Your work on World Wide Web[edit]
Hi, Sharon08tam. I seem to be reverting quite a lot of the things you add to the World Wide Web article. I just wanted to say that I don't mean to appear to be being mean to you. A lot of what you have added there recently is just about accurate, but there have always been a few problems with it: Some of what you've said seems very out of date and so only partially true today - for example ignoring the long-standing existence of HTTP 1.1 and of the https protocol. Some of the other things you've said are true, but already covered elsewhere in the article. Other times, you've added something to a section that was written to explain one thing, but what you say goes off that topic and explains something else. I've tried to leave detailed edit messages in the reverts to explain each one.
I haven't been able to track down the source book you reference (Berners-Lee, Tim. "The World-Wide Web". The New Media Reader. The MIT Press), but I'm guessing that it may have been something that TB-L wrote in the very early days of his original WWW project, where he was trying to get others to begin to use the web and to understand its potential. That's historically interesting, but if you want to get up to date with all things web and now Web 2.0, I suggest you get a more recent text, or read stuff that's online today.
Good luck anyway with your work on Wikipedia - I hope you enjoy it here as much as I do. --Nigelj (talk) 09:47, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
