User script to detect unreliable sources

[edit]

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like

  • John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.)

and turns it into something like

It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}} and {{doi}}.

The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Counties, old and new etc

[edit]

I was looking for guidance around the description of UK hills and mountains in respect of the modern and former administrative areas in which they lie. Can anyone point me in the direction of any or have such guidelines not yet been assembled? thanks Geopersona (talk) 18:27, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Problems with List of Wainwrights

[edit]

This large list compiled from an external database by a now-inactive editor needs attention. See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject_Lancashire and Cumbria#Problems with List of Wainwrights if you are interested. Thanks in advance for any help! PamD 21:35, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

[edit]

I have created a proposal to reverse an undiscussed split at Talk:List of Nuttall mountains in England and Wales#Merge proposal. I believe that may be of interest to members of this wikiproject. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 22:04, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This list is in a bit of a mess. See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ireland#List of mountains and hills of County Dublin. Does anyone here want a nice little project working on upgrading this list of Irish hills? PamD 13:01, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have made a good beginning by researching and citing a reliable source to cover the deficiencies. It should be easy to find more; it's just a question of finding time, which I will do. Spideog (talk) 05:15, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
