Articles whose authors need a lesson in the English language[edit]
- or, How I learned to stop worrying and love clarity
This is a page for myself, to note articles I've run across where they seem written without regard for explaining the article's subject to any non-expert. Ideally I'd get around to fixing them.
- Plus Routing and Router (computing). In none of those articles can you find an explanation for how modern internet routing works. Maybe it requires a new article? I'm not sure where it fits. Maybe routing table? It seems it should be in BGP but unfortunately BGP is mostly about the protocol for setting up routing tables, not how they're used. I need to find out more, though, about the hierarchy of IP addresses and whether it actually works like I think (with a list of subnets accessible via each interface).
- I read this just before reaching this chapter in my Java education and found it cryptic at best. I.e. I knew enough about Java, and was only lacking knowledge of this specific thing. The ideal situation in which a Wikipedia article would be useful, right? But I still found it completely unhelpful. Then I read the chapter in the book and understood it immediately.
- Note: I added a sentence to the lead that makes it a little clearer. Further edits could certainly be used.
- A pretty prime example. It could really stand to explain what the H it is in its lead. Related to Hardware description language.
