Cybernetics
Hi, thanks for your edits on the Cybernetics article. However I readded the image you removed, because it is definitely related to the subject. I do agree this relation should be expressed better. If you want to replace it with an other picture, thats fine with me. But for now, I think, it's a good pictures, and there is no rule that only the top of the top should be expressed. If you don't agree you could also respond on the cybernetics talk page. Thanks. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 21:48, 19 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Mdd --- i disagree strongly. by your rule, the page could be littered with individuals whose contribution is minimal, which distorts the impression --- and the communication --- that the page provides. do you know stuart? why did you add his picture and not one of a dozen others mentioned on the page, especially those whose contribution to the field is large and undisputed? isn't that more honest to the intention of wikipedia? -paul

Hi, I copied this talk item to the Talk:Cybernetics, see here, where other people can also share there opinion. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 10:03, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

P.S. I explicitely asked you not to remove the image, but to replace it, or to start a discussion on the talk page. Please don't remove the picture again untill some kind of concensus is reached on the talk page. I do agree on some of your concerns and I am trying to improve the situation also, but just removing this isn't the answer here.


 * You had some more personal questions I would like to answer to: I don't know Stuart. Adding the picture is part of my effort to represent more of contemporay Cybernetics and Systems science. I wrote a series of biographical articles, see here, and with adding such an image I try to draw attention to these kind of contemporary scientists. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 12:44, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
