Speedy deletion nomination of Semantic Web (journal)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Semantic Web (journal) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Creating articles on academic journals

Before creating an article about an academic journal, please read the journal articles writing guide and notability of academic journals. Please do not copy any text from the journal's own website, because that most probably is a copyright violation and even if it isn't, generally results in articles that are very promotional in tone and end up being deleted as spam. Thanks. --Crusio (talk) 17:56, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello Pashi. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Semantic Web (journal), you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to you, your organization or its competitors; and
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Crusio (talk) 18:30, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, Crusio. Obviously, I'm learning while we're under way, and I apologize for any obvious naivity on my part. I do not believe that neutrality or verifiability criteria have been violated. Would the most appropriate way to proceed be to "officially" release the copyright to the text, or should it rather be rewritten? Any other suggestion how to proceed? Pashi (talk) 18:36, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

• No need to apologize for being a beginner (and that will go over with time... :-) My advice is to let it go. At this point, the journal does not meet the criteria outlined in WP:GNG or WP:NJournals. If the article stays despite the current copyright situation (or after a possible rewrite), it will certainly end up at a deletion discussion (AfD). If the journal becomes notable in the future, re-creating the article is easier after a "speedy deletion" than after an AfD. --Crusio (talk) 21:05, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
