Welcome
Hi, welcome to Academic Jobs Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the Academic Jobs Wiki page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- KyleH (Talk) 14:38, September 12, 2009

Administrators
Hi Una,

I noticed this is a pretty active wiki that doesn't currently have an administrator. As one of the more active users, would you be interested in taking on admin rights? It doesn't mean anything special, just a few extra tools for customizing and maintaining the wiki, including replacing the blue "wikia" logo with one of your choice, and the ability to delete pages that are unwanted or no longer needed. If there are others on the wiki that would like to become co-admins, I'd be happy to do that as well.

Please let me know on my talk page if you're willing to do this for the wiki-- Thanks! — Catherine (talk) 23:57, February 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Excellent! I've given you the administrator and bureaucrat rights. See the "extra tools" link above for some how-to information; Help:Logo will help you update the logo, and there's a lot of other information at Help:Index. If you'd like to give the admin tools to other trusted users, as a bureaucrat you may use Special:UserRights to do so.


 * Thanks so much for your help! This wiki consistently has some of the most active pages on our 80,000+ sites -- we are very pleased to be able to help the academic community in this way. Good luck, and please don't hesitate to ask if we can do anything else to help. — Catherine (talk) 20:18, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

Una,

Just wanted to thank you for running this page. This is an amazing resource that helps to both consolidate ads from a number of different sources (AHA, H-Net, Chronicle, etc.) and helps post any additional information surrounding the jobs or departments. It's been a huge help, and I plan on contributing if I hear anything further about any of the modern Euro jobs.

Dear Una,

What prompted the deletion of the entire Fullerton Job Listing? Vjanssen 18:09, September 30, 2010 (UTC)

No more "history" tab?
Why have you taken out "history" tab? It makes it so much easier to see exactly what edits have been added recently, so that you don't have to scroll through the whole page and try to remember what was old? I also thought this was a mechanism for preventing people from sabotaging the site.

(after reply): My apologies! That sounded quite accusatory, didn't it? I keep forgetting that there are other admins out there changing the design, etc. And thanks for clarifying that you can just run your cursor over that little line at the top with the editing history, and it will offer you an option to view the whole history. Thanks, Una!

Thanks for your work; I can't believe the vitriol of some overheated posters on the US history page...

new admin

Thank you
Thank you for so industriously keeping the English job search pages up to date! This is a very valuable resource. JobSeeker28 21:17, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

Deleting info
I know we are not supposed to delete information posted by others, but many participants here are new on the job market and don't realize how easily their specific identity can become visible here. I hope you understand what I'm referring to! I would leave a message for that poster myself, but I have no idea how to do that.
