"data recognition"

Welcome to Wikipedia! I redirected your "data recognition" article to Optical character recognition, since I think that it contains more information, and is the more common name for the topic. Also, Wikipedia topics generally aren't placed in quotation marks, even if they refer to a phrase. Please let me know if you feel that this is an inappropriate redirection.

Data recognition and optical character recognition are slightly different. OCR normally refers to recognition of specific fonts (OCR-A, OCR-B etc) designed to make recognition as easy and accurate as possible. Over the past few years, development of data recognition software has advanced to the stage where there are viable applications that read almost any font including handwriting, and extract data with a very degree of accuracy. Hence, I have no problem with data recognition being grouped with optical character recognition, as long as the differences are explained. I suspect it might be slightly better to have them as separate articles, linked by cross-reference perhaps. --Kywong73 06:52, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed your article and the two images and thought I'd have a go at improving the contrast and brightness on your cave photo Image:IMG 0146.jpg. I hope you don't mind - if so, please let me know. Regards -- Ian ≡ talk 14:19, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

New Challenge for Oceania and Australia

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest!
