A tag has been placed on Medicinal and aromatic plants association of india requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Proposed deletion of Open Access Journal of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants
According to its website, this journal has not yet published any issues. It is not indexed by any indexing or abstracting service and therefore fails notability guidelines.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can 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 a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Guillaume2303 (talk) 08:32, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
it is now one year since WikiProject Open Access was started by User:Bluerasberry on January 10, 2012. Since then, the project has advanced modestly, but we have not interacted much. For the coming year, we certainly want to improve on that.
We also plan to overhaul the project pages to make them more conducive to collaboration, and we are pondering the idea of expanding the concept of a WikiProject Open Access to projects other than the English Wikipedia, e.g. to other languages or to Wikimedia Commons. You are warmly invited to add your voice to all that. We would also appreciate if you would share some of your OA-related activities by way of our news ticker or via the monthly Open Access report that is part of the GLAM newsletter (to which you can subscribe here), or as you see fit otherwise.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.
The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.
The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.
Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
Remove anything in the Signature: text box. (It might already be empty.)
Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)

The comment the reviewer left was:
At this point, the article doesn't show notability, but if the journal is indeed indexed in Scopus (which has to be shown by a link to Scopus, see below) then that is fine. However, the article is not acceptable as is (for example, the in-line external links have to go). For tips on how to make his into a more meaty acceptable article, see our journal article writing guide. Pre-formatted references can be found on my user page. Hope this helps.

GLAM Wiki conference report: GLAM Wiki Conference 2023: Announcing the venue & scholarship application process open
It was great seeing you at the event held by The Society for Experimental Biology 1.5 week ago! It looks like you have edited Wikipedia for a while, but I will leave a message here with the same resources I have provided the new editors with anyway:
If you enjoyed talking to other people about editing Wikipedia and its sister projects, there are other events you can join (many are hybrid) here (none are related to SEB). I often attend the events held by the University of Edinburgh, which are open to everyone.
If you edit Wikipedia in your own time and have a question, here is a link to the Teahouse that Nick Moyes talked about. You can ask questions there whenever you like.
Here is a link to the event page where you can find useful resources like short videos about how to edit Wikipedia. (That page might be moved/the title might change, so if that link does not work, you can find more resources here).
If you want me to send the slides in an email to you, you can send me an email from my userpage (click on "reached by email" in the userbox with the text "This user can be reached by email.").
Here is a summary of the outcome of the event. We edited 54 articles, created 2 new articles, and added almost 30 000 words and 2 images.
I hope to see you again sometime in the future, and good luck with your future editing!
