Request at Montessori Method

edit

First, Welcome to Wikipedia. When you want to find an interested party at an article, just be bold, create an edit, and an interested party should show up if the situation warrants it. You don't need to ask permission. The editor you asked for does not have any priority standing. There are dozens of editors listed in the History page, We are all interested parties and many will have the article listed on their Watchlist. If the edit doesnt muster up someone will let you know. Eventually, you will make thousands of edits and no one will comment. If you choose to you can go to the talk page and begin a discussion regarding your intended edit. Any one interested will respond. good luck! Buster Seven Talk 06:21, 19 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Most editors signature will include a direct link to their talk page.Buster Seven Talk 07:17, 19 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Montessori

You seem to have found your way around the place very well. (Must be that "indepedent, self-reliant" Montessori Way). Congrats on the boldness of the changes you have made. I have not yet fully gone over the changes but as far as the "How-to-do" request on my TalkPage you seem to have figured it out. Buster Seven Talk 14:11, 28 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for File:Maria Montessori1913.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading File:Maria Montessori1913.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 06:05, 17 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi. When you recently edited Maria Montessori, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Pestalozzi and Seguin (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Maria Montessori

Hi Dave, great work at Maria Montessori! I have a question about your expansion at the talk page. Comments about the content of articles are normally discussed at article's talk pages, not user talk pages. To be notified of changes to the article and the talk page when they happen, add the Maria Montessori article to your watchlist and check it every so often.

Graham87: Thanks! I'll pick it up at the talk page. Dave Ayer (talk) 19:15, 21 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

I've replied there. Graham87 02:05, 22 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Re: < span > in article titles

edit

Hi Dave, Wikipedia has just had its software upgraded to MediaWiki 1.19, so you might see some strange things happening. Try to bypass your cache and see if that fixes the problem; if not, ask at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical). Graham87 14:54, 1 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

BTW, to turn off the interpretation of markup, use the "nowiki" tag. For example, the text "bold text" surrounded by nowiki tags will be outputted as "'''bold text'''". Graham87 14:57, 1 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
StumbleUpon toolbar, per suggestion at Village Pump. Thanks! (BTW, your nowiki explanation confused me at first, since it rendered out without the nowiki--making it appear that interpretation could be turned off using just quotes. Now that I'm editing, I can see what you meant.) Dave Ayer (talk) 15:05, 1 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
Oops, sorry about the nowiki tag mixup. Glad that you found out how to fix the problem! I prefer to reply on the talk page of the user who sent me the message, but others prefer to have the conversation in one place; it's a matter of personal preference. Graham87 15:13, 1 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Sudden surge of edits to the Maria Montessori article

edit

Hi Dave, Google is featuring Maria Montessori on its homepage today, as it's the 142nd anniversary of her birth, and as a result the Wikipedia article about her has received a phenomenal number of edits, some good, some not so good. It's been semi-protected to stem the tide of vandalism, and I've spent quite a bit of time today reviewing all the recent edits (there have been 113 of them, including my own, in the past 24 hours)! When you get a chance, could you go through the article to check that it's all still OK? You might also want to put it on your watchlist to keep track of changes to it easily. Graham87 14:05, 31 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, Graham. I'll have a look right now. Dave Ayer (talk) 15:55, 31 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Controversy in Montessori Education.

edit

Hiya Dave, I think it was you who asked if there was any evidence of controversy, well an article in 2005 in the Journal of Childhood Education, compared Montessori education with several other models of education. However, it fund no evidence to support it was linked to higher educational achievement.

Montessori and Waldorf education

edit

Hi Dave, I see some similarity between the two methods as described here. Could you help me to understand it? Was Steiner copying Montessori or their common ideas were developed by earlier pedagogists? Thanks. Pinea (talk) 22:33, 22 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
