[edit] Edit summary
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

[edit] Diktyology
I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Diktyology, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Importance). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Diktyology. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 06:13, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
- The term diktyology is an alternative denomination of network theory that covers a broader definitorial space. The world is taken from the french and german nouns "Diktyologie" for the same concept. Due to the broader meaning of the word in the context of cybernetics and systems science I suggest keeping this article. --Jwdietrich2 16:59, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your response. If this is all that can be said about diktyology, then it seems to me that the article is more fit for a dictionary than an encyclopaedia. In our case, this would mean that it has to be moved from Wikipedia to Wiktionary [1]. But there may well be scope to expand the article. Anyway, I'd like to ask you whether you could include a reference in which the word is used, preferably a publication which has undergone peer review. As a mathematician, I am especially interested in whether the term is indeed used in mathematics, as the article seems to claim. I get the distinct impression that it is used far less than "network theory". -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 04:17, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- Indeed, that may be the case. The term "diktyology" may be rarely used in Englisch. --Jwdietrich2 19:21, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
