Dear Rob Schnautz (WMF), thank you for stopping by the Teahouse. Wikipedia is a community of people working together to make knowledge free. You are an important part of that effort! Sarah ( talk) 21:39, 8 March 2012 (UTC) |

Hi,
Are you going to respond to Problems & what we are doing about them/learning from them I've been trying for almost a month to get some closure to this and have been routed from one editor to another, each one stating it is not within their purview, or referring me to the "Online Ambassadors Selection Committee". As noted on that page, one of my last attempts was here: JMathewson's English Wikipedia talk page. I implore you to read what is written there. As noted there, two other editors besides me have noticed this problem and expressed concern regarding the copyvio/plagiarism etc. issues.
As I said there: I suggest that you look through Wikipedia talk:United States Education Program/Archive 1 and Wikipedia talk:United States Education Program/Archive 2 and search for "cindy" you will get an inkling of the degree her approach disrupted the en:wp community. Please, I urge that efforts be made to ensure that these Online Ambassadors are competent. I'm not the only one who has a problem with "cindy". See that same online ambassador is in charge of the single class that has given me the most headaches - SandyGeorgia Also, see comments from Dcoetzee. This all began because I failed her GA nomination because of copyvio/plagiarism/close paraphrasing concerns. See Talk:Douglas W. Owsley/GA1.
I'd appreciate some closure on this issue, especially since this editor is on the "Online Ambassador Selection Committee".
Thanks, MathewTownsend ( talk) 18:00, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
I have already found out that there is no group/process over them and there is no oversight process. Pharos has informed me that the Wikipedia:Ambassadors/Steering Committee/Online Ambassador selection process etc. is currently inactive, although the specific editor in question is still putting "welcome templates" on pages advertising her position on it. Are you aware that many of the Wikipedia:United States Education Program/Courses/Present have no Campus Ambassadors? MathewTownsend ( talk) 18:11, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I searched for a pic: there's one on FB and one on Commons, neither of them particularly appropriate. Any chance you could upload a descent one (or two)? Any pointers to other pics related to the content of the interview that we could use? Tony (talk) 12:49, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
When something like this is set up, do you know who makes sure the students understand our guidelines and policies. I've just found someone adding obvious copyvio edits (and signing them) from this project. See my comments at User talk:Sub specie aeternitatis. Thanks. Moonriddengirl suggested I ask you, by the way. Dougweller ( talk) 14:55, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
The last few days (March 14-17) have seen several articles on manuscripts commissioned by John, Duke of Berry being greatly expanded by different new editors - Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, Hours of Jeanne d'Evreux, and Belles Heures of Jean de France, Duc de Berry are affected, and maybe others. The edits are college-level. I can't see any such course-based initiative on Outreach, but do you know anything about this? Thanks Johnbod ( talk) 17:38, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Hello Rob -- John CD mentioned to me on my talk page that you are a newly-appointed educational support guy. I don't have any particular needs right now, but I just wanted to make you aware that I have a university project going on this semester. You can read about it on my talk page. It's pretty standard and basic Wikipedia editing. In fact, it's for an editing class. :-) Thanks for your support in general! -- Mportolano ( talk) 16:17, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
Please leave your availability for the April Wikipedia Education Program Metrics and Activities Meeting on this Doodle so we can find the best time for all of us.
I also need a volunteer to lead the meeting! Will you help? Leave a message. It requires no advanced preparation, just the ability to welcome everyone and move us through the agenda. -- LiAnna Davis (WMF) ( talk)

I need your help to lead the next Wikipedia Education Program Metrics and Activities Meeting! Will you leave a message if you can help? It requires no advanced preparation, just the ability to welcome everyone and move us through the agenda.

Hi,
I replied to your comments made in Pine's box to me. [1]
Didn't know if you would see them or not. I'm never clear where to post my Education Program comments. And I don't want to be accused of breaking a rule.
Thanks, MathewTownsend ( talk) 02:31, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
I sent an email to the ambassador mailing list but it hasn't come back to my inbox. Can you check to see if the list rejected it? Pine (talk) 23:01, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi Rob, I think that you'll want to look at the questions and comments from Mike Christie here and LauraHale here, and my responses. I think that these discussions may help you as you develop your report to the WMF WEP team. Pine (talk) 06:30, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
This one appears to be used. Also, our NYC area meetings are held at NYU. So I removed your speedy tag. Send it to XfD if you disagree. Bearian ( talk) 20:58, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for expressing interest in the Wikipedia Education Program Metrics and Activities Meeting.

I've just requested deletion of about 30 subpages within my userspace that included completed work and presentations in progress from my previous service as an Online Ambassador and member of the Steering Committee. Seems there's no use to keep this information anymore. If you have use, please feel free. Best regards, Cindy( talk to me) 14:15, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
You're welcome. I have seen a lot of course pages posted directly on that page and they could have received more support if the professor have contacted us ahead of time. I might have missed a few countries though (or included countries whose projects are not active at the moment, such as India) OhanaUnited Talk page 18:21, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
