Hello, there was an article on Story-driven modelling (with two l) which is the british spelling. The modeling technique it is about uses the american spelling Story-driven modeling with one l. Thus I have created a new article and copied the old content and changed the old article to become a redirection to the new article. Is this OK?

By the way: I should flag a conflict of interest. I have been involved in the development of the Story-Driven modeling approach. Its not just me, but a bunch of people involved. Its the result of 15 years of scientific work in the area of software engineering with about 100 people involved. I stepped on the articles on agile modeling and object-oriented modeling and felt that an article on Story-driven modeling is missing and I felt that I am the best fit for writing it.

I tried to be as neutral as I could.

Shall I try to find some independent co-authors to review / rewrite the article?

People will review it eventually. I'm not familiar with this methodology although I'm familiar with OO methods and agile quite a bit. I don't mean that I'm challenging this. To start with though I'm going to change the first sentence. Saying it's an "improvement to object oriented methodologies" is too general and too grandiose a statement, it may be better than OO for certain kinds of development but to just say it's and improvemnet, especially since it's hardly a common term in IT and hasn't supplanted things like RUP for most development, is claiming too much and not neutral I think.

This sounds reasonable to me. Thanks for the improvement. 12 January 2014 Azuendorf — Preceding unsigned comment added by Azuendorf (talk • contribs) 14:49, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Now that I've looked at the article a bit more I take issue with the comparison to "Object modeling techniques" I changed the first sentences to be less POV, to not say that story modeling is an improvement to OO but even as it stands now I don't agree with it. The defacto standard for OO modeling is the Rational Unified Process which absolutely does include use cases so the distinction in this article is wrong IMO.

This Just Looks like Use Cases to me

Isn't this just another name for Use Case modeling? If so it should be merged with this article: Use-case analysis MadScientistX11 (talk) 03:07, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I commented on this on the discussion of the merge proposal. For completeness, I site the argument here again:

SDM and Use-case analysis are not the same and should not be mixed or merged. Use-case analysis is a pretty informal step in e.g. the Rational Unified Process RUP. SDM is a much more technical approach that targets object oriented models. SDM uses a different kind of scenarios that is much more detailed and a different kind of derivation step to come up with an object model. Actually, the SDM people hate use cases and they hate to be mixed with them. Azuendorf 5.03.2014 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Azuendorf (talk • contribs) 13:39, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Issues from February 2014

This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (February 2014) This article is written like a personal reflection or opinion essay rather than an encyclopedic description of the subject. (February 2014)

Hm, you are right. It is a little bit like an essay. I thougt this is a feature not a bug. To help the reader to understand the term, I have the experience that an example helps most. This results in the epic style. Thus, I argue that the usual "encyclopedic description" style is bad and that the epic style does a better job in explaining the term.

Well, you are again right, there are little inline references. This is partly caused by the epic style giving an example.

I will try to improve this. Let me think. Azuendorf 5.3.2014 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Azuendorf (talk • contribs) 13:46, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
