Hey all, I have now created:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Education_noticeboard
Brief description from the header:
----
Purpose of this page:
This page is for discussion of students editing Wikipedia as part of their
assigned coursework, with a focus on participants in the Wikipedia
Education Program.
It is for incidents that require rapid feedback and attention. These
include:
* Students deploying articles that have quality problems and need cleanup.
* Students whose ambassadors have gone missing and need guidance or support.
* Cases of incivility or conflict between ambassadors and faculty/students.
* Cases of incivility or conflict between faculty/students and other
Wikipedians.
* Courses where the faculty have become nonresponsive.
* Courses where the structure of the course is inappropriate or students
are unaware of important policies.
* A participating student's article has been deleted or nominated for
deletion.
* A participating student, faculty member, or ambassador has been blocked.
* Any other issue with a user who appears to be a student editing as an
assignment.
----
It needs your posts to become useful and survive! If you've encountered an
education-related incident recently, please post about it, even if it's not
urgent. Thank you!
I'm going to post about this on some other lists too.
