Thank you for uploading File:InnovationMagazineLogo.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. FASTILY_sock^(TALK) 04:03, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have nominated Gene Therapy and Regulation, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gene Therapy and Regulation. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

journals[edit]

Based on what is generally accepted here, an article about a journal should also contain:

1. Fulll titles, earlier titles used, and the corresponding dates. Make cross references from any variant titles.
2. Standard abbreviations used--make redirects from them.
3. publishing & sponsoring body, as well as earlier publishers & sponsors
4. availability on line
5. no. of articles published a year
6. ISSNs for both print and online versions
7. Online availability of current and earlier issues
8. Open access availability, if relevant.
9. Circulation (sourced somewhere--default place to get it is Ulrichs)
10. coverage in major standard indexes, inclding particularly Scopus and Web of Science (Science Citation Index)
11. latest year's impact factor if available, and rank in the JCR subject field(s). Include the year so it can be updated.
12. any actual references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases.
13. a list of the 3 or 4 most influential articles similarly, getting citation figures from Web of Science.
14. External links to the journal's main web site, and , if relevant, the main website of the sponsoring body.

It should not contain

1. General information listing all the fields covered, unless it is not obvious from the title
2. Statements of praise for the journal -- see WP:PEACOCK
3. A list of those on the editorial board
4. names of the staff, except editors in chief; subordinate or section editors should not usually be listed.
5. Information about subscription prices
6. Information about how to submit articles
7. Links to the publisher's general website, or to subpages within the journal's site.
8. and, most important, it must contain no text from the web page description of the journal. That is a copyright violation, and needs to be rewritten. Even if you are prepared to donate copyright according to WP:DCM, it is likely to be unsuitably promotional.

Please read our FAQ about organisations, and articles like this, and for more specific information our Wikipedia:WikiProject Academic Journals/Writing guide. As it specifies there, the best way to start is by using the infobox journal template; but also convert the information there to prose. DGG ( talk ) 18:42, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, have a look at File:G2Bcover.jpg for an example. I have uploaded many journal covers using G2B as an example and never had any problems. Hope this helps! --Crusio (talk) 08:32, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on International Journal of Wavelets, Multiresolution and Information Processing requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ♠The Ace of Spades^♣♥_♦ 03:26, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have been editing most of yur journal articles to make them comply with WP's Manual of Style. Please have a look at the changes I made (many very minor), so that you can incorporate those from the start. Happy editing! --Crusio (talk) 08:51, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your journal articles, Nkf; please reference them and categorise them. Ironholds (talk) 06:13, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And again, Here. Referencing is incredibly important for verification; Wikipedia cannot be credible as an encyclopaedia if articles are not sourced. Ironholds (talk) 06:23, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Another detail: the abbreviation for a journal is rarely the acronym formed by the initial letters of the title words. Rather, its the abbreviation such as can be found in the journals database of PubMed. As for the remark about sourcing just above: for non-controversial information it is acceptable to use a journal's homepage as a source, this satisfies WP:V. --Crusio (talk) 07:39, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Ironholds and Crusio, i'm still working at it! Crusio, i obtained the abbreviations from the journal homepage - would that be different? thanks again for your patience! Nkf31 (talk) 08:05, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they are different. The publisher apparently uses the acronyms to identify the different journal homepages (not unreasonable, of course), but these are not the standard abbreviations. --Crusio (talk) 08:09, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

crusio, can you find abbreviations in databases such as SCI and Inspec even if you do not have the program? Nkf31 (talk) 02:30, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not in SCI, as far as I know, I don't know about Inspec. But for most biomedical journals you can find abbreviations in Pubmed. --Crusio (talk) 09:55, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, just wanted to let you know that I have granted autoreviewer rights on your account, as you have created numerous valid articles. This will have little or no effect on your editing, and is intended mainly to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information see Wikipedia:Autoreviewer, and feel free to ask if you have any questions. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 14:06, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again Nkf31. I have revoked your autoreviewer rights for the time being, because there is concern about the notability of some of the articles you've created. Don't worry, this, again, won't have any real affect on your editing. Take care, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 17:00, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article Optics and Photonics Letters has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

A search for references failed to find significant coverage in reliable sources to comply with notability requirements. This included web searches for news coverage, books, and journals, which can be seen from the following links:
Optics and Photonics Letters – news, books, scholar
Consequently, this article is about a subject that appears to lack sufficient 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 {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

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

Journals which are established for only a year or two and are in no major index are extremely unlikely to be notable. They will be nominated for deletion and deleted. You will find it easier to get the actually notable journals from World Scientific accepted for articles here if you do not try to add articles for the ones that are patently not yet notable. To ask for removal of an article of which you are the only significant contributor, just add {{db-author}} to the top of the page; it removes the article quickly, and shows that you do understand our criteria, which will be to your credit. You can do this even after a proposed deletion tag has been added to speed things along. DGG ( talk ) 04:36, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
