Speedy deletion nomination of Journal of Experimental Zoology


A tag has been placed on Journal of Experimental Zoology requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites 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 belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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.

Hey
I notice you created a articles on a few journals all from Wiley-Liss. Not to jump to conclusions, but typically people who create a lot of articles on journals from one publisher are employed by the publisher to do so, or otherwise have a conflict of interest. This can be a problem, but it doesn't have to be.

In addition to both links I gave above, which I highly recommend you read since it would save everyone lots of headaches, we have a writing guide for articles on academic journals which provides excellent guidance on how to write an article, as well as notability guidelines for journals, which provides excellent guidance on whether or not a journal should have an article on Wikipedia. There's also a group of people interested in academic journals in general, which can be found at WikiProject Academic Journals and on its talk page if you have questions or want feedback.

I hope this helps. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 04:49, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your help with up-dating Wikipedia. Yes, indeed, I am an employee of Wiley & Sons. I hope this doesn't interfere with the quality of my articles. I'm trying to stay as neutral as possible. I just thought it would be helpful to have some of this information on here, simply so that users can know that these journals exist and where they stand on the citation index and such.

 * As far as I can tell, the main problem was that you used descriptions from the journal homepage themselves. In addition to being a copyright violation, the descriptions are usually "overly precise". The articles were also a bit bare-boned and didn't contain a lot of information we usually try to include. Ideally, in the first paragraphs we want the title of the journal, what field of science it covers, the year of establishment, any information on merge/splits/change of names, publisher, current and founding editor-in-chiefs (but not whole editorial boards). Then after the introduction, a dedicated section on abstracting and indexing, with a mention of the impact factor.


 * If you follow the advice given in WikiProject Academic Journals/Writing guide, the quality of your writing should drastically improve and you shouldn't have too much trouble with people trying to delete the articles. User:Crusio or myself will usually double-check stuff and add finishing tweaks, so don't worry too much about getting things 100% right on the first try.
