Is a First-Time contributor qualified to write an article from scratch? (Topaz Labs)

[edit]

Hello, my name is Asaf 👋🏻

I'm a 27 y/o male software engineer with 5 years of experience. I've recently become responsible for my company's internal documentation. I want to improve my knowledge and skills in this area, by contributing to Wikipedia & learning its style. I'm curious about how the Wikipedia editors' community views a first-time contributor like me. Am I qualified to write an article from scratch? perhaps I'm expected to clean up existing pages first?

Thanks in advance for any feedback 🙏🏻 Asaf.s.lumen (talk) 15:52, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not a wiki administrator, but I would say read MOS and BEBOLD, then go for it.
If you're nervous then write the article in a SANDBOX and then ask for a review. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 17:33, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We encourage working on existing articles before trying to write a new one but if you want to disregard that advice, you're free to. You need to be WP:AUTOCONFIRMED to create a new article directly in mainspace but anyone can use WP:AFC. ~Kvng (talk) 13:58, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Project scope

[edit]

Are articles covering concepts concerned with software design under the scope of this project? A couple of examples to gauge:

Could the extent be clarified more in the scope somehow? E.g. also including 'software development'? Tule-hog (talk) 01:49, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good question. Based on what I see currently included in the project, I'd say yes to all of that. ~Kvng (talk) 14:41, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The goals seem sufficiently stated ('all software-related articles'), so I have only boldly updated the scope. Might need further clarification. Tule-hog (talk) 17:57, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've expanded a bit further to include applications of various types and called out overlap with other projects for these. ~Kvng (talk) 18:11, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback on software draft

[edit]

Hi! Looking for a bit of help with my Draft:DVT_IDE AfC. The initial submission was declined due to a lack of sufficient reliable secondary sources. With the help of the reviewer, I've added several such sources and rewrote part of the draft to ensure most of the content relies on them. I also completely removed references to the marketplaces where the IDE is available to minimize use of primary sources.

I've resubmitted the modified draft a few hours ago, but figured I'd open a topic here to see what else I might be able to improve, or if there's something specific to Software articles that I might've overlooked.

Thanks! WikiAlexandra (talk) 00:58, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined again. Notability based on the sources you've cited is marginal. There's on paragraph in EDN. The other sources don't appear to be clearly WP:INDEPENDENT. AfC can be tighter than necessary. If you don't have a WP:COI you could consider moving this to mainspace yourself and see if it gets deleted. ~Kvng (talk) 14:48, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hey @Kvng, thanks for the feedback!
I do have a COI (declared on the draft's talk page) which is why I used AfC in the first place, and I think it's only fair to refrain from circumventing it.
With regards to sources, given the niche (software specific for electrical engineering), there's unfortunately a very limited number of online publications that I could use as reference (all the ones I proposed weren't considered reliable enough or were considered primary, so I decided to remove pretty much all of them to be safe). That left me with what I could find in conference proceedings, journals and textbooks which, to be honest, I though they would prove to be perceived as being more of a WP:RS than a web article or news story (especially when compared to what most similar articles have as references). Seems that wasn't the case though.
I'll leave the draft as is for the time being, not sure if I can do anything to improve it right now, I'll keep an eye out for new sources. Thanks again! WikiAlexandra (talk) 16:55, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I did a quick search and didn't come up with anything better. This topic is perhaps just not ripe enough for Wikipedia at this time. ~Kvng (talk) 17:15, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

Hi!

I wonder whether we should move Pygame tutorial links from references into (maybe subsection of?) external links? What do you guys think?

Does artificial intelligence art include music?

[edit]

You are invited to weigh in at Talk:Artificial intelligence art#Removal of section on AI-generated music etc.

The article used to be about art created by or substantially using AI in general. It has a small section other other art-forms like literature and the lead was changed a while ago to say that it's only about visual art (mainly images).

Now there is a dispute whether or not a change of the lead from Artificial intelligence art is visual artwork created or enhanced through the use of artificial intelligence (AI) programs. to Artificial intelligence art is artwork created or enhanced through the use of artificial intelligence (AI) programs.[1] This includes visual art, music,[2][1][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] literature,[11][12] and other creative expressions generated or assisted by AI technologies. and the addition of a section about AI-generated music should stay reverted.

This knowledge influenced the participants' assessments of quality, causing them to shift away from AI-generated compositions and toward those humans created. Knowledge of the artwork's creator was also connected to the participants' assessment of the artwork
