[mmoreshead]

@IvetaHron and @Rubaaw - you will need to log into the wiki once before I can give you permissions to edit the wiki. Can you let me know once you've done that?

@Angelvicks @RegMWilson @tyanastone -- you're all good to go.

[Rubaaw]

@mmoreshead yes im already signed in :D

[mmoreshead]

@Rubaaw when you are logged in, can you confirm for me what is up on the right top corner of the page?

[mbengtanyi]

[Angelvicks]

Hello, I did some punctuation and grammar update on this page https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Developers

[IvetaHron]

Hi @mmoreshead I am already signed in.

[mmoreshead]

@Rubaaw & @IvetaHron - great, you have edit permission now.

@moreinob can I ask you to log into the wiki one more time? I can't see your CCID yet and sometimes it takes an additional log in.

[moreinob]

@mmoreshead my CCID is moreinouma not moreinob, I mistakenly used my ID here. Please use moreinouma

[mmoreshead]

ok @moreinob - I have updated your permissions!

[Rubaaw]

Hello, So i was revising and reading the wiki, there is OER wiki that has only a link redirecting to https://creativecommons.org/education Are we allowed to add new content to the wiki ? or just revising the existed content ?

[moreinob]

I have revised the data page under the CC case studies. The introductory part was confusing. I made grammatical changes that will help people better understand the purpose of the page and still maintained the original context. https://wiki.creativecommons.org/index.php?title=Data&oldid=117361

[Rubaaw]

I have revised Translate Wiki page.

• Reorder the table Format (Lang. Column width)
• Added hyperlinks to the Languages.
• Added missing languages with links
• Removed dead links

[Angelvicks]

I have this page https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Translate/Documentation#CC_Learn_Productions I removed dead links.

[kgodey]

thank you for your contributions, everyone!

[gabrielassena]

Hello, my name is Gabriela and I'm a Outreachy applicant and I will be glad to make a contribution to this project, I created my CCID(gabrielassena), can you please get me edit permission

Thanks

[mmoreshead]

Hi @gabrielassena - you will need to log into the wiki one more time before your CCID can be approved. Please log in and confirm here afterwards.

[gabrielassena]

Hi @mmoreshead - I logged in again, I think the CCID is available for approval. Tks.

[mmoreshead]

Perfect, you have permissions now @gabrielassena

[GettyOrawo]

Hey, I just signed up and I don't understand what exactly is my CCID. Some help please?

[annatuma]

@GettyOrawo have you been able to log into the Wiki yet? I assume you signed up here for a CCID. You'll need to log in at least once before @mmoreshead can approve your CCID for edit permissions.

[mmoreshead]

@GettyOrawo when you log into the wiki, you can see your CCID on the top right side.

[Jethet]

@kgodey My CCID is Jethet. I would like to contribute to the wiki. Re. the process: do I just pick a page myself or do you assign pages?

[mmoreshead]

@Jethet I just approved your account.

[Jethet]

Thank you @mmoreshead . I am new to your way of working so it would be great to get a bit more explanation about what to do next. Thanks!

[Jethet]

@mmoreshead More specifically: is this the information we need to adhere to? https://github.com/creativecommons/cc-resource-archive and https://github.com/creativecommons/cc-resource-archive/blob/master/resourcetemplate.md If we fork the repo and work in the wiki online, how does that link up?

[Jethet]

@mmoreshead Could you have a look to see if this is in line with what is expected: https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Wiki

[mmoreshead]

@Jethet simply edit a page, no need to do anything complicated.

[GettyOrawo]

Here's the page I'm bumping into once I log in. Sorry, so what exactly is my CCID?

[mmoreshead]

@GettyOrawo that's the login page, the info I'm looking for is on the wiki itself (when you are logged in) https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Main_Page -- What does it say after CCID on the top right side there when you are logged in?

[Jethet]

@mmoreshead I am revising this page https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Data. Under the third question of the section Frequently asked questions about data and CC licenses it says:

a database provider should first make sure she has all rights necessary to do so.

Are there guidelines for the use of her/his/their and she/he/them in the CC wiki?

[mmoreshead]

@Jethet No, at this time there are no guidelines.

[Jethet]

@mmoreshead I have revised https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Data. The main edits aim to:

1. Clarify the text, avoid using words such as 'notwithstanding' and 'however
2. Increase readability by breaking up long sentences into two proper sentences
3. Solve unclear sentences such as

   Database providers should also consider carefully what elements of the database she wants covered by the CC legal tool

Some very specific text such as "bright line test" have been replaced by text that will be better understood by non-Americans. Also, some grammar and writing errors were corrected.

[Jethet]

@mmoreshead I am editing the page regarding the OER project (https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/OER_Project) and have added a general explanation of what OER means, linking it to another page of the CC wiki with more information.

In the current text on the page for the OER Project, it says:

There are many ways you can help develop the OER Project and the open educational community

The 'project' part of the OER Project is not explained anywhere. Where can I find information about the project, the goal, who is involved, some history, etc., to clarify this?

[mmoreshead]

@Jethet This would be a very good example of a page that is so long out of date that it's probably not worth updating. Maybe try another page?

[Jethet]

@mmoreshead Thank you. I will leave it at that.

[GettyOrawo]

my CCID is Getty Orawo could I kindly get permissions to edit? Thank you

[mmoreshead]

@GettyOrawo there are no spaces in a CCID. As I already said, log into the wiki and tell me what it says after CCID on the top right side.

[GettyOrawo]

Hey @mmoreshead sorry but it honestly says Getty Orawo unless I am to add an underscore?
