Redirects

edit

Hi Headbomb, I know you created some redirects to Swiss Journal of Economics and Statistics which I created and I'm wondering where you got them from and under what policy they're created, as I've found some more at Wikipedia:WikiProject Academic Journals/Journals cited by Wikipedia/Publisher2 that could possibly be created. Nobody (talk) 08:37, 6 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure I understand, the redirects I made were are all former names of the journal? What's the issue here? Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 13:38, 6 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
If you mean there are closely related redlinks, make sure they're not typos/misabbreviations (e.g. Swiss J Economics Statistics should be either the fully abbreviated Swiss J Econ Stat or the fully unabbreviated Swiss Journal of Economics Statistics). Fixing the articles with those is the better solution than creating other redirects. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 13:43, 6 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
I had 3 in mind. 2 (La Revue suisse d'économie politique et de statistique and Revue suisse d'Économie politique et de Statistique) are similar similar to one that you created (Revue Suisse d'Économie Politique et de Statistique) and the other one was Swiss J Economics Statistics. They aren't realy important, but they were used as the publications name in the past. Nobody (talk) 14:01, 6 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
You can either normalize the capitalization, or tag those with {{R from alternate capitalisation}}. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 14:02, 6 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. Also a heads-up that I might soon create a article for Alpine Entomology a redirect which you created. Nobody (talk) 14:07, 6 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Sticky table problems

edit

Can you tell us if you see other problems than the ones already mentioned here:

So we can fix, or improve it. Please comment there. --Timeshifter (talk) 04:21, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Amongst other things, it also got rid of the color-coding. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 04:23, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. Can you please comment there if you saw any other problems. I am not the editor of {{sticky table start}}, and I don't want to have to try to explain what you are seeing to the template editor: Jroberson108.
Any other observations there would be appreciated. It is a new version of a popular template, {{sticky header}}, and the problems are still being worked out.
I updated the link to the talk page section. --Timeshifter (talk) 04:55, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Publisher for you

edit

This journal: https://search.worldcat.org/title/cainozoic-research/oclc/51307519 has been mentioned at Wikipedia talk:Notability (species). I don't see anything about it being predatory online (though it's apparently published some articles about predatory snails), but I thought you might be interested in looking into it.

Verywell

edit

Hi Headbomb. Regarding this: the Verywell sites are in fact *unjustly* banned. They don't belong on the spamlist, because they aren't spamsites.

In December 2018, someone reported three of the four Verywell sites to WT:SBL, citing a tiny shred of evidence that quickly falls apart on inspection. An admin than impulsively banned the sites. Ever since, noone has unbanned them, either because of gross stupidity, or due to a conspiracy to keep them banished. I have evidence of both.

I see you are an admin. Can you remove those sites from the banlist? Thanks! Have a nice day, Manifestation (talk) 08:48, 16 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

First I'm not an admin. The place to raise these issues is that WP:RSN. But you've tried that several times and convinced few people, and admitted that Verywell is often "not the greatest". There's already other more reliable sources here, so I fail to see why Verywell is needed. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 14:47, 16 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
People weren't convinced because they didn't pay attention. You can't convince people who are close-minded.
The spamlist should not be used to ban popular press sources. If you ban Verywell, then you should also ban: Men's Health, Women's Health, Psychology Today, Healthy Children, ScienceDaily, Healthline, Medical News Today, Daily Mirror, Sunday Mail, Investopedia.
Guess what? None of those websites are banned. It is advised against citing them, but you can still link to them.
I'm struggling to figure out how I can get people to listen to me. It will definitely take a lot of time to collect the evidence I need. Time which I don't have right now... - Manifestation (talk) 19:32, 16 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
