ISSN error?

Sorry to bother you again with a technical issue, but you know I have no idea how to fix it. On my draft for Grünberg I am getting an error message on the ISSN, which I cannot figure out. You can see it in the journal on p 2 and in worldcat, so I can't figure out what to do about the error message. Can you help? SusunW (talk) 18:04, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

@SusunW: Long story short, ISSN 0140-7340 does not follow the standard rules of an ISSN. The ISSN should be ISSN 0140-7341, but that's not what some bureaucrat decided to rubber stamp a while back. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 19:41, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Honest to pete, I cannot figure out how you know this stuff. I believe you just have magic. Thanks so much for your help. SusunW (talk) 19:50, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Magic. And loads of Ms Vickies chips. But also it's in the documentation (see Help:CS1#ATAWM). Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 19:55, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

LOL. Next time I'll send you some chips. I am sure there will be a next time because those help pages are completely baffling to me. I appreciate you. SusunW (talk) 20:23, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Asian Journal of Chemical Sciences

Dear Headbomb! You removed a peer-revied reference from humic substance wikipedia article.

You are not right! That is an ordinary journal article. It was published in Asian Journal of Chemical Sciences and you can even read the names of the referees:

https://www.sdiarticle5.com/review-history/76978

That was a serous element analytical investigation, you should restore that reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sci1972 (talk • contribs)

This refers to this edit, and I stand by it. Asian Journal of Chemical Sciences is journal from the well-known predatory publisher Sciencedomain International. It is not a reliable source. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 19:19, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Sciences edits

Headbomb, I have previously disclosed my working relationship with Frontiers and that I am making edits with the knowledge of my colleagues. If you're insisting on use of the specific COI tag for all edits, we can discuss that in terms of parity with all other edits to similar scholarly journal pages. But the edits themselves should remain for their factual accuracy. Happy to discuss further. Thank you! Tomciav (talk) 23:26, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

As explained to you both on the warning and at WP:JWG#COI, you are required by policy (see WP:PAID) to have these tags.

You can discuss your proposed edits on the article's talk page. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 23:27, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Headbomb, who are the "both"? I'm the only party working on behalf of Frontiers. Randykitty has yet to disclose their potential conflicts.

As for use of the COI tag — it is indeed the letter of the law. But it's neither used nor enforced consistently across all pages for academic journals. So I'll need to see the community moderate its zeal for selective edits before I annotate every edit with a COI. A public disclosure on the article Talk page should suffice.

All that said, I respectfully request you roll back the page to my edits from a few hours ago. If you'd like to discuss offline I'm tom.ciavarella [at] frontiersin [dot] org Tomciav (talk) 02:17, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Both refers to "on the warning and at WP:JWG#COI" (there was a typo). RK doesn't have a COI.

As for So I'll need to see the community moderate its zeal for selective edits before I annotate every edit with a COI. , but don't be surprised when you end up blocked.

As for I respectfully request you roll back the page to my edits from a few hours ago. Simply put, no. Your edits are promotional and do not improve the page. If you disagree, you can take it to the talk page, where such discussions belong. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 02:28, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Cite simbad

You reverted my edit to Template:Cite simbad/doc, saying the template does not accept all parameters that {{cite web}} does. I just used Module:Template wrapper in {{Cite simbad}} to enable that. May I restore my edit? — hike395 (talk) 03:20, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Why should the module support all the parameters of cite web? Why would support for, say, |ISSN= add? Why would anyone to add |via=? There's a reason only those parameters are supported. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 03:23, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Apologies. Your edit summary said "it does not", not that you were disagreeing with the template wrapping. — hike395 (talk) 03:30, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

At the time that's what I thought, as I didn't see the change, but I've since undone it. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 03:44, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Deleting a "predatory source"

Stop deleting referenced information as you did here for the second time with the reason being given as "predatory source". The author of the "predatory source", Rafaello Furlan, is the Head of Department for Architecture and Urban Planning at Qatar's largest university and the journal article is uploaded on Qatar University's website. Instead of blindly deleting "predatory sources" from articles you've never contributed to, it might help to use a little common sense and check if the source is reliable first.
