Speedy deletion nomination of Diaspora (journal)


A tag has been placed on Diaspora (journal) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.utpjournals.com/Diaspora.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 11:44, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Academic journal articles
Hi, could you perhaps have a look at the documentation of the journals infobox? The "abbreviation" field, for example, is for the ISO4 abbreviation, not for initialisms. Our journal article writing guide gives helpful advice on how to create good journal articles. My user page has some resources, including pore-formatted independent references to show a journal's notability. As for the abstracting and indexing, we usually only list important databases, not the trivial ones (i.e., GScholar, Ulrich's, all the different EBSCO or ProQuest databases, etc). Hope this helps. --Randykitty (talk) 21:06, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I'll go over the guidelines more carefully for the future. Journals100 (talk) 17:08, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Journals100. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. I note that all the articles you've created have been for journals published by University of Toronto Press, and that your other edits have also focussed exclusively on the UoTP and its interests.

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Journals100, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to University of Toronto Press have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. The history was obviously copied from utpress.utoronto.ca Thank you.

Paid editing?
Hello Journals100. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a black hat practice. Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly. Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Journals100. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. )
 * I have previously worked for UTP, so I have more knowledge about this publisher than most, but I was not paid for my edits. Is this still considered a conflict of interest? 19:06, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I guess it's borderline, but if your editing is neutral, there should not be a problem. --Randykitty (talk) 10:59, 14 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Please review every article you have written and redo it properly. The following information should be included, not just in the infobox but the text also,
 * (1) current editor in chief and, if possible, previous editors in chief. Link the names, even if they are red links, because being editor in chief of a major journal is sufficient eevidence of meeting WP:PROF--if you do not find them for a major scientist, check for other forms of the name. Include their university affiliation.
 * (2)major indexing services (and only the major ones--do not list very edition of Academic Search, for example,
 * (3)dates of publication
 * (4)place of publication
 * (5)A statement about whether any or all articles in the journal are open access, or even delayed open access
 * (6)any available third party references to the journal
 * (7)all earlier titles; any related title.
 * (8)Any particularly important articles published in the journal, very selectively(of Nobel Prize significance)
 * Please see WP:Wikiproject Academic Journals for more information about how to do it right.  DGG ( talk ) 00:31, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Journal of City Climate Policy and Economy (January 25)
 Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Help_desk&action=edit&section=new&nosummary=1&preload=Template:AfC_decline/HD_preload&preloadparams%5B%5D=Draft:Journal_of_City_Climate_Policy_and_Economy Articles for creation help desk] or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by Randykitty was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: New journal, way too young to have become notable yet. None of the sources are independent and in-depth. Not indexed in any selective databases (not surprising for such a young journal). WP:TOOSOON. Misses WP:GNG and WP:NJournals.

Orphaned non-free image File:Jccpe-cover.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Jccpe-cover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:30, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
