Disambiguation link notification for November 27

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of University of Chicago Press journals, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Speculum. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 05:59, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

IF updates

Hi, thanks for updating so many IFs! One request though. I noticed that you only update the infobox, but in many journal articles the IF is also mentioned in the body of text with reference. This should also be updated (including the reference - see my user page for the currently correct reference). Thanks again for your contributions! --Randykitty (talk) 17:25, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Randykitty: Thank you for your valuable input. I will keep in mind for future IF edits and will try to fish back the journals which needs text edit. Thank you once again. Looking forward to learn from you! Nanosci (talk) 16:01, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Optics Continuum

The article Optics Continuum has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable journal. Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Optics Continuum

Hi, you entered an impact factor for this journal, but as far as I can see, it is not indexed by Clarivate, neither under the current name, nor under the old one. --Randykitty (talk) 22:57, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Randykitty: Firstly, Wishing you a very joyous and blissful 2022! :-) As fas as, I can see on the webpage of the journal it shows the IF. Link. Also, this is a renamed journal of OSA (now known as Optica), which is highly referred fraternity of optics journals. Since, I am very new to this editing your guidance and support in the matter is sincerely appreciated. I will love to learn more from you. Feel free to correct me if I am mistaken. Looking forward to future guidance from you in this matter. Nanosci (talk) 23:22, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

• Ah, I see. That's not an IF but a new metric, the "Journal Citation Indicator". They say it comes from the JCR, but Clarivate's Master journal list does not list this journal (I tried searching for the ISSN and both the previous and current journal names). On their metrics page, they don't list this journal. It's likely a mistake or, in the best case, it's included in ESCI, but the master journal list is not yet updated. In either case, it's not enough for notability, so I think this is a case of WP:TOOSOON. Being published by a reputed publisher is no guarantee that a journal will survive (there's a small non-exhaustive list of fizzled journals on my user page) and the fact that the society thought it necessary to "reboot" the journal is not a good sign. What you can do is saving a copy of the article and re-create it if it gets included in Scopus or one of the Clarivate databases (except ESCI). And finally, also my very best wishes for a Happy and Healthy 2022 to you, too! Keep up the good work! --Randykitty (talk) 08:45, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

• Hello @Randykitty: Thank you so much for your guidance. I am now starting to understand the process. I see your point of TooSoon, however I have seen journals with much lower notability has Wikipage. So I thought it might only be fair to give sometime before deleting the page. Can you please go through my edit summary and let me know what you think? I am not married to any one school of thoughts. So this is just my learning experience. I look forward to learning more from you. Thank you :) Nanosci (talk) 03:31, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

• Hi, first of all a side remark: before a new journal is included in any Clarivate indexes or Scopus, usually a few years pass. This journal didn't make things easier for themselves by basically starting all over: not just a new title but also re-starting volume numbering thereby ensuring that the previous years will not be considered for indexing and the journal will be handled as if it was started just this year. But the main issue that I have is with the rest of your edit summary: "Since it was just launched in Jan 2022, it might be few months to be included in Scopus and Clarivate databases. I will keep a close watch on the database and journal's notability. However, I think we should give it due time before decision of deletion." This is doing things upside down. We don't create articles saying "it's not notable now, but who knows how it'll be a few years from now..." Instead, we only create an article if a subject is now. This journal is decidedly not notable: it's not included in any database, let alone the selective databases that WP:NJournals requires, nor are there any independent sources discussing this journal in depth, so this also misses WP:GNG. I'm sorry, but I'll have to take it to WP:AfD. Meanwhile, there are literally thousands of very notable journals that have no articles, why don't you concentrate on those avoiding all the waste of editors' time that deletion processes entail... --Randykitty (talk) 18:12, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

• Hello @Randykitty: Firstly, thank you for your valuable time and guidance. My apologies if you felt annoyed, it was never the intention. Thanx for the relevant policies to refer before making a page. I will read up on them and will contribute to the Afd discussion page after gaining better insights into these policies. I hope you understand that as a relatively new user I am still trying to get a hang on the different policies. Looking forward to interacting with you and learning from you. Thank you! :) Nanosci (talk) 20:16, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

COI

I notice you've done an editing spree on NRC journals. Nothing in particular wrong with that, but do keep in mind WP:JWG#COI. If you do have a COI, it needs to be disclosed, otherwise you could end up being blocked. And if you don't have a COI, then you can ignore this. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 01:06, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Headbomb: Greetings! To my best knowledge, that issue has been resolved and the journal page has been redirected (in other words the page I created was deleted and that was turned into a redirect). The AFO discussion page is closed. Let me know if I misunderstood it. Also, thank you for drawing my attention to towards rules regarding COI. Looking forward to learn more from all of you. Thank you :) Cheers, Nanosci (talk) 01:14, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Not talking about Optics Continuum above, just that oftentimes we see employees of publishers maintaining the publisher's portfofilo on Wikipedia. Maybe that's you, maybe that's not you. If it's you, disclose it and that's more or less that, and if you stick to WP:JWG's advice you'll rarely if ever land in hot water. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 04:30, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello @Headbomb: Oh like that! No, definitely not! :D Actually I am updating all sorts of scientific journals. You are more than welcome to see my edit contributions. Thank you for looking out for me! :) Cheers, Nanosci (talk) 05:33, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Carry on then! Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 12:36, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Need to delete a wrongful redirect

Greetings, @Randykitty:, @Headbomb:, @Materialscientist:, @Rosguill: I want to learn how to delete a redirect, created in error? Is it something an editor (like me) can do or it has to be done by an administrator only? It was pure unintentional error. Thank you once again. Looking forward to learn from you! Nanosci (talk) 21:39, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

You can tag it with {{db-r3}} (or some other {{db}} template, like {{db-g7}}) and someone will take care of it. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 21:42, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

@Headbomb:, thank you. :-) Nanosci (talk) 21:56, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:2DMaterialsCover.gif

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:2DMaterialsCover.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 11:45, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi @B-bot:, As far as I can see it shows it will be used in 2D Materials on the file page. However, I was waiting for it to be approved as it says pending approval on the File:2DMaterialsCover.gif page. I will like to know the appropriate process of inserting a cover page image on the scientific journal pages. Any and all guidance is sincerely appreciated. Thank you! ~ Nanosci (talk) 13:46, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

Just tagging User:B for further guidance. Thank you! :) ~ Nanosci (talk) 15:02, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
