Chatbot Articles
I am in the process of developing the entries - your comments are about stubs I am coming back to in the next few hours/days or so.
 * Sorry if this comes across as pushy or insistent, but my message wasn't about the articles being stubs, but about them not being notable or substantial enough in content to warrant individual articles. I still think merging your articles into one holistic article, such as your list of chatterbots, is worth looking into, as the individual articles you're creating don't appear notable enough. Just trying to help. – ipso 14:32, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

For each bot it requires a description of the development, examples of conversation, overview of interface, and most importantly links and references (ideally to source code or the bot itself). This would not be suitable for a conglomerated single article. Bots detailed are remarkable/notable within the field.


 * Please don't post these articles until you have actually written them. There's no need for placeholder articles. Thanks, NawlinWiki 14:43, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I was editing it at the time, hence the placeholder article. It looks like the concern was raised after only five minutes while I was still reading for content... Since the timescale was so small I submitted rather than previewed (since I am using several different browsers, previewing is unsuitable). If your comment is about the stubs - surely not submitting stubs defeats the purpose of stubs to encourage others to contribute?

Regarding the congolomeration, I would ask you to look at existing chatterbot entries such as those of Racter, ELIZA, Jabberwacky, MegaHal, Ultra Hal, Ultra Hal Assistant, PARRY, Artificial_Linguistic_Internet_Computer_Entity etc. Such articles are unsuitable for combining into one, but there are a sufficiently large number to warrant a list. Of course, detailed articles should mostly be about the more interesting chatterbots. Chatterbots and NPL is a relatively large field, and I was surprised how weak and unstructured Wikipedia's content was for it.


 * You could try to include the chatterbot articles to Category:Chatterbots. And sign you talk messages with ~ - Skysmith 14:05, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
