Talk:Quanta Magazine

Notability
I think there is some sense outside Wikipedia that this is a notable magazine or is in a safe road to become one. Just for the sake of illustrating this, a quote from Peter Woit: "Quanta Magazine has over the past couple years been establishing a well-deserved reputation as the smartest and best science journalism around."

Yet, it may be too soon for an article on Wikipedia. Bahazon (talk) 17:16, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

Many Wikipedia articles refer to Quanta magazine
More than 40 Wikipedia articles contain references to articles published in Quanta Magazine. Krishnachandranvn (talk) 15:30, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

The notability of this subject needs to be revisited despite the prolific republication of articles that Quanta puts out. I see very few independent sources that discuss the magazine. There have been a number of single purpose ip addresses that have relentlelly updated this page for years and in some cases removed maintenance tags despite the references not satisfying the concerns. --mikeu talk 15:28, 26 October 2019 (UTC)


 * in WP:NMEDIA I see a list of 5 criteria - (1) award winning work (4) cited by other reliable sources - just check google scholar for examples, (5) A significant publication in a non-trivial niche market i.e maths and science. They only need one of these Weburbia (talk) 16:03, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

"Simons Science News" became "Quanta Magazine" not "Quanta"
I have updated the article sources so that they are not primarily affiliated with "Quanta Magazine". Then I removed the tags that were placed with request for article improvement. Also, I have corrected the worrying identification of "Quanta Magazine" as "Quanta". This is inappropriate, because another academic journal with the exact name "Quanta" was already registered in the international ISSN center. In fact Quanta (journal) has a registered ISSN 1314-7374 since 2012, whereas Quanta Magazine has obtained ISSN 2640-2661 much later, possibly in 2019 -- I do not understand well why the Bulgarian ISSN center provides the original date of registration, whereas the American ISSN center shows only last update date. In summary, I think that "Quanta Magazine" has no rights to brand itself as "Quanta" as was improperly done on the covers of the MIT Books. Danko Georgiev (talk) 20:06, 6 November 2019 (UTC)


 * How is this a concern of wikipedia if nobody has raised an IP dispute and no source has discussed it? What WP policy is being followed here? (Genuine questions) Weburbia (talk) 11:57, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
 * The point is that the improper use of title "Quanta" was injected by anonymous I.P. addresses 74.101.152.54 (New York city) and 144.121.65.106 (Simons Foundation, New York city = the publisher of "Quanta Magazine"). There is no dispute that the proper title is "Quanta Magazine", so I just documented the reason for my corrective edits. Danko Georgiev (talk) 06:36, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
