== Journal redirects ==
== Administrators' newsletter – October 2024 ==


Hi Randykitty, I've come to ask a question due to [[Special:Diff/1252649398|this edit]]. Does it make more sense for journal redirects to point to a list entry, instead of the publisher? Also, if you find the time, could you take a look at [[User talk:Headbomb#Mir@bel|this]]? Thanks [[User:1AmNobody24|<span style="border:1px solid black;padding:1px;background-color: #4D4DFF;color: white">Nobody</span>]] ([[User talk:1AmNobody24|<span style="color: #4D4DFF">talk</span>]]) 11:12, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

== NYU Law Review Logo ==

Hi Randykitty,

I'm not sure why you keep removing our logo from our page. You said it's nowhere in use but we use it in the office, on paraphernalia, and on all of our socials. That is our logo. I'm also struggling to understand why you removed it a second time after you were reversed. The last time you said the logo was not being used and another user told you it was.

*???? The last time that I removed this logo was in mid-August. As it is now used on 3 social media websites, I did not delete it after you added it again. --[[User:Randykitty|Randykitty]] ([[User talk:Randykitty#top|talk]]) 07:28, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

== Deletion review for [[:Radhika Muthukumar]] ==
[[Special:Contributions/117.230.159.51|117.230.159.51]] has asked for [[Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2024 October 6#Radhika Muthukumar|'''a deletion review''']] of [[:Radhika Muthukumar]]. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, you might want to participate in the deletion review.<!-- Template:DRV notice --> —[[User:Cryptic|Cryptic]] 19:09, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

== Heliyon and Scopus ==

Hi, Randykitty: it is always fun to bump into you.
I usually agree with and thank you for some your reversals, but not with the two about [[Heliyon]].
1) Who owns Scopus is important here, because both Scopus and Heliyon are owned by [[Elsevier]], and the latter has been accused of unfair promotion of its journals: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Elsevier&action=edit&section=17 . I feel, that instead of deleting the infor about Elsevier ownership, it should be expanded to mention the unfair promotion, such as [[Manipulation of bibliometrics]].
2) mentioning the OA publishing cost is important here, because it is fairly high compared to other OA mega-journals, and because such high OA price motivates the Publishers to accept every manuscript, including those that resulted in Heliyon "delisting" by the Web of Science. Again, I feel that this topic should be expanded rather than deleted. If I do not hear back from you within the next few days, I will proceed with the proposed expansion.

PS: I feel that this communication belongs on the [[Heliyon]]'s article discussion page (where I am posting its copy) rather than in your mailbox, but I do not know how to draw your attention to the article discussion. I became a wiki-dragon only recently, and I avoided the wiki-drama in my larval stage. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Walter Tau|Walter Tau]] ([[User talk:Walter Tau#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Walter Tau|contribs]]) </small>

Before posting here, please READ THIS FIRST

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).

Journal redirects

[edit]

Hi Randykitty, I've come to ask a question due to this edit. Does it make more sense for journal redirects to point to a list entry, instead of the publisher? Also, if you find the time, could you take a look at this? Thanks Nobody (talk) 11:12, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
