Articles requiring improvement

edit

If you identify an article related to HCI requiring improvement, please add a link to it in the list below along with a note describing what work needs to be done on the article. For example, copy the format from #1 below (#1 is itself not in need of assistance, it's included just to clarify format):

  1. Non-HCI-Article - Example TODO: Needs citations to support claims.
  2. Online_community - The section under "Classifying online communities" could be improved by adding more recent efforts in community classification, including original citations for Communities of Practice, Networks of Practice, the distinction between small groups and communities, etc. Md gilbert (talk)
  3. Iterative_design - This page needs citations, grammar checks, and just a general double-check of content. Marge6914 (talk)
  4. User_research - This page only barely exists! It needs content, citations, and everything else! Marge6914 (talk) Update: I expanded the intro a little bit, added a couple of citations, and added a reflist. Marge6914 (talk) I just added content to this page and added more citations.--Sramx (talk) 02:03, 19 April 2022 (UTC)Sramx[reply]
  5. Experience_design - This page could be improved by changing the format of it from a personal opinion essay to be more encyclopedic. It also needs more citations and grammar checks. Marge6914 (talk)
  6. Information architecture - This page needs more content, half of the page are links to other pages. The page's current content just seems to be an extended definition. Maee10 (talk) 09:07, 8 April 2014 (UTC) Update: I added citations to this page, and did some minor grammatical editing. Maee10 (talk) 21:36, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  7. Graphical user interface This page needs grammar edits and areas of it could be reworded in order to improve fluency. Maee10 (talk) 09:07, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  8. Participatory design This page needs more content added to the "Processes, Procedures and Methods" section. Maee10 (talk) 09:07, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  9. Usability engineering This page contains excessive links to other articles, not enough references, and the section under "Methods and tools" could be improved by adding other tools such as card sorting. JLand13 (talk) 20:37, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  10. Card sorting This page could be improved by making the applications for card sorting a separate section and adding more content. JLand13 (talk) 21:00, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  11. User experience design This page needs more citations and needs to be reworked into an encyclopedic rather than a reflective piece. JLand13 (talk) 21:16, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  12. Database design - This page is missing a lot of important citations and references, and has a few dead links. Tannermp (talk) 00:54, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  13. Value Sensitive Design - This page is basically just a stub with almost no information. Tannermp (talk) Update: I added some relevant links and citations Tannermp (talk)
  14. Lifelog - In need of grammar checks, and is in need of some updation. Tannermp (talk)
  15. Usability testing - The section about the goals of usability testing needs to be completed.Candice Juan (talk) 02:22, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  16. Virtual user interface - This page lacks references and has a few contents. Also need to create some links to other wiki pages.Candice Juan (talk) 02:25, 13 April 2014 (UTC) Update: Added relevant information pertaining to devices that will have a VUI Tannermp (talk)[reply]
  17. Electronic money - Most contents in this article lack references and citations. Candice Juan (talk) 02:27, 13 April 2014 (UTC) Added a citation after "electronic funds transfer" citing an article from the National Center for Biotechnology Information about the electronic fund transfer system. Pgrobison (talk) 20:22, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  18. Accessibility - It's not enough to only talk about the accessibility in web and visualization. It should include various fields, for example, electric products, etc. Weariness (talk)
  19. Computer network - This page could be improved by adding what people's thinking in each kind of network. For example, what advantages and disadvantages when each network is used. Weariness (talk) I improved it by adding the disadvantage of wired technology with reference.Weariness (talk) 22:55, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  20. Technical writing - This page needs more details about user assistance as well as references. Weariness (talk) I added one more reference about the definition.Weariness (talk) 22:41, 19 April 2014 (UTC) Update (2): I did some grammatical editing and replaced a dead link with a new citation. Maee10 (talk) 07:45, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  21. Video game design - Under the "Compensation" section, it has been noted that improvement is required to incorporate a worldwide view of the information. Additionally, the "Disciplines" section needs expansion. Pgrobison (talk)
  22. Automotive design - Needs a section for "Dashboard Design" discussing technological aspects of a car's interior. The "Interior design" section is also quite bare. Pgrobison (talk)
  23. Prototype - The incorporation of User Research in the "User Experience Prototype" subheading under "Basic Prototype Categories" would be a helpful addition. The Engineering Science and Natural Science headings both require some beefing up. Pgrobison (talk)
  24. Biohacking - The ideology section of this page could use some revisions including tying HCI relevance to transhumanism and its significance within the ideas of biohackers. This article could also be edited to relate to services like 23andme and other quantified self practices that are becoming popular. Benilsen (talk)
  25. Mobile social network - The safety section of this article is lacking and only mentions that security risks exist without listing examples or potentials. The page could also benefit from further discussion of the topic in places other than the United States as well as including some of the more modern technologies embracing Mobile Social Networks. Benilsen (talk)
  26. Wearable technology - Many of the sections seem half-baked and not entirely necessary such as the 'Festivals and Shows' section where only one example is given. This is a rapidly growing area and would benefit from inclusion of more information and examples of wearable technology. Benilsen (talk)
  27. Facial recognition system - This could use some expert knowledge, and needs more citations. Sharkers (talk) 03:56, 14 April 2014 (UTC) Added a citation to the end of the introductory information with more general information about facial recognition. Pgrobison (talk) 20:13, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  28. User interface design - Needs more citations to improve the reliability of the article. Sharkers (talk) 04:14, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  29. Visualization - This page needs verification of its citations and could use some more reliable sources. Sharkers (talk)
  30. Usability inspection - This page needs more content regarding what usability inspection actually entails. Pnwadventure (talk)
  31. Web design - This page needs further verification of citations and should include a more elaborate depiction of user experience design and interaction design in web forms Pnwadventure (talk)
  32. Focus group - In addition to added citation and verification needed, this page could be improved upon by adding more to the 'usability engineering' section Pnwadventure (talk)
  33. Flat UI Design - I would highly recommend to add some images of examples of "Flat Design". A single image will show reader even more information than a thousand of words, especially in the field of visual design. Update: I modified the definition and noble examples of this term.AnneZ (talk)
  34. Skeuomorph - recently there is an argument around skeuomorphic design and flat design. I would recommend to add this to the article. Additionally, if an image of contrast between flat style and skeuomorphic style is added, it would be better.Updated: I added a sentence of its contrast design - flat design. AnneZ (talk)
  35. Typography - I would recommend to add some content about the importance of Typography in Flat UI design and other modern Typography contents.AnneZ (talk)
  36. Page_layout - This article does not talk enough about how a page layout can change a user's experience. It could also have more specific reccomendations about different kinds of grid systems.
  37. Diary Studies - Page can use more information about the method and maybe link to methodology page.DDS6619 (talk)
  38. Context-aware Computing- There doesn't seem to be much on context awareness for design and this site could definitely be expanded upon.DDS6619 (talk)
  39. Ambiguous computing - There is very little information on this page. Surprisingly with all the recent work in this subject.DDS6619 (talk)
