main purpose

The network is used to collect information about users, as well as spying on them, including audio recording, video, correspondence, etc .. This is main. At the moment, it is the main purpose. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.106.6.92 (talk) 07:37, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Request for citations in 7.3 - Social networking and entertainment

"The Internet has been a major outlet for leisure activity since its inception, with entertaining social experiments such as MUDs and MOOs being conducted on university servers, and humor-related Usenet groups receiving much traffic. Today, many Internet forums have sections devoted to games and funny videos. Over 6 million people use blogs or message boards as a means of communication and for the sharing of ideas." I would like to see at least one citation for each of those three sentences. Has the internet truly been a major outlet[...]? Can we see at least one or two examples of the alleged "entertaining social experiments"? How much is "much traffic"? How many is "many Internet forums"? What are "funny videos"? Where does the "over 6 million people" figure come from? 190.230.112.222 (talk) 09:24, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Request for update in reference to Berdal, S.R.B. (2004). "Public deliberation on the Web: A Habermasian inquiry into online discourse". Oslo: University of Oslo.

Internet vs The Internet

Should this be "Internet or "The Internet"? I feel like "The Internet" is better because it is normally used in reference, like "The Internet here is really good" or "The Internet is used around the world." Which is better, or should I WP:BEBOLD and do it?TheGoldenParadox (talk) 20:40, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This has come up before. Wwwhatsup (talk) 22:13, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but I am talking about the name of the article itself. In the discussion, the final consensus was that "The Internet" was better. Would it be better as a page title? TheGoldenParadox (talk) 02:41, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No. Because we don't use "The" in page titles unless the "The" is actually part of the name of the subject of the article. Please read up on definite and indefinite articles. -Coolcaesar (talk) 04:32, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Coolcaesar is probably correct on this. Look at other articles, like Earth. When speaking we say "the Earth" but encyclopedia articles dispense with "the" in titles as unnecessary. Majoreditor (talk) 06:09, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Internet

I think is not really useful to me because they didn't mention how to make internet more secured. Hackers can be get private information if the internet is not secured. In addition, they should be tell us how to let internet system be security and make people's private information to be safe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 8.41.197.223 (talk) 02:40, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That's outside of the scope of the Wikipedia project. Please review WP:NOT. --Coolcaesar (talk) 21:09, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 31 May 2017, NTIA no longer has a say in IANA-matters

Change the following since it is no longer true: The National Telecommunications and Information Administration, an agency of the United States Department of Commerce, continues to have final approval over changes to the DNS root zone.[1][2][3] Suggested new formulation: The National Telecommunications and Information Administration, an agency of the United States Department of Commerce, had final approval over changes to the DNS root zone until the IANA stewardship transition on the 1st of October 2016.[4][5][6]

Semi-protected edit request on 7 June 2017

Please change "The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that use the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link devices worldwide." to "The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that use a Internet protocol suite to link devices worldwide." because if a Postal Network is original Internet (physical transportation network of networks) and if it is digitized connecting Digital Mailboxes(devices like WI-FI) worldwide using different protocol like say IPsec, it still needs to fall under Internet category. Bkammela (talk) 16:49, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: IPsec is a development of original IP so IPSec connected devices are still covered by the definition. Changing the article from "the" to "an" does not change substance of the definition. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 20:54, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Overarching"?

In the final, 4th paragraph of the lead, should "overreaching definitions of the two principal name spaces" instead read "overarching"? Nihil novi (talk) 21:16, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lead edits

@Power~enwiki: With respect to these changes, I appreciate the initiative to edit down the Internet lead. Did you check to see if any of the material you deleted was potentially useful to Internet § History, History of the Internet or History of the World Wide Web? ~Kvng (talk) 17:53, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fairly sure everything is in Internet § History. I didn't check the other two pages. Power~enwiki (talk) 21:21, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

First use of the term 'Internet'

Vintage S-1000 Portable AM Radio - 'Internet' Brand Transistor Radio

1970 Transistor Radio. First verifiable commercial use of the term 'Internet' I can date with photos of my 9th birthday. (Born 1961) I had the first 'internet'. I coveted to this radio in a shop in 1970 but I remember it for sale at least six months earlier, because I had to save up for it.
