**My understanding is that you can upload the logo of an organization on Wikipedia (not Wikimedia Commons) under a "fair use" rationale if it is used for identification purposes only in the context of in-depth discussion of that organization. It can't be used on user pages, but only in main space.

****The student was given instructions by her professor, then chose to triangulate in search of a better answer. Situational ethics. One choice would be to undermine the professor, while the other would be to support the course curriculum. I chose the latter. Outside of the curriculum, my response would have been different. It is vital in these courses to work with and support the professor and curriculum established. We should never undermine the professor.

Ball State Student Queries
Hi My name is Shawna our group is working on the Sith page. Our intended approach is to split it into two major sections. One will be the history/Philosophy of the Sith in the star wars universe. The other will be the history of the idea of the sith and information about it from a real world perspective. Is this valid? We are going to work to achieve encyclopedia standards in both approaches but we aren't sure since we are dealing with fictional but really really widely written/imagined people. THank you!!! —Preceding undated comment added 22:49, 8 November 2011 (UTC).

Mentorship and where to work
So there is an article list for my class now. There are 62 articles that my students will be working on in groups of 1-5. Now I'm still grading their last assignment to add a sourced sentence to an article and review the sentences of two other students, but my spot-checking shows that they have trampled a lot of articles. I'm going to try to fix the problems as I go. So that's why it is my plan to have students work in Sandbox on their improvements and later move anything appropriate into the main space. Does that sound like a good plan? There are a handful of red links in the table, isn't there a WP process for new article creation, perhaps those students could go through that? I also thought if you and the other OAs (and/or Elonka) wanted (or thought it desirable) to take a more pro-active mentor ship role it might make sense to add another column to the table and you can divide out articles to monitor, or at least check-in on occasionally. I don't know how often students have come to you for help, but they aren't really good at help-seeking behavior. --MTHarden (talk) 04:31, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

GOCE drive newsletter
Invitation from the Guild of Copy Editors
The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their November 2011 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on November 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on November 30 at 23:59 (UTC). We will be tracking the number of 2010 articles (and specifically will be targeting the oldest three months), as we want to copy edit as many of these as possible. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 5 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Diannaa, Chaosdruid, The Utahraptor, Slon02, and SMasters. |

FYI - party link localization, Iowa
Since you've been working with the political party class project, I thought I'd copy you on a message I put on its instructor's talk page:
I'm localizing the party links in some Iowa articles so that links referring solely to the Iowa Democratic Party or to the Republican Party of Iowa actually point there instead of inappropriately pointing to Democratic Party (United States) or Republican Party (United States) as they tend to do now. While this will direct more traffic to the state-level articles, you shouldn't notice anything; I just thought you might want to know. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 09:20, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

My name is Dennis Adley. I am in the afore mentioned class at Southern Connecticut State University. I have, to date, not felt that I required any assistance in editing my stub article on Campaign for America's Future. The editing and additions that I have made are now up on the mainspace. Since I have not pursued any assistance in the process thus far, I am without feedback on my progress, as well as not knowing exactly what if anything the article is lacking. I would appreciate your taking a look at the Campaign for America's Future page and let me know how I'm doing. Thank you, Adleyd1 (talk) 22:13, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
Hi Cindamuse! I am in Zach's Comm 375 class and my wiki article is on Alcohol advertising on college campuses and I made a rough draft so I was wondering if maybe when you have a chance, read through it and maybe give me some feedback? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I have never really even explored Wikipedia before this class since most professors warn us to stay away so any suggestions or ideas would be awesome! Thanks so much for your time! My rough draft article is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_Advertising_on_College_Campuses.

Class outside the USEP
I've run into a slightly unusual situation and thought I'd check with you as to the next best step, as you're on the steering committee. Take a look at the notes I've left here and here; I think it would be good for someone in the education program to reach out to Professor Tompkins to see what we can do to help. Let me know anything else you think I could do to help out. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 19:31, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
- Kinda confusing. I'm guessing that Mitch (St Charles) has a group of students working on Exercise addiction. And at the same time, User:Tatompki (not participating in the USEP) is also working on the same article? I'm here, I just need to review it a bit more. Best regards, Cind.amuse (Cindy) 19:46, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, that's exactly the situation -- sorry I wasn't clearer. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 19:49, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
- It looks like a group from User:Tatompki's class just chose this subject today. How did you discover this? Best regards, Cind.amuse (Cindy) 19:54, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
- I had the article on my watchlist because I'm an OA for the Missouri class, and I noticed SandyGeorgia's comments on the talk page. Mitch Harden just responded that it's a good problem to have, so he's OK with it; I think so long as Professor Tompkins is also OK with it the only remaining issue would be helping her class via the ambassador program. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 20:09, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
- Tompkins students are requesting that the St Charles group select a different article. Due to the fact that the St Charles group created the Exercise addiction article, I've made a recommendation that the Linfield College students select a separate article. Best regards, Cind.amuse (Cindy) 20:16, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi Cindy - I am the Campus Ambassador for ISU's Political Parties course. I am facilitating a workshop on Tuesday on images, copyright, and possibly infoboxes.

Take a look at what I had to do with the edit that User:Masuhi had done. I feel kinda bad, because it was clearly in good faith; but can you imagine the clutter of 160+ years of cut-and-paste party platforms? (And in Wisconsin I could probably do it, what with the Wisconsin Blue Book being online and all.) Can you make it clearer to her/him that this is not how you improve the article? I'd love to see some summary of the history of the DP of Mississippi and the Freedom Democratic Party; the challenges to the DP of Miss. delegations to various Democratic National Conventions; etc. --Orange Mike | Talk 21:39, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello, would you mind helping me fix up my Wikipedia article? The link to it is Deaf history Galatians (talk) 15:54, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
- Good morning! I have a couple of questions. Do you have any specific questions about your article? Since you are editing the article as coursework, I can't ethically "fix up" your article, but I am happy to answer any questions you may have. I also recommend contacting your Online Ambassador. The OA that is assigned to your course is honestly more than willing to work with you on your article and answer any questions you may have. She is also a bit more familiar with your course. She can be reached at User talk:Nikkimaria. That said, since we're all volunteers, we don't keep office hours. I'm here and just hanging out, so feel free to shoot your questions at me. ;) Best regards, Cind.amuse (Cindy) 16:26, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. I understand that external links count as sources; I generally base it off the references list by itself, though. If the page has no references:
- There is no way of knowing what piece of text, if any, each external link is refering to.
- It is possible that the external links may not be supporting the text, either.
Just figured I'd let you know. Again, thanks. LikeLakers2 (talk | Sign my guestbook!) 16:51, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
