Environmental experts needed :)

Hi OhanaUnited,

There have been a number of environmental projects started here and there... a few I can think of offhand:

• Project proposal:global warming -- I'm not sure where that stands now... it was one of the first proposals back in 2006 I think
• Bloom Clock -- Essentially a phenology project... among other things the data collections will hopefully be handy for later projects tracking changes in bloom time as local and global temperature trends change
• Radio Discussion/Living on Earth -- Something a couple of us were experimenting with this past winter, using a radio show as our "lecture" and collecting materials for further learning.

I'm not by any means an expert in environmental science, but as a horticulurist and farmer I'm well-versed in managing my local ecology... let me know if you start something! --SB_Johnny | ^talk 15:06, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Commons

Is there a page on commons somewhere with the questions? I'm sure I could round up a few interested commonists on IRC if you give me a link :). --SB_Johnny | ^talk 14:15, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Clarifications

Hi OhanaUnited, I've asked some questions at User talk:OhanaUnited/Sister Projects Interview#Voice(s) - I'd appreciate if you could clarify before I contribute to your initiative. Thanks, Cormaggio ^talk 13:54, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

removing

I removed the signatures after names in order to move forward summarizing the answers... and then I saw that you said to not do that... I reverted... How would be best to summarize the answers? --Remi 04:05, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

I voiced a related question in the "Voice(s)" section on the talk page.. Cormaggio ^talk 12:40, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Maps via Wikidata

I remember you were testing maybe plotting a map of editor locations. I've been testing generating a map in Wikidata. If we include all journal editors on the WikiJournal's page then it's possible to find the geocoordinates of their employer. Eventually it should be automate-able via this bot request, but would have to be done manually for now. T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)^talk 06:22, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

Re: A Phonological Analysis of Selected Nigerian Newscasters Rendition

I appreciate your consideration of my article for publication. However, you have not provided an email address where I could send the word version or preferably, I would like to be guided on how to get the article uploaded on wiki commons. Thank you.

The Validity of WikiJournal Preprints/The Effect of Corticosteroids on the Mortality Rate in COVID-19 Patients, v2

Hello Andrew,

I'm coming to you to ask whether the mentioned paper's topic/objective is suitable for publication in the WikiJournal of Medicine. I was going to extensively work on it this summer, but I wanted to get written confirmation that this paper would be suited for my time in developing it.

I also wanted to see if a Wikijournal of Humanities paper on Meditation would be suitable. I'm not sure if you're familiar with that wikijournal's guidelines, but I figured it was worth asking.

Thank you, —Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 21:20, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

Request

Please, I do not know whether you could help upload the article if I send its soft copy as MS word document or pdf to you. Thanks. Margob28 (discuss • contribs) 03:44, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Volunteering to help with WikiJournal of Humanities

I kinf of forgot about WikiJournals for a few years, and I am amazed at the progress made. Well, as a real-life professor of sociology, I'd be happy to help with WikiJournal of Humanities which seems to be closed to my field. Do let me know how I can help, assuming of course you need any assistance. (If you reply here, please ping me back, TIA). Piotrus (discuss • contribs) 03:31, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

In other news

I am a strict believer in learning from the bottoms up (as a teacher who tells students to edit Wikipedia, for example, I never ask them to do things I haven't done myself before). And it so happens, I have a publication that I think is within the scope of WikiJournal Medicine, and now that I know it is indexed in SCOPUS, it meets my university's requirements too. As I am not yet on the board or such, I think I have no COI, so I decided to went ahead and submit my work at WikiJournal Preprints/Where experts and amateurs meet: the ideological hobby of medical volunteering on Wikipedia . Before I finish copyediting it (I think I need to upload images to Wikimedia Commons and reformat references to footnotes) and finish the rest of the submission procedure, can I ask you to confirm that this topic is within the scope of WJMED and our previous conversation does not create any COI for me to submit it (I am fine putting my editorial application fpr WJHUM from yesterday on hold for the duration of the review process, if necessary)? Oh, to confirm, WikiJournals allows and prefers non-anonymous submissions, right? So I don't need to anonymize citations to my own work, etc.? Piotrus (discuss • contribs) 05:08, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

@Piotrus: Each WikiJournal (Medicine, Science, Humanities) has separate editorial boards, similar to how "Nature Medicine" and "Nature Chemistry" are two different journals, have different editor-in-chief and different ISSN/DOI even though they are both owned and published by Springer Nature. Each WikiJournal operates and makes article decisions independently from each other while sharing same pool of resources (hired contractors, H/R, overhead cost). Therefore, whether or not you are on the Humanities board will not cause a COI when submitting to Medicine. I am the managing editor for Science, so our conversations won't cause any COI. I will defer your question on whether your preprint falls into the scope of Medicine to User:Rwatson1955, who is the managing editor for the Medicine journal. And yes, we ask that "authors should be given by real names in their articles" so there is no need to anonymize. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 15:58, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

I submitted my article two days ago and filled in a Google Form, which suggested I'd receive confirmation email, but nothing happened and the article still has a notice that it is not submitted for review. Any chance you could check from your end if things are fine or ping someone who can, as maybe I haven't clicked something correctly or such? Piotrus (discuss • contribs) 14:09, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

@Piotrus: That's my fault. Been busy with work. I'll process the new submissions today and update the status. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 15:14, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Concerning an article

Hello, I'm not sure if you are aware that I have written a new article on Wikiversity, entitled: Orhan Gazi, the first Statesman,

I started it in September 2022 and finished it in March of the same year, and I was hoping that finding some peer reviewers wouldn't take much time. However, the article remained as it was for more than a year, and I had to ask two professors I know personally to check my work, which they did and their notes were sent in pdf format and added here.

Now the article still needs an editor, before it can be finalized and published, and a fellow Wikipedian, Alaa, suggested your name. I hope that perhaps you could check it.

Please let me know what you think, best wishes-- باسم (discuss • contribs) 20:17, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

Japanese rendering

Thanks to your help, I could make Japanese translation of bioclogging article. I feel that display style of Japanese sentense is wierd, because breakline is restricted to some characters such as "、". Japanese does not break words with spaces, as normal in western languages, and therefore we break lines anywhere. For example, see Japanese edition of bioclogging article in Wikipedia.

It can be fixed by using css. For example, in this paragraph

バイオクロッギングは、水が浸透する様々な現場で観察される。たとえば、ため池、浸透トレンチ、灌漑水路、下水処理場、人工湿地、廃棄物処分場における遮水ライナー、川床や土壌のような自然環境などである。また、透過反応壁 (PRB) や微生物利用石油増進回収法 (MEOR) などにおいて、帯水層における地下水の流れにも影響を及ぼす。適度な水の浸透速度を保つことが必要とされるような現場では、バイオクロッギングが問題となり、定期的に水を抜くなどの対策が取られることがある。一方で、たとえば、難透水層を作って浸透速度を低下させたり、地盤工学的性質を改善させたりするなど、バイオクロッギングが有効に活用されることもある。

We can set word-break: break-all, and then

Setting this to all paragraphs may be a solution. I would like to know if there is a smarter way to do the same thing. Katsutoshi Seki (discuss • contribs) 08:55, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

@Katsutoshi Seki Thanks for raising this issue. I can read and write in Chinese (and therefore I can read Japanese Kanji) so I understand what you're describing about the software not finding spaces to break up words to the next line. I have forced the software to consider appropriate line break locations. I'm confident with the line breaks in Kanji but less so in Katakana and Hiragana. And I don't know how it may look like under different computer screens (or mobile phone). Please review and see if the line breaks are done accurately. Also, can you please provide a Japanese translation for the phrases "For the English translation, please see this link." and "For the Japanese translation, please see this link."? OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 22:49, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Unfortunately, giving {{wbr}} to some places does not help much, because appropriate place for breaking line changes to various width of windows. Therefore, using <span style="word-break: break-all"> to all paragraphs, as I showed above, is necessary. I would like to know if there is an appropriate way to change the stylesheet in the page at once. For the translation, "For the English translation, please see this link."　to "英語版はこのリンク参照", and "For the Japanese translation, please see this link." to "日本語版はこのリンク参照" Katsutoshi Seki (discuss • contribs) 01:39, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for verifying. I have removed {{wbr}} and added <span style="word-break: break-all">. It doesn't seem very effective to bulleted items. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 04:35, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

I also added css to bulleted items. Now it works find. Katsutoshi Seki (discuss • contribs) 04:50, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

I created Template:BreakAll and applied. ChatGPT was helpful for creating the LUA module. Katsutoshi Seki (discuss • contribs) 12:55, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Article progress

Hi Ohana, it was great to meet you at the conference in November. I finally got around to finishing the revisions for WikiJournal Preprints/The Holocaust in Slovakia. As we discussed, I didn't expand the scope of the article to include Romani people, and I was unable to implement some of reviewer #2's comments because the information that would clarify is not in the cited source, or any other source that I'm aware of. Sorry for the very long delay on this article and I apologize if this is not the right forum to report progress. Buidhe (discuss • contribs) 03:45, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

new submissions/need to be imported

Hi, I noticed there are two new submissions (from new editors) at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiJournal_article_nominations, thank you --Ozzie10aaaa (discuss • contribs) 11:59, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

I don't have the required permission to import articles from Wikipedia to Wikiversity. I will need the "transwiki importer" permission, presumably to preserve article history and proper copyright attribution. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 04:40, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

A message from Guy vandegrift

Hi. I am so-called "founder" of the WikiJournal of Science (although dozens of people contributed much more than I ever did.) I was wondering if the WikiJournal project needs help. If so, let me know.----Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 01:25, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I'll email you with the details. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 03:58, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

@Guy vandegrift Did you receive the email that I sent last week? OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 18:17, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

I will look for it.--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 22:17, 22 April 2024 (UTC).

My guess is that you used the google wikijournal system and it went to a google email I rarely check. I just sent you an email through Wikiversity. Meanwhile I will lookup my google email password and probably find your message.Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 22:35, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

WikiJournal_Preprints/Induced_stem_cells

Hello, I assume that you are involved in the management of Wikijournals and their preprints. Thank you for your contributions. I'm sending this message to alert you that a preprint is currently subject to copyright-related investigations, this may affect the preprint review procedure and I thought someone who knows more about Wikijournals should be contacted. The background information can be seen at Wikiversity:Request_custodian_action#Induced_stem_cells_copyright_issues. In your opinion, what should be done by the custodians for this preprint? I look forward to hearing from you. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 02:02, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. What you described is very concerning. We did conduct a plagiarism check 3 years ago when the preprint was submitted and it was determined that the similarities were deemed to be common phases in that field. Right now the tool is timing out due to high request volume so I can't do another check now. I'm going to ping @Evolution and evolvability since he's the handling editor for this submission and he knows more about cells & proteins than me. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 04:15, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Question about the WikiJournal license status
