Editing Talk:Voter Turnout

I'm kind of wondering what the stance is on these "articles" that keep getting posted about PS 240. While its interesting to see what is in a class, it's not particularly useful beyond that and could potentially clutter up the system. Thoughts?

This is used as a study guide for the class.  Our midterm is on Monday, and each member of the class is expected to contribute to help the class study.  

We would appreciate it if those not in the class would leave it alone, as it is the only study guide we get.

Thank you.

Its just very silly to put it in such a malleable place. Its an interesting idea, but not particularly helpful to most parties. There are plenty of other resources out there that can be utilized (Moodle or courses.knox.edu) that aren't so easily changeable and only the professor can edit.

I also find this whole group of articles a bit in conflict with the mission statement of this website. Imagine if someone were to start posting ads for businesses, slide shows of their trip to Africa, or pornography in claiming that is a public space and therefore can put what they want on it. The wikifire is not a public space. It is a public project, not something that is meant to be used for various personal projects.

-Professor Civettini is doing a neat thing here. If he needed something only he could alter, moodle would be fine, but TWF's format actually works really well for this. There's no collaborative system on which a class could write their own study guide that wouldn't involve a lot of work for somebody making accounts/permissions for the class. It also draws more users to the site, which I can't complain about. I'll make a PS 240 category and tag all the stuff from the class sometime soon. Please don't give him a hard time about this. I realize that this kind of stuff could become clutter at some point, but we'll figure something out.
