Why a redirect to non-existing article would be useful?Xx236 (talk) 07:15, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

There, fixed. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 12:06, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

Good article nominations

Thanks for your edits to George William Symes. I currently have three articles at WP:GAN#CHEM: Frank Spedding, Edwin McMillan and Willard Libby. If you could review one or more of them, that would be much appreciated. Hawkeye7 (talk) 07:33, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

I'm sorry but I'll have to decline. I just don't have time for GA reviews at the moment. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 12:07, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

Recent page moves

Hi, I find your use of disambiguators confusing. A few days ago, you moved the articles on the two journals (one defunct) with the title Open Medicine to "Open Medicine (publisher's name)". Today you moved Journal of Optics to "Journal of Optics (publisher's name journal)". Why the different treatment? I find the former much more logical than the latter (apart from the not-very-pretty repeated use of "journal" in the title). Perhaps an oversight? --Randykitty (talk) 15:38, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Not quite sure what you find inconsistent. I moved Journal of Optics (IOP Publishing) to Journal of Optics (IOP Publishing journal) for consitency with our other dab'd titles (e.g. Physics (American Physical Society journal)). If I moved things to 'Open Medicine (publisher's name), then that's an oversight/mistake, and they should have been at Open Medicine (publisher's name journal).

Journals

Dear Headbomb,

I've seen, that you are preparing lists of missing academic journals from WP:JCW. May you send me a table of the most-cited journals in english-language Wikipedia? I would like to check their coverage in German Wikipedia.--Kopiersperre (talk) 14:26, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
