A sincere thank you to you, Blue Rasberry (talk) for taking the time to let me know about this. I'm sorry for not replying sooner to your earlier comment on my talk page about the Millicent Fanny Preston Stanley page. This item was listed as an editathon subject (University of Sydney Wikibomb on 31 October) and the organisers didn't realise there was already an article about her (because the pre existing article didn't include her middle name so didn't appear in a search). So I worked on it and after moving it to the mainspace, found that an article already existed in a much more rudimentary form. I reported it and, after reading your first notice, I moved the information from my article that was new into the older article. It is therefore fine to delete the page I created. Is there anything else that I need to do? Thank you Frances Di Lauro 20:39, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Fair Use in Australia campaign update

I'm writing you this followup message, as you took the time to vote in support of a Wikipedia banner campaign for the introduction of Fair Use in Australia.

After much planning and coordination with the WMF, Australian Digital Alliance, and Electronic Frontiers Australia, as of Monday the banner-campaign is active on English Wikipedia to a portion of logged-out readers in Australia (technical details). The banners direct people to this page on Meta: FairCopyrightOz. That page, alongside lots of information, further directs people towards the campaign website faircopyright.org.au where Australians are invited to write to their local MP to express support of Fair Use. If you are interested in supporting this campaign, please, send a letter yourself using the template letter provided at that link.

Furthermore, and with the support of the ADA & EFA, we have received fantastic media coverage - with article "Fair Use: Wikipedia targets Australians in bid to change the law" appearing on page 2 of the Sydney Morning Herald and page 10 of the Melbourne Age on Monday's edition. It was for a time the 3rd most read article the Fairfax website, and Fair Use was "trending" on Twitter in Australia. We are running the account @FairCopyrightOz on twitter, and we are tracking other press-mentions on the talkpage on Meta.

Today, day 2, we published a detailed post about the campaign on the Wikimedia Blog, ran an "Ask Me Anything" Q&A session on the Australia page in Reddit, and [by happy coincidence of timing] the article History of fair use proposals in Australia appeared on the en.wp mainpage as a Did You Know. [The creation of that "history of..." article was a specific request arising from in the community consultation in which you voted].

And, most importantly, in a little more than a day nearly 800 letters to MPs have been sent encouraging them to support the Productivity Commission's recommendation to adopt Fair Use in Australia. I urge you - please add your own message.

Sincerely, Wittylama 16:28, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for message. You can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~~~~. Draft articles should be posted as such, in draft space, not in sandboxes. Problems with the article include

• it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that she meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, as defined in the link, or they will be deleted. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the subject, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what she claims or interviewing her. Most of the article was unreferenced, and of the three references, two were just quoting her, and the third was a university site without public access. Incidentally, references should not be bare urls.
• She may be notable, but we need independent third-party sources, not her talking about herself
• it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced or self-sourced claims presented as fact include: renowned... garnered a large amount of support nationally and even internationally... eager to participate.... has always been passionate about bringing about change to causes she feels need reform... her writing experience has provided her with the skills and confidence to speak to people on a national level– and so on, it's a hagiography not an encyclopaedia article, complete with numerous quotes from the article's subject, not exactly a reliable source.
• I notice that much of the text was added in chunks. I didn't check for copyright, but the editor should be aware that copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by her or her organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial, and text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient. As I say, there is no accusation here, but the editor is clearly not familiar with our policies, so just for guidance

The editor needs to make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, check that she can find independent third party sources and read Your first article.

Personally, I would suggest that that the editor starts again from scratch, but if you prefer, I could restore, clean up the worst of the opinions and promotion and move to a draft for referencing to proper sources.

Wikipedia:Peer review

Hi Fransplace,

Was the OLES2129 class instructed to add their new articles to Wikipedia:Peer review? Or did you make use of some resource that suggested this? I've already raised the issue in the Wikipedia:Education noticeboard, but Wikipedia:Peer review is typically low volume, and most often used for more mature articles that have multiple contributors. Have you considered having students assigned to review each other's articles as a first step?Dialectric (talk) 18:56, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

Minor Edits

Thanks for your comment at the Education Noticeboard about what's happening with the articles from your course. As a note, that comment should not have had the minor edit tag. That tag should only be used in limited circumstances like fixing a typo. You can see more about it at the link. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 06:07, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

OLES2129

Hello Fran. I notice several of your students striking requests at Wikipedia:Requested articles. Would you happen to know anything about this? I only ask because the appropriate action for students to take is to remove a request from RA once their article is complete. Striking only makes the process straining for the users that patrol this section of Wikipedia, who would see this as either a page already created or that a subject is not notable for the encyclopedia, which I do believe the subjects are notable if the students intend to work on them during the semester.

OLES2129 students and image uploads/image use

Hi Fransplace. It appears that some of your students or at least students belong to OLES2129 at the University of Sydney are working on various drafts as part of a class project. I've come across their various drafts because they've been flagged for violations of Wikipedia's non-free content use policy. The students in question are VerumRex, Austinameo and Cecelia Chen Puying. These student have been trying to add non-free files to their drafts or user sandboxes which is not allowed per the aforementioned policy. The files have been removed on multiple occasions by different editors, but the students continued to re-add them.

Anyway, I asked a Wiki Ed advisor named Shalor (Wiki Ed) for help with this at User talk:Shalor (Wiki Ed) and she left some user talk page messages for the students. I've also left some user talk page messages for the students as well. I'm not sure how often the students check their user talk pages, but perhaps you could mention something about this to them during your class. You might also want to mention something about Wikipedia:Image use policy and c:Commons:Licensing as well because image use and licensing can be quite tricky and mistakes are often made.

FWIW, mistakes are OK as long as they're not being repeated over and over again, especially after warnings were given. Repeated violations or relevant policies and guidelines related to images in particular is one of the things which tends to dealt with rather harshly and often leads to an administrator quickly blocking an account to stop any further disruption. So, if your students have any questions about image use, they can always ask for help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions or even the Wikipedia Teahouse. Wiki Ed even has a training module specifically developed to help students with all things image related. Since 99of9 is also listed as one of the contacts for OLES2129, I've pinged him in this post. However, if you could also let him know just in case, then maybe he could let his students know about the training module as well. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:28, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi Marchjuly. I'm not involved in this unit very directly, so there's no "his students", but I'm happy to be kept in the loop. --99of9 (talk) 11:46, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

My apologies if I mixed up who's teaching the course. You're both listed as contacts, so I mistook that for meaning you're both teaching the course. If, by chance, you do know any of three students mentioned above, perhaps you can tell them to be be careful about the images they're trying to use. Basically, anything existing on Wikipedia Commons is probably OK, but any uploaded locally to Wikipedia as non-free content needs to be used more carefully. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:57, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

University of Sydney Course

I like that you are giving courses on Wikipedia. But could you please request your students to check what they link? And only link when it adds something to the article?

Yesterday I worked on Cider Syrup, what was severely overlinked en included 74 links to disambiguation pages. Today I came across Eastern Ethics in Business, overlinked and with 40 links to disambiguation pages, and Rural Industry in India, overlinked and with 11 links to disambiguation pages.

I am worried by now. The Banner talk 22:28, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

OLES2129: Thank you!

Hi. Over the past few weeks, I've been reviewing a lot of the articles written by your OLES2129 students. Thank you for teaching this course! The collection of drafts I've been reviewing have been interesting, well-written, and on important topics which are enhancing the encyclopedia in many ways.

Wikipedia is a victim of its own success, attracting anybody and everybody who wants to use it for self-promotion, SEO, and advertising. It's is truly refreshing to see that there are still folks in the world who want to write the kinds of articles your students are writing. Thank you again, and please let your students know how much this is appreciated. -- RoySmith (talk) 12:23, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Not to throw cold water on the course, but there has been a problem with one of your students, YuxinJiang, creating and recreating a promotional article in draft and userspace, as well as not replying to other editors' comments. See this discussion at ANI. Perhaps you could have a word with the student? Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:00, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

References

Just follow the steps 1, 2 and 3 as shown and fill in the details

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them). WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN.

1. While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "cite" click on it
2. Then click on "templates",
3. Choose the most appropriate template and fill in the details beside a magnifying glass followed by clicking said button,
4. If the article is available in Pubmed Central, you have to add the pmc parameter manually -- click on "show additional fields" in the template and you will see the "pmc" field. Please add just the number and don't include "PMC".

We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 02:57, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

Poor quality article by OLES2129 student

Fransplace, I came across the article Predicate crime because I saw a reference to predicate crimes in the press, and didn't know what they were. It was an awful awful article in almost every way a Wikipedia article can be awful. It was incoherent, unclear, and poorly written. The writer clearly didn't understand the topic and grossly misrepresented the sources. Large amounts of irrelevant material are included. In the end, I had to delete almost all of it because it was irretrievably bad. I then looked to see who had added this low-quality material, and found that it was a certain User:Pattywinter, who had apparently written it for a course called OLES2129.

Now, I really really want to support new users on Wikipedia, and I'm very enthusiastic about encouraging university students to learn how to contribute to Wikipedia. But there has got to be some sort of quality control. Clearly no one at the University of Sydney reviewed the Predicate Crime article. Take a look at Pattywinter's final version. Forgetting the fact that it is disorganized, rambling, and generally wrong, it includes incoherent sentences like "It is an illegal action that opposed the public order and against the Law", "there was the Vienna Convention where the attention to money laundering is a phenomenon", and "Fines can be separated to the jail sentence" (from the original "Fines can be separate from, or in addition to, jail or prison sentences") and in ll cases the garbled paraphrase is in any case utterly irrelevant to the topic of the article). Footnotes are incorrect or incomplete.

This sort of material is not only a waste of Wikipedia editors' time, but a serious disservice to our readers. I implore you to exert more editorial control over your students' contributions! Thanks, --Macrakis (talk) 19:14, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

OLES2129

Fransplace, I come to you as one of the instructors of OLES 2129: Writing for the Digital World. I was first alerted to a problem when I came across the editing of Cookieminicatt at Spider roll. This student's writing on this page is unacceptable, and I have tried to warn them of this but they are pretty insistent on their very poorly written and formatted version of the page. From their user page, I find that they are being tutored by lboikov as part of this class which you are apparently running. I further find that there is an entire discussion of this class's prior activities at the Wikipedia Education Noticeboard. I hope that you will better monitor the activities of your students. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:05, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

PS: Might I recommend that you clean up your user talk page? Someone sent you a message at some point that completely hosed the formatting! WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:05, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Thank you, (@WikiDan61:). I'm very sorry to hear about this. I coordinate this course and have written to the student's teacher, who monitors the work of his student. You've written to him too. There are 15 teachers on the course and we do our best. Our students don't usually engage in edit wars and I apologise on behalf of us all. I note the earlier archived discussion took place during 6 months of inactivity. Our our course in that instance had finished 5 months earlier and I was recovering from major surgery. We appreciate your help and the considerate way in which you communicate with our students. We do impress on them the importance of treating all editors with respect and will reinforce those messages. Fransplace 13:18, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
