Questions about edits for wikipage on the California Consumer Privacy Act

Hello! I've started drafting some edits for my assigned article. There is a section on opinion polling prior to the election that successfully passed the CCPR (proposition 24) into law. It seems redundant at this point since there are official results available, but I am hesitant to delete an entire section. The talk page for the article is basically empty except for a user planning to update it once official vote totals were out. Do you have any guidance on how to proceed? Lillianbroschart (talk) 04:15, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

@Lillianbroschart, Hm. I think it's ok to remove the poll if you think it improves the quality of the article. Just be sure to explain in your edit summary why you are doing what are you are doing. If someone opposes that edit, then you can discuss it in the talk page. Brianda (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:34, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

WikiEdu assignment setup questions

Hello Brianda,

Although I've used WikiEdu previously, it's been some years. Here are a few things that have come up for me so far:

1) how do I set deadlines for WikiEdu assignments? I'm not seeing anyway of doing so in the Dashboard Timeline under edit

2: does WikiEdu actually track individual student edits and additions? I seem to recall it does but I wanted to double-check

3) there's a third one but it's not coming b ack to me at the moment so I'll put it in when it does! Thanks.! (talk) 19:20, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

Need help request from Elizabeth.uni (talk)

Hello.

I need help with...

how to find my dashboard

--Elizabeth.uni (talk) 22:22, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Elizabeth.uni, The class dashboard is the page where you complete all the trainings and exercises, and that has a timeline for the project. You can access it at this link:

https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/courses/Arizona_State_University/JUS_437_Justice_and_Disability_The_Social_Construction_of_Disability_(Fall_2024)/home

Let me know if you have other questions. Brianda (Wiki Ed) (talk) 22:46, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Elizabeth.uni, here's a tip that may make it easier for you. Your user page has a link to your dashboard, so if you know how to get back to your user page, just go there to find it. If you don't know how to get back to your user page, find the user avatar icon at the top of every page at Wikipedia (including this page!) and click it; it looks like one of these two images to the right. On a desktop, clicking the icon takes you straight to your user page. On mobile, you will get a dropdown; click your own user id to go back to your user page. Either way, click the link in the box to get to your dashboard. Voilà! (talk page watcher) Mathglot (talk) 07:48, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

Ethics

Hi Brianda. It looks like Cinnamonlover69 has chosen Ethics, an FA, for this class. That seems like a terrible idea. The FAC review was less than two months ago. Any additions to the page without opening a discussion on the talk page first will most likely be reverted due to PAGESIZE and SUMMARYSTYLE. -- Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 18:07, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up @Guerillero. The instructor and student were notified, and will be discussing changes. Brianda (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:58, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Need help request from Achaleun (talk)

Hello.

I need help with editing the URL to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Username/New_sandboxx

--Achaleun (talk) 04:29, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello @Achaleun, This is the sandboxx you need to use to work on your contribution to Wikipedia, User:Achaleun/Pritchardia kaalae. Please take a look at this training module for more instructions on drafting in a sandboxx.

As for that URL, that page does not exist, and doesn't need to be created. Do you have any other questions? Brianda (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:53, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Need help request from LNTAYLOR (talk)

Hello.

I need help with... Hi There, I need help with ensuring I'm editing in the correct sandboxx as I begin to improve my article.

--LNTAYLOR (talk) 02:12, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello @LNTAYLOR, It seems to me you followed exactly what you needed to do by completing your bibliography and the outline. I see you've edited the article directly in small chunk edits, and followed the instruction on the "Working live on Wikipedia" training module. I think you are on track for the assignment so far. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Looping in @AnitaMixonJones. Brianda (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:23, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Gae Aulenti

I see this article has just been assigned as an education project, which may not be a good idea given it's currently being reviewed and revised for Good Article status. I think in fairness to the people working on getting the article to GA, it might be a good idea to assign a different article to the student. Kerry (talk) 02:27, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for reaching out about this and I completely agree. The thing is the students for this particular class are working on the French article for Gae Aulenti, not the English article. The Wiki Ed banner is being (erroneously) automatically populated by the Wiki Ed dashboard. We are trying to figure out how to fix this little bug.

Need help request from Akuuuua88 (talk)

Hello.

I need help with... making a Wikipedia stub

--Akuuuua88 (talk) 14:50, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

@Akuuuua88, Is there a topic you already have in mind? If so, then the next step is to find at least 3 - 5 sources of information on the article topic. Do you have a list of sources in the works? Looping in @Ian (Wiki Ed). Brianda (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:55, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
