Talk:Organization

message: The paragraphs below were part of a section on organizational structure, but had been grafted into the section in a way that made it inconsistent with the topic sentence for the section. I'm putting them here till I figure out how to best reintegrate them into the article. Ms. Citizen (talk) 19:54, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Organizing subsections

message: Hi - I am interested the (sociological) process through which collaborative work is generated, such as on Wikipedia articles. I noticed at the end of this article a section eliciting reader feedback / ratings. Can you please help me understand where that box came from, whether there are other articles using this template, and whether anyone is collecting rating data by article? Thank you!

thread_title:  Your Feedback / Ratings 

message: A brief scan of this article reveals it to be nowhere near NPOV -- a great example: "Don't bet on it in the long term. Success outgrows the ability of the genius. There just get to be too many special cases."  'Don't bet on it?' This needs to be changed, heavily. And what's with all the exclaimation marks?

message: At 3 November, Jachin copied the article organization to organisation and made the former into a redirect, but forgot to also move the talk page. Please do not move an article without also moving its talk page! --Kernigh 20:30, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Organization versus organisation 

message: I propose that the page be changed do a dual title "organisation - organization" or "organization - organisation"
Just because 3/4 of articles found in a search engine use "organization" is no justification to abandon the use of "organisation". It would be like saying we should pretend African Americans do not exist because 85% of Americans do not identify as such. 
One can point out that the Commonwealth has 600 million people in it (1.7 billion if we include india) almost twice that of the United States. This is true even if we were to include Canada and some other members that use both spellings as part of the U.S.
The English language has one of the most diverse histories of any language in the world. Let's respect that, and the right to self-determination and international use of this language.

replies: text: While I appreciate the spirit of your proposal, the best way forward is with the status quo. Organizations from the UK or elsewhere that use the "ise' version of the word in their title should retain that in their articles and title of the pages, but all other categories and pages should reflect the international (not american) standard. Please visit the WikiProject, where we are moving towards taking a lot of action in this field. Oldsoul 15:55, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Organisation vs. Organization (a proposal) 

message: Qualified No. This particular article deals with human organizations.  Organizing deals will just about anything that isn't entropic - both animate and inanimate.  However, it might not be a bad idea to 
* rename organized to organization (titles should normally be nouns, yes?)
* rename this topic to organization (business) or organization (social)
* add see also/disambiguation links in the organizing-->organization topic

thread_title:  I love that... 

message: Would it be appropriate to add a section comparable to the "In Sociology" sections that delves into organizations in psychological thought? Notwithstanding that there is already an article on Industrial and Organizational Psychology. We wouldn't want to rehash everything in the aforementioned article...

thread_title: Organizations in Psychology

message: Among the introductory paragraph, the following sentence appears: "It is the collection of organs of scientific methods and artifacts of the al mamater The word is derived from the Greek word organon, itself derived from the better-known word ergon which means "organ" – a compartment for a particular task." Could someone explain this to me? I think there are some spelling errors and shouldn't there be a full stop somewhere? ~thelittlegumnut [talk] 08:09, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spelling and punctuation errors, spam, or is it just me? 

message: "An organization or organisation (see spelling differences) is an entity comprising multiple people, such as an institution or an association, that has a collective goal and is linked to an external environment[citation needed]." What is  an external environment? Not clear, need to fix. Gordon410 (talk) 16:47, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lead revison 

message: I just ran Earwig's Copyvio Detector on this article and the results are not good. Either somebody is copying this article or this article is copying somebody else. The former would be OK (subject to licensing issues) but the latter would be a big problem. If we are using other people's copyrighted material without explicit permission then that is very bad indeed and has to stop.
Specifically, the report says that there is a 67.4% confidence that we could be violating the copyright of http://publicadministrationtheone.blogspot.com/2012/07/organisations-theories-systems.html
Now that may not look too bad at a first glance because it has a Creative Commons licence on it but it is one of the CC types that is not compatible with what we are doing here (CC BY-NC-ND 3.0). It does not permit distribution of derivative works, which is exactly what we are doing if we copy parts of it and modify or incorporate them into our articles. Also it only permits non-commercial use and, while Wikipedia is not itself commercial, Wikipedia content is licensed to permit commercial reuse (CC BY-SA 3.0), subject to some rules on attribution and licensing of derivatives, so we can't incorporate content that does not allow us to do that.
Full results of the Copyvio Detector are here. (This link will recalculate a new score if the article is changed.)

replies: text: I think it's the other way around. I took a sample text string from the copyvio detector, " goals are subdivided and reflected" and found it on this revision from 2011. If the blog post is from 2012, it seems like they just plagiarized Wikipedia. Nothing to do from our end. AlexEng(TALK) 22:07, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
