Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, Preventivemedicine, may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it appears to represent the journal Preventive Medicine. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may file for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you.  • ɔ   ʃ   →  22:43, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Preventivemedicine, does not meet our username policy. '''Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).''' A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Changing username.

 * A couple of small points:
 * Your proposed article (now to be deleted) was purely a cut-and-paste from Elsevier's website. Do you understand Wikipedia's policy regarding copyright?
 * Do you understand that you may not write an article about, or otherwise promote, your company, organization, publication, etc.?
 * If so, I'd recommend just starting another account from scratch; it's easier that way. --jpgordon:==( o ) 16:56, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

You have been unblocked temporarily, and may request a new username at Changing username or create a new account with your chosen name. Elen of the Roads (talk) 02:03, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Preventivemedicine/Preventive Medicine international journal


A tag has been placed on User:Preventivemedicine/Preventive Medicine international journal, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of User:Preventivemedicine/Preventive Medicine international journal and leave a note on |the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. JamesBWatson (talk) 16:51, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * As reviewing administrator, I decline to delete this, but have rather moved it to article space and edited it to remove the copyvio and promotionalism. The journal is clearly notable, being in JCR.    DGG ( talk ) 17:00, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

====== TO: JamesBWatson

====== Thanks for your feedback. I do understand why the current username was blocked, and have accordingly requested (separately) to change the username to "Green & Blue". (I still don't understand what is happening on that score, but that's another matter). Also, the fact is that yes, I am an editor of the journal, so am perhaps barred from writing any entry about it, even an encyclopedic one. Does that mean that someone else with entirely no connection to the journal needs to do that? I just wonder how that really works in practice in light of the many other journal entries I've seen included in Wikipedia (e.g., American Journal of Public Health (AJPH), see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_journal_of_public_health

In any case, immediately below is a suggested rewritten "neutral" version modeled on the Wikipedia entry for the AJPH (N.B.: the part between the 2 *** is the colored box with hyperlinks, similar to the one on the right hand side of the AJPH entry.) Would something like this be suitable, assuming it was written and submitted by an "appropriate" author? Also (again), how is such an author (usually) found?

- BEGIN SUGGESTED REWRITTEN VERSION - Preventive Medicine (PM) is an academic research journal that publishes peer-reviewed contributions to the fields of preventive medicine and public health. It was founded in 1972 by Ernst Wynder, MD (1922-1999), who served as its founding editor. PM's 2009 journal impact factor was 3.172, ranking it 19th highest among 133 Medicine, General and Internal subject category journals and 21st highest among 122 Public, Environmental, and Occupational Health subject category journals. [1]  Research articles published in PM focus on preventing lifestyle-related disorders such as cancer, cardiovascular/ heart disease, dyslipidemia, hypertension, respiratory/infectious disease, and stroke by improving risk factors such as overweight/obesity, metabolic syndrome, physical inactivity, and tobacco/other substance abuse through individual and population-based risk factor screening programs, health education programs, public health planning, randomized controlled trials, and community intervention studies.
