Коллеги, всем привет!
Итак, как сегодня выяснили, в англ. Википедии нет статьи про спортивное программирование, хотя для многих людей это хобби, а для кого-то стиль и смысл жизни.
Вот короткая заготовка статьи. Пожалуйста, помогите разрастить и улучшить её. Если знаете как - редактируйте прямо там, если не знаете, пишите здесь, чтобы я (или другие) могли добавить. Давайте полезные и ценные ссылки. Поправьте корявый английский. ;-)
UPD: За прошедшие полсуток доброжелатели решившие остаться неизвестными значимо улучшили текст статьи, хотя добавлять разделы не стали. Я хочу внести ещё два хотя бы: пример условия типичной задачи с типичного контеста, и список из нескольких выдающихся спортсменов.
Для первого нужно чтобы кто-то из авторов/администраторов предложил и разрешил публикацию одной из своих задачек (копирайты оставим). Для второго нужны ссылки (кроме Петра и Геннадия) на какие-либо персональные странички или странички спортсменов уже существующих в википедии. Помогите с этим, плиз.
В помощь тебе: http://lurkmore.to/Спортивное_программирование :). Только нужно отфильтровать идиотизм. Ну и вики http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Олимпиады_по_программированию.
Похоже кто-то "улучшил" перевод" воспользовавшись последним пунктом меню :)
Great idea! Wikipedia might be a great resource to attract new enthusiasts.
I've started the list of notable contestants (with the only articles I knew existed: Petr tourist ) and redirected a link from Mind sports to this article instead of Computer Programming, which I think is less appropiate.
For me, it's important to highlight is the idea that solving means creating a program that solves it completely for you for any possible input. When I explain what I do, people without programming background (the majority of the population) fail to understand this idea.
A possible idea to show this that has served me in the past is sudoku: you explain how you can write a program that tries every possibility until it finds the correct sudoku (there are more efficient ways to do that, but that's not important); it would take several minutes for a human to solve a sudoku but once the program is written it takes less than a second to solve any sudoku.
Another problem that might be useful is shortest-path, since nowadays everyone is familiar with GPS.
Yes, there are some wrong links and redirections. recently I've found that "Programming Challenges" leads to article about some book. I've made redirect to "Competitive Programming" and moved the book-related article to other name.
However probably there are more such nasty links and titles.
According to statistics currently this article still have relatively few visitors daily:
Programming Challenges makes much more sense as the book title than as a redirect to CP, I've never seen someone refer to CP with a generic title such as "programming challenges" before.
The fact that you left completely no link to the book page is terrible. If you do this again in the future, either make "Programming Challenges" a disambiguation page or add a note in the CP article saying "Programming Challenges redirects here, for the book see...". Otherwise someone looking for the book will never be able to find it.
It is not so. I've just renamed the page:
Programming Challenges book
You see it was not full of information.
I also think it is usual convention in Wikipedia to add (song), (book) or (film) to titles which are titles themselves.
I know you did not delete the page, but you made it unreachable unless the person knows the address beforehand.
Take for example Royals (song), if you just access "Royals" you get a page that clearly points to it, so that anyone looking for it can easily find the correct title: Wikipedia:Royals
Well, if you really care of this article you can easily add disambiguation page.
However it would be good if you can expand the stub-orphan page about the book before it. Since it does not look proper to create disambiguation page pointing to the article which contains almost no info and have not been fixed since 2010.
