Hi, and welcome to my User Talk page! For new discussions, please add your comments at the very bottom and use a section heading (e.g., by using the "+" tab, or, depending on your settings, the "new section" tab at the top of this page). I will respond on this page unless specifically requested otherwise. I dislike talk-back templates and fragmented discussions. If I post on your page you may assume that I will watch it for a response. If you post here I will assume the same (and that you lost interest if you stop following the discussion).

IF YOU CAME HERE BECAUSE I DELETED AN ARTICLE THAT YOU CREATED OR WORKED ON: Please see WP:REFUND first. Thanks.

Misplaced Pages is no place for humour.
Everything is very serious here and we are all terrifically important.

Antonio Lievano Deleted Page

I have added the necessary references to this page. I just wanted to contact you as you were the admin that looked over this page. A secondary unbiased source has been added as well as other key components. Cheers.

Panhead2014's insistance in edit warring and accusing other people

Panhead2014's insistance in edit warring and accusing other people. Just to give you a little background over Panhead's claims, I'll post some links below:

1)WP:FOOTY discussion over his edits in Sergio Busquets and Míchel Salgado, where he claims that I (and some other users) have a personal problem with him (which is definitely not true);

2)The block logs related to the user;

3)His constantly claims that Gringoladomenega is acting wrong and is having a nuisance behavior. In this same discussion it was explained why he was blocked and why his requests to unblocking were denied by five admins.

Also, Panhead clearly violates WP:OWNERSHIP, WP:CIVIL, WP:BRD, WP:3RR. And in WP:FOOTY discussion, is also pretty clear that he doesn't want to reach a consensus, but wants to impose his edits ahead of others. Cheers- --Gringoladomenega talk 6 August 2014 (UTC)

Deletion review for Overt-Kill

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Overt-Kill. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. . --Mike

User:Nomian/Bangladesh–Slovakia relations

Hello, I have significantly expanded the draft and I think it meets the notability guidelines, can you please have a look? Nomian (talk) 10:57, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

  • I don't think that the added sourcing would respond to the concerns raised in the AfD. Please do not again move this to article space saying "administrator approved" without having explicit approval of an admin (either myself or any other admin). Thanks. --Randykitty (talk) 10:42, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
  • I was unaware of that. You had posted here and I did not get around to this immediately, so I assumed that you had taken my silence as agreement. Let me talk with Bushranger first. --Randykitty (talk) 16:04, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
  • Dear Randykitty, sorry to disturb, I just want to know what was the discussion between you and Bushranger, I can't see the thread there. Will it be restored? Thanks in advance. Nomian (talk) 18:55, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

More journal spam

This one is new to me (DGG, do you get this stuff too?).

Dear Prof.,

This is a letter from Scientific Online Publishing, USA. We have launched some new journals and transactions in recently. You are more than welcome to submit your manuscripts to us for publishing.

Scientific Online Publishing (SOP) is a publisher of journals covering a wide range of academic subjects. SOP is dedicated to spreading and sharing the latest research achievements around the world and offering a very convenient access to all the individual researchers and academic communities. SOP aims not only to promote the progress of science, but also to improve the level of research in developing areas. Under the principle of Open Access, SOP is devoted to promoting Open Access journal publishing worldwide. With SOP, any scientific outcome is obtainable at anytime in any corner of the world.

In the past month, we launched some new journals. So we reduced the publishing fees in this month. Most of our journals are now free of charge. For more details, please check the homepages of journals.

Publication may cost "a little amount of money". I saw no hits on Misplaced Pages yet for "SOP Transactions", which is how some of their titles start. Drmies (talk) 17:12, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

  • Not sure I get this. I get so many that I am losing track... They all go into my spam email immediately, although sometimes I respond and tell them that I'll never submit anything to them, will never review for them, and won't even read any article published in their crappy journals. Doesn't seem to help, though... :-) --Randykitty (talk) 10:06, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

How much more of this crap is there??

Unfortunately, there is much MUCH more. I have been taking the approach of tagging articles for sources and/or notability, coming back through and looking myself for sources (adding if I find any), and eventually coming to AfD once the search is exhausted. Now there's another editor summarily removing the tags without improving the articles, so I'm probably just going to have to bring them one-by-one to AfD. It's such a huge mess of inbred articles and lists that it will take much longer to unravel than it took to create.

This whole mess was created by one or two editors who are no longer participating in this space, and now it leaves me looking like I'm on a crusade - when I'm just attempting to restore some sanity. Past attempts to go to the various projects who might be interested have met with either resistance or apathy - so now I have a new vocation, I guess.

Thanks for keeping an eye on things... Cheers! Tgeairn (talk) 16:16, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

  • Yeah, I keep seeing stuff pop up... And you're right, it's much easier to create a mess than it is to clean it up. Just spend a few days cleaning up journal articles created by Sage Publications editorial assistants... --Randykitty (talk) 16:23, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
  • Ouch. The worst I'd dealt with (before this) was trying to make some sense of MMA articles - I gave up. In this case, it's the amount of reading that I was unprepared for. I'd bet that between myself, Astynax, and Nwlaw63 we have read nearly every cut/paste/reprint journal or book by the self-appointed academics in this field - and I know my brain hurts. I am hopeful that Arbcom takes up the related case, but not terribly optimistic that things will be resolved. Soon, Tgeairn (talk) 16:36, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Gaza Letter in The Lancet

I have reinserted the Gaza letter information, adding more citations per your comment as well as adding in some new developments. Also sourced. Steal the Kosher Bacon (talk) 07:45, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Quarterly Review of Film and Video

This is up for AFD, and since I couldn't find a database here that was also in WP:NJOURNALS I have decided to ask for your help again. Would you say any of them are selective enough to meet NJOURNALS? I think the British Humanities Index probably is, but I'm not sure because it's not mentioned by name at NJOURNALS (we should consider expanding that).

Educational Psychologist (journal)

RE:

Yes it does. On page 137, paragraph 1. http://i.imgur.com/aTq3dyp.png Antrocent (♫♬) 00:03, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

  • I stand corrected. Weird though: I downloaded the PDF and it is searchable, so I searched for "Educational Psychologist" and did not see the title. Just tried again, searching only for "educational psy" and it just jumps over the one single mention on p. 137, so apparently that PDF is not completely searchable... Anyway, I have self-reverted. --Randykitty (talk) 06:09, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Diamond (Project) Redirected

Hi,

I have seen you have redirected DIAMOND (project) to Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development, probably also other Seventh Framework Programme projects. Could I know the reason please? I would like to publish it again.

Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ceitacastro (talk • contribs) 14:38, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

  • Have a look at these notes, with which I wholeheartedly agree. To the participants, such an ephemeral project is very notable, but at WP, "notable" has a very special meaning (see WP:GNG) and only extremely rarely is such an EU project notable in the WP encyclopedic sense. Note also that all articles created for research projects are almost exclusively for EU-funded projects. NSF/NIH/etc don't push their grant holders to create WP articles that almost all of the time will be deleted anyway... --Randykitty (talk) 19:02, 7 October 2014 (UTC)


Thanks for the information. I have read it, but I think DIAMOND (project) have a significat significant and direct coverage in independent newspapers and magazines. Please, find here some references:

Shamelessly stole

Hi Randykitty, I shamelessly stole your very handy "admin bar". I hope that was ok. If not, I'll remove it. :) Oz\ 14:41, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
