Quality

Hi, So far, all the contributions I've seen were of horribly low quality. Most were reverted quickly by one of the other contributors to the article. Sorry, this really doesn't work out: you encourage students to write on a random subject they just know too little of to write reasonably about. I'm not sure what is worse: the low-quality contributions to existing articles, or articles such as Artificial intelligence in data mining that are just bullshit (but at least don't interfere with the work of others).

It will take quite some effort to clean up this mess afterwards. Please discourage your students from editing outside their User: namespace... --178.2.61.184 (talk) 06:28, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
