Black Scholar

[edit]

The journal,The Black Scholar, has been COI-ridden for many, many years. When asked, the editor admitted to their COI and seems receptive to feedback on the article talk page. More eyes on this would be helpful for cleanup/NPOV purposes. Dr. Swag Lord (talk) 21:21, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Dr.Swag Lord, Ph.d, hope you are doing well!
I reviewed partially paragraph or section 1 and made minor edit, citations are needed and typographical error correction should be made. I will review the integrety of the document if possible during the wee-end and update as needed here.

RetractionBot

[edit]

I posted this story from the Signpost last month. Things have evolved a bit and now Retraction bot handles {{Erratum}}, {{Expression of concern}}, and {{Retracted}}. These populate the following categories:

  1. Academic authorship
  2. Environmental Sciences Europe
  3. Food and Chemical Toxicology
  4. International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health
  5. Nature (journal)
  6. PLOS One
  7. Scientific Reports
  8. Virology Journal
  1. No journal-related articles
  1. No journal-related articles

If the citation is no longer reliable, then the article needs to be updated, which could be as minor as the removal/replacement of the citation with a reliable one, to rewriting an entire section that was based on flawed premises. If the citation to a retracted paper was intentional, like in the context of a controversy noting that a paper was later retracted, you can replace {{retraction|...}} with {{retraction|...|intentional=yes}}/{{expression of concern|...}} with {{expression of concern|...|intentional=yes}}/{{Erratum|...}} with {{Erratum|...|checked=yes}}.

I put the list of articles within the scope of WP:JOURNALS in sub-bullets. Feel free to remove/strike through those you've dealt with. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 02:51, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ancient TL

[edit]

This AfD suffers from a lack of quorum and could use the input of knowledgeable editors. Thanks! --Randykitty (talk) 08:13, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Using Wikidata as backup for when |website is left empty in Infobox Journal

[edit]

According to this list there are currently around 700 articles that use {{Infobox journal}} without the |website parameter. This is either because there is none, there was one that isn't available anymore or because it hasn't been added yet. I wonder if we could use the Wikidata value in cases like this. The expected behaviour would be: If the journal doesn't have a website, it should also have nothing to add from Wikidata; if the website is dead it should be deprecated on Wikidata and therefore also not show here; if theres a normal or preferred value on Wikidata it will show that one on here. Thoughts on this? Nobody (talk) 18:14, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As a backup, sure. But Wikidata data is evil, and shouldn't be relied upon. Wikidata can sync from Wikipedia if they want, but the reverse shouldn't be true. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 19:21, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
