A tag has been placed on Template:Citizen corps requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.
If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).

Hi Smallman12q/Archive 4,
Your work as an Online Ambassador is making a big contribution to Wikipedia. Right now, we're trying to measure just how much student work improves the quality of Wikipedia. If you'd like contribute to this research and get a firsthand look at the quality improvement that is happening through the project, please sign up to assess articles. Assessment is happening now, just use the quantitative metric and start assessing! Your help would be hugely appreciated!

Hi Smallman12q, Thanks for helping us out with our article. We have updated the greenhouse gas analysis under the article "CEQA" on wiki and was hoping you could give us some input. I also had a question on references. I use the same reference several times throughout my article and it shows up as a separate citation in the reference section. Is this standard? It would be nice if it showed up as one link placed throughout the article. Thanks again Brandon Liddell ( talk) 01:11, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
![]() | On 7 May 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Nude Nuns with Big Guns, which you created or substantially expanded.

You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

As I had indicated on my talk page, I see it as an unencyclopedic Wikipedia self-reference; nobody is going to search for "red link" and want to reach an article either on hyperlink nor on wiki markup. In addition, the title is being used all over the Wikipedia as an example of a red link (and had been protected for that reason for several years). If you disagree with my deletion, you can challenge it at deletion review. - Mike Rosoft ( talk) 03:50, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi, you popped up on my watchlist and I'm too lazy to log into email to reply so am replying here re your offer for Murasaki Shikibu sources. At the moment I'm in information overload, still have a few books to get through and a few databases to check, so I'm thinking I'd prefer to wait. Once I've been through everything I can find, if you have access to anything that's not covered, I'd be more than happy to have it. I'm expecting this to take a fairly long time - she is an important figure, and although not too much known about her biography, much has been written about her. Thanks again.

Even though it's been quiet on-wiki, the Wikipedia Ambassador Program has been busy over the last few months getting ready for the next term. We're heading toward over 80 classes in the US, across all disciplines. You'll see courses start popping up here, and this time we want to match one or more Online Ambassadors to each class based on interest or expertise in the subject matter. If you see a class that you're interested, please contact the professor and/or me; the sooner the Ambassadors and professors get in communication, the better things go. Look for more in the coming weeks about next term.
In the meantime, with a little help I've identified all the articles students did significant work on in the last term. Many of the articles have never been assessed, or have ratings that are out of date from before the students improved them. Please help assess them! Pick a class, or just a few articles, and give them a rating (and add a relevant WikiProject banner if there isn't one), and then update the list of articles.
Once we have updated assessments for all these articles, we can get a better idea of how quality varied from course to course, and which approaches to running Wikipedia assignments and managing courses are most effective.

Hello,
Wikid77 here. Sorry for the snippy treatment of that article "I thought he was..." but this is a very busy time for Wikipedians. Many students are preparing to restart classes in mid-August, within 2 weeks. July is usually the worst (lowest) month for the English WP (...you might even be too busy to read this message now...). There have been many prior articles which covered negative remarks, so deletion tends to be quick. The article you had created was well-written, with good sources, on an important topic, but not NPOV-balanced to be a separate page. Perhaps there should be a broader article about people getting fired/suspended for saying 1 wrong word, but usually there cannot be a separate article for each person's particular remarks. Remember,
Jimmy the Greek,
Whoopie Goldberg,
Bill Maher, or
Gilbert Gottfried also lost their jobs due to remarks they had made. In the busy-July rush, your new article was viewed as collecting negative remarks into a short, negative article, with little emphasis on "fantastic complements stated" by the same person; hence, it was viewed as POV-slanted toward the insulting remarks, as being a
WP:Attack_page.
There are NPOV limits to what most articles can contain, as isolated text. Article topics should be balanced, and avoid slanted titles; so even overly-positive titles can be a problem as well, such as article title "I think Obama is a genius" would be viewed as an unbalanced, promotional or propaganda page. Similarly, article titles should not advocate an opinion, such as title "Israel should deport all Palestinians" or an opposite title, "I think Palestinians should reclaim all lands". Also, individual notability involves a long-term impact, which is difficult to predict, except with major disasters or such. A hurricane (or tropical storm) has individual notability for the potential to sink ships, crash planes, flood towns, flatten buildings and injure/kill many people, as a long-term impact. For that reason, a hurricane goes beyond
WP:NOTNEWS and gets a separate article immediately, expecting future reports of sunken ships, etc. However, for remarks made by famous people, it is difficult to predict when major, dedicated reports about those single remarks will continue to be published months into the future. As I read
WP:GNG, unless a specific topic has easily predictable future coverage in major reports (or large sections of a book or film, etc.), then it does not qualify for individual notability, and cannot have a separate article, nor a major section of another article. I hope this helps to clarify the situation, and perhaps other people will have more time, later, to discuss these issues. Anyway, I regret that your well-worded, sourced text was deleted, and I hope you continue to find less-contentious areas to edit. Sorry for being so short or confusing, gotta run. -

Hello! If you're planning to be an active Online Ambassador for the upcoming academic term, now is the time to join one or more pods. (A pod consists of the instructor, the Campus Ambassadors, and the Online Ambassadors for single class.) The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) explains the expectations for being part of a pod as an Online Ambassador. (The MOU for pods in Canada is essentially the same.) In short, the role of Online Ambassadors this term consists of:
This replaces the 1-on-1 mentoring role for Online Ambassadors that we had in previous terms; rather than being responsible for individual students (some of whom don't want or help or are unresponsive), Online Ambassadors will be there to help whichever students in their class(es) ask for help.
You can browse the upcoming courses here: United States; Canada. More are being added as new pods become active and create their course pages.
Once you've found a class that you want to work with—especially if you some interest or expertise in the topic area—you should sign the MOU listing for that class and get in touch with the instructor. We're hoping to have at least two Online Ambassadors per pod, and more for the larger classes.
If you're up for supporting any kind of class and would like me to assign you to a pod in need of more Online Ambassadors, just let me know.

Thank you for uploading File:The Way Things Work TV Series.png. 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.

Hi there. Just happened to find these 2 categories, but their existence is rather counter-intuitive. And from history you are the creator of them. What are Category:Chinese idioms with english equivalent and Category:English idioms with chinese equivalent supposed to contain? "易如反掌" and " as easy as pie" share no similarity besides both meaning "very easy", the paper quoted actually says thay have different origins. Therefore, it seems that I can pair up another Chinese idioms meaning "very easy" with as easy as pie. Could you name another example that fits into these categories?

Hello, Ambassadors!
I wanted to give you one last update on where we are this term, before my role as Online Facilitator wraps up at the end of this week. Already, there are over 800 students in U.S. classes who have signed up on course pages this term. About 40 classes are active, and we're expecting that many more again once all the classes are up and running.
On a personal note, it's been a huge honor to work with so many great Wikipedians over the last 15 months. Thanks so much to everyone who jumped in and decided to give the ambassador concept a try, and double thanks those of you who were involved early on. Your ideas and insights and enthusiasm have been the foundation of the program, and they will be the keys the future of the program.
Still waiting to get involved with a class this term, or ready to take on more? We have seven classes that are already active and need OA support, and eleven more that have course pages started but don't have active students yet. Please consider joining one or more of these pods!

Hi Smallman12q,
This is SilvrWings, a graduate student at UofT's iSchool.

Hello Smallman, I'm one of Dr. Munger's psych students and I'm trying to figure out how I should cite a source I found. It isn't a journal article, but it is research from the World Bank research group that has been posted online. If you could get back to me about that, it would be lovely. Thank you for your time.

Hey there, I saw one of your posts on the Invader Zim talkpage and was curious about getting Operation Head Pigeons on the article while meeting wikipedia's standards. So far for citable matters: we have a Tweet from Nickelodeon saying "Hey Zimfans, take a break from operation head pigeons and watch the invader zim marathon" which, in my ten years of fandom, is a huge deal for a revival campaign for Zim to be publically acknowledged by Nick. We also are mentioned as having a panel at Invadercon 2010 on their official website. I've asked OHP's founder to see if Nick will throw a bone and acknowledge we got "Operation: Doom" released but until then I'd love for some assistance.Gingershepherd (talk) 05:12, 22 November 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gingershepherd ( talk • contribs)
Fantastic, I'll see if our founder can arrange such. Now, Invadercon is something we find worthy of being in the article as well. There's a link on the invader zim discussion page I posted about Nick execs being "overwhelmed" at Invadercon. verifiable source? it was linked on invadercon.com but that doesn't feel enough to me.

Thanks! I am somewhat familiar with the topic. The article could be expanded to include economic information (revenue/profit of biobanks), in technology (automation in storage/data collection such as in assays, usage in bioinformatics), and with some statistics (growth of size in biobanks, number of biobanks, distribution, specialization, etc). I created a stub for virtual biobanks which are essentially databases, though some offer limited automated/semi-automated remote testing. I don't do campus ambassador stuff, though I am an online ambassador=P. Smallman12q ( talk) 01:48, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
Much thanks for your willingness to be an ambassador! I will be putting students into teams in approx. 1 week and assigning their articles.

Hi- FYI, I put my students into their teams as shown at the industrial psych course page.

All teams have been instructed to submit a report to me by class next Tuesday, where they detail their initial plans (next 2 weeks). Specifically, Once I receive these I will also have the students share this information with you and the other course ambassador. What do you think would be the best way to do that?

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:FileServe screenshot.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Hi Smallman, I've been looking up some criticisms of dimensional models of personality disorders (the approach as a whole, not any specific model), and I was just wondering how I should go about structuring my article. You said that each section should probably have its own criticism sub-section, so where in the article should I put criticism of the whole approach? I would assume I should do it at the end, but I feel like the "contents" section would then look kind of weird:
4 DSM-V
5 Criticism
Is that sort of thing (aesthetic appeal) even something I should take into consideration, or should I just ignore it possibly looking awkward/redundant? Thanks! Allexe11 ( talk) 02:32, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
Hiyas there Smallman12q,
Yesterday i came across the article Mechanical Aptitude, which is currently being worked on as part of the Industrial Psychology course for which you are listed as one of the ambassadors. The article needed a histmerge (which is now fixed), but afterwards i noticed that the " Wiesen Test of Mechanical Aptitude" section is almost entirely a literal word-for-word copy of the source. I didn't have the time to do a complete check, but a few Google searches on the rest of the content makes me suspect it is mostly minor rewording from other sources.
I'm afraid i lack sufficient editing time lately, so if i were to action this with a comment to the users or similar i'd be very likely to miss the response for some time. Any chance you could have a look? Thanks in advance! Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs) 12:48, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi Smallman12q, our assignment for class this week is to find a page to critique and make suggestions to. I posted in the talk page of the Dopamine receptor D4, could you please tell me if my suggestion is appropriate, and if I used the correct formatting? Also, how do I link to other Wiki pages, like if I would like to link you directly to the page I posted on? Thank you!! Linp11 ( talk) 15:56, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi Smallman12q, my name is Paige and I too would appreciate feedback on expanding/revising the Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory to include origin, evolution, critique and revisals, and current applications.

Hey Smallman12q, I was wondering if you could take a look at my "rough draft" for my wiki article entry ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Moonpe11/sandbox).

Hi, I've also written a small rough draft for my article. Mine is on how personality changes through a life span. Any feedback you could give would be helpful. It's in my sandbox. I'm having a problem with my citations, though. I have cited the same article in 2 different places. I thought it would add the same footnote as the previous time I cited it. Is that misguided? Right now, the same citation shows up twice on my references list. Is it possible to get rid of that? Desasu11 ( talk) 23:51, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Smallman12q, I have a couple of questions. First of all, is it standard for psychology pages on Wikipedia to abide by the medical referencing standards? I can't find any page that links medical referencing to psychology articles, and I notice that most other psychology articles do not abide by those guidelines. However, personality judgment has been tagged as needing to implement medical referencing, amongst other things. Also, I was wondering what the policy was for removing articles from DYK nomination and closing the nomination. Discussion on personality judgment has become stagnant, and I was wondering if it would be acceptable for me to just close the nomination? I don't want to do that if it is against guidelines. Thank you so much for your help! Whitmb11 ( talk) 21:21, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi Smallman - there is a particular user who has reviewed many of the DYKs for our articles. Most people have not addressed the concerns yet, but I assume everyone will be doing so within the following week. I tried to respond to the concerns by editing my article, and after doing so asked if they could let me know if there were any additional issues that should be addressed. The result was that my article is now being nominated for deletion. This user has also posted on our class page criticizing us for our DYK nominations and not responding to feedback fast enough. I understand the argument that our articles may not have really been ready for DYK; however, I am wondering if this user is justified in their criticisms of our articles, the timeliness of our responses, and the suggested deletion of my page after I tried to make the appropriate changes. It seems to me this person is being unusually harsh on us and is violating the etiquette rule of "don't bite the newbies". Since we are still learning about contributing to Wikipedia, I was just wondering if this person is correct in their criticisms and we are going about things wrong, and if this is normal for interactions between contributors (especially new contributors) and reviewers. Thanks for your help. Allexe11 ( talk) 18:50, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
The points brought up in the DYK review are still valid. The lead still does not summarize the article. Also there should be more discussion on the topic of dimensional models as a whole, and not just the individual models. While the article is at AFD, it is on hold at DYK.

Moonpe11 ( talk) 11:34, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
Hey Smallman. I was just doing some copyediting and getting ready to move my page out of my sandbox when I noticed that a similar article had recently been posted: Facet_(psychology).

The article Google Data Liberation Front has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Hi there. I'm sorry about the flood of deletion notices. I'm in a transfer to Commons binge right now, and I hit upon your uploads. When I saw a few of your uploads had everything filled in correctly at the information template (which is rare, sadly) I tend to just do that person's entire upload stream at once. Don't want to make it look like I'm picking on you, I'm actually quite thankful that you're making it easy for me.
In the future though, if you could upload free images to Commons, I'd be appreciated. There are 300,000 files needing transfer, adding more to the list just makes it a longer process to migrate things. Sven Manguard Wha? 02:37, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading
File:Word 2007 Page zoom.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a
claim of fair use. However, it is currently
orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed.
You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see
our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot ( talk) 05:07, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
You recently posted an video to the HDD article that was uploaded to the commons by William S. Hammack and I see from yr contributions you have added a number of other Hammack (aka engineeringuy) videos to various articles. Is there any relationship between you and Hammack? If so, the posting may be improper.
The Hammack HDD video is pretty good but I don't think it belongs in the lede and I'm not sure it should be in an article since about half way thru it I saw what appeared to be an advertisement. I don't have time to edit any ads out of the video, but I am going to move it into the article to a point where I think it is more appropriate. Tom94022 ( talk) 15:57, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
Hey, Smallman! If you have some time to review the quality of some articles, we're using the results for a really important research project that will help shape the future of the US/Canada Education Program. For a few projects, we're on a pretty tight timeline and are really eager to have many more of these articles reviewed over the next week. However, we think it's most useful to come from experienced Wikipedia editors.
I have gone through each class to prioritize for various projects, and everyone on the Education team at the Wikimedia Foundation would be extremely grateful if you could participate by reviewing a few articles ('pre' and 'post' versions). If we can rally a lot of editors to review one or two articles each day, we will be able to make the most use of this research for our tight timeline. As many of our Ambassadors have requested it, we are really eager to find out which classes have been successful according to the Wikipedian standard.
If you can spare some time, please check out these priority articles and give it a go. Even 1 or 2 a day would help immensely! JMathewson (WMF) ( talk) 02:12, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Justin Bieber on Twitter is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Justin Bieber on Twitter until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article.

Hi Smallman12q, thanks for the feedback. The trouble arises when students often work in groups or when other editors contribute to an article while students are working on it -- professors generally find going edit-by-edit through students' work time consuming, and there's no very easy way for them to do something like "show all edits to this page by XX username" without installing something like WikiTrust. Hope that clarifies a bit what I meant! -- LiAnna Davis (WMF) ( talk) 06:20, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:
It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.
At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).
Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

As I had indicated on my talk page, I see it as an unencyclopedic Wikipedia self-reference; nobody is going to search for "red link" and want to reach an article either on hyperlink nor on wiki markup. In addition, the title is being used all over the Wikipedia as an example of a red link (and had been protected for that reason for several years). If you disagree with my deletion, you can challenge it at deletion review. - Mike Rosoft ( talk) 03:50, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi, you popped up on my watchlist and I'm too lazy to log into email to reply so am replying here re your offer for Murasaki Shikibu sources. At the moment I'm in information overload, still have a few books to get through and a few databases to check, so I'm thinking I'd prefer to wait. Once I've been through everything I can find, if you have access to anything that's not covered, I'd be more than happy to have it. I'm expecting this to take a fairly long time - she is an important figure, and although not too much known about her biography, much has been written about her. Thanks again.

Even though it's been quiet on-wiki, the Wikipedia Ambassador Program has been busy over the last few months getting ready for the next term. We're heading toward over 80 classes in the US, across all disciplines. You'll see courses start popping up here, and this time we want to match one or more Online Ambassadors to each class based on interest or expertise in the subject matter. If you see a class that you're interested, please contact the professor and/or me; the sooner the Ambassadors and professors get in communication, the better things go. Look for more in the coming weeks about next term.
In the meantime, with a little help I've identified all the articles students did significant work on in the last term. Many of the articles have never been assessed, or have ratings that are out of date from before the students improved them. Please help assess them! Pick a class, or just a few articles, and give them a rating (and add a relevant WikiProject banner if there isn't one), and then update the list of articles.
Once we have updated assessments for all these articles, we can get a better idea of how quality varied from course to course, and which approaches to running Wikipedia assignments and managing courses are most effective.

Hello,
Wikid77 here. Sorry for the snippy treatment of that article "I thought he was..." but this is a very busy time for Wikipedians. Many students are preparing to restart classes in mid-August, within 2 weeks. July is usually the worst (lowest) month for the English WP (...you might even be too busy to read this message now...). There have been many prior articles which covered negative remarks, so deletion tends to be quick. The article you had created was well-written, with good sources, on an important topic, but not NPOV-balanced to be a separate page. Perhaps there should be a broader article about people getting fired/suspended for saying 1 wrong word, but usually there cannot be a separate article for each person's particular remarks. Remember,
Jimmy the Greek,
Whoopie Goldberg,
Bill Maher, or
Gilbert Gottfried also lost their jobs due to remarks they had made. In the busy-July rush, your new article was viewed as collecting negative remarks into a short, negative article, with little emphasis on "fantastic complements stated" by the same person; hence, it was viewed as POV-slanted toward the insulting remarks, as being a
WP:Attack_page.
There are NPOV limits to what most articles can contain, as isolated text. Article topics should be balanced, and avoid slanted titles; so even overly-positive titles can be a problem as well, such as article title "I think Obama is a genius" would be viewed as an unbalanced, promotional or propaganda page. Similarly, article titles should not advocate an opinion, such as title "Israel should deport all Palestinians" or an opposite title, "I think Palestinians should reclaim all lands". Also, individual notability involves a long-term impact, which is difficult to predict, except with major disasters or such. A hurricane (or tropical storm) has individual notability for the potential to sink ships, crash planes, flood towns, flatten buildings and injure/kill many people, as a long-term impact. For that reason, a hurricane goes beyond
WP:NOTNEWS and gets a separate article immediately, expecting future reports of sunken ships, etc. However, for remarks made by famous people, it is difficult to predict when major, dedicated reports about those single remarks will continue to be published months into the future. As I read
WP:GNG, unless a specific topic has easily predictable future coverage in major reports (or large sections of a book or film, etc.), then it does not qualify for individual notability, and cannot have a separate article, nor a major section of another article. I hope this helps to clarify the situation, and perhaps other people will have more time, later, to discuss these issues. Anyway, I regret that your well-worded, sourced text was deleted, and I hope you continue to find less-contentious areas to edit. Sorry for being so short or confusing, gotta run. -

Hello! If you're planning to be an active Online Ambassador for the upcoming academic term, now is the time to join one or more pods. (A pod consists of the instructor, the Campus Ambassadors, and the Online Ambassadors for single class.) The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) explains the expectations for being part of a pod as an Online Ambassador. (The MOU for pods in Canada is essentially the same.) In short, the role of Online Ambassadors this term consists of:
This replaces the 1-on-1 mentoring role for Online Ambassadors that we had in previous terms; rather than being responsible for individual students (some of whom don't want or help or are unresponsive), Online Ambassadors will be there to help whichever students in their class(es) ask for help.
You can browse the upcoming courses here: United States; Canada. More are being added as new pods become active and create their course pages.
Once you've found a class that you want to work with—especially if you some interest or expertise in the topic area—you should sign the MOU listing for that class and get in touch with the instructor. We're hoping to have at least two Online Ambassadors per pod, and more for the larger classes.
If you're up for supporting any kind of class and would like me to assign you to a pod in need of more Online Ambassadors, just let me know.

I'm collecting examples of US federal agency policies that allow/enable their staff to edit Wikipedia at work. My agency may move a bit forward on this.

I was glad to see your proposal about NASA.

Hi there. Just happened to find these 2 categories, but their existence is rather counter-intuitive. And from history you are the creator of them. What are Category:Chinese idioms with english equivalent and Category:English idioms with chinese equivalent supposed to contain? "易如反掌" and " as easy as pie" share no similarity besides both meaning "very easy", the paper quoted actually says thay have different origins. Therefore, it seems that I can pair up another Chinese idioms meaning "very easy" with as easy as pie. Could you name another example that fits into these categories?

Hello, Ambassadors!
I wanted to give you one last update on where we are this term, before my role as Online Facilitator wraps up at the end of this week. Already, there are over 800 students in U.S. classes who have signed up on course pages this term. About 40 classes are active, and we're expecting that many more again once all the classes are up and running.
On a personal note, it's been a huge honor to work with so many great Wikipedians over the last 15 months. Thanks so much to everyone who jumped in and decided to give the ambassador concept a try, and double thanks those of you who were involved early on. Your ideas and insights and enthusiasm have been the foundation of the program, and they will be the keys the future of the program.
Still waiting to get involved with a class this term, or ready to take on more? We have seven classes that are already active and need OA support, and eleven more that have course pages started but don't have active students yet. Please consider joining one or more of these pods!

Hey there, I saw one of your posts on the Invader Zim talkpage and was curious about getting Operation Head Pigeons on the article while meeting wikipedia's standards. So far for citable matters: we have a Tweet from Nickelodeon saying "Hey Zimfans, take a break from operation head pigeons and watch the invader zim marathon" which, in my ten years of fandom, is a huge deal for a revival campaign for Zim to be publically acknowledged by Nick. We also are mentioned as having a panel at Invadercon 2010 on their official website. I've asked OHP's founder to see if Nick will throw a bone and acknowledge we got "Operation: Doom" released but until then I'd love for some assistance.Gingershepherd (talk) 05:12, 22 November 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gingershepherd ( talk • contribs)

Thanks for your contribution to the biobank article. Do you know about this topic? I want the article to be good and would love some advice on what needs to be included. Do you do campus ambassador stuff? I do in Seattle. Thanks for doing good work. Blue Rasberry (talk) 19:38, 1 February 2012 (UTC) |
Thanks! I am somewhat familiar with the topic. The article could be expanded to include economic information (revenue/profit of biobanks), in technology (automation in storage/data collection such as in assays, usage in bioinformatics), and with some statistics (growth of size in biobanks, number of biobanks, distribution, specialization, etc). I created a stub for virtual biobanks which are essentially databases, though some offer limited automated/semi-automated remote testing. I don't do campus ambassador stuff, though I am an online ambassador=P. Smallman12q ( talk) 01:48, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
Much thanks for your willingness to be an ambassador! I will be putting students into teams in approx. 1 week and assigning their articles. I will let you and the other ambassador, Bobrayner ( talk · contribs) know when that occurs. There are a couple students who have yet to add their wikipedia names to the students section of the class page - I am working to get them up to speed and weeding out those who just need technological help versus those who are slackers!

Hi- FYI, I put my students into their teams as shown at the industrial psych course page. The two articles with only one student are graduate students, and thus they are required to revise an entire article. All teams have been instructed to submit a report to me by class next Tuesday, where they detail their initial plans (next 2 weeks). Specifically, Once I receive these I will also have the students share this information with you and the other course ambassador. What do you think would be the best way to do that? They won't be making any actual wikipedia page edits for some time - they are tasked for now to do research on the article topic and evaluate the existing article content. Thanks!

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:FileServe screenshot.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Hi Smallman, I've been looking up some criticisms of dimensional models of personality disorders (the approach as a whole, not any specific model), and I was just wondering how I should go about structuring my article. You said that each section should probably have its own criticism sub-section, so where in the article should I put criticism of the whole approach? I would assume I should do it at the end, but I feel like the "contents" section would then look kind of weird:
4 DSM-V
5 Criticism
Is that sort of thing (aesthetic appeal) even something I should take into consideration, or should I just ignore it possibly looking awkward/redundant? Thanks! Allexe11 ( talk) 02:32, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
Hiyas there Smallman12q,
Yesterday i came across the article Mechanical Aptitude, which is currently being worked on as part of the Industrial Psychology course for which you are listed as one of the ambassadors. The article needed a histmerge (which is now fixed), but afterwards i noticed that the " Wiesen Test of Mechanical Aptitude" section is almost entirely a literal word-for-word copy of the source. I didn't have the time to do a complete check, but a few Google searches on the rest of the content makes me suspect it is mostly minor rewording from other sources.
I'm afraid i lack sufficient editing time lately, so if i were to action this with a comment to the users or similar i'd be very likely to miss the response for some time. Any chance you could have a look? Thanks in advance! Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs) 12:48, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Smallman12q, I have a couple of questions. First of all, is it standard for psychology pages on Wikipedia to abide by the medical referencing standards? I can't find any page that links medical referencing to psychology articles, and I notice that most other psychology articles do not abide by those guidelines. However, personality judgment has been tagged as needing to implement medical referencing, amongst other things. Also, I was wondering what the policy was for removing articles from DYK nomination and closing the nomination. Discussion on personality judgment has become stagnant, and I was wondering if it would be acceptable for me to just close the nomination? I don't want to do that if it is against guidelines. Thank you so much for your help! Whitmb11 ( talk) 21:21, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi Smallman - there is a particular user who has reviewed many of the DYKs for our articles. Most people have not addressed the concerns yet, but I assume everyone will be doing so within the following week. I tried to respond to the concerns by editing my article, and after doing so asked if they could let me know if there were any additional issues that should be addressed. The result was that my article is now being nominated for deletion. This user has also posted on our class page criticizing us for our DYK nominations and not responding to feedback fast enough. I understand the argument that our articles may not have really been ready for DYK; however, I am wondering if this user is justified in their criticisms of our articles, the timeliness of our responses, and the suggested deletion of my page after I tried to make the appropriate changes. It seems to me this person is being unusually harsh on us and is violating the etiquette rule of "don't bite the newbies". Since we are still learning about contributing to Wikipedia, I was just wondering if this person is correct in their criticisms and we are going about things wrong, and if this is normal for interactions between contributors (especially new contributors) and reviewers. Thanks for your help. Allexe11 ( talk) 18:50, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
The points brought up in the DYK review are still valid. The lead still does not summarize the article. Also there should be more discussion on the topic of dimensional models as a whole, and not just the individual models. While the article is at AFD, it is on hold at DYK.

Hey Smallman, I moved my page to the main space, but it's unsearchable and it has this error at the top, "This sandbox is in the article namespace. Either move this page into your userspace, or remove the User sandbox template." I went in and deleted the user:sandbox thing that was at the top but the error is still there. Any ideas? Moonpe11 ( talk) 11:34, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
Hey Smallman. I was just doing some copyediting and getting ready to move my page out of my sandbox when I noticed that a similar article had recently been posted: Facet_(psychology). What should I do? The content and structure are very similar. What's the protocol here? Can I put up a page that's similar? Should I try to merge my content with the existing content? Help. Armsbf11 ( talk) 21:54, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi Smallman, I moved my page on Relationship Contingent Self-Esteem to the main space and am working on a "first final draft." I was wondering if you could take a look at it Relationship Contingent Self-Esteem and let me know if there are changes I should make. Even a cursory look and comment would be helpful. Thank you!

The article Google Data Liberation Front has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Hi there. I'm sorry about the flood of deletion notices. I'm in a transfer to Commons binge right now, and I hit upon your uploads. When I saw a few of your uploads had everything filled in correctly at the information template (which is rare, sadly) I tend to just do that person's entire upload stream at once. Don't want to make it look like I'm picking on you, I'm actually quite thankful that you're making it easy for me.
In the future though, if you could upload free images to Commons, I'd be appreciated. There are 300,000 files needing transfer, adding more to the list just makes it a longer process to migrate things. Sven Manguard Wha? 02:37, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading
File:Word 2007 Page zoom.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a
claim of fair use. However, it is currently
orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed.
You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see
our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot ( talk) 05:07, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
You recently posted an video to the HDD article that was uploaded to the commons by William S. Hammack and I see from yr contributions you have added a number of other Hammack (aka engineeringuy) videos to various articles. Is there any relationship between you and Hammack? If so, the posting may be improper.
The Hammack HDD video is pretty good but I don't think it belongs in the lede and I'm not sure it should be in an article since about half way thru it I saw what appeared to be an advertisement. I don't have time to edit any ads out of the video, but I am going to move it into the article to a point where I think it is more appropriate. Tom94022 ( talk) 15:57, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
Hey, Smallman! If you have some time to review the quality of some articles, we're using the results for a really important research project that will help shape the future of the US/Canada Education Program. For a few projects, we're on a pretty tight timeline and are really eager to have many more of these articles reviewed over the next week. However, we think it's most useful to come from experienced Wikipedia editors.
I have gone through each class to prioritize for various projects, and everyone on the Education team at the Wikimedia Foundation would be extremely grateful if you could participate by reviewing a few articles ('pre' and 'post' versions). If we can rally a lot of editors to review one or two articles each day, we will be able to make the most use of this research for our tight timeline. As many of our Ambassadors have requested it, we are really eager to find out which classes have been successful according to the Wikipedian standard.
If you can spare some time, please check out these priority articles and give it a go. Even 1 or 2 a day would help immensely! JMathewson (WMF) ( talk) 02:12, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Justin Bieber on Twitter is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Justin Bieber on Twitter until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article.
Informing you of this nomination because of your previous participation in the Justin Bieber on Twitter merge into Justin Bieber discussion.-- LauraHale ( talk) 03:03, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi Smallman12q, thanks for the feedback. The trouble arises when students often work in groups or when other editors contribute to an article while students are working on it -- professors generally find going edit-by-edit through students' work time consuming, and there's no very easy way for them to do something like "show all edits to this page by XX username" without installing something like WikiTrust. Hope that clarifies a bit what I meant! -- LiAnna Davis (WMF) ( talk) 06:20, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:
It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.
At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).
Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.
If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at wikiocaasi@yahoo.com. Cheers! Ocaasi t | c 17:33, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Smallman!
Just trying to update the census for Online Ambassadors this coming term. If you're still planning to work with a class in the US and Canada Education Program this Fall, please add your name to this census. Once the new class list is available, I will notify you guys so you can sign up for a class (or two) that interests you.
