Check your wikilinks[edit]

Hi, just a tip: when you edit an article or create an article, you should check your wikilinks before publishing. Your new article Ecobranding has over a dozen wikilinks that go to disambiguation pages when they should link to actual articles. I find it helpful to set Preferences > Gadgets > Appearance > Display links to disambiguation pages in orange as enabled so I can quickly see when one of my links needs to be fixed. Happy editing!

On the promotional nature of your Ecobranding page and other contributions[edit]

Dear Robert Petit,

I have read your Ecobranding page and it appears that it serves promotional rather than informational interests. You present Ecobranding has a graphic and artistic movement when it is only effectively used has a marketing strategy by one single advertising agency, Royalties, whose website directly sends to your Ecobranding page. Advertising agency for which the environment does not appear to be a priority.

All your other contributions also intend to promote Ecobranding not has a "graphic and artistic movement" but as the practice of graphic designer Sylvain Boyer or the advertising agency Royalties with which he now seems to be linked. Your best act of dishonesty must be to have slipped Ecobranding as a 21st century art movement between "Digital art" and "Environmental art" (this one really made me laugh). I invite you to read the page Greenwashing that may help you reconsidering how to define Ecobranding.

Please note that Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion and that paid contributions must be disclosed in some ways. It means that if you are linked in any economic way to an article you write or edit, you must at least notify it on your user page.

I personally think that your Ecobranding page is not relevant to be on Wikipedia, but could eventually become acceptable if it was edited transparently and presented only as what it really is: an attempt by designer Sylvain Boyer to propose more environmental visual identities.

On "the first design initiative of a dark mode UI"[edit]

Hi, I just wanted to inform you that FriendlUi (2018) was not the first initiative to design a dark mode interface since dark mode existed at least since Windows introduced it in Windows Phone 7 back in 2010. Even more so looking at your edit history everything looks like an advertising plug. This considered I'll proceed to revert your edits about FriendlUi.

Enaki (talk • contribs) 13:55, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Enaki, Friendlui is the first concept of dark mode UI for Operating Systen (OS) designed for OLED Screens in aimed to reduce energy consumption.
Friendlui was revealed in February 2018 : https://www.fastcompany.com/90160980/this-brilliant-smartphone-ui-saves-your-battery-and-looks-classy-af
But it's only in novembre 2028n that Google launch the dark mode UI for OS and confirms dark mode is a huge help for battery life on Android : https://www.theverge.com/2018/11/8/18076502/google-dark-mode-android-battery-life
Ecobranding is an open source method but also a design agency, where do you see advertising?
Robert Petit (talk • contribs)


Hi Robert, I said it looks like an advertising because all your edits are directly connected to a commercial entity, it may just be an impression though.
As mentioned, Windows Phone 7 dates back to 2010 and as per this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Phone_7 wiki article and relative source "The default Windows Phone user interface has a dark theme that prolongs battery life on OLED screens as fully black pixels don't emit light."
This implies Friendui was not the first example of this and is not the more relevant. Do you agree with this?
Enaki (talk) 17:52, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Enaki, I'm a little disappointed with this because the article doesn't indicate that Windows Phone 7 will be in dark mode with OLED, the article only makes suppositions "This may have been a slip on his part, because it assumes that all Windows Phone 7 devices will have OLED screens. LED screens would still use power to display blacks, as the backlight is always on. It seems from his answer that Microsoft may push all WP7S device makers to use OLED.".

The dark mode you mentioned existed for window phone 7, but most window phone 7 screens were not OLED screens but LCD screens that had no ecological impact. Friendlui does not say that it is the first dar mode interface, of course there have been many others before, but friendlui is perhaps the first dark mode interface concept designed for OLED displays to reduce power consumption. And it was only at the end of 2018 that Google's engineers would have noticed that the dark mode OLED was much more ecological

"From what Brix said, the reason Microsoft decided to use a lot of dark backgrounds is because they use less power, thereby increasing battery life." WP7 default dark mode was designed to reduce power consumption in devices where black pixel consume less and to work normally in lcd displays. How is FriendUI different in this?
