Copy and paste move

Please do not do this, it is against policy and against the WP license. Please continue editing the article with the typo in the name. I'll have the new page you just made deleted and then the "typo" should be moved to the correct title. Thanks. --Crusio (talk) 09:01, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Crusio, I'll come back tomorrow. Sorry for the trouble. I should not have gone live with this. Next time I'll build at my user page then move.--Logicalgregory (talk) 09:14, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Journal name

Hi, as far as I can see, the WB site lists " Information Systems Journal" as reference for even the first editorial in vol 1 issue 1. Where does the former name come from? I don't think library records (which sometimes are faulty) should take precedence over the publisher's site. Having said this, I don't have access to this journal, so I haven't been able to check whether the PDF of the editorial lists perhaps a different title. --Crusio (talk) 10:51, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Crusio, I published a paper in this journal in 1993. It states on my off-print "J of Info System (1993) 3". Apparently Avison and Fitzgerald were not aware that an American Journal with that name already existed (or so the story goes). The British library entry is definitely correct. Thanks for your attention on this. Regards, --Logicalgregory (talk) 12:39, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But that doesn't explain why the WB site does not mention the previous title... --Crusio (talk) 14:15, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I presume that when Wiley took over Blackwell, somebody made a bad job of integrating their databases. This is something that happens all the time, in my experience.

The library of Congress lists Information Systems Journal from 1994 onwards, no record of Journal of Information Systems (maybe they did not get it). British Library lists Information Systems Journal, Oxford, Blackwell, 1994-, "continues" Journal of Information Systems. Then there is an entry for Journal of Information Systems, Oxford, Blackwell Scientific, Vol 1, no 1 (Jan 1991) - Vol 4, no 3 (Jul 1994) "Continued by" Information Systems Journal.

I think the reliability of library records depends on the the library. And the reliability of publishers records depends on the publisher. Having worked as a bibliographer at the British Museum Library (which later became the British Library) I have personal experience of their diligence in cataloging work. I, personally, would always give precedence to this library catalogue. However, in the case of mismatch between BL and publisher records the physical copy can always be consulted.

In this case there can be no doubt I have an original copy of a the 1993 off-print in front of me and this clearly states on the page header "J of Info System (1993) 3". --Logicalgregory (talk) 15:57, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Appeal to nature

Thankyou for taking the time to comment on the Appeal to nature article - i was starting to wonder for my sanity :). Another editor who has read on the subject is willing to help balance and cite the article so it may not be deleted. I put the article up for deletion as i have not enough experience to write it myself and, what i believe is the popular misunderstanding of the phrase, may be very difficult edit alongside. I am hopeful that User:Walkinxyz can help make an intresting article. It would be great if you could also have a look some time. -best regards Lisnabreeny (talk) 01:26, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
