WUaS - World University and School worlduniversityandschool@gmail.com

2:58 PM (42 minutes ago)
to Larry, Lydia, Denny, Edward, Marian, nicoledgarrison26, Juliette
Hi Juliette, (and All),

Thanks for asking: 

Would World Univ & Sch like your BetterHelp "writers to edit the wiki article directly, and provide links to the sources you included (Marie's articles, my fellowship video, and the Cornell article)?" and 

"May we please also include a link to our article database (https://www.betterhelp.com/advice) and start page (https://www.betterhelp.com/start)?" - 

and for your interest. CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch is a work in progress - and WUaS is planning to be in all ~200 countries' main/official languages, probably with the 'subject headings' in our SUBJECT TEMPLATE translated with machine learning (eg here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/SUBJECT_TEMPLATE). LIKE WIKIPEDIA as a 'front end' (which is curated by stewards per a developing set of guidelines for them), WUaS may also have info boxes such as this simple one here (but which will grow more complex) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychotherapy - and both the subject templates and these 'info boxes,' for example, will be interoperable with Wikidata/Wikibase structured knowledge database, which is both Wikipedia's "back end" as well as machine readable.  

FYI, World Univ & Sch donated itself to Wikidata (in its ~300 languages) in 2015, received the WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki as a front end in 2017, and they're not yet interoperable. But all of this will inform WUaS's developing editorial guidelines. To summarize World Univ & Sch, on the one hand, WUaS seeks to offer free-to-students' online CC-4 MIT OCW-centric, licensing, Bachelor's (and other) degrees (in ~200 countries' official languages), and on the other hand, WUaS seeks to facilitate editable wiki schools for open teaching and learning - in all 7111 known living languages. 

So, Juliette, have you ever added to a Wikipedia page before, simply by clicking 'edit' this page? Here are some beginning Wikipedia guidelines - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view - for your consideration. And here you can find criticism of Wikipedia's somewhat central "notability" criteria, based on verifiability, and much more here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Wikipedia . And here is a Wikipedia simplified ruleset - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Simplified_ruleset - 


Core content policies
Other content policies
  1. Neutral point of view: Write from a neutral point of view. Make a fair representation of the world as reliable sources describe it. All articles should be balanced to convey an impression of the various points of view on a subject. Some views may get more attention than others, depending on the attention they receive in reliable sources. Wikipedia has no "opinion" of its own; it just accurately summarizes reliable sources.
  2. Verifiability: Articles should contain only material that has been published by reliable sources. These are sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy, like newspapers, academic journals, and books. Even if something is true our standards require it be published in a reliable source before it can be included. Editors should cite reliable sources for any material that is controversial or challenged, otherwise it may be removed by any editor. The obligation to provide a reliable source is on whoever wants to include material.
  3. No original research: Articles may not contain previously unpublished arguments, concepts, data, or theories, nor any new analysis or synthesis of them if it advances a position. In other words, you can't make a point that hasn't already been directly made somewhere else in a reliable source. You can summarize, but it has to be based in the sources.
  4. Be bold in updating pages! Go ahead, it's a wiki! No mistake can break Wikipedia, because any edit can be undone. Encourage others, including those who disagree with you, to likewise be bold! If you find yourself disagreeing with someone's boldness, or they with yours, discuss it on the talk page. That's it.

But Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia, while World Univ & Sch is an online group of wiki universities and schools, so is probably going to develop a different rule set ... And WUaS may seek to include, or be open to, original research, for example. 


So, yes, in principle, writers could, as you ask, "edit the wiki article directly, and provide links to the sources you included (Marie's articles, my fellowship video, and the Cornell article) ... ?," all of which I find to be helpful and smart potential resources; - but probably not your BetterHelp writers (see, too - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/owl-online-psychoanalysis.html, including citation practices for Marie's psychiatry articles).

And while I think WUaS, like Wikipedia, is aiming in general to stay away from 'advertising' in its many forms, newly construed on the Web (and newly too with machine learning), I notice that forms of what I'd call  'advertising' have crept in to Wikipedia, for example, in listing companies (per its 'notability' policy), I think, but it's also per Wikipedia's selective, possibly inconsistent, guidelines, decided on by Wikipedia. But learning from Wikipedia's Psychotherapy page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychotherapy - and that BetterHelp itself is a Wikipedia article - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BetterHelp - and with regard to World Univ & Sch's Psychotherapy page (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Psychotherapy), I think you'll see that BetterHelp isn't listed on Wikipedia's 'Psychotherapy' or 'Mental Health' pages, by way of further comparison. WUaS may follow suit in these regards. 

I'm including here Larry Viehland, who's the chair of the WUaS Board, and involved in some of this thinking-through process. And I'm including here Lydia Pintscher too, who is the Product Manager for Wikidata in its ~300 languages and as it grows its far-reaching structured knowledge database information technologies, and based in Berlin - since new WUaS rules would affect how WUaS emerges from Wikidata differentially from Wikipedia from Wikidata. And I'm including Denny Vrandečić, founder and chief ontologist, of Wikidata, who might have great ideas about all these questions. Juliette, would you like to help develop some guidelines further - and with regards to creating new great policies that would be fair, consistent, open and machine readable eventually? Lydia & Denny - what thoughts do you have in these regards? Juliette, I think World Univ & Sch will seek also to bring up these questions too at WUaS Monthly Business Meeting (3rd Saturdays), next on February 15th. 

In addition, I think WUaS would be interested in exploring communicating with you further regarding possible, actual, mental health counseling online - under the supervision of World University and School's medical doctors (of which Ed Smyth MD above is a founding Board member) - for matriculating Bachelor's degree students in the autumn of 2020, first in English, and along the lines of Cornell, your, Juliette, alma mater's, approach to student psychotherapy and counseling (eg in the web sites I shared with you). In addition, too, in these regards, to WUaS exploring facilitating online Lacanian psychoanalysis, WUaS may also seek to develop an operant condition approach (eg BF Skinner-informed) approach to mental health - https://youtu.be/ckNB9lAPhf0 from KP-affiliated MD Jeffery Walsh - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzr5henOY-jyfLaREAc0_1g?reload=9&reload=9 ). 

Thank you for your interest and questions, Juliette, and I look forward to hearing further from you, as we perchance co-think these questions through further. 

With best wishes, Scott

P.S. Again: I looked up 'Cornell University student mental health services' and found these following helpful perspectives regarding World Univ & Sch in the autumn. 


Highlights:

  • Students are now able to access care when they need it, through 25-minute counseling sessions that can often be scheduled the same day. 
  • Students have increased flexibility in deciding which mental health provider they see and when: they can select a counselor based on convenience or availability (i.e., first available appointment or a visit with a provider of their choosing).
  • A student’s first visit is a 25-minute session during which the counselor will focus on meeting the student’s immediate needs, learning about the student’s goals for treatment, and making a recommendation for next steps, if needed (e.g., a 25-minute or 50-minute follow-up appointment, group counseling, or referrals to other resources on or off campus).

Mental Health Care

Our Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS) and primary care medical services teams work together to provide confidential, professional support for Cornell students. 
Common reasons students seek include care include:
  • Stress & anxiety
  • Depression & loneliness
  • Trauma or grief
  • Adjustment challenges
  • Relationship difficulties
  • Questions about identity
  • Managing existing mental health conditions
Not a student? Please see our Who We Serve page.

Services

See information below about …

Individual counseling . . .


Individual Counseling

Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) offers a safe place to talk with someone privately about any concern. Our services are confidential, and designed to help you process and problem-solve regarding issues that may be affecting your quality of life and ability to learn.
Our 35+ professional therapists include psychologists and clinical social workers from diverse cultural and clinical backgrounds who are trained and experienced in dealing with the wide range of mental health concerns faced by college students. Counselors work closely with our on-staff psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners to support students who may need medication evaluation and management. 

* New as of Fall 2019 *

  • CAPS is now offering more rapid access to care, with 25-minute counseling visits that are often available within the next 24 hours. (Follow-up appointments, when needed, may be 25 minutes or 50 minutes.)
  • Students no longer need to schedule a phone assessment as the first step to getting care. Instead, just schedule an in-person visit online or by phone (see below).
  • You can now decide which provider you want to see, and when.
  • There are now more options for follow-up care and other types of mental health support. 

Appointments

25-minute counseling appointments

These counseling sessions are designed to address your immediate needs and provide short-term guidance and support. View our counselor bios here.
You may schedule 25-minute counseling visits as needed. If you want to see the same counselor again, you may work with them to schedule a follow-up appointment (see below). Counselors may also recommend group counseling, psychiatry, behavioral health consultation, or other Cornell Health, campus, or community resources.
Schedule a 25-minute counseling appointment:
  • Log in to myCornellHealth (24/7) and click “Appointments” 
  • Or call 607-255-5155 (#3) or stop by Cornell Health during business hours
It's particularly the language of all of the above and with regards to Cornell students that I find helpful regarding prospective students at World Univ & Sch.

WUaS - World University and School worlduniversityandschool@gmail.com

10:20 AM (1 hour ago)
to Peter, Juliette, Larry, Lydia, Denny, Edward, Marian, nicoledgarrison26
Juliette, Nicole, Larry, Lydia, Denny, Marie, Ed, Peter, 

By the way, here's a very related recent email to Nicole, who reached out to me about posting to WUaS's wiki subject pages too, and regarding CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch's CC-4 licensing approach: 

Hi Nicole, 

Thanks for reaching out. As you may have seen, World Univ & Sch is wiki, so you can openly wiki-add your own posts, writings or testimonials in an open teaching and learning vein (a little like adding to a Wikipedia article). See the main Subjects' page here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - for example. 

That said, WUaS in general is MIT OpenCourseWare-centric - https://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm - and is heading, like CC-4 licensed MIT OCW, in the direction of CC-4 licensing for people adding their own content to WUaS, and here's an example - https://opencontent.org/blog/archives/307. By adding CC-4 licensing to one's writings, it's like ownership for sharing, and in brief, it says that anyone can a) share, b) adapt, but c) non-commercially (like MIT OCW itself). So it would allow you, Nicole, to post your writings - https://liveinspiredmag.com/about/ - with this kind of licensing. 

If you wanted to add an article you wrote, Nicole, you could pick a wiki subject page, and cite them something like this ... 
Miguel, Marie. 2018. [https://themighty.com/2018/05/i-didnt-choose-depression/ Depression is not a choice]. May 30. The Mighty: A Digital Health Community.

to /Psychotherapy at WUaS ?

Miguel, Marie. 2018. [https://goodmenproject.com/featured-content/talking-out-your-problems-with-a-psychologist-vs-a-psychiatrist-bh/ Talking Out Your Problems with a Psychologist vs. a Psychiatrist Who you’re revealing your mental health issues to matters]. May 28. The Good Men Project.

to /Psychology and /Psychiatry at WUaS ? 

(In a related vein, someone recently asked WUaS: 


"Would you be open to us collaborating and working together in some capacity?"


And I replied: Yes, and am seeking to think through what would be helpful for WUaS matriculating students in the autumn ...  Have blogged about our conversation and a related conversation here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/owl-online-psychoanalysis.html ). 

So you're welcome to add an article, Nicole, especially if it's CC-4 licensed. 

 Best, Scott

 P.S. I blogged about this here (and more), Nicole - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/painted-turtle-lego-robotics-into.html -

I think it will be much easier with AI and machine learning to use CC-4 licensing as a criterion for adding your writings to World Univ & Sch than to use the Wikipedia criteria ...
