== Any policy against Product Placement? ==

Line 6 ⟶ 9:

Wikipaedia articles suffer from a lot of non-notable people's names inserted into articles as academic references: could we please have a policy against product placement, such as showing Starbucks in an unrelated article (especially one which appears on the front page?

:Non-notable people's names inserted into articles? They're simply the authors of the publications which have been used as references. Also, I don't see a particular problem with using Starbucks in an example. I'm simply using the same example as the one given in the scientific publication and besides that, it is a well-known coffee shop. If I have an example about someone who "wants to buy fast food", should I avoid mentioning [[McDonald's]]? It just gives the article some flavor rather than "to visit a fast food restaurant". Suggesting another policy for this type of trivialities is what drives new people away from Wikipedia. Let me be clear that I am against obvious advertising but I don't see a problem with using well-known names in examples. - [[User:Simeon|Simeon]] ([[User talk:Simeon|talk]]) 00:27, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

:If we do introduce a policy for it, what purpose would it serve? For those cases where someone is pushing their own company/product? We already have policies for that, in the same way that we have policies against linkspamming your own website. - [[User:Simeon|Simeon]] ([[User talk:Simeon|talk]]) 00:27, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

== Difference between preference-based planning problems and weighted constraint satisfaction problems? ==

Well ... how do problems in preference-based planning differ from [[weighted constraint satisfaction problem]]s? —[[User:Kri|Kri]] ([[User talk:Kri|talk]]) 21:58, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

:I think it's mainly the area of research: WCSPs are approached as a CSP with their algorithms and techniques whereas preference-based planning is more about planning a sequence of actions that satisfies preferences. So a WCSP is solved best (according to the constraints) based on its evaluation and a planning problem with preferences is solved best when the planning solution adheres to the preferences as best as possible (according to some formula). So there are similarities but a planning problem (needs sequence of actions) is not necessarily the same as a CSP (needs satisfying solution to constraints). - [[User:Simeon|Simeon]] ([[User talk:Simeon|talk]]) 22:48, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
