SB Johnny and Wikiversity Options

[Ottava]

So SB Johnny decided to block me for one week on Wikiversity just because. Wonderful stuff. He claimed I was being disruptive for complaining that Abd was pretending to check recent changes while not actually doing that.

If you haven't noticed, Abd has been selectively welcoming people who are disruptive and they all happened to vote in support of him. They also say he has been doing a good job at recent changes.

Anyone can see from my contrbs that I had to go through and fix a lot. It isn't a coincidence. SB Johnny claims I have done nothing since coming back, but that is pure bs. I love how Wikiversity is making Wikipedia look far better in terms of logical practices.

I would like for someone to post on my talk page how to create a learning resource. I've been poking around but don't see an 'Idiot's Guide: Creating a Learning Resource on Wikiversity.'

When I log on and start stacking my blocks I just see a bunch of people biting each other's necks.

It's discouraging, so I wander on over and vote down whatever looks asinine.

Then people mutter about me being 'inactive.'

Pish tosh I say. (My mother used to mutter that. She was from Southampton. I am from Texas, but still use it.)

That's not been the norm at all. Hasn't been happening for months. My permanent vote pulled the bugs out of the woodwork. Ottava came back to vote. Salmon of Doubt who hadn't edited since 2008 showed up, that was astonishing.

Yeah.

Then people mutter about me being 'inactive.'

It may not be what it looks like. I needed, for my own information and maybe for that of others, to analyze the voting by activity, because it seemed to me there was a drastic difference. People really active with Wikiversity, who had been seeing my work, were far more in favor of what I was doing than those who were merely voting based on old grudges and fixed opinions. That's all. I classified you as active, not checking, just based on my impression. Which was mistaken. Ottava made a big flap about that here, but I corrected it on-wiki. Being inactive, if one is, is not a crime.

Welcome back, Zoloft. I didn't realize that this was you.

As to creating resources, you can create resources that are essays or collections of essays. You can do original research. There are some standards, but it's a pretty safe place if you are cooperative. Don't freak out if someone objects to something, we will work it out. Most of the time you can just do what you want. If you do something possibly problematic, it will come to my attention, probably. And my goal is to see that you can do whatever is legitimate about what you want to do. Liberally construed.

But I'll also protect the wiki against "cross-wiki disruption," which occasionally comes up....

Given a choice between Abd-crazy and Ottava-crazy, I'll take Abd-crazy. Abd's far more pleasant company, even if he does talk too much.

In person, you'd just say, "You're talking to much," and I'd say, "Right." And shut up and listen.

Thanks.

Maybe I need to step back in there and restore some order?

Was there any order to begin with? (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/blink.gif)

No. The order is being created. Some people don't like that.

As to the drama, the month of my probationary custodianship was pretty uneventful. yeah, there was some Stuff, but it was all quickly and efficiently handled.
