A tag has been placed on Chadwick Wingrave, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. FisherQueen (Talk) 19:03, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Chasm Toolkit
[edit]Please do not delete the speedy deletion notice from pages that you have created. Static Universe 05:45, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- I suggest you contribute to some other articles first to get the feel of things. Also read policies as linked above. Tyrenius 06:55, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
Please see WP:COI. Your text follows. Tyrenius 21:32, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
Chasm is a development method, architecture and library of reusable concepts. Chasm expresses single ideas as self-contained concepts that are successively refined as a developer's understanding of the 3D interaction grows during development. The architecture allows for the arrangement of concepts into a hierarchy of state machines and mediates the interaction between them. A library stores easily reusable concepts for the developer.
Chasm has been successfully used in several projects. Our initial experience indicates that it is superior to other, existing approaches: for instance, we were able to add new flavors to existing interaction techniques with a minimum of effort and without changing any of the underlying application.
Chasm is an instance of Concept-Oriented Design.

Discussion on Concept-Oriented Design

Welcome to Wikipedia
[edit]Honest :). If it means anything to you, let me say that when I first started contributing to Wikipedia I was also completely surprised by how serious the editing process is. The standards that are extensive, well-defined, and in their own way quite strict. I hope you don't take your initial experience too seriously. I think the comments about "Concept-Oriented Design" were a bit harsh and not always on the mark. I didn't realize that you had published in IEEE, and that's a serious achievement. Also the work that you and others are doing with Doug Bowman looks interesting. One suggestion, there's no article on 3D Interfaces and you might be able to make a contribution here. But please understand, I'm not trying to show you how you can write an article that would allow you to talk about Chasm, but showing you where you might be able to make a contribution.

[edit]If an article is to be on wikipedia it needs to follow policies: WP:V, WP:NPOV, WP:NOR, and usually guidelines such as WP:N and WP:RS. If it meets those requirements it will stay.
If an article shouldn't be on wiki, it can be proposed for deletion by following instructions at WP:AFD. If you are considering doing this, I suggest you read through some current/old debates listed there to get the hang of it.
I've moved the article and its history to User:Cwingrav/Concept-Oriented Design, where you can work on it till it's ready to be moved back to article space. It should not be kept in your user space indefinitely. Please study WP:V, WP:NPOV, WP:NOR, WP:N and WP:RS, also the referencing guide below. Ty 01:39, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Guide to referencing

I thought you might find it useful to have some information about references (refs) on wikipedia. These are important to validate your writing and inform the reader. Any editor can remove unreferenced material; and unsubstantiated articles may end up getting deleted, so when you add something to an article, it's highly advisable to also include a reference to say where it came from. Referencing may look daunting, but it's easy enough to do. Here's a guide to getting started. If you need any assistance, let me know. -- Ty 01:43, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
A reference must be accurate, i.e. it must prove the statement in the text. To validate "Mike Brown climbed Everest", it's no good linking to a page about Everest, if Mike Brown isn't mentioned, nor to one on Mike Brown, if it doesn't say that he climbed Everest. You have to link to a source that proves his achievement is true. You must use reliable sources, such as published books, mainstream press, and authorised web sites. Blogs, Myspace, Youtube, fan sites and extreme minority texts are not usually acceptable, nor is original research (e.g. your own unpublished, or self-published, essay or research), or another wikipedia article.
The first thing you have to do is to create a "Notes and references" section (unless it already exists). This goes towards the bottom of the page, below the "See also" section and above the "External links" section. Enter this code:
The next step is to put a reference in the text. Here is the code to do that. It goes at the end of the relevant term, phrase, sentence, or paragraph to which the note refers, and after punctuation such as a full stop, without a space (to prevent separation through line wrap):
Whatever text you put in between these two tags will become visible in the "Notes and references" section as your reference.
Open the edit box for this page, copy the following text (inserting your own text where indicated), paste it at the bottom of the page and save the page:
(End of text to copy and paste.) It should appear like this:
You need to include the information to enable the reader to find your source. For an online newspaper source, it might look like this:
When uploaded, it appears as:
Note the single square brackets around the URL and the article title. The format is:
Make sure there is a space between the URL and the Title. This code results in the URL being hidden and the title showing as a link. Use double apostrophes for the article title (it is quoted text), and two single quote marks either side of the name of the paper (to generate italics). Double square brackets round the name of the paper create an internal link (a wikilink) to the relevant wikipedia article. Apostrophes must go outside the brackets. The date after The Guardian is the date of the newspaper, and the date after "Retrieved on" is the date you accessed the site – useful for searching the web archive in case the link goes dead.
You can use sources which are not online, but which you have found in a library or elsewhere—in which case leave out the information which is not relevant. The newspaper example above would be formatted like this:
When uploaded, it appears as:
Here is an example for a book:
When uploaded, it appears as:
Make sure you put two single quote marks round the title (to generate italics), rather than one double quote mark.
These formats are all acceptable for dates:
You may prefer to use a citation template to compile details of the source. The template goes between the ref tags and you fill out the fields you wish to. Basic templates can be found here: Wikipedia:Template messages/Sources of articles/Citation quick reference
The first time a reference appears in the article, you can give it a simple name in the <ref> code:
The second time you use the same reference in the article, you need only to create a short cut instead of typing it all out again:
You can then use the short cut as many times as you want. Don't forget the /, or it will blank the rest of the article! Some symbols don't work in the ref name, but you'll find out if you use them. You can see multiple use of the same refs in action in the article William Bowyer (artist). There are 3 sources and they are each referenced 3 times. Each statement in the article has a footnote to show what its source is.
The above method is simple and combines references and notes into one section. A refinement is to put the full details of the references in their own section headed "References", while the notes which apply to them appear in a separate section headed "Notes". The notes can be inserted in the main article text in an abbreviated form as seen in Harriet Arbuthnot or in a full form as in Brown Dog affair.

The article Concept-oriented design has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Some guy's PhD dissertation. Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. B (talk) 14:34, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
