Character (computing)

edit

Please do not move long-established articles without discussion in article talk page. Staszek Lem (talk) 07:39, 14 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

I am really sorry about that. I didn't know this is discussed on the talk page. I thought the edits I do are only suggestions that are reviewed by senior reviewers. I read a lot before doing any edits etc. but apparently I missed many things as I am still not experienced in Wikipedia editing.--Alia el Bolock (talk) 18:52, 14 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
This was not discussed in talk page. Please reread my remark. Also, with rare exceptions, article titles must correspond to the most common name of the subject and definitely should not be invented by a Wikipedian. The thing in question is called "character", not "CS Character". Staszek Lem (talk) 20:25, 14 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Conflict of Interest

edit

  Hello, Aliaelbolock. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Character Computing, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Staszek Lem (talk) 07:47, 14 July 2020 (UTC)Reply


Dear, Staszek. Thanks for the comments. I read the guidelines and reported the conflict of interest to avoid any bias. I also tried to ensure that the article is as objective as possible by relying only on the references. I also know that it will undergo more rigorous reviewing when the connection is declared. Please let me know if you feel that I breached that in any way.
Thanks a lot.--Alia el Bolock (talk) 18:49, 14 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
I did not have any particular objections to the article. The only remark is some formatting. In particular, we do not capitalize terms, unless they are proper names. For example, we write "computer science" not "Computer Science", etc. We also do not capitalize all words in section titles. Take a closer look at the article Affective computing and edit your article accordingly. The same with article titles; please consult WP:Article titles for details, in your case, Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization). Staszek Lem (talk) 20:43, 14 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
Also, pleas pay attention to the color of wikilinks. In your article the color of the link "gaming" should be slightly different, meaning the term is ambiguous and it links to the so-called disambiguation page. You have to replace links of this kind with the most appropriate one from the ones in the disambig page (often called "DAB page" in Wikipedia parlance.
