Newly featured birds, planes, and high achievers Message from Monica about Week 2 assignmentHi Prof. I chose to review the page called "Research". Here is my answer to things that distracted me: I don't care for the phrase "stock of knowledge" in the definition of research. I think of a "stock" as something that is be used/consumed and then is depleted. I don't this of bodies of knowledge working that way, so using the word in this way doesn't fit my thinking. I don't like the phrase "several forms of research" followed by a long (more than several!) list of inconsistently selected areas. This sentence could benefit from the using an existing system of classification like Dewey Decimal with its 10 classes. Yes, I did just look this up on Wikipedia! ;) Thanks for listening!

Welcome!I reviewed the Mergers and Acquisitions topic on Wikipedia and I noticed the following: Mergers and Acquisitions: the Wikipedia article uses the words, "From a legal point of view" and did not cite a reference. Mergers and Acquisitions: provides a definition of merger but it did not include a reference. When the article starts to breakdown the different components of Mergers and Acquisitions, I like the first sentence under the header "Acquisition" which also provided a reference.

Monica Wikipedia weeks 5 & 6For week 5, the first article I edited was Research. I added information about social media use for qualitative research. The second article was quantitative research. I added information about some limitations of this method. For week 6, I added a symbol to the quantitative research page. Monica 02:30, 15 October 2017 (UTC) (talk)
Hi Prof. Here are the links to the articles I've edited: Research and Quantitative research. The signature stuff has not worked well for me. Using the four tildes enclosed in the nowiki tag seems to work exactly the same as using just using the four tildes alone, i.e. the signature gets added, but not the link to my (talk) page. What does kind of work is a combo of using the four tildes plus the code for adding a talk link. That's how I'll sign this now. Hope it looks okay? Thanks! Just the four tildes looks like this: Monica 15:25, 16 October 2017 (UTC) The four tildes plus the talk code looks like this: Monica 15:25, 16 October 2017 (UTC) (talk)

Andy's Assignment Week 3As a scientific endeavour, machine learning had been growing (grew) out of the quest for artificial intelligence. Already in the early days of AI had been (as) an academic discipline, some researchers were interested in having machines learn from data. They attempted to approach the problem with various symbolic methods, as well as what were later (then) termed "neural networks"; these were mostly perceptrons and other models that were later found to be reinventions of the generalized linear models of statistics.[1] Probabilistic reasoning was also employed, especially in automated medical diagnosis. However, (an) increasing emphasis on the logical, knowledge-based approach caused a rift between AI and machine learning. Probabilistic systems were plagued by theoretical and practical problems of data acquisition and representation.[2]:488 By 1980, expert systems had come to dominate AI, and statistics was out of favor.[3] Work on symbolic/knowledge-based learning did continue within AI, leading to inductive logic programming, but the more statistical lines (lines) of research was now outside the field of AI proper, in pattern recognition and information retrieval.[2]:708–710; 755 Neural networks research had been abandoned by AI and computer science around the same time. This line, too, was continued outside the AI/CS field, as "connectionism", by researchers from other disciplines including Hopfield, Rumelhart and Hinton. Their main success came in the mid-1980s with the reinvention of backpropagation.Xl2085 (talk) 19:56, 18 October 2017 (UTC) Machine_learning

The link to the article Technology strategy Week 2 Poorva: Notes on the articleThe Article on NYC Emergency Management does not seem to have a robust introduction. However, it is comprehensive in its overview of the OEM, and includes recent updates like the location change. There seems to be a neutral tone to this article, and the links are up to date and seem to have more connected citations, allowing the reader to explore this topic further if needed. The references section is also robust and well organized. However, would have liked to see more information on the OEM in connection the events of 9/11. Pn612 (talk) 17:34, 19 October 2017 (UTC) Week 3 Poorva: Edits to the articleAdded more information on the location of the OEM during 9/11, and cited the reference. Changed a spelling error - attacks was misspelled as attachs Pn612 (talk) 17:52, 19 October 2017 (UTC) Week 4 Poorva: Further edits with citationAdded more information about the OEM command center during 9/11 attacks, included citations. Because I was so interested in the relation of the former OEM and the role it played during the attacks, I wanted to make this section more robust so I decided to research more about the make shift command center and what changes have been made to it since then. It was an interesting find, because I was unaware that a bus had been used and that both, the former President George W. Bush and Mayor of New York City Rudy Guiliani had ridden this bus. Pn612 (talk) 18:09, 19 October 2017 (UTC) Week 4 Tingyu YangHi professor, I added one sentence with the citation for the financial statement.It is under Purpose for business entities.Shuer (talk) 18:56, 19 October 2017 (UTC)Tingyu Yang Week 6 Poorva: Adding Images and One more ArticleArticle on NYC Emergency Management: The article was using the old logo of the NYC OEM, and it also was titled "logo before rebranding" Since there were no current logos on Wikimedia, I uploaded the new logo into wikipedia, also with the citation. I then used visual editor to change he logo and use the updated one on the article page. Pn612 (talk) 19:07, 19 October 2017 (UTC) Article on Disaster recovery and business continuity auditing: The terms Business Continuity and disaster recovery were being loosely used, so I explained the difference between the two terms in the introduction. I added the reference to a book I have on BCDR planning, something I used even for my paper. It clearly explains the difference between the two terms and shows that disaster recovery is a subset of business continuity. Week 5 Tingyu Yang Contribute to two more articlesHi professor, I reviewed and added sentences to Alibaba and Customer to customer. I added the sentence under Alipay of Alibaba. One of the advantages for Alibaba is the quick and reliable payment system such as credit card, debit card, Alipay, Quick-pay, online banking, and so on. I also added a sentence under Business model of Customer to customer. With the development of technology, there are various platforms that Consumer-to-consumer e-commerce is taking place on, such as social media (e.g. Facebook), advertisement websites and online auction sites.Shuer (talk) 20:05, 19 October 2017 (UTC)Tingyu Yang Andy's Assignment Week 5I add history confirm to Arthur_Samuel and Jin Yong.

Week 5 HW Erika Paul: Reviewed 2 Articles and added citations and content.I reviewed the following articles Glass ceiling and Technology strategy.

I made some changes to the article, also added the definition of a SWOT analysis and linked it to a wikipedia. link.

Week 1 Poorva: Wikipedia can be so addictiveHello Fulbert/ Professor. As promised, I am determined to finish the extra credit assignment. My username is pn612 This is so addictive! I am sure I will continue to use it throughout my studies. Pn612 (talk) 17:11, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
Week 5 Poorva: Reviewing 2 more articlesArticle on Emergency Management: The article was misrepresenting the interchangeability of the terms emergency and disaster, which are different. I briefly explained the difference and made the edit, added a source from the World Health Organization, and made the introduction more robust. There was a message template requesting to cite a source for that information, so I looked into it and added the citation as requested. Article on Notify NYC: The article stated that the Notify NYC service was started by the NYC OEM, but it did not mention that it was started in collaboration with the Department of Information Technology & Telecommunications as well. Although this fact is stated later in the article, it should be mentioned in the opening line as well. I also ensured I linked this edit to the DoITT page, in case the reader wanted to be directed there at this stage of the article. The last line of the article announces that mobile services would be included and this was said in 2011. I did further research and found an article dated September 22, 2017 which gave the release information and the capability of the app. I thus added the updated information with the reference cited. Pn612 (talk) 18:24, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
