Talk:Models of collaborative tagging

[Untitled]

This article definitely needs to be reworked. Most quotations are verbal and not in quotes. Otherwise I think this article is ok. Zorro^z Msgs 15:42, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Copy-edit needed

This is an interesting topic, with useful information about how models of social tagging work (or fail to). However, the grammar is not exactly that of English, and some of the writing could be clearer. And of course, more references would help. I'll add it to my to-do list, but don't wait on me! yoyo (talk) 03:06, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

@Yahya Abdal-Aziz and anyone else who wants to improve this article: I'm almost finished copy editing the article. However, I became increasingly concerned as I worked through; around halfway through, the article began to show signs of original research and essay-like qualities, so I added a few maintenance tags at the top of the article.

Some parts definitely seem like someone drew their own conclusions based on pre-existing research. Example: The simple model, however, does not explain why certain tags would to be "imitated" more often than others, and therefore cannot provide a realistic mechanism for tag choices and how social tags could be utilized as navigational cues during exploratory search, not to mention the obviously over-simplified representation of individual users by balls in an urn. I've already trimmed out egregious phrases like "obviously", but regardless, these conclusions must be attributed and cited. Otherwise, they should be deleted.

Furthermore, most of the journal sources only appear as a citation once, or twice at best. We need better in-line referencing for verification purposes. Bobbychan193 (talk) 19:47, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

I've finished copy editing the article. Best of luck moving forward. Bobbychan193 (talk) 20:32, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

@Bobbychan193, thanks for your work! I've done a little copy-editing today, mostly making it less wordy. Much still remains to do. yoyo (talk) 02:11, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
