The Spy Machine?

edit

I see that you are learning how to edit Wikipedia. However it is slightly unclear which username is the right one to reach you on (maybe User talk:Bbp2002 ? or User talk:Shay0608 ?)

Recently, under two different new user names, you made edits to an article relating to a documentary about the Mossad: The Spy Machine

So far as I can see the purpose of your edits is to severely edit the quotations I added to the article. It may well be that there was overuse of quotation before but imho the result of the recent edits is problematic. There is now not only a barely comprehensible article but the edits also show a clear bias against the meaning of the original sources (airbrushing?)

I am familiar with the documentary and would like to ensure that the article portrays its content accurately. If I was an editor simply interested in editing this article it would not be a problem to revert and build a better consensus. But, as explained on my user page, I have a COI so do not want to overstep the line.

Hence reaching out in case you might like to try and find a good way forward. The film is unusual and important, made in collaboration with a significant Israeli production company. It deserves to be more accurately represented. Happy to go to WP:RFC or WP:3O if that might help.

WP:DYK

edit

Hi there: One of your students (Qwj5377) is trying to nominate an expanded article for WP:DYK, which is great. However, they're having some trouble with the process. Perhaps you can assist? The nomination is here. As you can see, no hook has been proposed and no hook sources provided, so we really can't do anything until that information is entered!

Good work, a suggestion

edit

Hello Co4e, hope you and yours are well (I'm in Melb., support lockdowns, but it will be nice to see an end to rona times). Your students are doing well, those that have engaged with Wikiproject Plants at least. However, while they are accessing the appropriate botanical websites, they are not engaging much with peer-reviewed literature. I realise they are not botany or even science students (neither was I at tertiary level, though I taught in Arts, Science and Medicine), but to engage with the plants they have learnt some of both disciplines and I think engaging with academic journals cross-disciplinary would be a good thing. On reflection, my gut feeling is that these are first year students, but still... I think this project of writing/editing articles for WP is a good teaching technique for writing, editing and for cross-disciplinary learning. Thank you. Brunswicknic (talk) 12:30, 27 May 2021 (UTC) p.s. don't know why this has ended up in your Beyonce award, some bits of WP are strange, and I am still learning (every day, life long, at least most of it is fun)Reply

the edits made by a student in your class to this article were bios ofall the members of the Commission, and so inappropriate that, as reviewing administrator, I considered it necessary to remove them. I haven't looked at other articles yet, but you have the responsibility of reviewing not every edit necessarily, but the final work of everyone in your class. I know it's difficult. I was one of the first people at WP to do this many years ago, and I have not had the patience to do so since, though I often look at the final work of editing projects coordinated by the NYChapter, of which Iam a member.)
