| == More journal spam == | |||

| *Not sure I get this. I get so many that I am losing track... They all go into my spam email immediately, although sometimes I respond and tell them that I'll never submit anything to them, will never review for them, and won't even read any article published in their crappy journals. Doesn't seem to help, though... :-) --] (]) 10:06, 2 October 2014 (UTC) | |||
| == ''How much more of this crap is there??'' == | |||
| Unfortunately, there is much MUCH more. I have been taking the approach of tagging articles for sources and/or notability, coming back through and looking myself for sources (adding ''if'' I find any), and eventually coming to AfD once the search is exhausted. Now there's another editor summarily removing the tags without improving the articles, so I'm probably just going to have to bring them one-by-one to AfD. It's such a huge mess of inbred articles and lists that it will take much longer to unravel than it took to create. | |||
| This whole mess was created by one or two editors who are ] in this space, and now it leaves me looking like I'm on a crusade - when I'm just attempting to restore some sanity. Past attempts to go to the various projects who might be interested have met with either resistance or apathy - so now I have a new vocation, I guess. | |||
| Thanks for keeping an eye on things... Cheers! ] (]) 16:16, 3 October 2014 (UTC) | |||
| *Yeah, I keep seeing stuff pop up... And you're right, it's much easier to create a mess than it is to clean it up. Just spend a few days cleaning up journal articles created by Sage Publications editorial assistants... --] (]) 16:23, 3 October 2014 (UTC) | |||
| :*Ouch. The worst I'd dealt with (before this) was trying to make some sense of MMA articles - I gave up. In this case, it's the amount of ''reading'' that I was unprepared for. I'd bet that between myself, {{U|Astynax}}, and {{U|Nwlaw63}} we have read nearly every cut/paste/reprint journal or book by the self-appointed academics in this field - and I know my brain hurts.

Hello, Randykitty,
It was great to see that you have been closing some AFDs today. Your help has been missed!
