wikimidia polimi
salve, ho quasi terminato il mio lavoro su una voce di wikipidia, potresti controllarla nei prossimi giorni per favore? Ho rimosso dal mio gruppo un utente perchè non ha assolutamente partecipato al lavoro. grazie e buona giornata Utente:Edocarli/Sandbox
ciao, il progetto consisteva nel modificare, aggiornare e ampliare una voce già esistente. la voce era reti di computer, termine ora obsoleto sostituito da reti internet la suddetta voce era obsoleta e vi è esplicitamente scritto di ampliarla, così ho aggiornato il titolo e interamente i contenuti. sono state corrette e aggiunte numerose voci stando attento a non espandermi troppo in quanto esiste una voce internet e quindi evitare ridondanze. il lavoro è quasi terminato, mancano solo alcune foto e una citazione del libro sul quale sto attualmente studiando. grazie e buona giornata --Edocarli (msg) 22:09, 2 mag 2019 (CEST)
buongiorno, io e Utente:Bayron Jefer Palma Sotelo ci siamo accorti che la pagina scelta da tradurre e migliorare dall'inglese Packed Bed Reactor esiste già ma con un nome diverso, motivo per cui non ce n'eravamo accorti. Abbiamo quindi pensato di occuparci del miglioramento delle voci Riflettanza e Trasmittanza che a oggi non sono state assegnate a nessuno. Spero che questo cambiamento non sia un problema. Grazie e buona giornata --Rosalena.disalvo (msg) 16:12, 4 mag 2019 (CEST)
Ciao Franciaio, nel mio progetto mi sono occupato di ampliare una voce: la voce era "reti di computer", è un termine usato prettamente dagli informatici e ormai obsoleto, come il contenuto della voce; il titolo è stato rinominato in "reti internet" in quanto termine moderno e attualmente utilizzato in quanto si parla non più solo di computer ma di dispositivi di varia natura connessi in rete tra di loro. Nella voce comunque era richiesto un esplicito ampliamento. Ho inserito il collegamento alla voce "internet" per permettere un ulteriore approfondimento a chi fosse interessato e non andare in errore a duplicare gli argomenti. La mia voce spiega la rete dal punto di vista dei suoi componenti fisici e protocollari e progettuali, non tratta altri aspetti di livello più alto. --Edocarli (msg) 09:03, 15 mag 2019 (CEST)
