Talk:Context collapse

Other uses of the term?

I've seen other uses of the term "context collapse" which are similar but different in their implications, for example the use of a term that has a specific meaning in one discipline being used out of context in casual speech. For example, https://beesbuzz.biz/blog/3449-The-Dangers-of-Context-Collapse discusses a few different forms of it, such as signals that are valid in one context being used in an invalid way in another context, or phrases like "African-American" taken literally when describing a white person of South African citizenship as a confusing rhetorical device.

Should this differing usage be captured in this article, or is there a better phrase that this should be disambiguated to? Fluffycritter (talk) 20:17, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Edit on effects of context collapse

@Gurkubondinn asked some questions about editting context collapse page and adding a new section that I would like to address here. Originally, this edit has been made by my colleague with whom I am working on a group study project that aims to enhance Wikipedia Pages in the sphere of social psychology for the course in our master's programme. The task is indeed to write a literature review but to make it more plausible for Wikipedia format, that we have tried to do. Editting may sound strange but it may be explained by the fact that English is not our native language (that is why we use the same words for starting new paragraphs). Would you kindly give us some pieces of advice on how to edit this text better rather than deleting it? We would be very grateful for that. Beaveroum2 (talk) 14:20, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

Okay, that makes sense to me. You can probably rework this text to have it included here. But I want to ask, was the text generated by an LLM (such as an AI chatbot using gen AI)? --Gurkubondinn (talk) 14:23, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

No, we didn't use LLM for generating this text Beaveroum2 (talk) 14:34, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

Thats good, and I'll take your word for it. I would rephrase the sentence structure to avoid the use of the "Firstly,", "Secondly,", "Thirdly," and "Finally," phrasings. Leading the sentences like that structures your text more as a dialectic essay, as if you are arguing a point for the reader.

You also repeated a lot of reference definitions. This isn't needed (and can lead to mistakes). Instead you should define each reference once, and then reference that definiton each time you cite the reference. You can read WP:REPEATCITE for how to do that. --Gurkubondinn (talk) 14:43, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for your advice! We will take it into account and update the text. Beaveroum2 (talk) 14:46, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

You're welcome. Feel free to let me know when you've made the edit if you want me to take a look. --Gurkubondinn (talk) 14:49, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

The edit is done! You can take a look now Beaveroum2 (talk) 15:18, 20 December 2025 (UTC)
