If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced.

R.B. Outhwaite moved to draftspace
editAn article you recently created, R.B. Outhwaite, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Managing a conflict of interest
editHello, Reference editor 1965. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Angelaki, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Randykitty (talk) 09:40, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
Thanks Randykitty, I am not sure what the "we" you refer to yourself as signifies. You are an individual who has taken it upon themselves to edit a modest and reasonably referenced entry on an academic journal of reputation. I am indeed connected to the publication. But I am not sure what "COI" has to do with it, in regard to my reversals of your edit... perhaps it has some connection with your "we": an imagined collective authority that is no authority at all in regard to this article -- you butchered it. Do you not have bigger and better game to go after? However, I accept that it was under-referenced and I have accepted most of your edit. What I will not accept is evident in my reversals and the explanatory notes -- and as I say, I am not sure how you would take issue with any of that with recourse to some "we"-boilerplate about COI. The normal procedure, is it not, is to flag the article as requiring further references, not machete it! Best wishes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reference editor 1965 (talk • contribs)
- The above message is a standard warning template, I'm not responsible for the royal "we", except to say that this is posted in the name of the WP editing community. As for editing "your" article, I edit literally hundreds of articles on academic journals, it's what I specialize in. As for "butchering" the article, I cut stuff that was taken literally from the journal's website and therefore was a copyvio. My edits follow WP policy, guidelines, and common usage. Meanwhile, you'd do well reading the policies and guidelines linked in the above template. --Randykitty (talk) 12:17, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Excellent work Randykitty, you create the link for Pelagia Goulimari in the body text, whilst unaccountably stripping from the page the rest of the lead editors of the journal (why? On what authority?), and then when I -- accepting your edit to the body text! -- create a purely factual page for her and say that I will shortly add references, you propose it for deletion! Is there nothing better you could be doing? Best wishes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reference editor 1965 (talk • contribs)
- Hi, instead of making snarky remarks, you'd do well to read some of the guidelines and policies linked in the template above. Also, I see that this is not the first time that an article that you created was tagged with a BLPPROD notice, so I'd expect that you know what it is. In any case, if an editor sees a new article on a living person that has not a single reliable source, then there is no choice in the matter: such an article must be tagged with a BLPPROD tag. This is policy and must be followed. This policy came about because of several cases of abuse and is designed to protect the subjects of the biographical article. As for those lead editors, per WP:JWG we only list the current and previous editors-in-chief, not associate editors, lead editors, board members, etc., unless there are independent reliable sources that document the involvement of that person with the journal (mostly in case of scandals, when individuals reign to protest something). As for your autobio, as soon as there is at least one independent reliable source, you can remove the BLPPROD tag, but not earlier (as clearly explained in the template message above). Hope this helps. --Randykitty (talk) 12:05, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
