Talk:Certified software development professional

ACM involvment
Looks like the ACM is involved too through the "IEEE-CS/ACM Joint Task Force on Software Engineering".

Fair use rationale for Image:CSDP.jpg
Image:CSDP.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Category no longer exists
Category:Software_engineering_professionalism has been merged to Category:Software_engineering per this discussion. Please do not unilaterally act against earlier established consensus. And please explain your point in more detail. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:35, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

In revision 06:53, 25 May 2016 @Ushkin_N has removed the category Software_engineering, which I myself have then advocated for this article. He/she wrote: WP:OVERCAT. This time you are reinstating the category in an equally imperative manner. Is the OVERCAT policy no longer valid? When and who has decided so? I only wish to be sure someone will not remove this general category once more soon with no adequate replacement. Regarding the merger of categories SE and SE_professionalism, with all due respect, without more detailed comments I cannot 'blindly' agree the consensus on this decision was well-informed and representative. SE professionalism is NOT a 'tiny' subcategory, but a separate knowledge area (KA) of the SWEBOKv3 (SE Professional Practices KA, 'SE Professionalism' is a synonim). This KA has a lot of practical importance. Fed256 (talk) 05:37, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
 * So there are actually two issues at stake: 1. we need clarification from User:Ushkin N why they removed Category:Software engineering from the article because that is not clear from their comment; 2. you need to indicate what other Wikipedia articles are about SE professionalism in order to provide evidence that Category:Software engineering professionalism is not a tiny subcategory.

1. I support your reinstatement of the Category:Software_engineering. I hope you are ready to defend this change in the case of future attempts to undo it based on alleged violation of WP:OVERCAT. In fact, the CSDP certification effort, along with SWEBOK and SE2004 curriculum can be regarded as pertaining to the SE discipline as a whole.

2. If necessary, I'll be glad to provide the literature references which demonstrate the importance of the category SE Professionalism in the real world. The number of Wikipedia articles in this category not necessarily reflects this real-world importance, and their number, even if quite small, would be not a reason to prohibit the use of this category in Wikipedia. Thanks. Fed256 (talk) 12:27, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
