Change in your user rights

edit

Your Wikipedia account was previously granted a user right called "course instructor" by the Wiki Education Foundation. That right enabled you to create a course page through the EducationProgram MediaWiki extension. Starting in fall 2015, the Wiki Education Foundation has discontinued its use of this extension. Going forward, users should create course pages through the Wiki Education Foundation website. That application is more user-friendly, and any content is automatically mirrored to Wikipedia. To prevent confusion, we'll be removing your "course instructor" user right, as it is not needed with the new system. This is simply a notification of the technical change to your account. No action is needed from you at this time.

If you plan on teaching with Wikipedia for the fall 2015 term, please email me (helaine wikiedu.org) for instructions how to create your next course page using our new system. --Helaine (Wiki Ed) (talk), sent by MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:34, 21 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

On wikipedia groups

edit

Dear Khaled,

I just got to know there is an important groups of people in Translation Studies working with Wikipedia.

I have written their coordinator the following email under your name and my name (I have sent this email to your yahoo address):


Dear Carol O'Sullivan,

I am writing to express interest in Wikipedia-related activities. Dr. Khaled Al-Shehari (User: kshehari, Sultan Qaboos University) and myself (User:mcptrad, Universitat Jaume I, Castellón, Spain) have already created a group around teaching to translate with Wikipedia. "

https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Teaching_Translation_via_Wikipedia

In fact, this initiative was born some time ago (in 2011) in Castellón de la Plana, Spain:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:School_and_university_projects/Universitat_Jaume_I_-_E-translating


We have already presented our methodology in a handful of conferences and have been financed by Spanish academic bodies. Dr. Al-Shehari has expounded the project and has given it a new impulse. As you can see from the pages above, there is an important bunch of people interested in the group. We putting a great effort into expanding the group into a network. We now work with university students to translate into Spanish, Catalan, English, Arabic from various parts of the world.

If you are interested in establishing links with us we will be really happy, since we believe working with Wikipedia is/should be a collaborative work effort.

Best for now

Khaled Al- Shehari and María Calzada Pérez


I hope this gives visibility to our group. I am terribly busy but I do not want to lose contact. Please notice we have updated the groups's Wikimedia page and that we have new ideas for the group. We should chat at some point. Take care. --Mcptrad (talk) 09:51, 1 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
