User talk:Joseph.tobin

Dear Joe,

We appreciate your adding new journal pages to WP, as there are many thousand deserving academic journal that aren't yet included. Butt here is a certain minimum of content that needs to be edited to prevent those people who don't understand academic journals: name and institution of the editor in chief--major indexes that include it / relation to other important journals or organizations , and, of course, the ISSN.

And, because WP ha some peculiar customs In particular, the article should contain in the first line something that says in plain language that it is notable: for example

an important journal / a notable journal / a nationally recognized journal /
- an international journal / an internationally recognized journal (if the content & editorial board are indeed international)
- the major journal in ... (if true) /

Best wishes, and may you add many more. If there's any help you need, just ask on my talk page DGG 22:50, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Joe, the ones you've been adding in the last few days really need fuller description, or those who don't recognize the importance of academic journals will possibly try to delete them. At the very least, they need the name and institutional affiliation of the editor in chief, with links around the name of the university. There should also be links [ ] around every important subject term. If it is sponsored by an organization, say so. If it's indexed in major indexes say so. Please give both print and electronic ISSNs, state frequency of publication, and at the bottom add the new category Journals published by the University of California Press and also University of California Press. (or whatever publisher) I can't do it all myself.

and another thing--it would help if you are able to have the publisher give us copyright permission under GFDL to use material from the journal web pages and the picture of the cover. Please follow the rules in WP:Copyright for doing this--say it on the page, and confirm by letter or email as specified. It will be much better if you add only those which you have time to fully document.

License tagging for Image:Asrc.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Asrc.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Notability of Symbolic Interaction (journal)

A tag has been placed on Symbolic Interaction (journal) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Corvus cornix 22:37, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Probably notable, like most peer reviewed journals--and they cannot be speedied as non-notable in any case. The copyvio has been removed. But there is additional information to add. DGG (talk) 04:24, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please pay attention

You cannot add pages the way you have been doing. We have given you advice at the top of the page here how to do it, and we expect that you will follow it. You cannot copy pages from the UC Press web site onto WP for two reasons `1/it is a copyright violation , and 2/ even if you were to obtain permission, it does not provide the appropriate information to show notability please read WP:BFAQ which explains the situation Please get in touch with me for any questions. Please feel free to email me from my user pageDGG (talk) 04:24, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you continue to add material that appears in violation of copyright, you will surely be blocked; if you continue to add inadequate articles out of apparent CCOI you will be blocked.

If you continue to add inadequate material, it will surely be deleted. Give at least the name and institutional affiliation of the editor in cheif, the date of beginning publication, and the inclusion in major indexing services. If it is published by a society, try to add a page for the society. Add the Journal infobox. as given on [1] to every article and fill in the pertinent material. If you want to add something really useful, add a thumbnail of the journal cover to aid in identification. You will not be doing your job if the material is deleted, and I am not going to run around after you fixing them for you to prevent it. I am trying to help these journals stay in. Fix what you have done before you do any more.DGG (talk) 04:24, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Some help with regard to academic journal articles

I would advise you to take quite some time carefully reading Wikipedia:WikiProject Academic Journals and WP:Conflict of interest before further editing any articles on journals and related topics. There are many people here willing to help someone working in good faith. --Orange Mike 18:51, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

welcome

Glad you see your acknowledgment on my talk page. Here are some additional hints:

It would probably be worthwhile to read some of the general information about Wikipedia. You might want to start with Wikipedia:Your first article, and then WP:GUIDE
On talk pages, sign your name and date using four tildes, like ~~~~.
Remember to use the Show preview button before you save.
If you want someone to take a look at a article you have just written--ask. You can also email me & most users here from the "Email this user" link at the right of the screen. Consider going to your User Preferences panel and enabling your own email.
It would be a very good idea to examine some pages fo other journals. To see a list of some selected titles,, go to List of scientific journals; for more, see Category:Academic journals. DGG (talk) 23:48, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WIKIPEDIA MOVES QUICKLY

While we been discussing it , at least on of the journals you added has been nominated for deletion, and I've tried to fix it up as a rush job. there is quite a lot of overhead in organising the rescue of articles on an emergency basis--and see them nominated makes people look for more. I can not emphasis enough the extreme importance of fixing the existing articles *immediately*--WP works on a 24 hour 7 day schedule. Not only will articles get speedy-deleted in 5 minutes if they are marked for copyright violation, but even when brought up for discussion they go in 5 days. The dynamics of this is that the most important comments are in the first 24 hours. I cannot spend this weekend fixing all the CalUP articles for you--but if any are still left by Monday, upgrade them immediately. And get in touch with me by email from my user page.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Asrc.jpg}

Thank you for uploading Image:Asrc.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.
