unsure of correction to make

edit

"features of the Web were is better than" That isn't correct grammar on the page, not sure what it was supposed to say.

wikipedia is correct

edit

i cannot understand anything in this article. i think it requires cleanup by somebody who knows anything about this.

Something more like this perhaps...

Cross-referencing is merely a way of linking one article or text to another in such a way that it is easy to find the other piece of work. Cross-referencing is usually employed to either verify claims made by an author or to link to another piece of work that is of particular interest. Wikipedia uses this principal to create its vast interlinking article database.


References

edit

I think this article lacks references (without the oozing irony). Can someone add some references, or even explain why a word definition takes up its own article? It would be nice to see everything neatly sourced! Thanks. Also, until this, someone should add in the unref tag. Josh Froelich 04:33, 16 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

First Sentence

edit

It is now: A cross-reference (noun) is an instance within a document of referring to information elsewhere (either within the same work or in a separate work).

It would be better without the "of":

A cross-reference (noun) is an instance within a document ***of*** referring to information elsewhere (either within the same work or in a separate work).

Then it would be:

A cross-reference (noun) is an instance within a document referring to information elsewhere (either within the same work or in a separate work).

What do you think?

Wikification

edit

Is wikification a type of cross-referencing? 142.167.191.52 (talk) 01:55, 19 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

move to wiktionary

Hi. This article is basically a set of definitions for a term, therefore I propose it would be better suited to Wiktionary than Wikipedia. Also, it would be nice if the huge unreferenced slabs of computing jargon could be improved. Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 04:30, 17 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

this article links to KWIC and KWOC. The KWOC article is about a radio station and says

"For the Key Word Out of Context concordance line format, see Key Word in Context." (= it links back to the same KWIC article).

In the KWIC article "KWOC" is not mentioned.

Basically, i guess KWOC is not covered in Wikipedia — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.212.252.226 (talk) 09:43, 28 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
