Hi Headbomb.

Would you be willing to take a look at this page pending for publish?

Unreliable website to be added

To User:Headbomb/unreliable.js - Blogcritics, see discussion at Talk:Stonewielder linking to some RSN discussions. Right now your script doesn't label this as unreliable. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:37, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bad publisher?

You seem to be an expert on sus journals and publishers--just from the website of this guy, I'm suspicious, but does this seem like a trustworthy paper to you? http://pubs.sciepub.com/ajcea/3/5/2/index.html BhamBoi (talk) 05:37, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@BhamBoi: sciepub (Science and Education Publishing) is a predatory publisher, don't use that. See also WP:UPSD, which would highlight it in red for predatory. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 12:58, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'll check it out. BhamBoi (talk) 14:36, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Something to be on the lookout for

https://doij.org/ An Indian publisher decided that they should just establish their own DOI system. So far I found only one on EN wiki and removed it, but really weird. Some things are too odd not to share with someone. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 16:29, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weird... I'll look out for those. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 16:38, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Code4Lib Journal

Hi, regarding this edit: it's in-depth but not independent, because Carol Bean is involved with this journal (you have to do a Google search to see this). --Randykitty (talk) 09:37, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you claim that Dr. Hansson is not a notable person?

Headbomb removed my addition of Johan Hansson as a notable person, because Headbomb claims that Dr. Hansson needs an article to be notable. But, a criteria for notability states: "The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level." Dr. Hansson won honorable mention from the Gravity Research Foundation in 2023, which is a highly prestigious academic award. Gravity Research Foundation Dr. Hansson has met the criteria for notability. What say you Headbomb? ScooterMcGruff (talk) 10:59, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a look at the website of that foundation here, that will put this "highly prestigious academic award" in perspective. An "honorable mention" is not an award, least of all a "highly prestigious academic award" as required by WP:PROF. --Randykitty (talk) 11:38, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Every prize will describe themselves as highly prestigious. It's a 4000$ prize for an essay. I've had bigger awards as a high school student. And Hansson didn't even get it. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 11:42, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The Gravity Research Foundation honor is prestigious among physicists researching gravity. The honor has been previously given to Nobel prize winners. The wiki page on the Gravity Research Foundation says as much: Gravity Research Foundation - Wikipedia. The University of Arizona also said this is a prestigfous award: 'The Noise of Gravitons': ASU physicists win prestigious award for gravity research | ASU News " ScooterMcGruff (talk) 11:48, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Again, every university will describe every prize any of their staff gets as prestigious. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 11:50, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

An honorable mention is an "honor" under the notability criteria mentioned above. It does not have to be an "award," because an "honor" also meets the criteria. ScooterMcGruff (talk) 11:43, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It fails the criteria by about 20,000 miles. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 11:44, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
How so? It meets the criteria that ""The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level." Dr. Hansson received a highly prestigious honor from the Gravity Research Foundation, which is at the national level. You're just wrong. ScooterMcGruff (talk) 11:50, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
