Your addition to Journal of Environmental Radioactivity has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Kolbasz (talk) 12:16, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Specifically, the lead was copied straight from the journal's "about" page. It's great that you're adding articles on these journals (radiation research is a bit underrepresented on Wikipedia at the moment, for example), but you have to come up with your own descriptions and not copy the journals' own. I also had to edit the lead of Radiation Protection Dosimetry due to some overly close paraphrasing. Kolbasz (talk) 12:30, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help. I have now tidied up the scope on some of the other edits to articles I made earlier today. Alex Malins (talk) 14:50, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Academic journal articles[edit]

Hi, thanks for creating articles on academic journals, an area where still a lot needs to be done. You can find some helpful tips on writing such articles in our journal article writing guide. Happy editing! --Randykitty (talk) 23:55, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
