I wasn't sure whether I've put this one and Schramm's model of communication under the most appropriate categories at Wikipedia:Good articles - feel free to move them around there. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 23:10, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure that there is a good fit in our GA categories for topics in communication theory. Maybe "Culture and cultural studies" is as good as it gets so I'll leave it as it is. Another candidate would be "Anthropology, anthropologists, sociology and sociologists". Phlsph7 (talk) 08:29, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Philosophy

On 7 October 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Philosophy, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that physics, chemistry, and biology were all part of philosophy before they became separate disciplines? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Philosophy. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Philosophy), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Infinite regress

Can you please explain why you reverted my edit? The referenced article does support the thesis that this is a theoretical physically consistent possibility? Strecosaurus (talk) 22:36, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Strecosaurus and thanks for your efforts at improving this article. The main reason why I removed this addition was that it is not supported by the source: the source does not discuss infinite regresses anywhere. Another reason is that the claim it makes is possibly false: not everything that is infinite is an infinite regress.

As a sidenote: I saw that you added the specific source https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.02338 to several different articles. This could be considered a form of reference spamming, see WP:REFSPAM. If you are personally associated with this source or its author then you need to declare your conflict of interest (see WP:COI). In this case, it would probably be best not to avoid this type of editing. Phlsph7 (talk) 07:19, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thank you, that answers my question. (And I got this article from one of Aron Ra's recent videos discussing whether the Universe can be eternal into the past purely on physics grounds or not, and it was also linked in the video description; as a Wikipedian I added it where it seemed appropriate, seems like an interesting result, feel free to revert if you think otherwise.)

Stones

While I have got nothing against you as a person, I am somewhat annoyed by your comments at the RfC. I don't think it is fair to say I'm trying to "put stones in people's way"; I'm trying to establish the minimal possible framework of policy for breathing room to explore the potential of a new technology. You may have noticed that, every time there's one of those big project-wide discussions about LLMs, there's a sizeable contingent of people who simply say that they're garbage and we need to ban them entirely -- I will also note that this contingent grows larger in direct proportion to the amount of slop that is poured into the new pages feed. If we refuse to do anything at all about this issue, even the smallest token gesture, it is not going to result in a bright new sunny day for LLM enjoyers. jp×g 🗯️ 09:25, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@JPxG: Thanks for letting me know how you feel and I regret that my comments annoyed you. My criticism expressed in the stone-comment was not directed at you as a person but at "the policy in its current formulation". I appreciate all the effort you have poured into the project of addressing inappropriate LLM uses. The change I proposed to the current formulation was meant as a contribution to this project. My impression is that the two of us agree that LLMs are both useful and dangerous and that a middle way is required to harness their potential while minimizing their downsides.

Section "Beginning of communication" for the article "Communication"

Hi Phlsph7! Thank you for your valuable comments and appreciating my efforts. Do you think that a concise explanation of the topic (the beginning of communication) might be available in another already existing section as a short part of it (e.g., in “Communication Studies”)? Best regards, Ana Padovana (talk) 13:57, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Ana Padovana and thanks for your effort at improving this article and your detailed research. The section "Communication studies" is supposed to give a concise overview of the most important developments and topics in this field. I don't think that the theories covered in your addition are widely discussed in communication studies. The main article Communication studies has some more space for details. You could try adding one or two sentences to that article if the sources on communication studies support it.

As a side note: I saw that you added similar sections to other articles on broad topics. There is a chance that they have similar problems. Many of your contributions cover shared intentionality and mention Michael Tomasello. If you have a conflict of interest, for example, because you are personally associated with some of the authors and/or publications, then you have to declare that. Phlsph7 (talk) 18:03, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I found a way to mention communication between mother and fetus in one sentence. This is not a major topic relative to communication in general so I don't think a detailed discussion is justified. Phlsph7 (talk) 18:36, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Thank you for mentioning the topic of "beginning of communication" in the article. The origin of any appearance in Nature is a crucial part of its essence. To my mind, ‘refining the theoretical understanding of communication’ is impossible without studying its beginning. While one sentence is better than zero, the sentence "Some basic forms of communication happen even before birth between mother and embryo and include information about nutrition and emotions" may create many critical comments. For example, what does this sentence mean by the definition of ‘basic forms of communication’ between two organisms that cannot interact through the sensory system: one of them is in a womb and does not possess abstract thinking to interact through a coding system being at the reflexes stage of development? This is precisely the central point of the problem.

‘Communication studies covers a wide area overlapping with many other disciplines, such as biology, anthropology, psychology, sociology, linguistics, media studies, and journalism.’(the section ‘Communication studies’ of the article) Therefore human in se, in the meaning of "homo sapiens," plays an essential role in communication studies; communication and cognition are closely related topics (they only exist in co-existence). Even though it may seem that the origins of communication is a novel topic for communication studies, it has been intensively discussed in the context of the topic of cognition since the XIX century. Famous thinkers Kant, children development psychologists Piaget and Vygotsky, and modern scientists such as cognitive psychologist Anne Treisman contributed to this knowledge.

The significance of knowledge about the beginning of communication cannot be overestimated since it can show new research directions for developing the notion of communication.

I do not think that one or two questions may explain this broad issue.

I am really confused by your question about a conflict of interest. No, I'm not paid to edit Wiki. However, I like this topic of beginning cognition and know some scientists working in this area. Some of them, I do not like. I sympathize with Tomasello's ideas and could call myself his follower, although I do not know him personally. Whether or not it means that I am personally associated with these scientists? Thank you for posing the question. Thank you for the kind and prompt response! Best regards, Ana Padovana (talk) 22:24, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article discusses various forms of communication, including communication between plants, between cells, and between non-living entities. Given this background, I don't think that communication between mother and fetus is a particularly problematic phenomenon. If the sentence can be formulated in a way that avoids the problem you see then we could consider it.

I suggest that you read WP:COI. It is not restricted to paid editing. If you are merely a fan of Tomasello or another author you cite but have no contact with them then you don't need to worry about conflict of interest. If you are personally associated with them or if some of the papers you cite are your own or from a research group you are associated with then it could be conflict of interest. Phlsph7 (talk) 17:11, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the kind proposal! I would suggest this (additionally to your sentence) if you prefer a short form:

Some basic forms of communication happen even before birth between mother and embryo and include information about nutrition and emotions.^[1]^[2] Michael Tomasello developed the psychological construct of Shared intentionality to account for unaware processes during ecological learning.

Here is just one more comment supporting Michael Tomasello. In 2022, he received the David Rumelhart Prize in the Cognitive Science Society as an award for his insights into cognition evolution and, specifically, the knowledge development about the contribution of shared intentionality to cognition and social reality formation.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm sorry if I'm a bit slow, but I don't understand why it is necessary to present this example in the light of Tomasello's novel theory of shared intentionality. I checked the two sources of the example and they mention neither Tomasello nor shared intentionality.

The main point of this subsection is to explain non-verbal communication. Communication between mother and embryo is merely used as an example. If this example is as problematic as you say and can only be discussed through the lens of a novel theory that introduces unexplained concepts to the reader then it may be better to remove the example.

Your GA nomination of Arithmetic

The article Arithmetic you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Arithmetic for comments about the article, and Talk:Arithmetic/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has never appeared on the Main Page as a "Did you know" item, and has not appeared within the last year either as "Today's featured article", or as a bold link under "In the news" or in the "On this day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear at DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On this day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

DYK for Existence

On 8 January 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Existence, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that it is controversial whether there are things that do not exist? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Existence. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Existence), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

TFA

Thank you today for Communication, introduced: "Communication is a wide topic and includes diverse phenomena pertaining not only to humans but also to animals, plants, and computers. The article may interest you if you have ever wondered about some of the following questions: "Is communication more than the transmission of information?", "How can intrapersonal communication be external?", "Are there important differences between human and animal communication?", "How do plants communicate despite their limited bodily movement?", "Why is communication between members of the same species more common than between members of different species?", and "Why did the invention of the printing press matter in the history of communication?"."!

Happy New Year

The image of my story yesterday would make a good illustration for communication, while today's story is a nod to my mother on her birthday ;) -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:43, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Transmission and reception.

Hi, first of all I would like to record my appreciation of the work you have done on the various pages around Communication.

I would normally have just made an edit rather than talk but given the featured article status and your work etc thought I would talk first.

I suggest that the first line read:

"Communication is usually understood to be the transmission and reception of information."

(Italics just to show my addition).

In my work simply transmitting data has often not resulted in comprehension by the listener/reader. I would support my suggested change by using the Oxford Dictionary of Media and Communication (amongst other texts) which emphasises interaction rather than transmission. (see https://www-oxfordreference-com.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/display/10.1093/acref/9780198841838.001.0001/acref-9780198841838-e-413?rskey=h9ldXT&result=1)

Would you support this addition as I think it would help set the scene for the rest of the article especially for those new to the subject ??

Happy to hear your views. johnmark†:Talk(talk to me) 11:33, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Johnmarkh and thanks for the feedback and bringing this to the talkpage. Your reasoning makes sense but many definitions put much more stress on transmission than on reception. I agree that for good communication, the reception part is key, but I'm not sure that this needs to be emphasized in the first sentence (see MOS:LEADCLUTTER) rather explaining it later. A shorter alternative would be "exchange of information". However, this is also not ideal, since it implies that information goes back and forth, which is not always the case. The precise definition is a difficult and controversial subject, as discussed in the section Communication#Definitions. Phlsph7 (talk) 13:08, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Amazing contributions!

So impressed by your writing ability. Communication is just one such example. It is a wonderful world (talk) 06:22, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
