Welcome

edit

It is my pleasure to help. I am very pleased to see so many fine Chinese students contributing to Wikipedia.

My best advice for the students is:

1. Don't be discouraged. Don't be scared.

2. Search Wikipedia to see if the topic already has an article, or could be a section within an article.

3. Search Google, Baidu, Tom, Sina, etc. If the topic is talked about in lots and lots of different websites, it is probably good. If not, it may be deleted.

4. Write in your own words. Don't copy and paste.

5. Don't use Baike or other websites where anybody can add information.

6. Add as many referencs as possible, like this: <ref>http://www.example.com</ref> to the end of the sentences or paragraphs.

7. Add this to the bottom of the article:

==References==
{{reflist}}

8. Look at other articles to see how it is done. Click edit and see how it is put together.

9. Visit http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#wikipedia-en-help. There are lots of people online who can help. It's like very simple QQ. (You can talk to others, and if you see my name on the right, click it, and I will answer.)

If you have any questions at all, please ask. I will help in any way I can. Feel free to copy this message to other students' and teachers' talk pages. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:20, 19 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hello!

Hi Njnu-ban-xueshenghao, welcome to Wikipedia! I work at the Wikimedia Foundation (the non-profit organization that runs Wikipedia), on the Global Education Program, where our main activity is supporting professors who assign their students to edit Wikipedia as part of class. I am very excited to hear about your class, and want to thank you for taking the initiative to engage in using Wikipedia as a teaching tool. Personally I've not heard about any other professor in China doing this, so you are truly a pioneer! Apologies if any of your students were intimidated by comments from other editors or by the Wikipedia interface in general, although it looks like your students are learning Wikipedia-editing quickly, and it looks like a growing number of friendly, open-minded, and awesome Wikipedia editors have come together to help out your class! It is great to have you and your students on Wikipedia. You are very welcome here, and I am excited that your class will add good content about important China-related topics onto Wikipedia.
In the meantime, here are some resources and materials about Wikipedia-editing assignments that might be useful to you.
P.S. Chinese is my native language ("mother tongue"), so feel free to interact with me in Chinese if that's what you or your students would prefer. 中文沒問題!

Synthesis

edit

I would like to add another welcome, and to mention one point which has sometimes caused confusion on class projects. The point of a student paper is often to present a new idea, or to draw a new conclusion from previously-known facts. Neither of these approaches is suitable for Wikipedia, because of the WP:No original research policy, which includes a prohibition of what we call Synthesis: "Do not combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources."

Role accounts / leaving messages as other people

edit

Hi Njnu-ban-xueshenghao. I notice that you left a message on my talk page as "NNU-02-05100143"[1]. I think there's a few reasons this could have happened, #NNU-02-05100143 could have sent the message through your account

  1. NNU-02-05100143 asked you to send the message on their behalf
  2. Something more sinister.

Now, I have no reason to think it's something more sinister, so I'll focus on the first two. If you were asked to send a message on someone's behalf, it's best to make that clear from the post. Also, we are required not to allow other users to our accounts, so that the content can be correctly attributed. Just for future reference, it's worth keeping in mind. WormTT · (talk) 11:18, 21 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

I thought it might be something like that. We do have policies against such things but I'm sure we can let it slide. It's worth keeping in mind for the future - but teaching a class how to ask for help is a very good idea, and I'm honoured that you chose me. WormTT · (talk) 12:54, 21 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

I have recently seen a spate of articles being generated by your project that are in terrible condition. They are unreferenced, and written in very bad English.

Might I suggest that, given the nature of your class, you have your students post their articles in their own user space for review prior to publishing in the main article space?

mountains and canals

edit

Dear teacher, just a couple of comments/questions I gathered over the days...

  • I just stumbled across a canal and a mountain (Jiangjun mountain‎ and Changzhou Ancient Canal‎), that all seem to fit nicely in a park or the like. Are we mistranslating mountain (or, to a lesser extent: canal) in this case?
  • A second complication is that many of the article leads tend to write lots of attributes of the subject, but not what it is. (Jiangjun mountain is located in Tiexin Bridge, Jiangning District, not: Jiangjug mountain is a hill in xxx; or: Kunshi (昆石; pīnyīn: kūnshí), also known as Kūnshānshí,Línglóngshí (玲珑石),originates in the Yufeng Mountain which is also known as Mǎ’ān Mountain in Kunshan, Kunshi is a type of rock (?) xxxx).
  • The students like their eras (xxx happened int he Ming Dynasty etc), units (mu instead of square meters). ). I think it would help them (also in their future jobs) if they were more aware of the limited value that has for non-chinese and that they should automatically be attempting to translate into CE/BCE or m2 etc.
  • I think it would help them (also in their future jobs) if they were more aware of the limited value that has for non-chinese and that they should automatically be attempting to translate into CE/BCE or m2 etc.
  • For some the difference between an essay and a wikipedia entry is still unclear....

Anyway, many are learning! especially those who put some effort in the project! L.tak (talk) 07:49, 4 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

He Josh, just to answer your "move" question: left of the "search bar" is a "move" button as well. Depending on your screen settings, it might be in a mini-drop down list denoted by a triangle... Moving works for articles to article names that have no wikipedia page yet. For most other moves, you'll need to ask an admin here (WP:Requested moves).

NNU Class Project - Winter 2012 - Student account creation

edit

Hi Josh. We are making progress with the account preparation.

So, on your end, you will probably need to prepare the list of account names. We discussed a prefix and name. I like that idea. You can decide. We here if you need help with it.

Basically, it will probably go like this:

  • User:bobrayner, who has kindly offered to help, will let you know what he needs. (I think he would like you to round up some student emails to prevent account creation throttling, or triggering off some sort of computer freakout.)
  • You will probably be asked to email him an Excel list of the names, and maybe passwords.
  • He will email it back to you the list of names and passwords.
  • You print it out triple-spaced and cut it into strips with scissors.
  • Hand them out to the students with instructions to write the account name and number somewhere safe.
  • Paste the account names to the project page.
  • Delete the file from your PC and email.
  • We will see the paste, and add banners and welcomes to the userpages and talk pages.

Please read (the bottom of) Wikipedia talk:School and university projects/NNU Class Project/Winter 2012#Preparation of student accounts and then get in touch with bobrayner. Cheers, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:36, 30 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

The extent of what we do

edit

Hello,

I want to inquire about your preference as to what we do with the drafts at this stage. I assume that we can make formatting / markup / reference changes, as those are not the focus of their assignment, but do you mind if we make changes to the writing (grammar, tone, content, etc.) of the drafts? Ultimately we will be doing it (if necessary) before moving the articles to mainspace, but I'd like to know whether you think doing it now would interfere with your teaching goals, and whether you'd prefer it if we offered suggestions instead of making the changes ourselves. (I'm using we, but I'm really just asking "if I end up doing something, should I do that?" Other helpers may feel that fixing articles up for Wikipedia is their job regardless of your preference.)

Strange hours

Wow. Sleep, then up in six hours, early, to do more? Don't blow a gasket. :)

I see you've added the suggestion section as "Feedback from Josh", as the first section. I am happy with that. We didn't discuss multiple helpers giving feedback on multiple articles. Should we each handle a cluster of articles and stick to those? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:37, 10 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Don't ask. Running mighty low on gaskets. Yes, "Feedback from Josh" had been my ad hoc solution. At the moment still have hard copies to mark-up, so online commentary will not be immediately fulsome from me. I am happy with multiple feedback sources if you are. Too many cooks make a great article, as the old adage goes. Irresponsible mutation of proverbs aside, it ends up getting tricky to divide labour, because of pacing and absency issues. However, I am amenable to the suggestion if that's what you would prefer. Njnu-ban-xueshenghao (talk) 00:01, 11 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

To you: You're a great teacher. You've got these students actually producing really good content. I'm surrounded by teachers here, and know the score. You are miles ahead of them. What you're doing should be copied by others. Consider teaching the teachers. :)

Thanks! The French teacher caught me doing hard-copy mark-ups and was very interested, though of course that's fr.wikipedia. Will try to spread the bug through the department...Njnu-ban-xueshenghao (talk) 16:42, 13 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

To the students: We are very impressed. Over the years, we have read many, many English language texts written by Chinese people, from university website information pages, to newspaper articles. In these NNU articles I am reading good content that is encylopedic, grammatically correct, and well organized. You are all doing a wonderful job. Keep up the good work, and tell Josh he's wonderful once in a while. He's working very hard, and we can all see your English skill improving very quickly.

Should I re-post this on talkpage? They're unlikely to see it here, and of course it's valuable encouragement! (To me as well as them!)

Would love to post this copiously, but am sadlly an itinerant teacher with no classroom of my own. Perhaps it should go on the talkpage? Njnu-ban-xueshenghao (talk) 16:40, 13 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Maybe the talk page isn't such a good plan. :) I know. Let's get some t-shirts made up! Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:24, 15 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Googling

edit

Please let students with mainspace articles know that in a few days their articles will google to #1 place for the whole planet to see. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 15:27, 13 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Will do! Njnu-ban-xueshenghao (talk) 16:43, 13 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Removing wiki refs

edit

This is strange. Is this student still using the source, but removing the url? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:21, 15 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Well, they were encyclopaedia links all backing up real sources. Perhaps she was intending to wikilink? In any case, the Chinese sources are all solid print stuff.

Fair enough. Thanks. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:40, 15 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Yingze street

He Josh, I just moved the article to main space, but have still some minor issues to be addressed. Could you help the students and me out at Wikipedia:School_and_university_projects/NNU_Class_Project/Winter_2012/Help#Yingze_Street_asks_for_help? Thanks! L.tak (talk) 20:43, 6 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hello Njnu-ban-xueshenghao. I am thrilled at seeing the results, so far, that have flourished from this project. You surely remember the rough start; and that we saw the power of a moral compass; from the moment Anna Frodesiak posted her first comment to that thread. I send to each of you my high regards.

Wikipedia Help Survey

edit

Hi there, my name's Peter Coombe and I'm a Wikimedia Community Fellow working on a project to improve Wikipedia's help system. At the moment I'm trying to learn more about how people use and find the current help pages. If you could help by filling out this brief survey about your experiences, I'd be very grateful. It should take less than 10 minutes, and your responses will not be tied to your username in any way.

Thank you for your time,

Barnstars for students

edit

Hello Josh. If you think there are some students who might log back into Wikipedia, and who were really productive, consider giving them a Barnstar. Best wishes, and hope to see you back. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 07:45, 18 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

A barnstar for you!
