Thank you for adding the article on the Royal Society of Chemistry's new journal, Integrative Biology. However, much of the information that you added was promotional in nature, and copied from the web site of the journal. This material has been removed, and the material in general copyedited for conciseness. Please see our Business FAQ (which also applies to non-profit organisations).

Although it is possible for the society to give permission for the use of this material, the requirements of an encyclopedia is different from that of a web site, and such material is usually not really suitable--as in this case.

I would appreciate information about what the official title of the journal is, and whether it includes the subtitle--if so, i shall adjust the article accordingly. Please let me do it, as the move will be complicated.

It would appear from the nature of your editing that you apparently have a conflict of interest, and are editing on behalf of the Society. Please be very careful in adding material to Wikipedia-- see oour policy on Conflict of Interest. I note the name of the publisher's Managing editor of a journal is not usually considered significant content--just the name of the editor in chief responsible for the scientific content. I also note that the external links should not contain links to other journals published by the Society, just to this one.

I am particularly concerned about these problems, because it appears that when editing under the name of the society (I assume from the nature of the edits that it was indeed you), you had exactly the same problems with the addition of inappropriate material, both in terms of copyright and in terms of advertising. You were particularly warned that a paragraph of information about the general virtues of the non profit nature of the society was not acceptable. If you continue to add promotional material, you will be blocked from editing. Many good articles here have been added by people conducting public relations for an organization, but we expect that professionals will know to follow the conventions of the medium--in this case the Wikipedia encyclopedia.

If you have any questions, just ask at my talk page or by email from there; I am one of the administrators here who frequently works with material on academic journals. DGG (talk) 17:34, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
