User talk:Malina120

Malina, I see you are a new editor to Wikipedia. That's great. But as I stated in my previous reversion, the social network analysis field is so vast, that we cannot justify listing thousands of relevant articles in it. I know several scholars who have written hundreds. So please stop insisting on this article unless you make a cogent case for its importance on the Social Network Analysis talk page. Otherwise, this will be referred to Wikipedia Administrators. The journal it is published in has a very low impact factor, 0.490, and there is not even a Wikipedia article devoted to its existence.

A better way to get your article noticed is to post info about it on Socnet, the listserve of the International Network for Social Network Analysis.

Please stay with Wikipedia, but please develop more experience with it.

PS: In response to your request for more objective measures of notability, I used Google Scholar to check on how widely-cited this article is. There are 11 citations to variations on it--not a notable number. The author has an h-index of 4 and a g-index of 6. These are low scores, but understandable for a post-doc, which Google Scholar suggests the author is.

I repeat my suggestion that the author --or yourself--post the ref info + abstract to Socnet, where it will come to the attention of the wider community of social network scholars: thee are about 2700 subscribers to that list.

Thanks for your message. Actually, I read that article in the EAEPE forum and wanted to add it here as a reference to the application of SNA in economics (similar to other disciplines) because so far there is none in the SNA Wikipedia page. I am still surprised that you are searching for the author, I still think this is non-objective. I mean what does really matter? is it the research itself or the person who conducted it? Currently this is a very sensitive issue here in the US, because of the racism related reports in the media. That's why your behavior made me angry.

Malina120, you are invited to the Teahouse!

 * Malina120 I am glad you're going to the teahouse. I would appreciate it if you would work with your mentors there to have constructive discussion. I personally would appreciate it if you would withdraw the unsupported charge of racism against me at the Administors' Noticeboard. Otherwise, I will write to them myself which would not help your editorial reputation. I edited in good faith and assumed so on your part. I attempted repeatedly to explain why the article is not notable enough to be listed: very few citations, a not notable journal, and an author with a low h-index. Perhaps you can find more widely known articles in organizational analysis that you could substitute for it. Wayne Baker; Ronald Burt; Alexander Pentland all come to mind.
