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.

I agree, such a noticeboard would be really valuable - a couple caveats:
1. Let's not end up with a proliferation of noticeboards, all poorly watched. One central board for all WEP concerns is fine for now, and if it gets too noisy it can be split on-demand.
2. Let's make sure that *all* Wikipedians are welcome to discuss concerns with WEP students, or in fact any students editing as part of a class, at the noticeboard. One way to encourage this is to put it in its own place in project space, rather than buried under the WEP page.
Since the concerns my ideal board covers are slightly broader than the WEP, I'm suggesting that we create it at a location like:
I could create this and outline its purpose at the top. Any thoughts?

Sounds good to me. How can we make sure that people who raise issues on that page will get actual help? It would be too bad if this was just a page for complaints (instead of also including a meaningful way of encouraging positive action).
