Talk:Internet bottleneck

Introduction

This page is being created for the Wikipedia Education Program. I still need to add quite a few citations and some more work needs to be done, but I thought this may be ready to move to the main space. I look forward to any feedback the community has to offer. Thanks! Brandonbrooks1 (talk) 19:42, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Questions

I wondered if you posted the message on the top of the article or if it was posted automatically because of the open citations (e.g.) posted by a bot. I like what you have posted so far, it seems very balanced and brings out a lot of issues. Would it be possible to talk more about the technical aspects of bottlenecks? I'm not sure where to get the data, but how much data can go through a specific area before it slows down? Has the industry given any numbers on the amount of investment it would take to eliminate/reduce bottlenecks? With the constantly increasing use of mobile data and improvement in HD and streaming data (e.g. new iPad with HD display) doesn't this continue to cause customers to want to use more data, therefore, a never ending cycle of increasing capacity and increasing demand?

Good article, I enjoyed reading it. --NetworkedTogether (talk) 01:16, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Hey MathewTownsend. I'm not sure what you mean about adding a worldview to the article. Does that mean making the article from a U.S. centric point of view? A disclosure at the top or bottom of the article explaining the the frame of reference is for the article? Or something else? Thanks Brandonbrooks1 (talk) 19:18, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Edits

The recent edit made by an anonymous user was made by me, but I'm not sure how to fix it... Brandonbrooks1 (talk) 16:32, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Impact of recent student edits

This article has recently been edited by students as part of their course work for a university course. As part of the quality metrics for the education program, we would like to determine what level of burden is placed on Wikipedia's editors by student coursework.

If you are an editor of this article who spent time correcting edits to it made by the students, please tell us how much time you spent on cleaning up the article. Please note that we are asking you to estimate only the negative effects of the students' work. If the students added good material but you spent time formatting it or making it conform to the manual of style, or copyediting it, then the material added was still a net benefit, and the work you did improved it further. If on the other hand the students added material that had to be removed, or removed good material which you had to replace, please let us know how much time you had to spend making those corrections. This includes time you may have spent posting to the students' talk pages, or to Wikipedia noticeboards, or working with them on IRC, or any other time you spent which was required to fix problems created by the students' edits. Any work you did as a Wikipedia Ambassador for that student's class should not be counted.

Please rate the amount of time spent as follows:

• 0 -No unproductive work to clean up
• 1 - A few minutes of work needed
• 2 - Between a few minutes and half an hour of work needed
• 3 - Half an hour to an hour of work needed
• 4 - More than an hour of work needed

Please also add any comments you feel may be helpful. We welcome ratings from multiple editors on the same article. Add your input here. Thanks! -- LiAnna Davis (WMF) (talk) 20:23, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
