Talk:User interface engineering

message: Editing note: should this article be merged with Usability engineering ? --
MichaelMcGuffin
Yes, but we should do something about the names one of these days.  Practicioners out there usually place these things in relation to or in context with Information Architecture, Interaction Design (IxD) and User Experience (UE). Take a look at the "honeycomb" Peter Morville proposes for making some sense of Use Experience facets. http://semanticstudios.com/publications/semantics/000029.php

replies: text: I'll be doing a bit of research in the next week to see if there really is much of a difference betweeen UI design and UI engineering and if they each desearve their own sections. If they do, great then I'll just remove the merge suggestion and update IU design with what I know as a UI designer. If they don't then I will probably merge UI engineering into UI design because from my perspective UI design is the more commonly used term. Let me know here if anyone has any disagreements with this. Headlouse 02:09, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  Ugh. After writing a bunch of content for the user interface design page, I just noticed that there is also a interaction design article which is a term also used by some people to describe the same thing. There is a lot of term disagreement here. Thus if there is going to be any merging going on all three of these catagories need to be considered an wieghed for their relative merits and content.

replies: text: Restrain from vandalizing the infobox. There are no 36,000 men dead, wounded and captured in the book by Asprey, there is no source for that number, and that is far not the only casualty figure for the Russians. Your edit is clearly disruptive. Asharidu (talk) 02:33, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: There isn't if you check the page. Asprey cites Napoleon as saying "The enemy has retired... The results will be forty cannon and 12,000 prisoners. Enemy losses are calculated at 10,000 wounded and 4,000 dead". This is not to mention that Asprey says "almost all authorities" are skeptical about the numbers provided by Napoleon (who, as Asprey writes, "would go on claiming victory until blue in the face"); historians do not consider his statements a reliable source for casualties, and that is why you won't find those figures here in the "Result" paragraph. And again, if there are many different casualty estimates, we shouldn't give preference to one of them over the others. Asharidu (talk) 03:07, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Usability engineering

message: Editing note: should this article be merged with User interface engineering ? -- MichaelMcGuffin
* I don't think the two should be merged. My understanding is that usability engineering is broader in scope than just the design of the user interface; it can encompass other aspects such as the metaphorical paradigm of a piece of software, response times and other behavioral aspects, and even the API of a shared programming library. Though, depending on how broad your definition of "user interface" is, all that could be considered part of it. I would happily entertain any proposals to merge this article with Usability, however. -- Wapcaplet 20:28, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)

thread_title: Recognized by engineering authority?

message: Comment about clarity and quality. Several lines of the introduction are run-on sentences and have repetitious words. Also, the first paragraph makes mention of metrics and tools, yet there is a subsection for those examples. You should refrain from specifically stating metric examples in the introduction. The issue at hand is that this introduction doesn't sufficiently explain the difference between Usability Engineering and User Interface Engineering. An opening statement that states that they are methodologies that are used in the ability to create user interfaces.  The introduction in ONE sentence explains this and provides a reference that supports this claim. -- Brc4783 15:10, 29 Oct 2014 (UTC)

::(Modified from my comment at WP:RMT:) Actually, I'm questioning the notability of the subject, as it doesn't appear to have achieved any lasting significance. The few relevant Google results that I found that aren't Wikipedia mirrors are all articles from 2004, and none of them refer to it as "Teacher's Diary". The BBC uses "The secret diary of a Telford school teacher", while The Mirror reprints it as "Secret Diary of a Teacher".

message: I was rerouted here from a page on Economist Brian Arthur. I had been reading about his ideas in a book by Economist Douglass North. I wanted to learn more about increasing returns and its implications. I found quite the opposite. I was back in Econ 101-land. This re-route is a bad sign. If North is a laureate and his ideas, and the ideas of economists who influenced him (which helped him win the prize) are not being represented, then the WikiProject Economics thing is not doing its job, eh? Or is it the job of the project to redirect people away from ideas that clearly show flaws in orthodoxy. If that isn't the purpose, this makes it feel that way. 32TWMV 21:14, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

message: This book cites no sources itself for life span and all the claims just seem incredibly random like somehow the Bracco Italiano has a life of span 12-13 but the Slovakian Wirehaired Pointer has one of 12-14. Some breeds just have simply 'over 10 years' listed and nothing has a life span listed below 10 years.
I fail to see how something obscure like the bull boxer can have it's life span pin pointed to between a year yet the much more popular goldendoodle can only be pinpointed to between 5 years. Traumnovelle (talk) 03:59, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Are you talking about the Dog Encyclopedia by DK Publishing? I'd be curious to hear the back story about this book's publishing, it's not marketed as such but it's really a later edition of Bruce Fogle's New Encyclopedia of the Dog and The Encyclopedia of the Dog. Quite a bit of it is an exact copy.  I wonder why they removed Bruce Fogle's name. I don't have a copy of the last edition, but the earlier editions don't cite sources for their material. Not surprising as their chosen demographic was children. A shame though that we can't see where this info came from. Annwfwn (talk) 13:12, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

I entered the name as I found it. Since I don't know the status of the other spelling, I did not change it. But having both spellings running around is obviously wrong. And just as obviously, we don't want to correct the article title if we don't have to.--192.35.35.34 15:24, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Utumno

message: It is good to note that the primary fortress of Melkor, Utumno, during the Wars of the Powers was not an above ground lair as Angband would later be, but a subterraean pit delved with small maggot holes and fiery gorges.  It was created by Melkor before the flight of the Valar to Valinor while they still lived in Araman; Melkor built it in hopes of seeking out unaided territory for him to ensnare.  At the coming of the Elves to Middle-earth, the newly awoken Quendi noticed, far off, the great war of the powers going on at Utumno's gates.  Therein Melkor fell and was brought bound to Valinor, where he was to wait for three ages before he would be set free.  And so Utumno was the primary northern fortress of Morgoth.  Yet the first dark lord built Angband just in case Utumno was yet again assailed.--69.132.15.97 00:15, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Talk:Jim Duffy

message: Jtdirl has added periods to the end of the disambiguation entries.  When I reverted that change, he or she re-reverted me with the rather cryptic comment:
: rv not at the end of bullet points. But yes where a bullet point is followed be a sentence, which is the case here.
According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages):
:*Entries should nearly always be sentence fragments. When the entry forms a complete sentence, do not include commas or periods at the end of the line.
Either the entry is a sentence fragment, in which case it should not end with a period, or it isn't a sentence fragment, in which case the Manual of Style explicitly tells us not to end it with a period.
I am removing the periods from the items.  I ask Jtdirl to try to explain why he or she believes that a period should end a entry.

replies: text: # A grammatical unit that is syntactically independent and has a subject that is expressed or, as in imperative sentences, understood and a predicate that contains at least one finite verb.
To the best of my knowledge, every English grammarian defines a sentence as having a subject and a predicate, and the predicate must include a verb.  The subject may be implicit, but the predicate must be explicit.  Thus, a “sentence without a verb” is an oxymoron.
Moving on to the substance of your comment, you pull some rules out of thin air, offering no citation, simply claiming that, “It is called English.”  I think I'll stick with a Manual of Style that both of us can read and that, if you think is wrong in some way, you can try to change.

Talk:Anti-Ice

message: I've read the book, and I thought it was made clear that anti-ice is actually a contained form of antimatter. After all, it requires only to be heated and combined with water to produce energy. The reason heating is required is that the ice actually has a magnetic bottle inside it, containing the antimatter. If you're familiar with the sort of terminology you hear so often in sci-fi, it's rather easy to spot the steampunk analogs.
Furthermore, they do not land on the Little Moon to mine ice for reaction mass, they land on the Moon. As in, the one that we know. Perhaps you ought to go back and read the book again.

Talk:Thomas Chippendale

message: Recent edits focusing on the character of his Neoclassical style of furniture have insisted that it was "insipid." That characterization appears to be only the personal opinion of a WP contributor, who so far has offered insufficient evidence to back up that claim. While that opinion might be justified, it remains only a POV that requires confirmation in published sources. A larger issue is that such an opinion overlooks the Younger's work in the Regency style, which remains highly respected.
