>> Hey everyone, >> >> Just wanted to share few updates regarding Wikipedia India Education >> Program. >> >> 1. We conducted over 11 sessions in different classes to address the issue >> of copyright violations to make sure that students understand the gravity of >> this issue. We visited each class and spoke with the students that they >> simply cannot copy-paste on wikipedia and have also been warned about the >> consequences of doing so. One of the important learning from this is that >> going forward we need to include the issue of copyvio in in-class editing >> sessions. In the next semester, we shall take all precautionary steps and >> make sure that the students have been taught in detail about copyvios so >> that we face less problems like this going forward. >> >> 2. We conducted an open wikipedia day at the SSE where we were available on >> campus the whole day and students could reach out to us for any fundamental >> or technical wiki editing problems that they would have - more like a help >> desk throughout the day. Unfortunately, it didn't work as well as we had >> expected it to as not too many students came by with their problems. We'll >> have to think of more innovate ways of conducting such open days - any >> ideas/suggestions are more than welcome. >> >> 3. We now have a bigger and stronger army of Campus Ambassadors & Online >> Ambassadors to support the students enrolled in the India Educational >> Program. 17 more Campus Ambassadors and 26 new Online Ambassadors are now >> onboard and will be helping students write better articles. I'll be sharing >> an update on this shortly. > > 4. The so famous Robinson Crusoe Economy Article: > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robinson_Crusoe_Economy written by one of the > students User:Abhilasha369: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Abhilasha369 is > now a 'Good Article' on Wikipedia.
