Articles on academic journals

edit

Hi, I see you are back. Could you please have a look at the WikiProject Academic Journals Writing Guide and the guideline for notability for academic journals? It would save everybody a lot of time and effort if you could, for example, refrain from creating articles on non-notable journals and use the appropriate infobox (Journals, not Magazines) when creating articles on academic journals. Thanks. --Crusio (talk) 14:13, 12 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

  • PS: please also refrain from inserting links to Berghahn Books and Berghahn Journals in each and every article. This is considered spamming and is what got your previous account blocked. By continuing this practice, you risk getting blocked again. --Crusio (talk) 14:19, 12 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Sorry Crusio, mine is only unexperience, I dont wanna make mistakes. I didn't have other accounts. Also, about the appropriate infobox, I thought you were working on it, I mean you were replacing the wrong template with the right model. If you want me to do it, please give me time. About notability, as you know your criteria are quite strict, but I am creating content for journals with an international distribution, and with a wide academic reference. thanks.

  • Well, that's why I try to communicate with you, so that you can improve your editing, why would I want to spend my time changing things that you could easier have done to start with? That's a waste of your time (spent adding incorrect infoboxes) and my time (spent replacing them with the correct ones). As for the notability requirements, you can ignore those at your won peril. It may just lead to the articles being deleted, again unnecessary work for you and others. I also suggest that as a Berghahn employee, you're perhaps not the best placed to judge the notability of your own journals. Thanks. --Crusio (talk) 15:11, 12 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
I would like to join Crusio in inviting you to review both WikiProject Academic Journals Writing Guide and the guideline for notability for academic journals. Many newcomers like to practice writing articles in their userspace (at some place like User:Paoloxford/Journal of Potatoes) and ask for feedback at WT:JOURNALS, this way it saves everyone a lot of trouble.

Berghahn Books

edit

Do you work for this company? I notice you starting a lot of articles on journals from this company. I am not sure many of them are notable and may send them to our deletion process shortly. --Cameron Scott (talk) 09:38, 13 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

I think you should forgive me if I wrote contributions with mistakes, im just learning how to use wikipedia but im trying to respect all the rules.

Scopus

edit

Hi, you (and an anonymous IP, I guess you forgot to login) have been adding Scopus to the indexing services of several journals of your company. However, Scopus is not listed on the journals' homepages. What is your source for this addition? --Crusio (talk) 09:52, 14 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

You're right, but they told me the homepages will be updated asap. Thanks Paoloxford (talk) 10:05, 14 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
Then you should wait until they are updated before adding the info here. --Crusio (talk) 10:08, 14 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

See the journals homepage. They are updated now. Paoloxford (talk) 12:00, 15 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Historical Reflections

The article Historical Reflections has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

no evidence of notability

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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.

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not replace pages with blank content, as you did with this edit to Talk:Nature and Culture (journal), as this is confusing to readers. The page's content has been restored for now. If there is a problem with the page, it should be edited or reverted to a previous version if possible; if you think the page should be removed entirely, see further information. Thank you.

Journal articles, again.

edit

Please read the guide for creating journal articles. Please review the corrections that I have made to your articles and avoid making the same errors over and over again (e.g., linking to journal, which is a disambiguation page, or indicating for each and every journal that it's discipline is "area studies", even if it clearly isn't). Please do not copy material directly from the journals' homepages. To see why this is important, have a look at the talkpage of KeepM. Despite my protestations, all articles created by that editor were speedily deleted (and the editor blocked). Your articles are not any better than KeepM's, so you should realize that I'm not here to harass you but to make sure that as many notable journals as possible are covered in WP in a neutral, encyclopedic manner. Continue as you have been doing up till now and you'll run the risk to be treated like KeepM if some editor who's less patient or tolerant happens by here. --Crusio (talk) 15:11, 3 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi Crusio, thanks for the message. I tried to create and/or modify some of the articles following your instructions,and I saw that some of them seem to be accepted..I just added another articles today and I am sorry if I made some mistakes..Paoloxford (talk) 15:19, 3 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

  • There is not such a thing on WP as an article being "accepted". Articles can be deleted for any reason years after they were created. The only insurance is to create solid articles that are neutral and sourced. --Crusio (talk) 16:01, 3 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Ok, I just wanted to say that the 'notability' and 'neutrality' issue seem to have desappeared on some contributions, e.g. several journals pages. Regarding this, would it be possible to have a reply in this talk page? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Berghahn_Books Thanks! Paoloxford (talk) 12:38, 4 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
