Talk:Group

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bold text*Group Talk 28 June 2005 23:12 (UTC) There is no correct entry for Galaxy. The Galaxy entry applies to "galaxy" (uncapitalised). "The Galaxy" should have an entry - it is our home galaxy centered in the constellation Saggitarius. The disambiguation page does not help. To repeat: "Galaxy" is our home galaxy "galaxy" (astronomy) is generic Disambiguators of the world, converge - you have nothing to lose but your confusion.Carrionluggage 23:15, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "Group" Definition and Development

Does any one know why the article entitled " group " was removed,and by whom? I will try to revert to 23January 2006 if not adequately explained.68.220.36.16 19:47, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

There was already an article here and you've written a whole bunch of poorly formatted stuff that at first glance doesn't seem to fit in an encycolopedia. Is your information related to Group (sociology). If so, please edit that page. If not, perhaps you can put your information at Group (FIELD) and simply leave a link to that on this page. Tedernst | talk 20:38, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your prompt response. Please discuss with me before you change again .I tried to write an original article on "GROUP". I am a relative newbie and searched for the blank page. I even wrote an e-mail to WP, but the answer was not helpful, so I put it on the disambigition page which kept coming up on the Search. I agree with you that there are some errors in format, and I was working to edit them. I can learn the formatting only a little at a time.

I strongly disagree with you about the value of the contents. This is well verified material as listed in references. It is a much needed melding of social psychology, group development,and animal behavior for the evoltionary explanation. As mentioned in the article, most sociologists , for example, have not tended to this facet for various reasons. I'm not sure what "encylopedic" style excludes. I tried to follow the hints provided, and feel that this piece follows the needs of the content.

I agree that it may be misplaced on this page, and would appreciate any help in moving it. Unfortunately, the initial suggestions do not seem any more appropriate than your page.68.220.36.16 21:02, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I ask you again, is your information about Group (sociology)? If so, please edit that page. If not, let's come up with an appropriate name for your page. What would you suggest? Tedernst | talk 21:59, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

You are certainly more experienced about WP than I am so I accept your judgement. Given the alternative, the content is more appropriate for Group ( sociology) than for the disambiguation page, though there is a decided difference in scientific disipline. If you are suggesting a separate page, I would not object. The heart of my article is the use and need for a more precise definition. So how about "Group" Definition and Development, or any modification there of.

In any event, I am at a loss as to how to make the transfer. Can you help? I am a registered User, but what I had listed as my password is not accepted at LOG IN. I have several times requested a new password, but have not received same.68.220.36.16 22:36, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I moved it. Have you looked at the MoS at all? That would be a good place to start, in terms of how an article should look. I've taken a first pass at cleaning it up for you. It seems likely that the page name will have to change again, but don't worry about that for now. Now it's the time wikify it. And let's move this conversation over there. Talk:"Group" Definition and Development Tedernst | talk 22:48, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

So far it doesn't come up , but as the note says there may be a delay. Yes, I have read, printed, and studied the MoS. I was trying to correct errors as indicated in the summary of edits. But the process is not so easy in the learning stage. Thank you for your constructive criticism, and I hope that this works out to your satisfaction.68.220.36.16 16:30, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

The talk page just needed to be created. It's there now: Talk:"Group" Definition and Development. Also, don't feel you have to discuss all changes to your page on the talk page first. Just go ahead and impliment the manual of style, and ask questions as you need to. Others might also edit the page as well, as you know. Tedernst | talk 16:51, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Missing article

We seem to be lacking an article on a meaning of the word "group" that is somehow related to telephony/signalling. Lots of the articles that link here (which they shouldn't) are referring to this meaning, but I can't work out what it actually is. Anyone? Soo 23:50, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Are you thinking of the meaning in telephony carrier systems where it refers to a group of channels (a set of channels carried together on the same carrier subsystem)? In this case, you may want to see Frequency-division multiple access where groups, supergroups, and mastergroups are all mentioned.
