A Wikiversity professor needs to use Wikipedia edit

Latest comment: 8 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hi - I am Wikiversity:User:Guy vandegrift and am looking for a way to set learning free by having students watch these videos in the classroom and contribute to them on Wikipedia. I would do this on Wikiversity, but the Wikipedia:Education_program excludes Wikiversity. The goal will be to create 6 pages

Question edit

While Wikiversity guidelines would never exclude an article appropriate for Wikipedia, many excellent Wikiversity projects are not suitable for Wikipedia. Unfortunately the Wikipedia:Education_program does not yet include Wikiversity. To temporarily alleviate that problem, Wikivesity pages need to be written on Wikipedia an then imported to Wikiversity after they have been collaboratively edited using the Wikipedia:Education_program. Would this be an acceptable way to do this?:

How We Got to Now - Glass/Adaptive Optics would extract from Wikipedia articles and begin with the Wikipedia article, W. M. Keck Observatory. To make this project accessible to the widest possible audience, Wikiversity pages are acceptable even if Wikipedia is the main source of information. This is one of many examples of such articles that could be placed on Wikiversity.
