The question "What is the WikiAnswers Mentoring Program all about?".
There are three: Protege, Mentor, and Senior Mentor.
The Head would be Ganderton, The Community Manager here at WikiAnswers. See The Related Link for his profile.
The Mentoring Program was designed for newly-appointed supervisors to have the opportunity to learn from experienced supervisors. No supervisor is turned away, though. We are always eager to help any supervisor who wants to learn a new superpower or has questions about WikiAnswers!
If it is misspelled in an answer, then it is not WikiAnswers that misspelled it. WikiAnswers is a wiki, which means it has people answering questions, some of whom are good spellers and some of whom are not.
One becomes a senior mentor with time and mentoring a new mentor and protege, but will be asked at the proper time.
I can give many hours to the mentoring program because it's very important to the wikianswers web site and me. It's helpful for users to know and understand how to use the super tools. Also, how to conduct themselves on the site, and it's important to me and for me to be a good example to them. This is what I give to the mentoring program and my proteges, myself.
If you are asking about whom it was that founded the website WikiAnswers it was a gentleman by the name of Chris Whitten. If you are asking whom it is that answers the question of the website WikiAnswers, it is many different people from all walks of life with various areas of knowledge and expertise, just like yourself.
According to the Help Center of WikiAnswers, the mentoring program "matches up experienced site Supervisors (mentors) with newly promoted Supervisors (protégés) in an effort to provide a friendly, fun and worthwhile learning experience. Mentors provide solid support and guidance, garnered from their own hands-on experiences working as Supervisors within the WikiAnswers community." For more information on the Mentoring Program, see the Related Link. -- Become a registered WikiAnswers member; -- Become a Supervisor (Floating/Category supervisor); -- Get allocated a Mentor and learn the ropes; -- Graduate from being mentored; -- Be aware that mentoring is basically a form of teaching. Make sure, therefore, that you understand very well how the site works, how to use the various tools, etc.
A Senior Mentor on WikiAnswers is a Mentor who has graduated proteges from the program and has committed to providing support and guidance to a new Mentor who has just joined the program; usually this is one of his or her own graduated proteges, but not always. The idea is to give the new members of the Volunteer Mentoring Program someone specific to rely on for answers to their Mentoring questions, just as a Mentor does this for a Supervisor who has just joined our community.
Stupid Little Genius is the one who assigns projects, and will also help you if you have questions. Anyone who Graduateds the mentoring program and then became a Mentor them self can mentor an SPA.
Mentoring is a verb. It's a kind of teaching.
