It's pretty cool, but the text sizing seems odd - all of the text labels are so small that to read it, I need to zoom in so far I can't really see the graph anymore. Everything seems to be on some sort of astronomical scale. For example, my first test is "bulldog". Now the entire "bulldog" cluster of links is shown as a bundle that overlaps on the "ull" of the word. At the other end of the scale, to fit the entire graph of bundles on the screen (from Bulldog (disambiguation) to tr:Buldok (anlam ayrim)), I need to zoom out so far that no text is readable at all. It doesn't seem helpful to place these nodes so far apart, and to create orders of magnitudes of difference in scaling between article labels and these clusters labels. Also, it would be nice in the documentation if there were suggestions for how to use it. We are not all seasoned interwiki surfers :) Some examples of "look for X, then do Y" would be great. And of course, being able to click on an article and have it retrieve the article text for comparison would be very useful. Steve

Steve Bennett yazmış: I don't know about others, but for me this is not a spam, but a very valuable feedback. Keep spamming ;) Now to the point. It is not a wrong recommendation, rather a poor way of communicating an observation. These recommendations are due to the fact, that there's already [[:gl:Güiana Francesa - Guyane française]] connected to the "French Guiana" group, and the latter has stronger connections (in both directions). This is actually a "merge" pattern. More on this in the next paragraph. The Arabic article close to "Guyana" is outside, because there's another Arabic article inside, which has even stronger ties with the group, so this is actually a "merge" pattern. If my pattern-detection heuristics were a bit smarter, they would paint the outsider's links green. Hint: in "merge" patterns, the other article in the same language usually appears somewhere on the opposite side of the group. This is because node placement is simple mechanics, with harmonic potential (trying to keep a fixed distance for each link) and repulsive potential (trying to separate same-language articles as much as possible). Addressing your remark from the previous mail: it is difficult to find a balance between the harmonic and repulsive potentials. When the harmonic is too powerful, then the different clusters are too close together and the cluster labels overlap. When the repulsive is too strong, then one observes the astronomical distances, as you've put it. My hint here: after Ctrl-A, when you realize that the distances are too big, do the following: 1) go to the Positions dialog, press Seed 2) open the dialog again and calculate positions with a lower (try 10 times lower) "Repulsive potential constant" I couldn't agree more. This is what kills the performance the most. Ultimately, I'd like to replace the clusters of gray links with gray polygons (perhaps a bit lighter gray). I should also change the "layering" so that the gray polygons are behind cluster labels and thus the labels are readable. Thanks again for all your comments! Regards, Bolo
