Shortcut WT:JCWWT:JCW This talk page is to discuss the Journals Cited by Wikipedia compilation in general. If you spot a false positive in WP:JCW/TAR or WP:JCW/PUB, you can report it here or edit WP:JCW/EXCLUDE yourself. If you want to discuss pages related to The Wikipedia CiteWatch, use WT:CITEWATCH instead. See also User talk:JL-Bot, which will have information on the latest tweaks being developed.

Here's a piece about the history of JCW I wrote for the Signpost. Headbomb 06:14, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's a very interesting read.GobsPint (talk) 02:48, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Headbomb: I hope you are well 🙂 If you have a minute, could you fix the target on Wikipedia:WikiProject Academic Journals/Journals cited by Wikipedia/S58 from "The State Journal," which is now a disambiguation link, to The State Journal (West Virginia), which is what the article cited is referring to? I don't know how to fix this myself. Cheers! Johnson524 16:09, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is a bot-compiled list of whatever's in |journal=. What's important is that The State Journal dab mentions The State Journal (West Virginia), and that the article points to the correct journal. Both do. Headbomb 19:50, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply] @Headbomb: Just making sure it's not a mistake, cheers! (Oh, and btw, that signpost article you linked above was a really interesting read, thanks for sharing it 🙂) Johnson524 21:57, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The above journals differ from regular articles only by capitalization, e.g. Islamic Studies redirects to Islamic studies, making it look like we have a journal called Islamic Studies in WP:JCW, when in reality we don't. I just created the Women's Studies article, but it would be nice to have help for the others. Headbomb 14:02, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We hit that bar in June. Headbomb 21:10, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There's a cite } (actually a dead link) which is picked up as having a publisher of University College London (UC London) on Wikipedia:WikiProject Academic Journals/Journals cited by Wikipedia/Publisher14. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 17:49, 3 January 2026 (UTC).[reply]

London 24 is a close match of UCLondon (and others). To exclude the match, go to WP:JCW/EXCLUDE and use

{{JCW-exclude|UC London|London 24}}

which excludes that specific match, or

{{JCW-exclude|University College London|London 24}}

which excludes it from anything related to Wikipedia:WikiProject Academic Journals/Journals cited by Wikipedia/Publisher14#University College London. Headbomb 18:41, 3 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
