Speedy deletion nomination of Language Teaching (journal)[edit]

A tag has been placed on Language Teaching (journal), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which 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 guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Journal of American Studies[edit]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Journal of American Studies, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.baas.ac.uk/resources/jas/jas.asp. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

Copyright[edit]

Hi there - it looks like several of the new articles you created directly copy material from the Cambridge Journals website and elsewhere. I wanted to bring to your attention our policy on copyrighted material: we cannot accept copyright materials in Wikipedia; please don't bring in material directly copied from another site. Just let me know if you have any questions or comments. Gonzonoir (talk) 15:00, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Journal of American Studies[edit]

A tag has been placed on Journal of American Studies requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

advice[edit]

You seem to be entering articles about journals published by Cambridge University Press. This is good,we want the articles, but you need to be aware of a number of things. As a general guide, please see our FAQ about businesses, other organisations, and articles like this. You need to avoid WP:Conflict of interest-- you can still do the articles if you are connected with them, but you should say so on your user page and make very sure the articles are free from promotion and copyright violation.

An article about a journal should contain

Full name,& dates of start
earlier & other titles, with dates
Standard abbreviations used--make redirects from them.
publishing & sponsoring body, & earlier publishers & sponsors
frequency
availability on line
frequency of publication
no. of articles published a year
circulation sourced somewhere--default place to get it is Ulrichs
Name of the editors-in-chief, (but only the eds in chief) with their institutional affiliations -- include earlier ones also
A list of the major indexing services that cover it -- in particular Web of Science and Scopus
latest year's impact factor if available
any actual references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases.
a list of the 3 or 4 most influential articles similarly, getting citation figures from Web of Science.

It should not contain

A list of everyone the editorial board
names of the staff, except editor in chief
vague promotional statements about how useful it is for people in the relevant profession
adjectives of praise
and, most important, it must contain no text from the web page description of the journal. This is a copyright violation, and needs to be rewritten. Even if you are prepared to donate copyright according to /dcm, it is likely to be unsuitably promotional.

I advise you to do this very quickly, before the articles get nominated for deletion by a regular deletion process.

If I can give you any help with this , let me know. (I am among the administrators here that frequently work with this sort of article) DGG ( talk ) 16:07, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
