Wikipedia Ambassador Program Newsletter: 13 February 2011
please add your profile to the Online Ambassadors mentors page
Hi Dave!
Please add your profile to the bottom "additional online ambassadors" section of Wikipedia:Online Ambassadors/Mentors. If you'd like to be a mentor, then add it the top section, "available mentors," instead; we can just find someone else to look after your mentees when you're away.
If you have any questions about the ambassador role or what you're interested in doing as an Online Ambassador (whether mentoring, pitching in in other ways, or something else), please let me know.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 17:41, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Seems to me you've made a mistake in the article. The term "notochaetae" usually refers to "bristles" not "tentacles". As far as I understood these worms have ten tentacle-like anterior appendages made of soft tissue (a pair of palps and four pairs of branchiae). The notochaetae (dorsal bristles) are chitinous structures in the dorsal part of parapodia. You may find some details in the video and the image. Possessing long anterior tentacles is rather common feature in polychaetes especially in cirratulids. However they are not so long in motile benthic forms. The morphology of notochaetes of Teuthidodrilus are posed as unusual in the abstract of Osborn's et al. paper. Unfortunately I've no access to the full text paper (probably you have it) so I can't get to know what the «concavo-convex paddles» are and whether such paddle is a single bristle or a group of bristles.

Wikipedia Ambassador Program Newsletter: 21 March 2011
This is the third issue of the Wikipedia Ambassador Program Newsletter, with details about what's going on right now and where help is needed.
Where the courses are - A brief summary of how each of the 31 Public Policy Initiative courses are faring so far in the Spring 2011 term, as of 9-11 March. Feel free to add more detail.

Online Ambassadors logistics - If you don't have a Wikipedia Ambassador sweatshirt, now's your chance to get one! (Also, some other more mundane, but important, details.)
Steering committee preparing proposals - Look for discussions about two major proposals about the future ambassador program soon: the "Regional Ambassador" role, and elections for a new committee.
India pilot being organized now - Plans are currently underway for a pilot expansion of the Wikipedia Ambassador Program – in India! Hisham Mundol and other Wikimedia staff have begun recruiting Campus Ambassador candidates for Pune.

I mostly keep an eye on it to avoid recurrences of edits like this one that went unchallenged for several months! I'm not terribly experienced with getting something up to GA status, but I'm certainly willing to go over it for grammar and spelling, and try to resolve any of the various tags requesting verification or more information.

Even though it's been quiet on-wiki, the Wikipedia Ambassador Program has been busy over the last few months getting ready for the next term. We're heading toward over 80 classes in the US, across all disciplines. You'll see courses start popping up
here
, and this time we want to match one or more Online Ambassadors to each class based on interest or expertise in the subject matter. If you see a class that you're interested, please contact the professor and/or me; the sooner the Ambassadors and professors get in communication, the better things go. Look for more in the coming weeks about next term.
In the meantime, with a little help I've identified all the articles students did significant work on in the last term. Many of the articles have never been assessed, or have ratings that are out of date from before the students improved them. Please help assess them! Pick a class, or just a few articles, and give them a rating (and add a relevant WikiProject banner if there isn't one), and then update the list of articles.
Once we have updated assessments for all these articles, we can get a better idea of how quality varied from course to course, and which approaches to running Wikipedia assignments and managing courses are most effective.

Hello Greenteamochees. You have done an outstanding job at providing inline citations; thank you very much!
It appears you are new to editing Wikipedia, making your first edit just two days ago. First of all, welcome to the world of Wikipedia! There are many editors here who are more than happy to help you learn your way around. It seems as if you have jumped right in and created a new article, which is very brave and is to be commended. You will soon find that you will be treated as equal to any other editor in this community---at least that is how it is supposed to work. While this is a good thing, it also means that regular editors may assume you know all the rules and etiquette involved in editing (which nobody really does, by the way). Sometimes your edits will be altered or even reverted, often with no explanation at all. This may hurt your feelings. I know this because it was not long ago I was in your shoes. My advice to you would be that if one of your edits is altered or criticized in some way, you should examine this event closely, and consider it to be an opportunity to learn some of the nuances of editing Wikipedia. Most of the time, there will be a valid reason for the intervention. In some cases, the modification may be made in good faith, but may nevertheless be inaccurate. Rarer still, it may be simple vandalism.

As an aside, it seems that you and I are both big fans of the California desert and mountains, etc. I will be heading back to the Mojave Desert in October.

I already reverted Encyclomaniac.de ... I was just confused. I thought the coordinates were for the trees, but they are for the groves. But, GNIS has coordinates for Generals Grant and Sherman, which I put into the respective rows.
To prevent confusion, I will move the GNIS refs to the coordinates column, rather than the Grove column. The references are for the coordinates, not for the fact that the tree is in the grove.
Thanks for clarifying!
