 * the journal is almost certainly notable, and I'm prepared to defend it, but please please do not enter bare stubs such as these. show at least the date it began, the name of the editor in chief and earlier eds. in chief--but nobody else--the ISSN, and the main indexing services that cover it/ Add if you can the JCR impact factor & rank in the field (I did this for you, having it right at hand). I'd advise you to add this very quickly, before it gets nominated for regular deletion. You can use JCR and Ulrichs as refs.  And if you are, by any chance, connected with the journal or the company, please see our Business FAQ.  Feel free to contact me if you need any help, on my talk p. or by email. I'm one of the administrators who frequently work on this sort of topic here. DGG (talk) 05:26, 9 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, I see from the articles you have been contributing that you're unconnected, but we have had some problems with journal publishers from time to time. Be sure not to copy material from the journal website, including especially the description of the purposes and intended audience--that part is usually jargon anyway. If the journal has published any really notable article, that cn be listed also. The reason to emphasize editors in chief, is that being the ed. of a major journals like this is considered as good evidence of notability, under the WP:PROF rule of being recognized as an authority in one's field.DGG (talk) 06:36, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

There's a few small issues with adding back the reference to the material in the UC article. First, as a matter of policy, Wikipedia strongly discourages "self-citing" as a practice for supporting the material in an article; content references usually need to be external to Wikipedia. Second, when we do make internal references, it's almost always as links to whole articles, though sometimes its as links to sub-headings (such as Elephant), and for the purpose of providing additional context. However, this depends on the stability of sub-headings; sub-head links get broken from time to time as sub-heads are changed. (The distinction between first and second is the distinction between "this is why X is true" and "see also...".) Third, the relevant material isn't particularly well placed for the long term. While a scandal is playing out, it's often appropriate to have some content about it in the main article of related major topics; in this particular case, the scandal is relatively incidental to the UC system as a whole and will probably be edited out of that article in the long term now that it's played out, or edited down to a short one-liner about Dynes resigning over a controversy. I suspect there's enough reference material out there to support a short stand-alone article on the incident; if that should occur, then the Greenwood article should link to it in the normal way, as should the main UC article. Just where in the encyclopedia certain material should be is often a judgment call, and in my judgment it's probably not significant enough to UC to be carried in the long term in the main UC article.

Hi I tried to create a page on him but it was deleted with in 15 min (before I could even save it once) or add some notable info. I do not have all of the info on him so I do not know how to procede. It seems like wikipedia likes actors, poker players and a Chinese-Elvis but not martial art masters. Best, --Duchamps_comb MFA 23:11, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

If you look you will see most of the article is unsourced and lacking citations for factual information about this WP:BLP. Cirt (talk) 22:56, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Hey, can you take a look at this article, and see if your Wiki network can help me retrieve that Time Magazine ref. I saw the paper copy in the library, but apparently only subscribers to Time can retrieve article. --Kgwu24 (talk) 04:30, 24 June 2009 (UTC)KG
