thread_title: Note

message: A number of these pages e.g. 
OAIS,
Digital asset,
OpenImaging,
Representation Information,
Digital curation,
Digital object
seemed to have been created by new editors who then seem to have got bored and moved on to other (non-wikipedia) things e.g. 
Contributions/Mpennock,
Contributions/Dgiaretta,
Contributions/TBarregren,
Contributions/Simonpockley,
Contributions/Jmaferreira. (At about the same time, maybe it was part of a school project?) In any case, many of the pages have received few edits, and with the loss of their original editors I'm not sure what will become of them. Unless we can find an expert to merge these pages into something useable perhaps it would be better just to delete them? Ewlyahoocom 14:36, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge or delete?

message: I (Contributions/Jmaferreira) have created the Digital object entry which is now missing from the wikipedia.
BTW, I haven't move on... I just stood still to see how things evolved, but now it seems imperative for me to interfere. 
Shall I recreate the "Digital Object" entry or is the general opinion that it should be dropped?
I would personally like to see it back. --Fmccown 19:27, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: digital object was deleted 17 sept after having been marked with copyright violations since july.   since no one responded in that time, it was deleted.  to me, the lack of response is adequate reason to not recreate the page at this time.--Buridan 11:36, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

message: This article needs information on the impact of intellectual property laws and copy protection on digital preservation. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 04:06, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure if it's necessary to include info on intellectual property in this article or not.  I'm definitely leaning towards not.  What is clear is that the notice at the top of the article ("This article is missing information about the impact of intellectual property laws and copy protection measures") is old, and the issue is not drawing any interest.  I'm removing the template from the article as it's unnecessary and intrusive.  This section on the talk page is more than enough. --Keithonearth (talk) 02:13, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  FYI: a project of a site to share & collect our experience on digital preservation & curation 

message: The previous first two paragraphs said essentially the same thing in different words, which made the intro unclear.  I would argue that continued consolidation in the intro is needed, with some of the information to be moved into a section in the article. --TheAmazing0and1 (talk) 15:38, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Introduction 

message: Of course this is related to conservation-restoration.  It is an act of preservation.  How could one possible argue with this?--RichardMcCoy (talk) 17:53, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  conservation-restoration 

message: Beginning in 2012, the National Digital Stewardship Alliance's Working Group on Standards and Practices initiated a project to improve Wikipedia's Digital Preservation article as well as related articles.  Beyond revising the substance of these articles, one of the key goals of this initiative is to incorporate a comprehensive set of links to published standards and documentation for best practices in the area of digital preservation.   
To support this effort, the Working Group has created a new Wiki:Project for Digital Preservation, where information and progress reports are being posted. 
The current Digital Preservation article (as of 8/2012) is in need of significant reorganization and revision.  Because this is such a large task, we have drafted a proposed outline for the revised article as a Google document and made it available for others to view and comment on at: Digital Preservation -- Libraries Perspective -- Outline.  New and revised sections will be inserted into the current article to the extent feasible.  
Members of the Working Group and others who may be interested will draft and circulate proposed revisions.  These are currently being posted in advance of publishing to Wikipedia here: Digital Preservation -- Libraries Perspective -- Draft in Process
Comments and discussion are encouraged on this Talk page.--Davissp (talk) 20:49, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Reorganization and Revision of Digital Preservation Article

message: I happened to stumble across an issue with the very first line of this article. The opening sentence states the definition of digital preservation as "the series of managed activities necessary to ensure continued access to digital materials for as long as necessary," but that definition is taken word-for-word from an outside source. Now, that source is cited as Footnote 1, but the line is not written in quotations or with any special formatting elements to show the direct, verbatim quote as per WP:QUOTE. As this page is the main one for a WikiProject, I thought I would bring this to your attention so that the project may decide whether adding the quotes would be best or if paraphrasing might work better. Also, if someone has the time, it may be necessary to ensure that there are not other similar issues throughout the article. Unfortunately, I do not have the time to do this myself at the moment. AngelKelley (talk) 16:56, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I've reformatted that line as a clear quote, as per WP:QUOTE. It would perhaps be better as a paraphrase, but at least the quotation is clear now.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by AndrewNJackson (talk • contribs) 11:00, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

What about referencing the NISO framework?
Also links to academic journals would help?

message: On Wikipedia:WikiProject Collections Care the link to this project is labeled with the text 
:WikiProject Digitial Preseravation
Oh really? That's some digital text that should not be preserved! Although I would be happy to be bold and fix it there, I can't untangle the transclusion and template structure of the page, at least while using my mobile phone as I am this moment.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Currently in the lede it says: "In library and archival science, digital preservation is a formal endeavor to ensure that digital information of continuing value remains accessible and usable [...] The goal of digital preservation is the accurate rendering of authenticated content over time."
But is this really the entire scope of digital preservation?
-> Isn't digital preservation also about preserving the digital in the sense of trying to preserve digital content that is considered preserve-worthy (e.g. all the user-generated content of the World Wide Web - a goal of the Internet Archive); not just about keeping whatever is preserved usable & accessible.
-> And isn't it also about trying to preserve what's considered preserve-worthy in the digital world - such as the beauty and richness of nature on Earth (via digital media; see ARKive) or (as of before the digitalization) physical-only literature.
If this is the case please update the lede asap. If these are distinct conceptions I'd like to know if dedicated article/s exist (and in this case there should be "For x see y" or "Not to be confused with..." notes on top of the article).

message: I'm thinking of editing the TRAC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trustworthy_Repositories_Audit_%26_Certificationarticle, and was wondering if there might be room for an elaboration of the notion of trusted digital repositories and expansion of info on trustworthiness standards here on the digital preservation page. On the other hand, could the concept use its own separate article? Smille16umd (talk) 16:15, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
