Talk:Wootton Bridge/Archive 1

message: This seems pretty obvious but I thought it might be worth discussing. 
Wootton is the common name, and Wootton Bridge is the formal name, but there is nothing in either article that could not sensibly appear in the other. As Wootton Bridge is a unique name, and there are quite a few other Woottons elsewhere, Wootton Bridge seems the sensible choice to be the main article, and a redirect can remain at Wootton, Isle of Wight.

message: It look strangely familiar to a version of an encyclopedia from Microsoft that I've used before.  Here are some comment on the program as of 24 February 2008 
; Interface
* Lack of accessibility (lack of a text copying functions in some areas)
* Some icons are hidden while maximized in a 800x600 screen
* Would like a dark color scheme
* Missing a history list
* Extra mouse button and rocker gesture support
* Scrolling shouldn't change the current search results since the focus stays in the Find box
;Search
* The WikiMedia search isn't very good
* Maybe use using Google?  It at least has spell checker.
* Kinda miss the the side search pannel
* Would be nice if the search & highlight was integrated in the search
;Other
* Would be nice to have a category explorer where I could transverse down the classical category system
* Maybe include the Gutenberg Encyclopedia somehow
* Doesn't include WP:WikiMiniAtlas (Although looking at it, its still quite a bit ways off from Encarta's atlas)

Talk:Clemencia Rodriguez

message: * Started this entry, soon received notice "that the subject of the article does not satisfy the notability guideline for Biographies." Rewrote text right away to add citations and bring out notability element. I've recently completed a PhD dissertation on this area of communication research, including an extensive literature review and after 5 years of research and dozens of conferences attended, found Rodriguez' importance second only to John Downing's. I've confirmed this with numerous other scholars in the field. Her Fissures is considered one of the 2-4 seminal books that appeared around 2001 which helped spark the current wave of interest in alternative media reasearch, and one of the first to attempt critique and go beyond the simplistic alternative-mainstream dichotomy. Googlescholar does not accurately reflect the amount of research that cites her, as few are available online. 
* I would also point to the discussion around establishing 'importance' of academic researchers, especially the critique that the criteria for 'importance' have traditionally favor old men from first world countries (who tend to quote primarily other white men). If wikipedia is to be more relevant to what is going on in research, we'd better not wait until someone is dead to write about them, and take care not to exclude female researchers.
* Finally, Wikipedia is dreadfully understocked in entries in media and communication reasearch- contrast this with entries in the natural sciences or popular culture. I would recommend approaching the leading associations of researchers in the field, IAMCR, ICA etc. for collaboration.
