Talk:Mentorship

message: Should this page include information about the types of activities performed by mentors? Should it include advantages of mentoring? (Such as a discussion about why mentoring is useful, why organizations have mentoring programs, and a discussion of the challenges of mentoring for women and minorities.) I can add those things, but I'm not sure if they would be interesting to people. --Marthafein
:I would think that all you mentioned would be useful. A criterion that I sometimes use is to ask myself if the material I have written answers any of the questions: What? mel? Why? Who? and When? If the answer is yes, then it will propably a worthwhile contribution. mydogategodshat 00:55, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

message: "Mentee" seems only to have arisen in the late 1960s out of a misguided need to have an easy-to-remember and easy-to-spell counterpart to "mentor," when the proper word is protégé.  Nobody is "menting" anybody, therefore nobody is being "mented" and nobody is a "mentee."  My personal inclination is to replace all instances of this annoying word, but I thought I would get others' impressions here first. Beeeej (talk) 13:01, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Terminology

message: this paragraph:
"It is important to appreciate the differences between instructing, coaching and mentoring. Instructing deals largely with the dissemination of knowledge. Coaching deals primarily with skill building, whereas a mentor is one who helps shape the outlook or attitude of the individual. Alternately, an instructor would typically help out with the job at hand or the work. A coach would help out with work and career related issues. A mentor on the other hand would focus on issues pertaining to career and life. -- Ayan Banerji, Kolkata, India."
is totally unsubstantiated?!?!

message: This diff  is the point in February 2009 when the section on Blended mentoring was added. The user responsible was an IP user and has not used that IP since.
I'm not sure that it is a copyvio but it is definitely plagiarism. Entire sentences, and indeed the structure also, follow the official blurb for the EMPIRE project which can be found here .
I know next to nothing about mentoring in the sense that it is portrayed in this article. In fact, having read the article I think that I now know even less! Approaching it from this angle, I've been copyediting etc to better reflect the requirements of a "normal" reader, plus fixing the horrendous citation problems. But I'm not prepared to re-write an entire section which is mostly management-speak gobbedegook to me.
If it is not rewritten within, say, a week from now then I am going to reduce it to something close to a three or four sentence section. Even I can manage that. - 
Opinions please? - Sitush (talk) 05:59, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
