Hello! I don't really have much to say, and I'm not trying to bother you, but you are a volunteer for HSCI3013 at OU and part of our first Wikipedia assignment is to talk to someone helping with the class on Wikipedia.

Hello RageSoss,
My name is Eric and I am a part of the History of Ecology class at Bucknell. I am currently working on an outline for my Wikipedia article on David Ehrenfeld. I was just wondering if there is a certain protocol for writing about individual people rather than more broad topics. When writing my outline should I focus more on his personal life or his work? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi RageSoss, My name is Carly and I am working on contributing to the Biogeography page with two classmates from my History of Ecology class. We were wondering if we should focus on only adding information to the history section of the article, or if we should contribute to the other sections that seem to also need expansion. We believe that we could provide the most information to the history section by adding details of specific contributors to the study of biogeography as a science, in addition to it's progression. Please let us know what else you would recommend adding to either just the history section, or overall. Thank you very much. Ced015 ( talk) 17:49, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
Good morning RageSoss, My name is Shane and I am working on the Wikipedia page for the United States Atomic Energy Commission for the history of ecology class. I am looking to add a section/sections about the relationship between the Commission and the discipline of ecology (e.g. how Ecology got more funding for projects because of it, etc.). I think this is a fairly important section when discussing the overall page but I was wondering, how much do you think I should focus on incorporating this into the lead section? Also, are there any other sections that you think the page is most lacking or that could be improved at all? I don't want to focus completely on the relationship with ecology and then have the article become unbalanced since other sections may then be underdeveloped because of my work. Thanks!

Hey Ragesoss, I am working on an outline for my History of Ecology class at Bucknell University with Professor Stuhl. I decided to focus on the Environmental impact of war. The introduction to the article is well written, but leaves out Vietnam, WWII, Mao Zedong's great leap forward, and the Rwandan Genocide. Should I focus more on the progression of the impact of war on the environment by highlighting historical events? Should I add a new section for each topic mentioned above? Or should I take a more modern approach and create a new section that incorporates the research I have done (found on my user page)? Is my focus too broad or should I focus merely on one section since I only have a few weeks of school left. Thank you Mrjohnson007 ( talk) 18:38, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Hey ragesoss I plan on editing an existing article that is already pretty well developed. I'd like to provide a little more specific information and stronger explanations for certain sections. any suggestions on developing an outline for this? Rory.Bonner ( talk) 00:45, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
Ragesoss -
I am currently working in a group for a course with the goal to improve the "history of ecology" Wikipedia page. We hope not only to add more information, but to reorganize the page as well. Our currently outline is a redeveloped lead section which we will use to edit the rest of the document. Do you think we have added relevant information to the lead section and what are you opinions on the organization of the section?
Section:
Ecology is generally spoken of as a new science, having only become prominent in the second half of the 20th century. Its history stems all the way back to the 4th century. One of the first ecologists whose writings survive may have been Aristotle or perhaps his student, Theophrastus, both of whom had interest in many species of animals. Theophrastus described interrelationships between animals and their environment as early as the 4th century BC. Ecology developed substantially in the 18th and 19th century. It began with Linnaeus and his work with the economy of nature. Soon after cam Humboldt and his work with botanical geography. Wallace and Mobius then contributed with the notion of biocoenosis. Warming’s work with ecological plant geography led to the founding of ecology as a discipline. Darwin’s work also contributed to the science of ecology. Ecological thought expanded even more in the early 20th century. Major contributions included: Suess’ and Verndasky’s work with the biosphere, Arthur Tansley’s ecosystem, and Cowles ecological succession. Ecology influenced the social sciences and humanities. Human ecology began in the early 20th century and it recognized humans as an ecological factor. Later Lovelock advanced views on earth as a macro-organism with the Gaia hypothesis. Conservation stemmed from the science of ecology. Important figures and movements include Shelford and the ESA, National Environmental Policy act, Marsh, Roosevelt, Forbes, and post-dustbowl conservation. Later in the 20th century world governments collaborated on man’s effect on the biosphere and earth’s environment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrewscutt ( talk • contribs) 15:27, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi Ragesoss,
My name is Ali and I am currently taking Professor Stuhl's History of Ecology course at Bucknell University.
I am sure you have know a lot about our semester long project with Wikipedia, for which I have been assigned to work on and develop the Humboldtian Science page.
Through my research I can see that this article is well established and does a pretty good job of outlining and defining Humboldtian Science.
However there are a few questions I have that I would like to get your opinion on...
1) The article currently offers a pretty bulky "Biography" section about Humboldt. I was wondering how important you think this is for this particular page considering is there is already a pretty lengthy page dedicated personally to the history of Alexander von Humboldt? I think it is important to mention a few historical event in relation to the development of Humboldtian Science specifically and have chose to include those in the outline I have constructed for this article.
2) I think one of the most important aspects of Humboltian science is that it takes a holistic approach to studying science, it is both empirical and pays tribute to the aesthetics of nature, since this is such an important part of this science I was wondering if you thought it would be appropriate to write an entire section about this (there is enough research to support it) or to work in the most crucial details to some of the existing sections?
Thank you for all of your help! Alilafferty ( talk) 16:17, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
Hello Ragesoss! My name is Sara Palombo and I am a student in the History of Ecology class working on Wikipedia articles. I have chosen to focus on the Marine Biology page and will be adding to the History section of that page. As I looked over the current age and began gathering information for my outline/article, I began to worry that I am going to overwhelm the page with History. I don't know if I should perhaps condense the amount of information I am collecting to make sure the History section of the pace is not too long as many of the other sections on the page are rather short. I want to be thorough in my work on the history of marine biology but I am worried about making the page too much about the history. I was just wondering if you had any suggestions on how to go about this issue I am facing. Should I condense the information I have or should I include lots of information and hope others follow and add more on to the other sections? Thank you so much for all your help!

Hi Sage! My name is Ashley and I'm in Professor Stuhl's History of Ecology class at Bucknell. I'm working on the Kosmos (Humboldt) page and was hoping for some guidance as I try to compose an outline. Since the page is about the book rather than Humboldt himself, I was worried about making the page too focused on Humboldt and not enough about Kosmos specifically. I was wondering if you have any advice as to what information I should or shouldn't include about the book or about Humboldt? Thank you for your time! Ashleyweir ( talk) 19:53, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
Hello there,
I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.
First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.
Coming up in April, we have our first-ever Open Government WikiHack with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.
On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.
The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.
There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!
All the best,
James Hare

Hello Ragesoss, my name is Octavio and I am currently in professor Stuhl's history of ecology course. I am working on the article the Kaibab Plateau and this is the outline I composed for it. I was wondering if you could give me some advice as to what aspect of the outline I should focus on so that I can write on it for the Kaibab Plateau article. Thank you so much.
One possible addition to this article would be to talk about how the Kaibab Deer affected students and professors studying conservation. After scientists conducted studies and came up with a solution to what had caused the fluctuations among the deer population, these results were able to be used in classrooms in order to learn what had happened to the Kaibab deer. This was important and controversial because there was still a debate as to what had actually happened to the Kaibab deer. The Kaibab deer are a great example of how human intervention most likely caused the anomalies in the deer population and ultimately led to their extinction.
Another possible addition to this article would be to provide the different alternatives that people believed were the cause of the abnormal changes in deer population. There were different theories which were all plausible at the time. Some people believe that the growth and decline of the deer population was due to restrictions made on hunters so that the Kaibab deer could live freely and increase their population. Others believed that the cause was due to the killing of the predators that were causing the deer population to go extinct. Others believe that the decline of the deer population was due because there were so many deer that they ended up over browsing the area of the Kaibab Plateau. In this section I could also explain what was the actual reason that the deer population fluctuated, most likely due to human intervention.
Finally another possible addition to this article would be to add a small amount of background information about this area. In this section I could talk about how the Kaibab Plateau formed and how it became an important area of preservation. In this section I could also explain the different ways in which the natives to this area treated the land also how hunters and travelers treated the land and how that may have affected the fluctuations in deer population.

Hi there! I was chatting with Ced015 Lgn006 and Eak016 earlier today about their work on the page Biogeography. They are interested in soliciting more feedback from editors outside of our course. They were wondering if there is a mechanism in place by which one can detect the set of Wikipedia pages that offer internal links to Biogeography? They thought that might be a smart way to target particular pages and thus groups of editors with interests in the subject area. Is such a thing possible? If not, do you recommend other means of inviting editors to give comment on this page? Thanks for your thoughts! -- Enstandrew ( talk) 16:03, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedia Ambassador,
I am seeking input on your experience as a mentor to new Wikipedians. This survey is designed to provide insight for the development of a new mentorship support tool on Wikipedia. If you have a moment, please take this survey, it should not take more than 10 minutes of your time to complete.

I am pleased to announce our fourth annual picnic, the Great American Wiknic, will take place at Meridian Hill Park in Washington, D.C. on Sunday, July 13 from 1 to 5 PM (rain date: July 20). We will be hanging out by the statue of Dante Alighieri, a statue that was donated to the park in 1921 as a tribute to Italian Americans. Read more about the statue on Wikipedia. If you would like to sign up for the picnic, you can do so here. When signing up, say what you’re going to bring!
July will also feature the second annual Great American Wiknic in Frederick, Maryland. This year’s Frederick picnic will take place on Sunday, July 6 at Baker Park. Sign up here for the Frederick picnic.
What else is going on in July? We have the American Chemical Society Edit-a-Thon on Saturday, July 12, dedicated to notable chemists, and our monthly WikiSalon on Wednesday, July 16.

Dear Sage: I am sorry that I did not see your kind message from last Spring. Nathan was doing all the Wikipedia side of the class. I would like to catch up now, including doing the tutorials that students are expected to complete. Are you still available for consultation? Yrs, Peter
Greetings!
Sorry for the last minute update, but our friends at the DC Historical Society have scheduled a Battle of Fort Stevens Edit-a-Thon to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War battle fought in the District. The event will last from noon to 2 PM on Wednesday, July 30. Hope you can make it!

Ragesoss, I see that you have been a contributor to WikiProject Citizendium Porting. I am inclined to mark it as defunct, as there has been no work on it in a couple of years and it seems unlikely that Citizendium will be a useful source of content for Wikipedia articles in the future. Is that o.k. with you? RockMagnetist ( talk) 18:00, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
Sunday August 17: NYC Wiki-Salon and Skill Share | |
---|---|
![]() You are invited to join the the Wikimedia NYC community for our upcoming wiki-salon and knowledge-sharing workshop on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
Afterwards at 5pm, we'll walk to a social wiki-dinner together at a neighborhood restaurant ( to be decided). We hope to see you there!-- Pharos ( talk) 15:58, 4 August 2014 (UTC) |

Hi Sage, I am a bit confused at what happened at Talk:Intelligent design. I thought canvassing was out of bounds. Can you help me understand how your responding to it was OK? (or maybe you interpret the guideline differently than I do). Thanks. Jytdog ( talk) 14:13, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for updating Education Program:Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai/Expanding Wikiproject Medicine (2014 Spring) from fall to spring. I had tried to do this earlier but was unable to do so.
Also, we plan on using this course page continually, because this is a student club and not actually a class. Are you aware of other instances of the education program software being used in this way? It has been useful for what it is. Blue Rasberry (talk) 20:36, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
Come one and come all. To a presentation at the Laurel Historical Society about how you can help verify, validate, and edit the information that is on the front line of local history.

See you at the Laurel Pool Room, 9th and Main Street, Laurel, MD on Thursday, September 11, 2014 at 7:00 PM EST. See http://www.meetup.com/Wikimedia-DC/events/205494212/ for more information. Geraldshields11 ( talk) 02:13, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.
If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room.
When: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Where: The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC

Hello Sage...Thank you in advance for chatting with me about what I'm trying to do with my students on WP. I definitely have some ideas / questions to run by someone with your experience and expertise. Let me know if you'd like to chat via IRC or talk page (or email, or phone). Whatever works best for you. I'm in EST. Thanks again ! UOJComm ( talk) 16:24, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
