User talk:Joseph.tobin
Dear Joe,
We appreciate your adding new journal pages to WP, as there are many thousand deserving academic journal that aren't yet included. Butt here is a certain minimum of content that needs to be edited to prevent those people who don't understand academic journals: name and institution of the editor in chief--major indexes that include it / relation to other important journals or organizations , and, of course, the ISSN.
And, because WP ha some peculiar customs In particular, the article should contain in the first line something that says in plain language that it is notable: for example
- an important journal / a notable journal / a nationally recognized journal /
- an international journal / an internationally recognized journal (if the content & editorial board are indeed international)
- the major journal in ... (if true) /
Best wishes, and may you add many more. If there's any help you need, just ask on my talk page DGG 22:50, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
- Joe, the ones you've been adding in the last few days really need fuller description, or those who don't recognize the importance of academic journals will possibly try to delete them. At the very least, they need the name and institutional affiliation of the editor in chief, with links around the name of the university. There should also be links [ ] around every important subject term. If it is sponsored by an organization, say so. If it's indexed in major indexes say so. Please give both print and electronic ISSNs, state frequency of publication, and at the bottom add the new category Journals published by the University of California Press and also University of California Press. (or whatever publisher) I can't do it all myself.
- and another thing--it would help if you are able to have the publisher give us copyright permission under GFDL to use material from the journal web pages and the picture of the cover. Please follow the rules in WP:Copyrightfor doing this--say it on the page, and confirm by letter or email as specified. It will be much better if you add only those which you have time to fully document.

Please pay attention
You cannot add pages the way you have been doing. We have given you advice at the top of the page here how to do it, and we expect that you will follow it. You cannot copy pages from the UC Press web site onto WP for two reasons `1/it is a copyright violation , and 2/ even if you were to obtain permission, it does not provide the appropriate information to show notability please read
If you continue to add material that appears in violation of copyright, you will surely be blocked; if you continue to add inadequate articles out of apparent CCOI you will be blocked.
If you continue to add inadequate material, it will surely be deleted. Give at least the name and institutional affiliation of the editor in cheif, the date of beginning publication, and the inclusion in major indexing services. If it is published by a society, try to add a page for the society. Add the Journal infobox. as given on [1] to every article and fill in the pertinent material. If you want to add something really useful, add a thumbnail of the journal cover to aid in identification. You will not be doing your job if the material is deleted, and I am not going to run around after you fixing them for you to prevent it. I am trying to help these journals stay in. Fix what you have done before you do any more.DGG (talk) 04:24, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Some help with regard to academic journal articles
I would advise you to take quite some time carefully reading
welcome
Glad you see your acknowledgment on my talk page. Here are some additional hints:
- It would probably be worthwhile to read some of the general information about Wikipedia. You might want to start with Wikipedia:Your first article, and then WP:GUIDE
- On talk pages, sign your name and date using four tildes, like ~~~~.
- Remember to use the Show preview button before you save.
- If you want someone to take a look at a article you have just written--ask. You can also email me & most users here from the "Email this user" link at the right of the screen. Consider going to your User Preferences panel and enabling your own email.
- It would be a very good idea to examine some pages fo other journals. To see a list of some selected titles,, go to List of scientific journals; for more, see Category:Academic journals. DGG (talk) 23:48, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
WIKIPEDIA MOVES QUICKLY
While we been discussing it , at least on of the journals you added has been nominated for deletion, and I've tried to fix it up as a rush job. there is quite a lot of overhead in organising the rescue of articles on an emergency basis--and see them nominated makes people look for more. I can not emphasis enough the extreme importance of fixing the existing articles *immediately*--WP works on a 24 hour 7 day schedule. Not only will articles get speedy-deleted in 5 minutes if they are marked for copyright violation, but even when brought up for discussion they go in 5 days. The dynamics of this is that the most important comments are in the first 24 hours. I cannot spend this weekend fixing all the CalUP articles for you--but if any are still left by Monday, upgrade them immediately. And get in touch with me by email from my user page.
