Marking articles students are working on

Howdy, Online Ambassador!

This is a quick message to all the ambassadors about marking and tracking which articles students are working on. For the classes working with the ambassador program, please look over any articles being worked on by students (in particular, any ones you are mentoring, but others who don't have mentors as well) and do these things:

  1. Add {{WAP assignment | term = Spring 2011 }} to the articles' talk pages. (The other parameters of the {{WAP assignment}} template are helpful, so please add them as well, but the term = Spring 2011 one is most important.)
  2. If the article is related to United States public policy, make sure the article the WikiProject banner is on the talk page: {{WikiProject United States Public Policy}}
  3. Add Category:Article Feedback Pilot (a hidden category) to the article itself. The second phase of the Article Feedback Tool project has started, and this time we're trying to include all of the articles students are working on. Please test out the Article Feedback Tool, as well. The new version just deployed, so any bug reports or feedback will be appreciated by the tech team working on it.

And of course, don't forget to check in on the students, give them constructive feedback, praise them for positive contributions, award them {{The WikiPen}} if they are doing excellent work, and so on. And if you haven't done so, make sure any students you are mentoring are listed on your mentor profile.

Thank you for your comments of User:Hypateia/Richard Setlowe

Thank you Chevymontecarlo, Will be building out the stub, editing and adding references this week and next. Your helpful input is appreciated. Hypateia (talk) 20:56, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Best of luck! Glad I was of help. Don't forget to come back and contact me here if you have any more questions, as I'll be fine answering them. Chevymontecarlo 17:13, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Van Howard

Dear Chevymontecarlo,

Would you please review the References section and Categories section of Van Howard and if possible, remove the statement about needing more references. Nmantooth (talk) 04:13, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think the categories section is fine now, but as to the references I still think it is lacking. Don't forget to use inline citations to display them 'properly', or at least more easily, in the article. I still think you perhaps need to find and add more sources so I will leave the 'statement', or tag at the top of the article as I still think it is an issue.

Professor Obar Concerns

Got a message about an hour ago from Professor Obar of the Media and Telecommunication Policy project and I think it is viewed best in full:

Can you please communicate to the online mentors that I DO NOT want them moving student material into the main space for them. This is a big problem. I have noticed that this has happened with a number of the projects already, for example, in the broadband.gov article and the media cross-ownership article. We need the students to be doing this on their own, of course so they can learn how to do it, and also so that I can grade what they've done. How am I supposed to follow student submissions if the data is associated with online mentors? A BIG PROBLEM ALREADY... please help me with this. None of you responded to my post about this on the discussion page. This is about to get out of hand. Jaobar (talk) 05:27, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

With that, of course, please only give instructions on how to move, don't do it for them. Please only let them know what to do and let them do it themselves. If they run into problems, provide further instructions. Do not it for them. This seems to be making a mess of Prof. Obar's grading system and I would like to avoid that. Thanks. - Neutralhomer • Talk • Coor. Online Amb'dor • 06:10, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Remove Reference Statement for Van Howard

Chevymontecarlo,

I haven't found very many printed articles that I thought were acceptable so I added the ones that could be verified. I talked to Van Howard today and he's given me a source in Nashville who knows him and wrote the liner notes in Van's CD. I can contact him to see if he has any other references that might be usable. I made the changes using what I think is proper citation protocol.
