Proposed deletion of The Rutherford Journal

edit
 

The article The Rutherford Journal has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Ephemeral journal, no independent references, no indication this meets WP:GNG or WP:NJournals.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Speedy deletion nomination of List of Oxford University Press journals

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on List of Oxford University Press journals requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.oxfordjournals.org/en/our-journals/. 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 or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — 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 or image 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Randykitty (talk) 11:17, 12 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Um. This is accurate: it is a G12 copyvio. That said, even if it wasn't, as a bare list I think it might well be considered duplicative of a category. I checked Category:University of Oxford and there currently does not seem to be one, have you considered creating it? That's definitely not a problem for notable publishers. Guy (Help!) 12:33, 12 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
This was created to match List of Cambridge University Press journals. How can a list of journal names be said in your own words [quote from above!]. Do you expect the journal names to be paraphrased from the actual names?! This page was deleted very quickly before I could contest it (I work too!); please send me the source for the page since I spent considerable effort adding the correct Wikipedia links for the journals, thank you. In any case, I believe Oxford University Press would be only too glad to have this public information on Wikipedia. —Jonathan Bowen (talk) 02:32, 13 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
Truthfully, I have no idea how you could make it not a like copy of the publisher's own page. That's a bit of a problem. Guy (Help!) 09:56, 13 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

re Creative computing

edit

Which you wrote, but to be honest after reading the article I can't figure out what it means. And I think this is not because it's a hard subject with lots of technical terms, but rather that it's a buzzword and vague marketing-type blather. Since to my mind it doesn't actually say anything useful, I was going to nominate it for deletion (and still might). Here's my take on the matter:

Draft AfD nom

What even is this? I don't see any real evidence here that "creative computing" isn't just a meaningless marketing-type buzzword of limited notability.

As far as I can figure -- and TBH this article not only explains nothing but is actually the rare article where I knew less after reading it than before -- "Creative computing" is just an amalgam of "creative" and "computing", that is, using computers in some creative way ("Creativity, phenomenon whereby something new and valuable is created").

It's just a literal term -- as far as I can figure from the article. We don't have articles on literal terms where there's no new meaning or idiom created by combining the constituent terms, such as "Silver car" and so forth ("A silver car is an automobile in which the metal outer surface is primarily colored silver...").

OK so let's see what the article says.

The lede says "Creative computing covers the area of creativity and computing, addressing the issue of knowledge discovery". Knowledge discovery in turn says it "describes the process of automatically searching large volumes of data for patterns that can be considered knowledge about the data". (Which I guess these patterns would be considered metadata.) It's an offshoot of data mining.

OK. There's a ref for this, which I can't access but the abstract says "creativity has become one of the core competitive advantages in recent years. There is no doubt that knowledge is the strongest backup for it. Therefore, to discover appropriate knowledge for creative tasks is critical. While the seeking of knowledge by other professionals is still within the computing field, Creative Computing starts to think about exploring useful knowledge outside the traditional area" and so forth. Whatever this person is trying to say (who knows?) does not support anything about metadata etc.

OK moving on. Body of the article begins

"Creative computing refers to a meta-technology to coalesce knowledge in computing and other disciplines. The International Journal of Creative Computing highlights creativity in the technological domain to utilise fully knowledge in the human domain while not excluding creativity in the latter..."

Da hell. Please do not let me get stuck in an elevator with this guy. This looks like rank blather to me. I recognize it as English, and it's not like there are a lot of hard technical terms, but... I'm not learning anything here. It doesn't really get any better. This article contains words but does not seem to be contributing anything to the sum of human knowledge.

OK, then "A number of university degree programmes in Creative Computing exist" and it lists three. Bath Spa university has one. Let's see... website has "Learn by making. Build imaginative games, web apps, digital interfaces and interactive artworks.... Ever wondered how to code beautiful web apps, bring stories to life through animation, or build those intuitive little smartphone games that you just can’t seem to put down? Our Creative Computing course could be for you."

Fine, but there's nothing there to indicate that they're not just using the words "creative" and "computing" together in their literal sense -- you create code! You create apps! They could have called it "Runcible Computing" and probably would have if they thought it would sell better.

Goldsmith University has "This degree will prepare you to take an active role in the creation of computational systems in arts, music, film, digital media, and other areas of the software industry that require creative individuals... You'll explore how computing interacts with a wide range of other subject areas, including applications in the arts and creative industries".

OK! There's a little more here about being involved, as a computer person, in the creative arts. If "creative computing" meant "the intersection of computing with the creative arts" such as CGI or digital music or whatever, that'd be different. We'd have a different article. But this current article says literally nothing about that and says other things instead. If "creative computing" really is used idiomatically in this way to a notable degree (I dunno -- doubt it) and we want an article about that, then we need to erase this article and start all over.

Wrexham Glyndŵr University, similar: "You will develop industry-relevant vocational skills and gain experience required for employment in the digital media industries". Again, nothing to do with "meta-technology to coalesce knowledge in computing and other discipline" which is how the term is defined earlier.

And none of these are MIT. Goldsmith is part of the University of London, but the other two look kind of small. If MIT and Cambridge etc. were using the term "creative computing" in this manner it might make a difference.

Finally, there's a blurb for the International Journal of Creative Computing which, fine, I suppose. Doesn't seem to be a very notable entity. If its notable enough for a stand-alone article (doubtful) let's have that; if not, it's maybe not a big loss.

But since you're a long-term editor, rather than sending it to WP:AFD I'll give you an chance to maybe address these concerns and knock the article into some kind of shape, if you care to. If you're like me you hate to see your articles AFD'd. Or explain to me here what the article is supposed to be about and maybe together we can figure out a better way to communicate this, if you wish. Cheers, Herostratus (talk) 20:57, 23 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

The article was created in the context of the journal in this area (in the article) and the multiple university degree programmes with this name (at least six different programmes, referenced in this article, including Queen Mary, University of London, for example). The term is used in the United States as well as the United Kingdom (e.g., at Harvard and MIT – I have added references). With these multiple reputable references, I believe the topic deserves a Wikipedia entry, even if a bit nebulous. It should cover the content of the degree programs and the journal in overall at least. Of course, I am open to improvements but IMHO, I think it passes WP:GNG with the multiple sources. —Jonathan Bowen (talk) 15:19, 24 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Album article formatting

edit

Hi. I noticed some incorrect formatting on the article you created, Half Brother (album).

  • Song titles do not get italicized. Please put them in quotations.
  • Songwriters do not need to be put in 'small' tags.
  • A "studio" parameter for the infobox exists. "Recorded" is for the recording date.
  • Per the album style guide, do not group Personnel together. For example, 2 names - guitar. It should be individually listed.
  • The correct header is "Track listing", not "Track list".

This is all per the album style guide: WP:MOSALBUM. Thanks! --Jennica / talk 07:08, 21 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Note this is not "my publisher" in the way you seem to be implying. I was a second co-author of a foreword largely written by the first author in a 2011 book. The new page was not just a "re-creation" but included a criticism section with six additional references, one of which was a peer-reviewed article and the rest largely by academics, including the University of Cambridge.
