Talk:Network

message: I removed some odd text I found at the beginning of the article because it didn't make sense. The text I removed is below:
Preparation a special ability in a range of place and time, is called Network .In better condition Preparation a special ability in everywhere and every time, is called Network and its ideals:
Preparation " everything " in " everywhere " and " every time ", is called Network .

thread_title: Odd Text

message: :...a graph of interconnected nodes which form some sort of system. Many aspects of reality have a network structure thus identifying it as a basic process. Some characteristics of a network are evolutionary growth; some nodes called hubs have many more connections to other nodes; and increased dependence on the integrity of hubs as compared to other nodes for the robustness of the network.
Removed. This may be useful information, but I think it might be best located in a more specific article. In any case, I don't know how to make it fit in with the current revision. --Ryguasu 17:04 Dec 3, 2002 (UTC)
:* In a hidden edit at 09:45, 16 January 2006  changed Ryguasu's signed account of what they moved, thereby falsifying the record of this discussion. Mushroom summarized "Removed link to disambiguation page" and replaced the lk to Hubs (now -- at least -- a lk to the Dab Hub) and replaced it with the four letters "hubs". I have restored it.--Jerzy•t 00:14, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Graph theory

message: <S>Do all of the books in "Further reading" really belong in this disambiguation page, or should some of them be moved to the linked-to articles on the specific subject?  In particular, I am looking at the "Consumer studies" references, which sound like they belong somewhere under the "Human socialization" section.

thread_title: Further reading

message: I do very much disagree with the content of this page under the term "Network". There is no formal definition and only examples are given. Examples are very necessary for a term like this, but only after a proper definition. It is not correct to define something in an encyclopedia by putting a bunch of examples. This page should:
*1) Give a formal definition of what a network is, where the unavoidable link to "Graph" and "Graph Theory" is to be done. Let's say that mathematically speaking a network is a graph where some property is flowing. Thus network := Graph G(V,m) : exists a flow.
*2) It has to be mentioned how due to language abuse the word "network" has become the standard one to refer about "graphs". An abuse strongly motivated by the re-born of the graph theoretical field in the recent years under the name of "Complex Networks"
*3) Due to the vast number of examples that can be given (and have to be given) further classification is strongly recommended and examples organized into: Social networks, technological networks, biological networks, transportation networks ... and within each section include the proper specific examples. Besides, once this page is properly adapted, I would recommend to further introduce independent entries called: Technological networks, biological networks ... and explain the characteristics of each type of networks in their own entry.
*4) References should be divided into two parts: one comprising the most influecial papers and reviews for the field, and two, general public books.
So if you do agree with my recomendations and are interested in reshaping this page in collaboration, just visit my webpage and contact me:

* At  21:54, 6 September 2007  removed the preceding contribution (and a section of another, a minute later), without summary. The request to discuss how to proceed with WP editing on a privately controlled site is, i think, offensive to our editing-collaboration model and likely if successful to be treated at as meat puppetry (and i have thus struck the URL thru), but the comments deserve better than undiscussed removal, and i have restored them.--Jerzy•t 00:14 & 04:40, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Large Renovation Required 

message: It seems to me use of Network as a verb and hence Networking (etc.)have been ignored here.
Around 1974 I and others renamed the UK Communes Movement group, "Communes Network," which published a monthly newsletter. The name had many, issue-by-issue variations - Communes Netrock, Netwrok, Dontwork, etc. These names spawned many gerunds/ nouns - Networking, NotWorking, Netrockers, Netwrokers. I claim networking as my creation!
Subsequently, "networking" has now become widely used to mean (within the 'Social' definition) contacting friends and others - and their contact - to achieve some business or social aim.

thread_title:  Networking 

message: I have removed most of the links from this page in a major cleanup, so I am providing an explanation.  As a dab page, this page is not supposed to contain an entry for every article with the work "network" in the title, nor can we include every type of network there is (a quick WP search will show hundreds).  This page should contain links to topics which are generally known simply as "network".  I have moved some of the most common types of networks to a See also section, which I think is more appropriate. SlackerMom (talk) 16:33, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, Jerzy.  I was a bit afraid there would be some negative response to such a big edit, but this page seemed out of control.  I appreciate the support.  There may be some links I raked out that could go back in, but we'll see what kind of complaints we get! SlackerMom (talk) 12:40, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
