Assignment 1 Submissions
- Name: David Jodoin
My Wikipedia work was focused on contribution to the wiki page on VoIP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_over_Internet_Protocol. I selected this wiki as have done a significant amount of work related to next generation voice networks and have designed and developed solutions in this industry. My edits were primarily NPOV edits to the Fax handling section of the wiki and the discussion of T.38 faxing over UDP vs. IP vs. analog. I selected this section as I found the section needed citations for some of the statements made to prior authors. I specifically added a couple of references and re-edited some of the language to be less opinionated and more factual from an objective point of view. Specifically I found some of the language to be somewhat whimsical as the author attempted to act as an authority on the topic, yet I found some of the statements made were either anecdotal in nature and not backed by any rigorous research. In addition, statements were made which belied the authors biases toward the topic and sounded immature.
I experimented to see if something comes up on my watch-list for this topic by in some cases deleting entire sentences of prior writers statements in favor of my own. I also used a online shopping mart as a reference to see if the reference itself would be disallowed due to it being commercial in nature. I am anxious to see the result of these two edits. --Lunatixcoder 15:47, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
