Question edit
Are the edits being made by User:GoldVine5 with regard to House of Marley and to young adult novels being made in accordance with your course, or unrelated? Robert McClenon (talk) 12:37, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
- Yes, they are. She is a student on the 5PU506 Publishing course at the University of Derby, an editing course supported by Wikimedia UK. This work forms part of her final assignment, a portfolio of edits. Cbderbylib (talk) 13:10, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
- User:Cbderbylib - Have your students including User:GoldVine5 been properly instructed as to the Wikipedia neutral point of view policy? Some of GoldVine's writings read like advertisements. It is very important, if you are instructing your students how to write for Wikipedia, to instruct them that the neutral point of view policy is one of the Five Pillars of Wikipedia. Writing that is completely non-neutral may be speedily deleted as advertising, and may cause the author to be questioned about conflict of interest. Undisclosed paid editing is a very serious problem in Wikipedia, and is dealt with in a draconian fashion, and it would be a good idea for students to be advised not to be mistaken for undisclosed paid editors. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:36, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
- Robert McClenon - They have indeed been instructed in Wikipedia's Five Pillars, the guidelines on style, tone, neutrality, bias, article guidelines re notability, verifiability, quality of sources etc - it has been a twelve-week programme. But they are still students and beginner editors, and there is a learning curve, as with anything new. I am sure GoldVine5 will be taking all the feedback on board regarding her work.

Derby Uni event? edit
Hi Caroline, I've not heard anything from you since you contacted me a few months ago about a University Wikipedia event sometime in September/October this year. I'm still available if you need me, but I do need to arrange a few other upcoming weekend commitments. Please ensure any email you might send is followed up via an on-wiki message if you don't get a reply (as my webmail supplier has kindly deleted the last two years of all my emails, and hasn't yet managed to restore them!) Regards, Nick Moyes (talk) 21:45, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
- User:Nick Moyes - apologies! This summer has been pretty insane at work, and time has quite got away from me. I was actually intending to email everyone I'd approached this week! I don't think we can arrange anything this year now, since term will be starting soon and I'll barely have time to breathe! But can I ask you again in the new year? Cbderbylib (talk) 07:38, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
- Don't worry - I fully understand. Yes, feel free to contact me next year. By then my own life might be less hectic, too. As always, if you don't get a reply to an email, drop me a note on my talk page.

| Great work on Preet Chandi, I went to start the article for Women in Red and was thrilled to see that several editors had started on it. I have done some more advanced editing. My partner used to work for Derby Libraries - (oh I have just worked out that I know you!) Thank you. Victuallers (talk) 18:43, 5 January 2022 (UTC) |
Thanks again edit
DYK for Preet Chandi edit
On 24 January 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Preet Chandi, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Preet Chandi, the first known woman of colour to walk solo to the South Pole, contacted friends to be bridesmaids during her expedition? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Preet Chandi. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Preet Chandi), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
