[edit] Category:Articles with example pidgincode

Hello, and also a warm welcome from me. I saw that you created Category:Articles with example pidgincode. Could you please explain me why you did this? I can't see at the moment why it would be useful to categorize all articles with pidgin code together. Thanks in advance for your reply. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 02:26, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

I nominated it for deletion, at Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 October_17#Category:Articles with example pidgincode. Wonder if you could comment there. Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 02:33, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanx for the warm welcome. I created the category becuase I need it, and beleive others also do. When I have written academic publications with pidgin code (mathematical style pseudo code), I have often looked for good examples on formatting. Pidgin code is much more compact and less informal than conventional pseudo code, and is ideal for describing algorithms. There are 16 other sub categories of Category:Articles_with_example_code, including Category:Articles with example pseudocode, so why not this one?
Do you suggest that the name should be changed to Articles with mathematical style pseudo code? Mange01 11:44, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

If you have the time, you could go back and re-tag those articles with the "Articles with example code" category. It'd at least give you (and others) a central place to find them. Thanks, Lunch 20:41, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your concern. I have solved it by linking to those articles from the pseudo code article. Kindly, Mange01 15:53, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Renaming pages and fixing redirects

If you rename a page, please find all the pages that point to the newly-created redirect page for the old name (go to the old name, which will take you to the new name; click on the old name in the "Redirected from" item at the top of the page, which takes you to the redirect page; click on "What links here" in the "toolbox" section on the left margin, which takes you to a page showing all the pages that link to the redirect page), and then fix all the links that are from "redirect pages" to redirect to the new name. Wikipedia doesn't do more than one level of redirection, so if, for example, you go to CIFS, it doesn't take you to the Server message block page, it takes you to the "Server Message Block" redirect page.

BTW, the Wikipedia conventions on capitalization in titles say "Do not capitalize second and subsequent words unless the title is a proper noun (such as a name) or is otherwise almost always capitalized" (emphasis mine), so "Server Message Block" would be considered OK as a title if it's usually referred to, when spelled out, as "Server Message Block" (see, for example, the Transmission Control Protocol page).

[edit] TCP/IP model vs. DoD model

Then perhaps the DoD model page should be renamed to TCP/IP model, as that page should discuss the model rather than the protocol suite. A direct rename isn't possible, as there's already a TCP/IP model page; I'll request that the move be done by an administrator. (And, no, I'm not happy about of much of what the DoD's done since its formation, either.) Guy Harris 08:37, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

 :)
Good idea. "TCP/IP reference model" could be an alternative name, or it should at least be redirected to the TCP/IP model page.
I added the template:IPstack template to the DoD model page. The template should be modified to include the five layers. And the text should emphasize the five layer model over the old four layer one. Mange01 09:02, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps it's too late to stop the momentum, but there is no IETF document that specifies a "reference model." Reference model is essentially an OSI concept that was never used in the IETF philosophy, articulated by Dave Clark, of "We don't believe in kings, presidents, or voting. We believe in rough consensus and running code."
Too many years of my life was spent working with ISO/ITU formalism and lack of results. I have spent enough years as an IETF participant to accept that a protocol reference model is of use only as an introductory learning aid, certainly not a constraint on protocol architecture. Ironically, those who insist on the value of the OSI Reference Model seem to assume that it was frozen in the main ISO 7498 document, not even in the annexes to it, and certainly not the later refinements such as the Internal Organization of the Network Layer, OSI Routeing Framework, and other documents that actually made it realistic.

[edit] Category: Physical layer protocols

I have reverted one of your additions (in ISDN) of the Physical layer protocol category tag, before I noticed that you have made this change in a number of other articles. Instead of reverting those as well I thought I'd come and talk to you first. I explained my ISDN revert in the comments. You have also tagged Modem as a physical layer protocol. I'm perhaps a nitpicker, but modems aren't protocols, but rather they implement protocols. Secondly, whereas their primary function is to modulate and demodulate (which are indeed layer-1 functions), the vast majority of modems implement higher-layer protocols as well (e.g. layer-2 functions such as framing, flow control, error detection and error correction). I'd be interested in your thoughts. JanCeuleers 13:54, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Thankyou for a good comment! I have answered it in Category_talk:Physical_layer_protocols. Mange01 20:42, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Good job

Hi good work with categories in computer neworks, wireless communication .. :) --- ALM 22:03, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Thankyou ALM for your encouragement! I notice in your contribution list that you are perhaps even more active as wiki editor than I am! Mange01 23:20, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Do not know about this for sure. However, over this weekend, I want to create articles on S-MAC and MACAW, Wireless sensor network and Ad-hoc network MAC protocols. I hope that you would have time to review them when I will be done with them. It is because my English is not good. Should I leave a message after creating them? In real life my supervisor re-write most of my papers :). Thank you. --- ALM 00:07, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
I have added them to my watch list. Looking forward to read them. However, I don't speak native English, so don't trust me too much. Mange01 00:12, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Most of my Swedish friends had better English than me. I had worked six months in Lund University and like Swedish people in general (have good memories). --- ALM 00:36, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Nice to hear! Actually I am responsible for master of science programmes in computer engineering at Mid Sweden University. We have had a quite large group of students from Pakistan the last two years, and I have good experience from working with them. Several of them are better than me on English, and all of them are very polite.

[edit] Disambiguation

Thanx for welcoming me to WikiProject_Telecommunications, but I will not be a major contributor. I am a computer programmer (I wrote 1% of the Cobol 2002 standard). I run the wires and such, but I am no expert in telecommunications. I am working on Disambiguation_pages_with_links and handled the word "propagation". All I did was fix links; I am not doing content.

If you are doing content, let me tell you what you need: Sumbuddy in the telecommunications project should write an article called Signal propagation, and many of the links I just pointed at wave propagation and radio propagation should be redirected thereto. Also, you need to take on the regular task of keeping propagation links clean. -- Randall Bart 00:55, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanx for the suggestion. I dont understand the difference between signal and wave propagation. Why not merge radio/wave propagation into one article, and call it signal propagation? Mange01 01:00, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the invite to WP:TEL! :-) --HappyCamper 16:43, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks.

Thanks for the fix in 4G. I spend more time re-writing than re-searching and I'm glad someone keeps my edits honest :) Cheers. DasBub 21:12, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

And thnx for spending time correcting my spelling mistake... :)

[edit] Equalizer mention in the Fading article

[edit] baseband vs passband

I reverted your changes about baseband versus passband in Shannon–Hartley theorem. Please take another look, and explain on the article talk page if you still think there's a difference in this context. Dicklyon (talk) 15:48, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Thnx for informing me, and for watching over the quality of this article. Mange01 (talk) 22:12, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
