Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Entropy (journal) may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Edit note on Entropy article

Hi Athiesen - in your recent edit you wrote "previous editor was trying to insinuate that we don`t peer review - please play fair". Could you please explain the "we"? If you have a WP:COI then a) you should declare it and b) you should not edit the article and c) you should limit yourself to making comments on Talk. If you do not have a COI... please do explain the "we". Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 13:11, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jytdog, It`s simple: I work for MDPI, the publisher of Entropy (as noted on my personal page). Unlike other (anonymous) users who are clearly trying to damage the journal (who are they affiliated with?) I am not afraid of admitting that. You can check my track record, its spotless. Best wishes,

Alex Athiesen (talk) 13:23, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Alex, thanks for your reply! Under WP:COI you should not edit the articles for any of MDPI's journals. By editing the Entropy article and other MDPI articles, you have done something pretty "spotty." By not making your COI clear on the Talk pages of the MDPI-related articles you have edited, you have definitely done something "spotty." Please do carefully read WP:COI and please refrain from editing articles related to MDPI. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 13:54, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Sure i will do so - i wish this policy could not be easily circumvented by editing anonymously (like everyone else does in the marketing industry/on Wikipedia). Btw. the COI clearly states that "Adding material that appears to advance the interests or promote the visibility of an article's author, the author's family, employer, clients, associates or business, places the author in a conflict of interest". On the contrary we have only added neutral and reliable material (as opposed to said "editors" of the Entropy article whose clearly biased content is being tolerated). However, if you insist on your interpretation I will of course refrain from adding anything.

Best, Alex Athiesen (talk) 14:24, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

One of the beautiful things about Wikipedia is that there are no bosses here - we have policies, guidelines, essays, and several processes by which the community governs itself. So you don't have to follow my interpretation. Are you familiar with the BP article. A BP PR guy named "Arturo" works on that article. He presents material in Talk and asks other editors to comment, modify, and actually edit the article. He is scrupulously stays away from editing and declares his COI all the time so that even new editors are aware of it. (a model PR guy working on wikipedia, in my mind). Nonetheless, a writer named Violet Blue wrote a nasty (and in my mind, fairly ignorant) article savaging him, BP, and wikipedia for following that process http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57575460-93/bp-accused-of-rewriting-environmental-record-on-wikipedia/. This caused a big ruckus in various Talk pages (including Jimmy Wales' Talk page) and some editors have been advocating completely banning COI editing via new policy. This is the kind of thing that the COI guideline (not policy) was built to help Wikipedia manage - see especially the paragraph in the lede: "COI editing is strongly discouraged. It risks causing public embarrassment to the individuals and groups being promoted (see Wikipedia is in the real world)), and if it causes disruption to the encyclopedia, accounts may be blocked." Again, Arturo was as scrupulous as he could be; he will not be banned but he sure has been (unfairly) pilloried, as has BP. The latter is not a great outcome for him, professionally. Although those who are well informed respect him. In any case, I strongly recommend that you follow his example. But you are free to do as you like! MDPI is not as controversial or high profile as BP so it seems unlikely that anybody is going to bother you much, in any case. Oh and btw, pointing at some possible conflicts that other editors, who are anonymous, may or may not have, is about the worst rhetorical strategy a guy in your shoes can deploy - the effort to deflect attention from your COI will inflame the focus and intensity of those who are deadly opposed to COI editing and will make your wiki-life worse, not better; I strongly recommend you stop using that line of response and instead discuss only your own COI and how you have managed it. Anyway, thanks for talking. Jytdog (talk) 14:47, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the advice and thanks for investing some of your time.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Materials 2013.png

A tag has been placed on File:Materials 2013.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

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 "Click here to 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.
