Misplaced Pages Campus Ambassador needed

Hi! My name is Annie Lin - I'm the Campus Team Coordinator at the Wikimedia Foundation. I'm contacting you because you're listed as a resident of San Francisco, and we're currently looking for a friendly Wikipedian to teach students in a University of San Francisco class how to use/edit Misplaced Pages. This is a role titled the "Misplaced Pages Campus Ambassador," and you'll basically be doing in-class presentations about Misplaced Pages, running Misplaced Pages labs/workshops, and in general providing face-to-face Misplaced Pages help for the professor and the students in the class. The time commitment is about 3-5 hours a week (with variations throughout the semester), and for this particular University of San Francisco class, most of the workload will be between March and May.

Please let me know if you're interested!

No, I'm not interested. 3-5 hours per week, week in week out, and unpaid is a huge commitment, even if it was on my own campus (Merritt College). Second issue, you're additionally asking me to do this on a campus (USF) I have no connection with whatsoever, and to commit 3-5 hours per week to that. It simply amazes me that Wikimedia Foundation is asking this of people. I'm not sure how many volunteers you're getting this way, but you'd probably get more if you allowed for varying levels of commitment. Also, avoid assigning people to spend time on campuses they have no connection to! Peter G Werner (talk) 08:38, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Misplaced Pages's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at Socialist Party of America, you may be blocked from editing. This edit introduced the slander "democratic centralism" in the article, also suggesting copy-right infringement of the SPUSA's history.  Kiefer.Wolfowitz 11:15, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Perhaps you don't know what "democratic centralism" implies. If so, then I can forgive you, but there is still a problem of close paraphrasing. If you have done similar paraphrasing in other articles, then it needs to be corrected, I understand.

• This edit was NPOV and well done.  Kiefer.Wolfowitz 11:45, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
