Shimer photo permissions

Shimer seems willing to share some of their copyrighted photos in support of the project. I have my own wishlist, mainly from the Waukegan website archives and a couple of the Oxford viewbook photos. I can't post here, obviously, but will share privately if you like. If you have ideas for what you would like them to license here, let me know in the next few days and I will coordinate the permission letter. I think we are better off if we only ask once. Thanks. --Nasty Housecat (talk) 05:41, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Excellent! That's the kind of take-charge attitude we need. :-) In order of priority, I would say: class pics, theater pics, party/miscellaneous student life pics, and campus pics. (Campus last simply because we can, for the most part, still go back to the site and take pictures.)

There aren't a lot of specific pics I would suggest, but there is one classic overhead shot of what I think was the Fall '94 IS 5 class co-taught by Don and Eileen (identifiable around the table along with some students who graduated in '95), meeting in Infinity. I'm going to have a hell of a time finding it, but it was in several iterations of the catalog. If we could get a freely-licensed version of that shot, that would be exceedingly awesome. -- Visviva (talk) 06:00, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Here is the pic I was thinking of: [1]. I think I have seen cleaner versions. -- Visviva (talk) 07:03, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Actually, strike that -- priority #1 would be freely-licensed pics of Don Moon, Bill Rice and Ron Champagne, if possible. -- Visviva (talk) 06:27, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

BTW - Stupendous pic of Franny Shimer. Nice get! --Nasty Housecat (talk) 05:43, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I acquired another one also, which I will upload shortly though they're pretty similar. -- Visviva (talk) 06:00, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

I just uploaded nineteen new photos to Commons with permission from the school (OTRS is pending). Check them out. --Nasty Housecat (talk) 16:58, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Awesome! Pity about the resolution and the photoshopping, though... -- Visviva (talk) 17:59, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

SLA

Did you wrote this article  : Second language acquisition (2004/11/23's version)

I'm looking for :

1. Nation's (2000) SLA review : "In a review of the substantial literature on this topic, Nation (2000) relates the value of negotiation to the generative use of words: the use of words in new contexts which stimulate a deeper understanding of their meaning." and "Nation (2000) reviews various studies which indicate that about 98% of the words in running text should be previously known in order for extensive reading to be effective." Are you talking about Nation, I.S.P. (2001). Learning vocabulary in another language. Oxford: Oxford University Press. ISBN 0-521-80498-1 ???
2. Long's Interaction Hypothesis : who his Long ? which article ? (reference?)

I will myself focus on Vocabulary acquisition, and these two references may be helpful. Yug (talk) 00:01, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

I did, but it's been a while, and I'm a little hazy on the details. I think you are correct that "Nation (2000)" should be "Nation (2001)". Long is Michael H. Long. The interaction hypothesis was developed by Long in a series of papers in the 1980s; none of them seem to be freely available online, but you may find this overview by Rod Ellis helpful: [2]. Good luck! -- Visviva (talk) 05:36, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

• Ok for Long ! Good !
• Nation (2000) VS Nation (2001): for this 2004/11/23's version you used just ONE paper from Nation as specified in the "References" section ? if so : yes, 2000 => 2001

(the text contain 2 times "Nation (2000)", 1 time "Nation (2001)", and 1 time " Nation, I.S.P. (2001). Learning vocabulary in another language. Oxford: Oxford University Press. ISBN 0-521-80498-1". Learning vocabulary in another language is from 2001, for sure.)

Sorry for insisting. Yug (talk) 12:46, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Article of the month – List of valkyrie names in Norse mythology In Norse mythology, a valkyrie is one of a host of female figures who choose which warriors will win or die in battle. The valkyries bring their chosen who have died bravely in battle to the afterlife hall of the slain, Valhalla, ruled over by the god Odin, where the deceased warriors become einherjar. There, when the einherjar are not preparing for the events of Ragnarök, the valkyries bear them mead. Valkyries also appear as lovers of heroes and other mortals, where they are sometimes described as the daughters of royalty, sometimes accompanied by ravens, and sometimes connected to swans.

If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks!

Shimer College is a small, private, undergraduate liberal arts college in Chicago. Founded by Frances Wood Shimer in 1853 in Mt. Carroll, Illinois, it was a women's school for most of its first century. It joined with the University of Chicago (U. of C.) in 1896, and became one of the first junior colleges in the country in 1907. In 1950, it became a co-educational four-year college, took the name Shimer College, and adopted the Hutchins Plan of Great Books and Socratic seminars then in practice at the U. of C. The U. of C. relationship ended in 1958. Shimer enjoyed national recognition and strong growth in the 1960s but was forced by financial problems to abandon its campus in 1978. It then moved to Waukegan, IL, remaining there until 2006, when it moved to the National Register of Historic Places-listed campus of the Illinois Institute of Technology in the Bronzeville neighborhood in the Douglas community area of Chicago. Classes are exclusively small seminars in which students discuss original source material rather than textbooks. The Early Entrant Program, in place since 1950, allows students who have not yet completed high school to start college early. Shimer has the highest rate of doctoral productivity of any liberal arts college in the country. (more...)

MSU Interview

Dear Visviva,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the communityHERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:

• Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
• Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)

File source problem with File:Silmido map.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Silmido map.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Pulaski (Gary)

I don't understand why you don't think this article is a stub. According to the Wikipedia:WikiProject United States/Assessment standards, the difference between a start-class and a stub-class is in the quality and quantity of the referencing. This article seems pretty well referenced for its length. And your removal of the stub tag from the article also begs the question why you didn't change the assessment on the talk page. Gtwfan52 (talk) 03:22, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Those guidelines seem to be profoundly out of step with the definition of a stub as "an article containing only one or a few sentences of text" (that is also shorter than it should be and capable of expansion). My understanding has been that this is the only reason to use a stub template. If there are serious issues with the referencing or organization of the article, then there are more specific templates for that.

So I guess there are two reasons:

1. I personally think that talk-page assessments in general are a gigantic waste of time that can be better spent doing actual editing, so updating the talk page didn't even cross my mind.

2. WPUS appears to have developed a definition of "stub" that does not correspond to the traditional Wikipedia definition at all, but serves only as a place to file articles of arbitrary length that don't yet meet the criteria for "start class." Thus the operative definitions of "stub" for the article and talk pages are -- it appears -- completely different. (But I didn't notice this until just now.)

BTW, since I was as puzzled by the tag's addition as you were by its removal, I started a discussion here, to see if the Wikipedia:Stub definition is still in keeping with editor practice. -- Visviva (talk) 03:38, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

You know, I had thought at one time that a stub class article was actually lower than a start class article. I can see why the projects use grading, as a means of prioritizing article improvement, but with different editors deciding the upper levels, it all seems kinda silly to me too. But giving gold stars is an age-old motivational tool, and it is hard to give a volunteer a raise, so I guess I get it from that viewpoint too. Not that I care for myself...I just write on the stuff I want to write on and do it for my own satisfaction. Thanks for your input. Gtwfan52 (talk) 04:58, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
