Suggest we rename the section The method structure to The method applicability — Preceding unsigned comment added by Colinrhammond (talk • contribs) 12:06, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Or just remove it. MOS:LAYOUT states that short sections are not necessary and makes reading more difficult. Walter Görlitz (talk) 16:27, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template messages seem to be all solved. Please advise if we can also delete notability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frankvogelezang (talk • contribs) 13:39, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

CoI

Based on Frankvogelezang (talk · contribs)'s user page, he is the president of the company. I understand now. Walter Görlitz (talk) 16:57, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for expecting you to be a mind reader. In addition to the editor COI, it looks to me like most (all?) of the sources currently used are connected. For example the Auerbach publications source is written by the chair of Cosmic's executive committee. - MrOllie (talk) 17:14, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The community on Functional Size Measurement, of which the COSMIC method is part, is a small community and those who are willing to publish on Wikipedia are an even smaller group, so CoI is hard to evade. To avoid the possible bias I will submit further changes via a request on this page and declare the CoI on this page. COSMIC is an open method, freely accessible and usable by any software professional who wants to do so and my position is unpaid. Frank Vogelezang (talk) 21:21, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not hard to avoid at all. First, do not edit the article directly. Make suggestions here and let third-party editors add it or make requests to modify your suggested content. That would go a long way. Second, don't use content sourced to your site. Find secondary sources, whether that's journals or others who are unaffiliated with your company.

Some proposed changes

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at COSMIC functional size measurement. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Information to be added: The COSMIC method is recognized as ISO Standard ISO/IEC 19761 [1]. This is an important secondary source that is missing from the article. Can someone without CoI add this reference? Frank Vogelezang (talk) 21:58, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
