Here are my thoughts on your wiki page. I hope these help:

If it's relevant to the theory, lay out the basic assumptions that the theory holds. In addition, describe the framework of the theory and what concepts are necessary. Think in terms of how our text book lays out how the theory works.

Add a section about the history and development of the theory. Was it developed specifically with technology in mind, or does it have earlier origins? I would think that something like a university could count as social information processing. Is that accurate? That could be very interesting to show how SIP differs on and offline.

The "Current State of Knowledge" section is not very useful, in my opinion. I would instead define the various forms of SIP (tagging, wiki's, etc.) and explain how they fit into the theory. That way it becomes more clear why these tools are important in the process.

Something to think about is how you would describe a process like blogging or tagging to someone who has no experience with these concepts. Right now, the article is written from a pretty high level of sophistication. See if you can simplify the ideas to make the article more accessible as a whole.

Social information processing theory page feedback
Roz,

Like I mentioned in class last week, it might be a good idea to link to other wikipedia articles, for instance:


 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpersonal_communication
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpersonal_relationship
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonverbal_communication
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Individuation
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-mediated_communication
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_date

are just a few that jumped out at me, but there are plenty of opportunities.

It might also be worthwhile to create a link to a Joseph Walther page, even though it doesn't exist yet, to serve as an impetus for future editors.

While I realize the example was there before you started, it could use a better transition, and if any of your sources also use or mention this as an example it would be helpful to provide a reference for it.

Speedy deletion nomination of Joseph Walther


A tag has been placed on Joseph Walther requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. ~ Excesses ~ (talk) 19:06, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Joseph Walther


Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Joseph Walther. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Social information processing theory. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Social information processing theory - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. trunks_ishida (talk) 19:16, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Joseph Walther


The article Joseph Walther has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Does not meet WP:ACADEMIC

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

It looks like someone did come along and make a case for this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Joseph_Walther

The Walther incident
Yeah... it's funny how quickly that whole thing unfolded. You've definitely seen a different side of Wikipedia!

 * I particularly like how it resulted in three messages on your talk page. Just one would have been sufficient. Hopefully we won't have a repeat of this ordeal this semester! I wanted to review what happened, in case you're wondering why I'm poking around. MyNameWasTaken (talk) 20:11, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia Assignment
Hey there! I just wanted to check in and see how things were going with your Wikipedia project. I noticed that you've only made a few small changes to the Presence (telepresence) article, but not really any major revisions. I didn't see anything in your sandbox either, although I know you might have been working in a different space that I can't immediately see. Anyways, I know the midterm is due in a couple weeks and just wanted to make sure you were on track and had everything you needed to get this done! Let me know if I can help with anything, including technical issues or just some general review/feedback about what you're working on. MyNameWasTaken (talk) 23:08, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Presence

Hi! I noticed that many of the cites within the Presence page don't link down to the references and there are few connections to other pages within Wikipedia. That might be a place to start. Also, you can connect to examples on additional pages in addition to developing the theory. Thanks! Turnj (talk) 12:22, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
