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).
Open edit request in an archived talk page.
editHello,
I am trying to work through the extended protected backlog and I ran into the request on this page.
Talk:Attempted assassination of Donald Trump/Archive 9#editextendedprotected
It is in an archived talk page, but is part of the request backlog. Would it be permissible to change the parameters to answered, just to help clear the backlog?

- Ah, didn't see the wikibreak template. Disregard, and sorry to bother you.

Hi Randykitty, seeing your edit at Gesnerus. I believe that on Swiss Journal of Psychology I probably also added too many. Could you correct me if so? Thanks Nobody (talk) 08:22, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- Actually, Gesnerus does not even go into the English-German cat, as it was published in 4 langages, so it's really a multilingual journal. I'm running out of time now, I'll have a look at the psychology journal later. --Randykitty (talk) 08:51, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- Swiss Journal of Psychology is published in English, French and German. I put it in the categories: English-language journals, German-language journals, French-language journals, English-French multilingual journals and English-German multilingual journals. I don't know if I shoud've just put it in Category:Multilingual journals since it has more than 2 languages. Nobody (talk) 09:22, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- I have a strong preference for the latter. To me, a foo-language journal is a journal published exclusively in Foo language. Anything else is "multilingual". More generally speaking, what language a journal is in is not very interesting as far as I can see. I can't imagine someone explicitly searching for, say, a German-language journal regardless of subject. The other way around (i.e. searching for journals on a certain topic, regardless of language) is much more likely. Especially with free online translations available for ever more languages, language is not really a barrier any more. --Randykitty (talk) 10:16, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- I agree, but since both Category:Multilingual journals and Category:Academic journals by language have the non-diffusing template, I've been putting them in the subcats of both. Nobody (talk) 11:05, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

Sigrid Rausing Trust
editDear Randykitty, I would like to discuss with you the article about Sigrid Rausing Trust. I have provided several sources that prove notability of the Trust. For example, it is one of the largest charity organizations in the UK. That is why I don't understand why you just deleted information supported with sources. There are many sources regarding activities in the Eastern Europe, e.g. in Ukraine. Sincerely, Spudei Spudei (talk) 12:26, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- How many sources should I find to prove notability? I believe it is not fair just to delete information which has sources. It was not a stub... Thank you! Spudei (talk) 12:36, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Just more examples from the article you deleted:
- In 2009, Sigrid Rausing Trust was ranked 6th on the list of UK foundations supporting international development and related activities (by international spending). The Trust provided $9.1 million in the respective year, covering projects in Africa, Asia, South America, and Eastern Europe.[1]
- Between 2011 and 2018, the Sigrid Rausing Trust was among the top ten largest private grant-making organizations in Ukraine, according to the Foundation Center database.[2] Spudei (talk) 12:39, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, the problem with your sources (which was already signalled by Goldsztajn) is that almost all are not independent. The few that are independent are an interview with Rausing and some listings without any discussion. (Excluding reference 9, which my browser refuses to download declaring it a security risk). This is not sufficient to show notability. Please have a look at WP:GNG and linked articles. For the moment, the "Philanthropy" paragraph in her bio should suffice. --Randykitty (talk) 13:47, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Advice
editHi Randykitty, I've just read that the Swiss Journal of Psychology was renamed in 2021 to European Journal of Psychology Open (Source: [1], [2](Paid)) and I'm not sure if the article should be moved to the new name or just be changed in the article. Thanks Nobody (talk) 11:26, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, did they also change publishers? It's a bit weird: on the journal homepage (https://econtent.hogrefe.com/journal/sjp) the word "Open" is on the cover image but not in the headline. In any case, it indeed looks like they have added "Open" to the title. Weird, never seen a journal do such a thing, most just go fully OA and keep their title unchanged. The text of our article should be changed and th article moved to the new title. --Randykitty (talk) 14:50, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- The publisher (Verlag Hans Huber) became the swiss location of the international publisher Hogrefe Publishing Group.(Source: [3]) So it didn't really change. As for having Open in the name; it's not the only one there's also Swiss Psychology Open that I know and searching the DOAJ shows quite a few like this. I'll start working on updating the article . Nobody (talk) 06:24, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- So from what I found online there are two successors to the Swiss Journal of Psychology, there's the European Journal of Psychology Open wo claims is on [4] and there's Swiss Psychology Open who became the new (relaunched) official journal of the Swiss Psychological Society [5]. Both claim to be the successors and I'm not sure how to handle this. Nobody (talk) 07:09, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Ewick and Silbey moved to draftspace
editThanks for your contributions to Ewick and Silbey. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and does not follow structure of an encyclopedia article, for example: no lead section; non-standard citation style; needs a better context for the reader.. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. JoeNMLC (talk) 19:54, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
