Speedy deletion nomination of Cindy Gladue

A tag has been placed on Cindy Gladue requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Student articles

Hello, LiAnna,

I'm running into a number of students who are moving their assignments directly into main space of the project. Typically, these pages are deleted quite quickly. In the best case, they are returned to user space but that is not the standard procedure since there is no indication that these articles are done for school projects and might need to be reviewed by an instructor.

In the future, could you advise instructors to tell their students to, after the school term is over, use Articles for Creation so their work can be reviewed by experienced editors? Then they won't be so disappointed that their work is deleted from Wikipedia. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 23:14, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, Liz! It sounds like you already are talking with my colleague Ian (Wiki Ed) about the particular issue; this is definitely something we're trying to address! --LiAnna (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:34, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

minor change to File:Editing Wikipedia brochure (Wiki Education Foundation) (2017).pdf

Hey, this is really a minor request - at the end of the document, <references /> is recommended for displaying citation footnotes - but generally {{reflist}} is preferable. Would you mind changing this? Thanks. Elli (talk | contribs) 00:54, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi Elli, thanks for the note! I've noted it for the next time we update the document. --LiAnna (Wiki Ed) (talk) 22:58, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
Thanks! The guide is quite good in general, even for editors not in student programs. Elli (talk | contribs) 23:06, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Student editors

Hello, LiAnna,

Just a reminder that student editors should not be moving their project pages directly into main space. I patrol speedy deletion categories and I'm starting to see pages moved over that are not articles, they are not even very good drafts and in some cases, they are completely blank pages. This just takes up time of our New Page Patrollers and makes regular editors frustrated with student editors. Usually we get a lot of these page moves at the end of a school term but I see it starting now so, if you get a chance now, please reiterate to students that they do not need to have a "live" article in the main space of the project to get a grade in their courses.

If instructors are requesting this, they should not be a part of the Wikipedia Education program because these students don't learn enough about basic editing and sourcing in their short time on Wikipedia to create articles that will pass the review of our New Page Patrollers. Thank you for all you do for Wikipedia. Liz Read! Talk! 22:56, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

I'm not sure where it's coming from, either -- it's certainly against our recommendations. We'll see what we can do! --LiAnna (Wiki Ed) (talk) 23:19, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Campaigns Product Update #2

Hello Campaigns Product Newsletter subscribers! We are excited to share our updates:

  • Request for Feedback: We have shared our project principles, wireframes for the desktop version, and open questions for you about the team’s event registration project. See the latest status updates here.
Wireframes are design tools that imagine the future interface of the software. We haven’t built anything yet. We need your feedback on these designs so that we can make better product decisions. You can give feedback on the talk page regarding the design and features of the wireframes. We would love to hear your comments to help us establish the next necessary steps for the project.
Please share with us your feedback!
  • Presentations: The Campaign Product team participated in WikiArabia 2021 and WikiConference North America 2021 to give a brief introduction on how the team works. Senior Program Strategist Alex Stinson gave an overview about campaigns and how we can scale the organizing experience within the Movement. Senior Product Manager Ilana Fried gave an introduction about the Product Team and the project wireframes of the first campaign software solution: the on-wiki registration tool. View the recorded presentation here.
  • Team update: We have hired our first team engineer, JCarvalho and our campaign organizing fellow, IBrazal. Newsletter updates will be done by IBrazal and she will be coordinating with you! We hope to have the rest of the engineering team onboard soon! For those of who missed the last Campaign Office Hour, you may watch the recording to know more about the Campaign Product Team.

What is next?

Testers Needed! We will be partnering with YUX, a design research agency, to learn how our team can improve the experience of Wikimedia campaign organizers and participants in Africa. For this reason, we are looking for community members who are willing to be part of the rapid testing sessions. Preferably, we want organizers and editors who have worked in an African context. If you would like to participate in testing, please email ibrazal-ctr@wikimedia.org.
Upcoming Conferences. Wiki Indaba 2021. This year, the conference will be held virtually on November 5-7, 2021 with the theme "Rethink + Reset : Visions of the future". Read more about the conference here or register to join the event. We will be presenting the registration features on Sunday November 7.
We will also be attending Wikimedia CEE Online Meeting 2021, which will be held virtually again this year on November 5-7, 2021. We will be presenting the registration tool on November 6 as part of our communication and sharing process.
Translation Support. We are also beginning to translate the updates on Registration. If you think your language community would benefit from updates, please translate here.


Invite other organizers to subscribe to this newsletter for updates!

Does the education project need cooperating wikipedians?

Hi LiAnna, I'm User:BusterD! I've been editing Wikipedia as a volunteer for 16+ years and I occasionally run into students of your project. I'm trained as an educator. How does one go about helping your project? BusterD (talk) 23:49, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

@BusterD: thanks for reaching out! We encourage anyone who's interested to support student editors as you come across them, as you would any other good-faith newbie. We also encourage people to spread the word among college and university faculty you know in the United States and Canada who might be interested in participating: teach.wikiedu.org. --LiAnna (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:22, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
