Student Spotlights
The student spotlight thing is a nice idea, but how do you decide who is "worthy" of the spotlight? Is it basically just whoever has a well developed Hampedia page? --14:26, 15 February 2011 Wfw07


 * The current one wasn't chosen by me (ask Ananda), but I think it'll probably just be well-developed changes that are only recently well-developed - for example, the current one, Samuel Nordli, has been edited very recently (Feb. 13), and the edits on that day constitute most of the content. So it's highlighting a recently-made-interesting page. So that's my guess! Probably my page, for example, won't end up there unless I do a significant revision changing most of the content.

 * The decision-making process is not extensive or intensive, by any means. When I change the spotlight, I change it to highlight, as Ian noted, a recently-changed page that seems interesting or particularly well-made. This is highly arbitrary, for, as you have probably noticed, the spotlight changes pretty randomly, when I happen to remember to do it. If you or anybody else wanted a page highlighted on the spotlight, just email hampedia@hampshire.edu, and it will almost certainly go up on the spotlight, unless it is a page containing little or no information, is badly made, or contains obvious misinformation. I had been planning on spotlighting student profiles for quite a while, and am only now getting around to making a concerted effort to do so. Agv07 20:18, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
