Conflict of interest and corporate username

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this:

1. You may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
2. Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guideline to avoid editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is being used only for spamming or advertising. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

Advice

I frequently work with tarticles on journals, and I do not think what you were entering is spam or promotional, but informative. However, you do need to change to another user name, as only individual may edit here & take responsibility for what they do. When you select your new name, say whom you represent on the user page to avoid confusion. COI is discouraged, but it is possible to edit properly even so. I am not sure all the journals are notable by our standards, but at least Annals of African Medicine is. Let me give you some guidance about content:

Based on what is generally accepted here, an article about a journal should contain:

1. Fulll titles, earlier titles used, and the corresponding dates. Make cross references from any variant titles.
2. Standard abbreviations used--make redirects from them.
3. publishing & sponsoring body, as well as earlier publishers and corresponding dates
4. availability on line
5. no. of articles published a year
6. ISSNs for both print and online versions
7. Online availability of current and earlier issues
8. Open access availability, if relevant.
9. Circulation (sourced somewhere--default place to get it is Ulrichs)
10. coverage in major standard indexes, inclding particularly Scopus and Web of Science (Science Citation Index)
11. latest year's impact factor if available, and rank in the JCR subject field(s). Include the year so it can be updated.
12. any actual references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases.
13. a list of the 3 or 4 most influential articles similarly, getting citation figures from Web of Science.
14. External links to the journal's main web site, and , if relevant, the main website of the sponsoring body.

It should not contain

1. General information listing all the fields covered, unless it is not obvious from the title
2. Statements of praise for the journal -- see WP:PEACOCK
3. A list of those on the editorial board
4. names of the staff, except editors in chief; subordinate or section editors should not usually be listed.
5. Information about subscription prices
6. Information about how to submit articles
7. Links to the publisher's general website, or to subpages within the journal's site.
8. and, most important, it must contain no text from the web page description of the journal. That is a copyright violation, and needs to be rewritten. Even if you are prepared to donate copyright according to WP:DCM, it is likely to be unsuitably promotional.

Please read our FAQ about organisations, and articles like this, and for more specific information our Wikipedia:WikiProject Academic Journals/Writing guide. As it specifies there, the best way to start is by using the infobox journal template; but also convert the information there to prose.

If I can help you further, ask me. DGG ( talk ) 17:52, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
