An article you recently created,

Hi! So glad to see your class editing Wikipedia (cc' @

Thank you for reminding me about the prospect of reversion. I will be sure to share this with the students.

I was SHOCKED to see how few actually even logged in before the due-date to do the trainings and assign an article.

Thanks again for your attention to helping my students succeed with this project and better Wikipedia. Bergmanucsd (talk) 18:23, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Just wanted to thank you for your recent addition of a new section to the NATO article. Well-sourced and informative, definitely an improvement. Thanks. CAVincent (talk) 04:40, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this! I must also give credit where it is due. The suggested edits came from Rasmih , but the page had editing restrictions, so I posted on that accounts behalf. Bergmanucsd (talk) 05:34, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well then thanks also to @Rasmih:! Great to have new editors contributing in such a helpful way! CAVincent (talk) 05:36, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Slovakia, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a

Speaking as one academic to another, this edit of yours: [1], was inappropriate. Please be careful not to do that again. Thanks. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:31, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bergmanucsd, I've undone your unilateral move of the user draft to mainspace while the discussion linked above is ongoing. The article is available for editing at Draft:Iraq and the World Bank. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 20:46, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I am available to brainstorm ways with WikiEdu staff of how to improve their training and overall programming, as I have been now for 6 years. Bergmanucsd (talk) 08:54, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just for clarity, are you saying you won't discuss this with us but only with WikiEdu staff? Valereee (talk) 16:52, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Posting the same uninformative copy-pasted comment repeatedly in various places is not the type of response expected on a collaborative project. Cullen328 (talk) 17:38, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Cullen328, I'm starting to think this editor doesn't realize the seriousness of the situation or what the outcome could be. Bergmanucsd, this could actually affect your ability to teach your syllabus. 100% serious here, no lie, WikiEdu staff cannot overrule the community. Valereee (talk) 20:33, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, Valereee. I am not yet prepared to support sanctions without allowing this editor to ponder the seriousness of the situation and to respond in an informative, collaborative fashion. Bergmanucsd, if you expect WikiEd to protect you in this situation, you are incorrect. WikiEd is a separate organization with no special power or authority on English Wikipedia. I simply do not understand why professors who lack the requisite skills in Wikipedia editing then set out teach courses based largely on Wikipedia editing. That remains a mystery. Cullen328 (talk) 20:43, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'd like to see thoughtful response, too. Valereee (talk) 20:46, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Valereee

Hi both. Our courses are not based largely on wikipedia editing. If that were the intent, then of course, I would be as skilled in this as you all. Here is the WikiEdu dashboard: https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/explore

Here are the trainings provided to both student and faculty: https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/training

You can see the various types of assignments that courses can integrate parts of wikipedia into their instruction.

I hope this clarifies things. Bergmanucsd (talk) 06:01, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, it doesn't clarify anything. Those are generic links. We want specific answers about your conduct, Bergmanucsd, not vague generalities. Cullen328 (talk) 17:27, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My conduct in future courses as it relates to the content that my students post?

I will reiterate the trainings provided by WikiEdu and the policies contained therein, reiterate the course grading requires them to conform to Wikipedia policies, and show them some flagged pages as examples for the type of contribution that does not conform to Wikipedia standards.
