As far as I can tell this page is an advertisement.99.132.249.24 (talk) 20:40, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Very dense beginning!

FWIW, I found the introduction fairly heavy going, but perhaps this is appropriate for a more formal/theory-based article? Natebailey (talk) 11:12, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Re-wrote Lead

I have rewritten the lead because it contained redundancies, had no citations and presented NLP postulates as matters of fact. The remainder of the article needs attention. AnotherPseudonym (talk) 13:30, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Multiple issues banner

So it seems that User:That_Guy,_From_That_Show! has a problem with the multiple issues banner I added and removed it along with the similar banner I created at the NLP methods article. In defence of my tagging these articles, they have both been edited (mainly by bots) a hand-full of times this year and a hand-full of times last year. None of the problems have gone away and they remain POV-forks for NLPers. That Guy also removed the refimprove tag that has been on the 'representational systems' article since July 2016 without any suggestion that this issue had been improved upon. I plan to reinstate both these banners, but please - convince me otherwise. Famous_dog (c) 11:21, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

That Guy's edit summary in both cases reads "This has been worked on over the years, don't steamroll over the efforts of many people just because you can, if you had legitimate issues, you'd use the talk pages first." I see some evidence that these articles have "been worked on over the years," but I would argue that they have been worked on as a way to get around the increasing scepticism with which NLP concepts are greeted in the main article and therefore constitute a POV-fork. I also don't know how many people I am supposed to be "steamrollering", but these pages have not been edited much in recent years, they have just been left to stagnate by their authors (who have probably given up on Wikipedia). I believe I have "legitimate issues", and I attempted to highlight them with the multiple issues banners. Thoughts? Famous_dog (c) 11:34, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

The problem with simply adding banners is that other editors don't know where the issues are or how to resolve them. It would be helpful if you could be more specific. I would suggest that you pick one issue at a time... spell out how you think the issue can be resolved and the changes you would like to see... and (once resolved) move on to the next issue. It will take more time, but ultimately it will be more productive.

For example... you complain that the article is POV... could you be more specific, and give us some examples of statements you consider non-neutral? Blueboar (talk) 12:38, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Famousdog, you need to understand that when you find an article that you object to you can't just throw a bunch of banners on it. This is doubly true when it is regarding articles where issues with them have been worked out after large amounts of time have been put into making sure the edits have followed wikipedia guidelines.

If you have issues beyond "i don't like the content", then list them and we can have a productive discussion about each individual thing you feel is at issue one by one.

What's important here is that we improve articles, not just throw bumper stickers on them in a spam-like manner.
