UER Forum > Archived Old Forum Issues > UE Encyclopedia problems (Viewed 201 times) Conundrum  Criticón Location: GTA Gender: Male Now Entering The Bling Chamber  |  UE Encyclopedia problems < on 8/24/2004 5:36 PM >   I have noticed two things in the encyclopedia that may need attending if possible. 1. two entries, one works, one doesn't, the second one takes you to a page with both listed, but they link the main UE Encyclopedia page. Found here: http://www.uer.ca/forum_showthreads.asp?fid=1&catid=122&currpage=2 When you click on the first one: http://www.uer.ca/forum_showthread.asp?fid=1&threadid=11734 When you click on the second one: http://www.uer.ca/forum_showthread.asp?fid=1&threadid=11735 2. two entries for the same topic (Geiger Counter) Found here: http://www.uer.ca/forum_showthreads.asp?fid=1&catid=122&currpage=2 Entry 1: http://www.uer.ca/forum_showthread.asp?fid=1&threadid=5983 Entry 2: http://www.uer.ca/forum_showthread.asp?fid=1&threadid=12419 Conundrum [last edit 8/24/2004 5:37 PM by Conundrum - edited 1 times] This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Carpe Noctem Servo   |  Re: UE Encyclopedia problems <Reply # 4 on 8/24/2004 6:04 PM >   Yeah, mainly it's helpful to newbies who probably don't understand what we mean when we say "CSO", or "Snotsicle", or "Point of Entry", or any number of other terms we use or have come up with three-letter acroynms for. UE does have some terms peculiar to it, so for that it's useful. But entries like "Telephoto lens"... I'm not sure that's really specific enough to UE to warrant an entry. Perhaps the Encyclopedia should get ratings like the LDB has. I'll admit I've added one silly entry, but it is a valid term for anyone who attended NEOPEX (and I hope it spreads ).

I've always grumbled about how much nonapplicable and irrelevant or just plain dumb stuff is in there. I've even cleaned out some of it at times, but the authors tend to come back to me via PM, whining and complaining about it. I really think it would be nice to somehow disassociate the encyclopedia star with pure number of entries. A rating or "click to place a vote for deletion" link could help.

Servo   |  Re: UE Encyclopedia problems <Reply # 8 on 8/25/2004 12:08 AM >   Well, I would propose at least two ratings: - Quality and Depth of Information - Specificness/Applicability to UE So while the article for rope might be very complete (and I have no idea if it is, just using it as an example), if it doesn't cover specific applications to UE, then it would get a low score in the second category. Sound like a good idea?
