Talk:Accreditation/Archives/2015

Image
I am not convinced that the cartoon-like image (Image:Accreditation.jpg) recently added to this article adds value to the article. The principal problem is that the meaning of the image is obscure. It is not clear how the standing man saying "It suits my needs" is relevant to "accreditation." I cannot even tell if he is a "Requester/User" or an "Accreditation Agent." Moreover, many of the types of "accreditation" listed in the article do not involve an explicitly identifiable "requester/user." (For example, the customers for educational accreditation and healthcare accreditation are diffuse, while diplomatic accreditation does not involve meeting the needs of a customer/requester, but rather communicating information in a manner that is certified to be accurate.)

Can the image be captioned to explain its meaning? If not, I think it detracts from the article, rather than enhancing it. --Orlady 03:17, 15 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I added some text with the image. This should explain both its intention and its origin. - Mdd 10:51, 15 October 2007 (UTC)


 * The text has far greater value than just the support of the image. I suggest creating a section on accreditation in Systems Engineering.

 * Yes it is completely off-topic and should be somewhere else. I removed it. Bhny (talk) 19:45, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
