Revision as of 11:29, 6 September 2012
Are you going to nominate for DYK?♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:43, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
DYK for The Mermaid Inn
The DYK project (nominate) 08:02, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
DYK for Tsukabaru Dam
PanydThe muffin is not subtle 00:12, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
I nominated your Wildlife of South Sudan for DYK. From what I can see it is no longer compulsory to review another article. I've asked Tony. If this is the case then nominating now is actually easier. Not happy with the current environment though, it can only get better now...♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:36, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
Nice one. You might be interested in My philosophy.♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:55, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
Hangon, I'm confused. What has Anguilla!! got to do with Antarctica?♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:51, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
DYK for Piva Monastery

Sudan
You might be interested in Radom National Park and Lake Kundi. --Rosiestep (talk) 23:06, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
Really don't understand. Can you point me to where the nomination actually is?♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:42, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
User:Nvvchar/sandbox/Miscel. its a bit weird to write about such diverse habitats. I mean it makes no sense to talk about the Wildlife of Anguilla in the same article as the Wildlife of Antarctica for instance. We'd be better off doing a Wildlife of Antarctica (including the southern islands) and a Wildlife of the Caribbean.♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:52, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
You may be interested in expanding Llangaffo. Perhaps the public domain text would be better rewritten in part I don't know.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:41, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
I strongly suggest we split this overseas UK territories into Wildlife of the Caribbean, Wildlife of Antarctica and the southern islands and a Wildlife of the Indian Ocean perhaps.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:44, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
Malltraeth Marsh may interest you. --Rosiestep (talk) 06:16, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
Online Ambassadors: Time to join pods
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:
- Working closely with the instructor and Campus Ambassadors, providing advice and perspective as an experienced Wikipedian
- Helping students who ask for it (or helping them to find the help they need)
- Watching out for the class as a whole
- Helping students to get community feedback on their work
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.

PS: There are still a lot of student articles from the last term that haven't been rated. Please rate a few and update the list!

Courtesy call
Namaskara Nvvchar, I was browsing through the other ambassadors on the Online Ambassadors page, and was mildly surprised to see someone from Bangalore. Frankly, I am surprised I haven't run into you earlier, considering we're both from Karnataka :) . Anyway, hope to run into you again sometime. Have a good day! Lynch7 05:51, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Update on courses and ambassador needs
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.
Courses looking for Online Ambassadors
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!
Active courses that really need Online Ambassadors:
- Sociology of Poverty

- Intro to Mass Communication
- Psychology Seminar
- Theories of the State
- Advanced Media Studies
Courses that may be active soon that need Online Ambassadors:

Good morning, Char. It's finally happened... I've finally caught up with you with my 505th DYK, Val-Saint-Lambert Abbey. I dedicate it to you. --Rosiestep (talk) 14:06, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
Rosie, my heartiest congratulations for your 505th DYK. My deepest appreciation and thanks for dedicating it to me. I am now in San Diego since the 30th August and will be here till 7th November. I will start editing on new DYKs shortly. Warm Regards.--Nvvchar. 14:32, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
Great to hear from you. You might be interested in collaborating with us on some articles on Alcatraz including Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, Alcatraz Cellhouse and Alcatraz Citadel.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:03, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
I can't wait to collaborate with you again! --Rosiestep (talk) 01:27, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
Thanks, Rosie and Dr. Blofeld. I have started adding to the articles on Alcatraz suggested by DR. B. I will be posting more articles shortly. The delay is due to my laptop crashing after coming here.--Nvvchar. 01:37, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
Welcome! Yes if you could google/google book search Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary/prison history the history needs work. There's a wealth of info on http://www.alcatrazhistory.com/rock/rock-027.htm, just keep clicking "Next" at the bottom. List of Alcatraz escape attempts most notable ones can be added to the history I think. The lower sections will be condensed later.♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:55, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
