of stumped. The point I am trying to make is about the depictions of male and female bodies in the media and how they relate to eating disorders (not how they partially CAUSE them, as that article already exists). Sorry if I seem all over the place! Thank you for your help Channinged5 —Preceding undated comment added 16:38, 10 March 2012 (UTC).[reply]

Concerns over Wikipedia:United States Education Program/Courses/Writing As Communication Spring 2012[edit]

A number of articles created by this project have been moved into mainspace recently (and project space, and a couple of other places...). So far, all those I've looked at have been near-perfect examples of original research essays, with those few that made some attempt at encyclopedic structure being deletable under A10. I'm holding off tagging anything until I get some feedback from you and the other ambassadors, but as it stands, you're going to have some very disappointed and frustrated students once other editors start examining these articles. Although it would be prident to ensure that the students fully understand WP:OR, there are a number of articles here that are unsalvagebly unencyclopedic: Sexting Communications, Gender representation in video games and Sexualized Violence of Women in Slasher Films are just a few examples.

Edit to your user page[edit]

I have made a minor edit to your user page. I added a colon to prevent inappropriate categorization of user page. See Help:Category#Linking to category pages. Please write to me if you have any questions. Sincerely, Senator2029 (talk) 01:52, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Alex![edit]

I'm Jill from Zach's Comm375 class - my article "Media and the Thin Ideal" was deleted because it was well-covered already. Do you have any suggestions about what I should do now, I need help! Thank you! (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 03:44, 30 March 2012 (UTC).[reply]

Wikipedia Ambassadors update[edit]

Hi! You're getting this message because you are or have been a Wikipedia Ambassador. A new term is beginning for the United States and Canada Education Programs, and I wanted to give you an update on some important new information if you're interested in continuing your work this term as a Wikipedia Ambassador.

You may have heard a reference to a transition the education program is going through. This is the last term that the Wikimedia Foundation will directly run the U.S. and Canada programs; beginning in June, a proposed thematic organization is likely to take over organizing the program. You can read more about the proposal here.

Another major change in the program will take effect immediately. Beginning this term, a new MediaWiki education extension will replace all course pages and Ambassador lists. (See Wikipedia:Course pages and Help:Education Program extension for more details.) Included in the extension are online volunteer and campus volunteer user rights, which let you create and edit course pages and sign up as an ambassador for a particular course.

If you would like to continue serving as a Wikipedia Ambassador — even if you do not support a class this term — you must create an ambassador profile. If you're no longer interested in being a Wikipedia Ambassador, you don't need to do anything.

Please do these steps as soon as possible

First, you need the relevant user rights for Online and/or Campus Ambassadors. (If you are an admin, you can grant the rights yourself, for you as well as other ambassadors.) Just post your rights request here, and we'll get you set up as quickly as possible.

Once you've got the ambassador rights, please set up at a Campus and/or Online Ambassador profile. You can do so at:

Going forward, the lists of Ambassadors at Special:CampusAmbassadors and Special:OnlineAmbassadors will be the official roster of who is an active Ambassador. If you would like to be an Ambassador but not ready to serve this term, you can un-check the option in your profile to publicly list it (which will remove your profile from the list).

After that, you can sign on to support courses. The list of courses will be at Special:Courses. (By default, this lists "Current" courses, but you can change the Status filter to "Planned" to see courses for this term that haven't reached their listed start date yet.)

As this is the first term we have used the extension, we know there will be some bugs, and we know the feature set is not as rich as it could be. (A big wave of improvements is already in the pipeline. And if you know MediaWiki and could help with code review, we'd love to have your help!) Please reach out to me (Sage Ross) with any complaints, bug reports, and feature suggestions. The basic features of the extension are documented at Wikipedia:Course pages, and you can see a tutorial for setting up and using them here.

Communication and keeping up to date

In the past, the Education Program has had a pretty fragmented set of communication channels. We're trying to fix that. These are the recommended places to discuss and stay up-to-date on the education program:

The education noticeboard has become the main on-wiki location for discussion of the Education Program. You can post there about broad education program issues as well as issues with individual courses.
The Ambassadors Announce email list is a very low-traffic announcements list of important information all Ambassadors need to be aware of. We encourage all Ambassadors (and other interested Wikipedians) to subscribe to the list; follow the instructions on the link to add your email address.
If you use IRC regularly, or need to try to reach someone immediately, the #wikipedia-en-ambassadors ^connect IRC channel is the place to find me and fellow Ambassadors.

Ambassador training and resources

We now have an online training for Ambassadors, which is intended to be both an orientation about the Wikipedia Ambassador role for newcomers and the manual for how to do the role. (There are parallel trainings for students and for educators as well.)

Please go through the training if you feel like you need a refresher on how a typical class is supposed to go and where the Ambassadors fit in, or if you want to review and help improve it. If there's something you'd like to see added, or other suggestions you have for it, feel free to edit the training and/or leave feedback. A primer on setting up and using course pages is included in the educators' training.

The Resources page of the training is the main place for Ambassador-related resources. If there's something you think is important as a resource that's not on there, please add it.

Finally, whether or not you work with any classes this term, I encourage you to post entries to the Trophy Case whenever you see excellent work from students or if you have great examples from past semesters. And, as always, let students (and other editors!) know when they do things well; a little WikiLove goes a long way!

Ndihme mbi artikuj per Shqiptare neper bote[edit]

Kam nevoje per ndihmen e dikujt qe kupton proceset e wikipedia me mire se une. Gjeta faqen WikiProjects Albania dhe pashe qe jeni pjestar.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleni_Foureira https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ermal_Meta

Kto dy kengetare do perfaqsojne Qipron dhe Italine respektivisht ne Eurovision 2018 dhe jane me prejardhje nga Fieri. Te lindur ne Shqiperi. Ne momentin qe u shpallen fitues te vendeve te tyre respektive, ja hoqen prejardhjen shqiptare nga pershkrimi nga perdorues anti-shqiptar ne Wikipedia.

Komenti respektiv i fshehur karshi origjines ne background eshte Eshte teper rraciste te thuash qe nje person i lindur ne Shqiperi, dmth shtetas shqiptar, te quhet nje Shqiptar etnik.

Wiki users qe po bejne kto ndryshime jane Alexikoua (ngjan nacionalist grek duke pare ndryshimet qe ben ne menyre konstante) dhe Jjj1238

U bllokova nga nje admisistrator i Wikipedia per 1 jave sepse po beja ndryshime tek te dyja faqet. S'di c'te bej por sdua ta le kete pune me kaq sepse eshte turp te mos mbrojme identitetin e bashkeatdhetarve tane.

Nese nuk ndihmon dot per kete ceshtje, te lutem me drejto te ndonje perdorues qe mundet. Faleminderit. Talksensenow (talk) 18:09, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
