Student essay editing Andy if you are so keen then you are encouraged to make the improvements These contributions are inferior in many ways as is being widely discussed not only by myself but others The rest of us have day jobs so limited time to contribute As you probably know from your teaching experiences repairing student essays take hours of effort and time Sincerely said I just do nt think that these unsupervised contributions from students are of the technical or stylistic standards we are accustomed to in Wikipedia The graphics are copyright violations the article are often violate WP NOTTEXTBOOK and are preachy or making value judgements The referencing ignores WP SECONDARY If you find these massive additions salvageable then you can join the completely absent instructor in editing We really hope that you can help with content I find your mass removal of good faith contributions by new editors and your repeatedly pejorative descriptions of them both outwith the spirit of Wikipedia WP BITE WP AGF and disruptive WP POINT If you are too busy to make fixes that s OK you are not personally required to do so just leave the material for others to fix Pigsonthewing Talk to Andy Andy s edits As I have already indicated at that stage in my traiing would have submitted similarly awful essays So my pejorative comments are directed at the so called ambassadors coordinators instructors who foster and protect such inappropriate and poorly crafted content Like you they are waiting and praying for someone with writing skills to intervene But as you re discovering determined mediocrity can be difficult to rectify within the fringes of Wikipedia Looking forward to your help with editing these and other articles Those people may have been your intended targets but that s quite clearly not the result you achieved here as elsewhere And no I do not pray Pigsonthewing Talk to Andy Andy s edits There is no result to be achieved the students dropped their essay bomb on Wikipedia and got their grades The ambassadors coordinators instructors are flush with approval that they are encouraging and nuturing and being innovative in their engagement of Wikipedia
