A tag has been placed on List of Oxford University Press journals requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.oxfordjournals.org/en/our-journals/. 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 or other printed material 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 or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — 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 or image 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.

Hi, I'm DrStrauss. Jpbowen, thanks for creating Galerie Karsten Greve!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Hi, I've reviewed your article! There are some substantial issues in the article which need rectifying, please can you rectify these ASAP. Thank you.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Which you wrote, but to be honest after reading the article I can't figure out what it means. And I think this is not because it's a hard subject with lots of technical terms, but rather that it's a buzzword and vague marketing-type blather. Since to my mind it doesn't actually say anything useful, I was going to nominate it for deletion (and still might). Here's my take on the matter:
What even is this? I don't see any real evidence here that "creative computing" isn't just a meaningless marketing-type buzzword of limited notability.
As far as I can figure -- and TBH this article not only explains nothing but is actually the rare article where I knew less after reading it than before -- "Creative computing" is just an amalgam of "creative" and "computing", that is, using computers in some creative way (" Creativity, phenomenon whereby something new and valuable is created").
It's just a literal term -- as far as I can figure from the article. We don't have articles on literal terms where there's no new meaning or idiom created by combining the constituent terms, such as " Silver car" and so forth ("A silver car is an automobile in which the metal outer surface is primarily colored silver...").
OK so let's see what the article says.
The lede says "Creative computing covers the area of creativity and computing, addressing the issue of knowledge discovery". Knowledge discovery in turn says it "describes the process of automatically searching large volumes of data for patterns that can be considered knowledge about the data". (Which I guess these patterns would be considered metadata.) It's an offshoot of data mining.
OK. There's a ref for this, which I can't access but the abstract says "creativity has become one of the core competitive advantages in recent years. There is no doubt that knowledge is the strongest backup for it. Therefore, to discover appropriate knowledge for creative tasks is critical. While the seeking of knowledge by other professionals is still within the computing field, Creative Computing starts to think about exploring useful knowledge outside the traditional area" and so forth. Whatever this person is trying to say (who knows?) does not support anything about metadata etc.
OK moving on. Body of the article begins
"Creative computing refers to a meta-technology to coalesce knowledge in computing and other disciplines. The International Journal of Creative Computing highlights creativity in the technological domain to utilise fully knowledge in the human domain while not excluding creativity in the latter..."
Da hell. Please do not let me get stuck in an elevator with this guy. This looks like rank blather to me. I recognize it as English, and it's not like there are a lot of hard technical terms, but... I'm not learning anything here. It doesn't really get any better. This article contains words but does not seem to be contributing anything to the sum of human knowledge.
OK, then "A number of university degree programmes in Creative Computing exist" and it lists three. Bath Spa university has one. Let's see... website has "Learn by making. Build imaginative games, web apps, digital interfaces and interactive artworks.... Ever wondered how to code beautiful web apps, bring stories to life through animation, or build those intuitive little smartphone games that you just can’t seem to put down? Our Creative Computing course could be for you."
Fine, but there's nothing there to indicate that they're not just using the words "creative" and "computing" together in their literal sense -- you create code! You create apps! They could have called it " Runcible Computing" and probably would have if they thought it would sell better.
Goldsmith University has "This degree will prepare you to take an active role in the creation of computational systems in arts, music, film, digital media, and other areas of the software industry that require creative individuals... You'll explore how computing interacts with a wide range of other subject areas, including applications in the arts and creative industries".
OK! There's a little more here about being involved, as a computer person, in the creative arts. If "creative computing" meant "the intersection of computing with the creative arts" such as CGI or digital music or whatever, that'd be different. We'd have a different article. But this current article says literally nothing about that and says other things instead. If "creative computing" really is used idiomatically in this way to a notable degree (I dunno -- doubt it) and we want an article about that, then we need to erase this article and start all over.
Wrexham Glyndŵr University, similar: "You will develop industry-relevant vocational skills and gain experience required for employment in the digital media industries". Again, nothing to do with "meta-technology to coalesce knowledge in computing and other discipline" which is how the term is defined earlier.
And none of these are MIT. Goldsmith is part of the University of London, but the other two look kind of small. If MIT and Cambridge etc. were using the term "creative computing" in this manner it might make a difference.
Finally, there's a blurb for the International Journal of Creative Computing which, fine, I suppose. Doesn't seem to be a very notable entity. If its notable enough for a stand-alone article (doubtful) let's have that; if not, it's maybe not a big loss.
But since you're a long-term editor, rather than sending it to WP:AFD I'll give you an chance to maybe address these concerns and knock the article into some kind of shape, if you care to. If you're like me you hate to see your articles AFD'd. Or explain to me here what the article is supposed to be about and maybe together we can figure out a better way to communicate this, if you wish.

Goldsmith University has "This degree will prepare you to take an active role in the creation of computational systems in arts, music, film, digital media, and other areas of the software industry that require creative individuals... You'll explore how computing interacts with a wide range of other subject areas, including applications in the arts and creative industries".
OK! There's a little more here about being involved, as a computer person, in the creative arts. If "creative computing" meant "the intersection of computing with the creative arts" such as CGI or digital music or whatever, that'd be different. We'd have a different article. But this current article says literally nothing about that and says other things instead. If "creative computing" really is used idiomatically in this way to a notable degree (I dunno -- doubt it) and we want an article about that, then we need to erase this article and start all over.
Wrexham Glyndŵr University, similar: "You will develop industry-relevant vocational skills and gain experience required for employment in the digital media industries". Again, nothing to do with "meta-technology to coalesce knowledge in computing and other discipline" which is how the term is defined earlier.
And none of these are MIT. Goldsmith is part of the University of London, but the other two look kind of small. If MIT and Cambridge etc. were using the term "creative computing" in this manner it might make a difference.
Finally, there's a blurb for the International Journal of Creative Computing which, fine, I suppose. Doesn't seem to be a very notable entity. If its notable enough for a stand-alone article (doubtful) let's have that; if not, it's maybe not a big loss.
But since you're a long-term editor, rather than sending it to WP:AFD I'll give you an chance to maybe address these concerns and knock the article into some kind of shape, if you care to. If you're like me you hate to see your articles AFD'd. Or explain to me here what the article is supposed to be about and maybe together we can figure out a better way to communicate this, if you wish.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Charles Lang Freer, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Whistler. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, Jpbowen.
AS one of Wikipedia's most experienced editors, |
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved.
Please note also that per WP:COI, repeatedly re-creating an article on your publisher is not cool. Not even slightly. Guy ( Help!) 15:32, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
Hello, Jpbowen.
Also, while I am here: I recently sent you an invitation to join NPP, but you also might be the right candidate for another related project,
AfC, which is also extremely backlogged. |
