Reference question re: BC class

Hi Gabe, I was wondering what the best method is for adding the 3 references to the talk pages. Should the students create a bibliography section and then add references with the template? When I do this, I get a footnote rather than a bibliographic entry. What am I doing wrong? Docjay57 (talk) 05:10, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

BC Class

Hi Gabe--How do I add articles and reviewers to the box on the bottom of my course page? I want to assign peer reviewers and thought this would be a good place to list it. Also, I'll let you know about the office hours next week, once the students are back from Spring break. Wish I were away on spring break, rather than here waiting for another snow storm!

Min Chiu Li

Heya. Finally getting around to reading your most recent version of the Min Chiu Li piece. Looks great! And congrats on the DYK. Just nominated my first article for that today :) We missed you at the Berkman edit-a-thon, btw. Hope all's well... I'll be at the one at Bocoup on Saturday, probably on the earlier side.

Steven Landsburg

Hi Gabe, I was wondering why you flagged the update to Steven Landsburg's recent comments about Rape as vandalization. They were properly cited to his writings, do nothing to threaten the integrity of wikipedia, and are factually accurate. They seem like something people might care about, since suggesting some rape is good is not a particularly popular position. What is your reasoning here? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.161.127.75 (talk) 22:49, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Phone rollbacks

I saw your phone rollback note at the ENB, and thought you might be interested in this, which completely solved the problem for me. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 15:49, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Removed as 'student' from course page

Hey, Gabriel! Just letting you know I removed you as a 'student' from the Arte Povera class at Tufts, but you're still there as a Campus volunteer. Just wanted to clear up the 'feed' that comes in to the professor/online ambassador. Hope you don't mind; your many many edits were throwing me off :). Good problem to have, of course.

Disambiguation link notification for April 14

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited California hide trade, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Chinook, Kodiak and Haida (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
