Greetings Simple Wikipedians! I used to have an account but perhaps it's been deactivated due to inactivity. My name is Hunter. I'm teaching a computer course in Chalermkwansatree School in Phitsanulok, Thailand and have given my students an assignment to create content that did not previously exist in Simple English Wikipedia. I have split the class into 15 article-writing groups, 4 English editors and 2 factual content editors. I wanted everybody to have an account like Chalermkwan1, Chalermkwan2, etc., CHSeditor1, etc. We were only allowed to create 6 accounts from the same IP range (we are working from a single computer lab). For this reason, I told any groups that were unable to create an account to just use the Chalermkwan13 account.
In the meantime, many of the groups have posted their articles and today our editing team was going to begin the proofreading process. I thought it would be most efficient to let them do the editing on wikipedia itself so they can experience first-hand the collaborative working experience. I didn't think any pages would be edited or deleted by moderators in such a short amount of time, so I didn't bother instructing them about what to do if someone deletes their article. Some of them panicked and reversed moderators changes, because they were afraid they would not get points for the assignment. I have instructed my students to refrain from logging in and changing anything until I am able to resolve this issue with the Simple English moderators.
Aem Fatson, I understand your initial suspicions of vandalism and reasons for blocking my students accounts and deleting their articles. But please be patient. We want to enrich Simple English Wikipedia. We have a process in place for correction. If you unblock my students and wait a week or two, I will notify you that our editing teams have finished their work. I am a native speaker and will also play a final supervisory role in the editing process should that be a concern.
FYI, here is a list of the groups and topics that they are working on:
Group 1 – Phetchabun
Group 2 – Suphanburi
Group 3 – Thai Houses
Group 4 – Yasothon
Group 5 – Phuket
Group 6 – Thai Fashion
Group 7 – Trang
Group 8 – Khorat
Group 9 – Thailand Attractions
Group 10 – Lopburi
Group 11 – Sukhothai
Group 12 – Ayudhaya
Group 13 – Pattaya
Group 14 – Thai Food
Group 15 – Thai Temples
Thanks!
