Talk:Information system

message: I'd like to suggest taking colleges and universities that offer IS undergrad and postgrad courses, and splitting it off as a separate list page - while I think it is useful, it should either be a (very) select list (in which case the criteria for inclusion needs to be defined) or a fully inclusive one - and if it is the latter it will rapidly get to big for this page.

replies: text: I just noticed I totally agree with this proposal, see Section "Study of information systems" removed . -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 11:15, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I was a tad wary of doing it before, but after seeing an AfD on a similar list, and your example, it looks like it is viable after all. The example you gave had them broken into university, college, department and degrees offered. I presume "college" in this case is the equivalent to faculty. That seems like a reasonable set of data, however would it make sense to include country, and perhaps not so clearly distinguish between US and the rest of the world? Perhaps group by world region (North/South America, Europe, etc)? - Bilby (talk) 12:51, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

text: You are right that these lists can run into trouble. I have created some of these lists in the field of systems science last year and run into some trouble myselve. But for now, I am not so sure about the need for this kind of lists myselve any more. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 21:16, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Study of information systems 

message: It seems to me that this article mostly consists of a disambiguation section followed by what seems to be a description of what is claimed to be an academic field that overlaps very closely with management information systems.
Shouldn't the description of what is claimed to be an academic field that overlaps very closely with management information systems be merged into  management information system and this page converted to purely a disambiguation page?
Alternatively, if there exists a concept "information systems" which is standardised among management information system people and is sufficiently distinct from management information system, then probably a page like information systems (management) should be created independently of the two existing pages, based on the content beyond the disambiguation list here.

replies: text: Good point, there are blurry lines between MIS and IS. Though IS is now being pulled into other departments (political science, public policy, etc.) the origins flow from MIS and CS. Maybe a history section would make this clearer. 96.255.241.243 (talk) 23:29, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Disambiguation mixed with MIS vs IS confusion? 

message: I removed the section "Study of information systems". That section was showing the temporary situation of the current studies in information systems world wide. 
Such a subject doesn't fit in a regular Wikipedia article. I do think that section could be developed into a list like the List of systems engineering at universities. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 11:09, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Section "Study of information systems" removed 

message: A new section "Information systems research" has been added, which hopefully can be a replacement for the previous "Study" section. The reference to Ciborra has been merged into this new section. Good call re. the previous section not being acceptable. I plan on coming back to the article from time to time for improvements.--Flavonoid (talk) 02:52, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Information systems research 

message: Pfuchs - With all due respect I agree with Nurg in the discussion page of Information System. What was there is not a definition, nor is it "widely" accepted.  Just because something is source-able and true doesn't mean it is suited to task. What I put there was a definition.  Now we are just left with a "metaphor".  Rather than get in a reversion war, I will give you sometime to respond. Tee Owe (talk) 22:36, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The definition of an information system belongs in the Information System article, not here. As far as this article not having a definition, I have tagged and attempted to explain that what is at the beginning of this article is not an acceptable definition, per Wikipedia MOS.  Until a certain contributor respects the MOS, then this will continue to be a problem.  Tee Owe (talk) 21:43, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Definition 

message: Considering a second paragraph after the opening; I would like to propose the following:
::The history of information systems coincides with the history of computer science that began long before the modern discipline of computer science emerged in the twentieth century, and was hinted at in the centuries prior.History of Computer Science  Regarding the circulation of information and ideas, numerous legacy information systems still exist today that are continuously updated to ensure data integrity, to promote user privacy, and to improve the efficiency of the entire process.  In general, information systems are focused upon processing information within organizations, especially within business enterprises, and sharing the benefits with modern society... "Scoping the Discipline of Information Systems"
Also, many more sources can be cited for the above passage...  Any ideas? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pfuchs722 (talk • contribs) 17:49, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Considering the Next Introductory Paragraph

message: I just reverted some changes from GrouchoBot (for nl and de), and I'm afraid a lot of other language links are wrong too. This page is about the discipline, and not about "information system". Does somebody know how to stop GrouchoBot from reverting this, and to get the other links corrected too?

thread_title:  Copyright problem removed 

message: I hope we can all agree that if we don't yet have a separate article for the study of information systems, the only article on both that topic and the focus of that study should be first and mostly about the systems, not the academic study of them (just like in the article on information technology and probably all other similar technology subjects). So if we can agree that Wikipedia needs an article on the systems more than on the study of them (on which a new, separate article can be made later), the current article should talk first (and mostly) about the systems. --Espoo (talk) 12:53, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
