Journal articles
Hi, apparently you are the successor to User:Sarah.dandrea and unfortunately copying some of her bad habits. Please have a look at the academic journals writing guide before creating any more journal articles. Thanks. --Crusio (talk) 16:01, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Journal covers
Hi again, you cannot upload journal covers and claim that these constitute "own work" that you are releasing into the public domain, as this is clearly not true and not possible. Have a look at File:G2Bcover.jpg to see how you can properly provide licensing information. --Crusio (talk) 16:15, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Copyvio
And hi again.... It looks like you simply copied text from the Informa website to create these journal articles. This is unacceptable because it is a violation of copyright. This time I have removed the copyvio by editing the articles (rather heavily), but next time I'll just tag them for speedy deletion. Thanks. --Crusio (talk) 16:31, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi Crusio,

Yes I did copy the text from Informa website, but I was asked to do it. I am currently working for the company and they've asked me to upload the articles with the covers.

I am sorry if I have done something wrong, I will read more before I upload anything new.

Merci!


 * That's what I thought... Even if they ask you to do this, it is not allowed. There's a way around it (Informa can send WP an official email releasing the stuff into the public domain), but that is not really helpful either, as the text that publishers have on their websites are generally way too promotional. WP articles need to be "NPOV", meaning: have a neutral point of view. It is generally discouraged to create articles as part of your job, because that rarely leads to neutral articles. What we can do here is, each time you create an article, you let me know either here or on my talk page. I'll then go over it and if necessary tweak it a bit, so that nobody can try to get the article deleted as spam. --Crusio (talk) 13:29, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

OK I will send the articles to you before uploading them. Anyway I will also ask my supervisor for his opinion.

Thanks for the replies!
