User script to detect unreliable sources

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.

Providence

Providence,Rhode Island is an article that needs a bunch of fixing. The lead has a Citation needed, there’s others spread across the article and there are some parts that need updating.We might need to either 1: Fix or 2: Review the article. Danubeball (talk) 21:20, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Kierieian, Rhode Island

There's a discussion about Kierieian, Rhode Island here: Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Miscellaneous#Does_Kierieian,_Rhode_Island_exist? 76.14.122.5 (talk) 03:40, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

 You are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Content assessment#Proposal: Reclassification of Current & Future-Classes as time parameter, which is within the scope of this WikiProject. This WikiProject received this message because it currently uses "Current" and/or "Future" class(es). There is a proposal to split these two article "classes" into a new parameter "time", in order to standardise article-rating across Wikipedia (per RfC), while also allowing simultaneous usage of quality criteria and time for interest projects.

Cable Car

Just found out the Cable Car Cinema closed back in 2018, and was surprised we didn't have an article. So: Cable Car Cinema. Kzirkel has already uploaded some useful exterior shots. Anyone have any photos of the interior (couches!)? Rhododendrites talk \\ 19:31, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
