Knowledge (XXG)

Talk:Comparison of IRC clients/Archive 4

Source đź“ť

1725:. Get real: any Knowledge (XXG) editor can be objective about whether sources exist, and whether material is properly sourced, regardless of the topic area and expertise. If an editor cannot verify a claim in an article against cited sources, or finds the sources inexcusably weak, they have the incontrovertible right, under explicit policy, guideline, essay, and consensus, to speak up, and have their concerns honored, civilly. It is editors, by consensus, who determine article content - there are many, many editors here who want better sourcing, and inline citations, for claims made in this list cum table. Best to get along with them, and try to build consensus. Yes, compromise is probably necessary. As for why inclusion should be justified, and why defend challenged material, read 95:
honest: Lexein, IRWolfie, why exactly are you trying to make this into the equivalent of a Favorites list for IRC clients? I'm not a huge wiki editor, I can't link rules left and right, but I know that being a dick is looked down upon, and I have to call you both out on it. This is a comparison list of IRC clients. That means it compares IRC clients. Not popular IRC clients. Not Well Known IRC clients. Not your favorite IRC client. All IRC clients. Anyone who attempts to argue this otherwise promptly gets very displeased, nearly rude response rebuffing them from you both. So what's up, you two? What exactly do you have against this page?
4443:). However, here we have a situation where a large piece of text is commented out not while there is a search for consensus but in the hope that a source verifying the commented text will arrive at a later date. This is not acceptable both because of the size of the commented sections and because of the uncertainty that such a source or sources will ever arrive. If there is support for the text, but no reliable sources, then may I suggest storing the commented text in a subpage of the talk page so that it can be easily accessed when necessary. In the meantime, the commented text should be deleted. -- 1733:
or a fringe view. Similarly if available in Galileo's time, it would have reported the view that the sun goes round the earth as a fact, and Galileo's view would have been rejected as 'original research'. Of course, if there is a popularly held or notable view that the earth is flat, Knowledge (XXG) reports this view. But it does not report it as true. It reports only on what its adherents believe, the history of the view, and its notable or prominent adherents. Knowledge (XXG) is inherently a non-innovative reference work: it stifles creativity and free-thought. Which is A Good Thing. --
220: 3193:, would result in the deletion of most IRC articles, and the drastic shortening of this page. The criteria here, under the extant fragile consensus, should not be dismissed so easily as "too stringent." Things could be so much worse. I do wish you would read, and assume good faith about (and appreciate), all the hard work that has gone before to save this and other IRC-related articles from oblivion, while still supporting the Knowledge (XXG) tenet of independent reliable sourcing of all content. -- 5233:, it's as easy as that. But, I suspect that your concerns are about IRCjr, not LeetIRC, so why don't we keep the arguments relevant? Sometimes it's difficult for people to see how something could be considered non-notable on Knowledge (XXG) when it seems so notable to them. This is one side effect of having a conflict of interest, it's difficult for you to look at the situation objectively. Consider the types of sources which are ubiquitous for truly notable IRC clients, like 4747:"Shrug." That's all you have to say. I went through the effort to properly do the table, include sources, and to make it consistent with the rest of the table. You deleted it on sight after reading the first line - if you had gone to line two, you'd have seen the third source. Which was appropriate to put as a version footnote, just like the other entries in the table do. It was on the second line of changes that I made! How much work would it have been to look at it? 1085:
fact, examples of the few acceptable uses of source code in Knowledge (XXG), which are not in dispute here. Nearly all the articles are about the practice of software engineering; a few are about specific software products. But still, none of the articles offered use inline citations to primary source code files for features of a software product itself, or anything else. I examined dozens of the articles at random, I'll describe four representative examples here:
3754:
lonely client added it to the table nobody accused him of a conflict of interest. I am quite frustrated with the intransigence here to opening the article up, and excuse me if it shows. Nobody really expects to be able to force anything in, because the (undo) button being wielded here by the people sitting on the article is too quick and too easy. You do not see any bogus editing caused by that forum thread - learn to take things in context.
31: 1367:, for example, it's not citing the source itself, it's really citing the NOTES and UPDATES files, which explain the cited fact in plain English; the link to the actual code file could be removed but it's good to have it there for verification purposes. Significant comments inside the source code are probably citable too. Making your own analysis from an uncommented function in a code file wouldn't be OK. 3550: 3802:
should be changed to "Comparison of popular IRC clients"... otherwise, leave them ALL if they are verifyable. And this is IMO, but I think IRCjr and LeetIRC are particularly notable because of the fact that they are clients for DOS that are still under development. That is a rarity, and they certainly will have their niche of users even in 2011. They appear to be the only two.
1371:
cite specific features from plain English comments in the source code and the project files. These texts can be taken as being part of the documentation of the project, as a last resource for features that don't appear in the documentation manuals because they are too specialized. I think that this has already been told to you in this talk page:
5275:
legitimate entry, and even suggested that I have Mike Chambers (the author of LeetIRC) write a review to give me an additional reliable source. So using the same criteria as applied to LeetIRC seemed perfectly logical to me. The refusal to add IRCjr but leave LeetIRC seems wrong given that LeetIRC was the standard I was given to use.
142:). I'm in favor of all clients listed in this list/table being supported by at least one independent reliable source. Otherwise, it's just a list of random self-proclaimed clients with no independent verification. I'm even willing to go so far as to try to establish reliability for sources which at first appear not to be reliable. 4502:. The commented text prevents needless re-introduction of material by well-meaning editors who will otherwise waste a lot of time adding material they "notice is missing" from the tables. The only time the commented material is going to be seen is during editing, so it doesn't get in anyone's way. Commenting out otherwise 180:
Unfortunately, as I discussed with Lexein, due to template changes and improvements to other sections of this article, it wasn't possible to simply revert back to a previous version and update from there. I'd planned to have it done by now, but I'd greatly underestimated just how time consuming the task would be. --
3340:. I never accepted MTCP as an IRC client, and I doubt Tothwolf did. The client has never been reviewed or significantly mentioned on its own. When the interested editors return, we will of course continue to discuss it. You decided to misread my suggestion to get IRCjr reviewed as "get MTCP reviewed." That was 969:, there will be endless, frequently fruitless debate, endlessly restarting. We're farther along that track now, and some actual concrete good could come from this and other discussions. I say, no point in giving up now. Though I do see definite value in getting back to articles, too, as I explained in my email. 3651:. Both of these facts seriously harm your credibility here when it comes to discussing things related to IRCjr. This may seem counter-intuitive (after all, who is a better source of information about IRCjr than the person who created it, right?), but this is the way Knowledge (XXG) works. Knowledge (XXG) is a 1534:). (The fun part comes when secondary and primary sources are in disagreement and you have to asses their relative reliability. This is usually solved by finding better secondary sources that explain why the primary sources are wrong, misleading, or why they need to be interpreted in a certain context. This is 5093:
Apparently you don't like being wrong, and called out on it. Try to be more professional - you dropped the ball on this. You've been going way over the top to try to prevent this particular edit, even though there are other clients on the list as well (or poorly) sourced. Your bias shows pretty clearly.
2470:, but in my beard-stroking opinion, it reads as a recommendation, by an expert, in a book, even without a full review. Since the primary source is fully informative, I'm inclined to pass this entry. Obviously, more exhaustive reviews are desirable, but that desire, to me, does not exclude this client. -- 746:, "Sources must support the material clearly and directly" - presumably, without internal conflict or vagueness. Would the file name and line number be cited? Hm. If not, why not? Interestingly, no such information seems to have been listed in citations so far. It's an interesting test case. I hereby 5062:
And now you are are posting links to funny pictures claiming I'm the problem. (That's an elementary school tactic.) Let's see, an editor who deletes without reading what he is deleting, or somebody who makes an edit with properly sourced material and has it deleted on sight. Where is the problem?
3469:
And you conveniently choose to ignore that the reliable source for FreeDOS that is used to justify LeetIRC being on the list is content free, and is not a review of LeetIRC. The references from FreeDOS just say that it was shipped with FreeDOS. If FreeDOS ships the entire mTCP suite (which is does,
3292:
As for concensus, Tothwolf was clearly of the opinion that it should be included. I am too. Other people are commenting (anonymously, but still commenting) about the overly restrictive inclusion policies in this article. We don't have consensus - we have a draw, and it is easier to undo than it is
1732:
If Knowledge (XXG) had been available around the fourth century B.C., it would have reported the view that the Earth is flat as a fact and without qualification. And it would have reported the views of Eratosthenes (who correctly determined the earth's circumference in 240BC) either as controversial,
1084:
The size or detail of WP is no issue. I do wish you'd taken my request seriously. This portion of the discussion is about citing source code as a WP source, especially from a primary source, to support claims about software features. The examples offered are not concrete examples of this, but are in
737:
Consider: if source code were to be cited, which part? Whole releases? Code blocks? Statements? Function names? Comments? Documentation embeds? Readmes? What if the comment says, "connect to proxy" but the code does no such thing? Or if the code seems to, but waaaay down in the header files, that

A programmer reading a program learns information about instructing a computer, and might use this information to improve personal programming skills and perhaps the craft of programming. Moreover, programmers communicating ideas to one another almost inevitably communicate in code, much as musicians
286:
I did not say I don't know much about the subject, I know of many (heard of, not used, I know use irssi exclusively) of the clients listed. I said I don't know much about these specific clients since I have -never- heard of them. I think there is no reason to justify their inclusion that I have seen,
3933:
include them all, but there are two reasons why we probably shouldn't... One, due to browser limitations it would be difficult to include all clients in a single article and have it still remain useful to readers (we would have to split the material into multiple articles, which would then limit the
3753:
As for conflict of interest, I am the author and I've never hidden that. Authors of other IRC clients are trying to get their clients added to the list too, *for completeness*. Right now you have one IRC client for DOS listed; there are at least three. I can assure you when the author of that one
3239:
Let's narrow the scope of the discussion - reliable sources. IRCjr has the virtually the same sourcing as LeetIRC. The only difference is that it is distributed with a group of other programs. The reliable source used in both cases are the home page for the programs and a reference from FreeDOS.
3076:
Lexein, by your reasoning if I write an operating system and an office suite, and then I include the worlds best IRC client in there, that IRC client would be excluded. I'm playing by your rules here - the reliable sources that I cited are the same as those used by LeetIRC, and those don't count as
1984:
sufficient with its significant mention in a reliable source (a book) + one informative primary source. Simple verifiability and reliability are enough. Tothwolf disagrees with insistence on external verifiability, and SchmuckyTheCat disagrees that one independent RS is enough for a list entry : in
1851:
As I mentioned to Lexein the other day, ultimately the best thing we can do with a handful of clients which are difficult to source will be to just comment them out for the time being. This will prevent others from wasting a lot of time re-adding them again (often with less accurate information) and
1307:
Reading source code does not require "specialist knowledge". Source code is plain text, and while not entirely in English, it is no different from using a source written in Russian, Polish, or any other non-English language. Verifying the source will obviously require someone to be somewhat familiar
1136:
My position remains that quoting or citing of source code files from primary sources hasn't happened, not for software features, not where code is discussed for the purpose of illustration, nor where it is quoted in toto (an RS quoting it is used instead), or anywhere else. I believe it is, in fact,
958:
I'd appreciate it if you'd answer my challenge about trying to actually _use_ source code as a source, and its pitfalls. There is value in that discussion, and it could escalate to the establishment of an essay or guideline on allowing, and under what circumstances, such usage. You should see that
892:
meaning of the quote is that programmers are the intended human audience for source code, and possess skills and training suitable for its interpretation. At Knowledge (XXG), we rely on sources which unambiguously make statements, which we then cite. Source code is not necessarily such a clear and
194:
Looking forward to it! This stuff does take a lot of time, that's for sure. I just hope you get it to a usable state before you completely burn out or lose your mind. I sorta wish Cirt would take a stab at some of the harder to source items - he has access to a university library, apparently, and
94:
I'm just going to ask a simple, blunt question. I'm just a simple guy that was looking for IRC clients, and was dissapointed and just how small this comparison list was. I went to the talk page... and found a multi-page argument about 'Firm Rules for Inclusion' and bickering over Orion. I'm gonna be

on Knowledge (XXG). There is nothing preventing anyone from adding non-notable entries to this list, therefore the existence of an IRC client in this list doesn't conclusively prove that it is notable. If you truly believe that LeetIRC is not notable enough to be on this list, then delete it from
4687:
As for the SourceForge announcement not being reliable enough - don't raise the bar again. The announcement is from Jim Hall. It is project news for the FreeDOS project that he maintains. He controls the news items that get posted there; nobody asked him to do that, or gave him wording to use as
4481:
Collectively, the hidden text is very large. Regardless of length, each individual line should not be included anyway because of the uncertainty associated with when a source will be found. Hidden text is generally meant to be used for instructional or informational purposes and is not really meant
3979:
mbbrutman: stop moaning! I am also an author of a relatively new IRC client (ClicksAndWhistles) which did have a standalone article and entries in the tables but it was deleted due to not being notable enough at the time (it may be now). Editing an encylcolpedia for the purposes of shameless self
3778:
SW - one more thing before this matter is closed. You accuse me of being a single purpose editor. Go see the IBM PCjr page - I clearly am not a single purpose editor. There are also plenty of other edits that I did anonymously to deny people the chance to carp; not every editor needs to be on an
3579:
I've read the above discussion, browsed recent editing history, and looked at the relevant external sources. My opinion is that IRCjr should not be included in this list. When adding an entry to a list on Knowledge (XXG), the entry must satisfy the inclusion criteria for the list. Since this list

Well, they do a lot of reviews there, so there's some expertise. The prose is usually balanced, not glossing over deficiencies, listing pros and cons. Though they are on the short side (this one's 269 words), reviews there seem to have a consistent style and format. (I don't like that a reader has
2395:
is not the way forward for this article to be inclusive without being indiscriminate. We, as editors, should simply recognize when sources have spoken. The problem is solved. Our decision is made for us by the existence of those sources. I believe in a balance between the dual Knowledge (XXG) goals

as discussed above). Lexein and Yarcanox had offered to help add sources, but we still need to not bulk remove material if a source can't be located right away since Google Books doesn't index everything and since a lot of material is difficult to find today, such as has been discussed elsewhere on
1610:
Once again, I fail to understand how somebody who only has a passing knowledge of the subject matter is able to exercise a line item veto based on what they consider notable or not notable. There are other clients that you seem to have an issue with to, including IRCjr which used to appear in this

articles, then for the benefit of Knowledge (XXG) and everyone else (anyone who has had the patience to fully read our back-and-forth arguments deserves a barnstar or two), it might be best if you and I go back to working in the subject areas we generally tended to work in prior to our argument and
229:
These are the specific clients I have issue with being included LeetIRC, nexIRC, Neebly, KoolChat, DMDirc and AmIRC and ii. I admit that I don't know much of anything about these clients, but it is for those who wish to have them included show why so, not for me to justify their exclusion. Is there
5274:
I was told (in the history of this discussion) to get more sources. I waited for more sources to become available - specifically the FreeDOS crowd picked up on the code when I released the source code. That made the references effectively the same as LeetIRC. People have pointed to LeetIRC as a
5172:
plus informative primary source. FreeDOS was a reluctantly permitted, and on-the-bubble, source held up by (apparently solely by) my personal enthusiasm, and always persistently opposed by at least two other vocal, involved, editors. Said enthusiasm has, as you might have noticed by now, subsided.
5122:
It's time to stop the madness. We should be discussing what the inclusion criteria are in the face of a thinly sourced subject area - IRCjr is not the only client that is being blocked from the table. Do we need another table/article for lesser known clients? Is there a better way to have these
5032:
Absolutely fascinating! You delete edits without fulling reading them. When it's pointed out that the material you deleted is properly sourced (at least by your rules) you scold for not bringing that up early. When it's pointed out that the original edits that you deleted had the reference, you
3824:
With all due respect, an IRC client isn't notable just because you (or I) "think" that it is. If they are so unique because they are DOS clients that are still under development, then someone other than their authors would be writing more than 1-sentence mentions about them. List articles always
3722:
Advertising? You are kidding me, right? This is open source DOS software ... which is why we are having such a problem with notability. Nobody is reviewing DOS software; the notability guidelines are inappropriate for such a narrow domain. This point has been gone over and over ... it narrows
3592:
easily, so they get a free pass. Other clients, however, need to have at least a minimum of third party coverage to be verifiable. There are two sources in the article (currently commented out) for IRCjr. The first is a link to the FreeDOS website, to a page on MTCP. There are zero mentions of

is disputed, or dispute it yourself in the policy's page. As far as I am concerned, most editors agree that list articles can have their own inclusion criteria to limit the number of items, and that the inclusion criteria can require a certain level of notability for items in the list. For example
785:
of source code as a reliable source which can be used without support by any other source, and without appropriate distancing language, and do so without resorting to the non-applicable foreign language provision of RS, or you must prove that editors describing a subject is not original research.
179:
I actually have an offline draft where I've gone back through the older revisions to pull salvageable content and reintegrate it with the newer templates. I need to make one or two more passes over it and make a few more template changes, then we can begin to add sources for more of these entries.
2760:
is not about the content of an article, it's about the notability of the topic of an article, so we don't say "notability" here about clients, we use "verifiability" and "reliability" of sources. I'm shocked, shocked I say, that you haven't pored through every word of the above discussions (heh).
1613:
Just because you have not heard of a client doesn't mean you have the right to prevent others from seeing it in a comparison table. And I'm willing to bet that you don't have a DOS machine available, so you have no inclination or desire to ever hear about clients for that operating system. (And
1370:
However, they are still primary sources and we shouldn't have entries in the list that are based only around them (in the same way that we shouldn't have an article that is only based in primary sources). Once a client has an entry in the list (because it has third-party RS) you should be able to
1278:
A primary source may only be used on Knowledge (XXG) to make straightforward, descriptive statements that any educated person, with access to the source but without specialist knowledge, will be able to verify are supported by the source. For example, an article about a novel may cite passages to
3801:
The notability guideline refers to whether or not a certain topic can have it's own full article. It should not apply to something like this. This page is supposed to compare IRC clients. If you want to exclude certain clients that clearly exist because they are not popular, this article's title
3152:
Lexein, I think we need to have an external review here. My reliable sources are nearly identical to those of LeetIRC, and the FreeDOS.Org link is not a review, just a listing. To be consistent you should add mTCP, or decide that LeetIRC and others in the tables are not well enough sourced and
1529:
About citing from the HISTORY documentation file and then citing also the source file, that's for purposes of verification, I think that's called "substantiation of what secondary sources say by citing primary sources". For example, in historic articles you can cite what a historian says about a
4817:
the Sourceforge ref per se (used only in the 2nd table) until after 3O. Nobody would have missed the Sourceforge ref if you had put it in the first and second table. And you didn't mention the FreeDOS home page with the announcement until just above here. I'm pretty sure I'm free to wait for a

IRCjr has exactly the same sourcing as LeetIRC - weak references on FreeDOS and the author's home page. The only difference is that IRCjr is part of a larger group of applications and gets downloaded with that group. I can't prohibit people from talking about the group of applications (which

I'm quite satisfied that the existence, and indeed recommendation, of Limechat has been independently verified by at least one independent reliable source, and its primary source is informative enough. That's enough. It's no longer unsourced. Battling for more is the same as battling that an

And now you are posting essays to defend yourself. You should spend as much time reading the material you are about to delete! Then maybe this kind of crap wouldn't happen, and Wiki would get such a bad reputation. I love the part about not wanting to hear anything from particular people.

1417:, the 'NOTES' file supports "CTCP" being added in version 2.1 and 'source/ctcp.c' gives us the author, "Michael Sandrof". Similarly, for the statement "The DCC protocol was implemented by Troy Rollo in 1991 for version 2.1.2.", the 'UPDATES' file supports "DCC" being added in version 2.1.2: 4782:
This entire fiasco shows what is wrong with the editing of this article. Now the fate of the entry (and a related entry which you've been defending) depends on two people who've shown a tendency to delete rather than include. It's not like this table was so large that it was out of hand.
2698:
The Zenirc website itself isn't a reliable source for its attributes? I count eight clients in this comparison which don't "have a page" at all, and I didn't even bother to see how many of the rest of them had "stubby" pages. That just isn't a good argument against inlcuding clients in the
3627:
Mbbrutman also repeatedly contends that LeetIRC has the same sourcing as IRCjr, and it is allowed to remain on the list. Firstly, since LeetIRC's entry on FreeDOS is actually about LeetIRC (and mentions it by name), the sourcing of the two articles is not identical. Secondly, using the
4041:(the first two accounts eventually abandoned after being sanctioned by ArbCom and the third later blocked for this very behaviour), which itself was part of their campaign of harassment towards me (since I had been working on this article), and is detailed in the links at the top of my 1325:
then you are going to have to take your argument to a much larger venue because this has been acceptable practice here on Knowledge (XXG) since the beginning. I did note you dropped your "source code isn't a reliable source" argument, so I'm not surprised to see you trying to now claim
1783:
And there will likely be quite a few more when the mass-blanking of this article is undone soon (including quite a few which are now blue links and should have never been removed from these tables in the first place)...that is, until people begin restoring and adding references per

because as has been brought up above, and can be seen in the edit history of the article, we've never had much of a problem with "spammers" here. There just isn't much money to be made in "spamming IRC clients", and especially the Freeware and Open Source clients you are mentioning

You say you deleted nothing pre-emptively. Yet you deleted a new entry, then blamed me for not pointing out a reference that was part of the entry you deleted. So at a minimum you deleted without fully reading, and tried to assign responsibility for the missed reference to
3007:
There is nothing "freakin' difficult to understand." IRCjr has its own end user documentation. It has its own web page and has had it continuously. It was the first (and only) application I released, back when mTCP didn't have a name and it was entirely embedded in IRCjr.
715:
That quote does not support the position that some random unknown blighter's software source code constitutes a reliable, verifiable source on Knowledge (XXG), nor the claim that no expertise is required to understand source code. The quote indeed invokes "human being", but
2500:
Deletion imposes too great a burden on re-adding editors once the revert window has closed. There has been consensus that all entries without articles will be sourced, so deletion is not necessary - commenting out is enough. (Enric, thanks very much for commenting out, and
1617:
Why on earth are we trying to justify inclusion of particular subject matter to somebody who isn't interested in the subject matter, and isn't being very objective? Nobody is asking for separate articles, and that is where the notability "GUIDELINES" would be applicable.
405:
BitchX is fine for the article since it has it's own article. I don't see why EPIC is not included since third party references can show its notability. Also since wikipedia does not have firm rules that does allow for applying an inclusion criteria to the article.
230:
any current justification for their inclusion. note: if a client is being included because you think it is interesting then you are implicitly applying notability as a criteria. I have no objection at this time with any of the other clients currently in the article.
465:. All of these have had a major following and tons of users, but again due to the dynamic nature of the web and internet as a whole (including stuff which used to be readily available via FTP), it isn't as easy to find information on some of these as it once was. 5284:
The discussion here should be what are the inclusion criteria; following the lead of Cnet and Lifehacker is going to cause a lot of clients to be excluded, and needlessly too. This article is not serving its readers with such a narrow focus. (Mike - retired!)
2343:(The name Gavin Collins is vaguely familiar to me, we have commented in the same discussions a few times. I had no idea that he had been banned. No, I don't think that I am going to get banned for my comments in this talk page. Now, you, on the other hand.....) 863:
Lexein, this is the last time I'll state this. If all you want to do is fight and attack other editors such as myself who disagree with you, then I see no point in attempting to continue to discuss any of this with you. While you and I may not always agree,
4620:
For showing existence? Or for showing the minimum level of notability that we should put it in the list? Yes on the first, no on the second. This is also why LeetIRC should be removed. A database listing from an open source project merely shows existence.
4087:
an independent RS discussing it, for verifiability. Back to the present, we're still agreeing about the need for independent verifiability, aren't we? I mean, several clients are back specifically because of our mutual and cooperative work in that regard.

I think I made it clear that I would abide by group consensus on IRCjr. Getting inclusion criteria here has been a hard battle, balancing Knowledge (XXG)'s requirements for reliable sources and topic-area source availability, quality, and reliability.

Going back to names of authors. If there are other sources that are more secondary, then you should cite those sources. And then you can cite too the primary sources to substantiate the claim, and to provide further verification that the claim is indeed

Limechat sourcing is not sufficient. HydraIRC and nettalk should have sources added to their articles by those familiar with them, or be removed. Several clients do not have entries in every table, but that is maintenance.
