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 and turns it into something like
 * John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.
 * John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.

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.

Draft article for Ion District
Hello! I'm Katrina, here on behalf of the Ion. I'd like to suggest some improvements to the Wikipedia article about the innovation district. I'll be submitting requests at Talk:Ion Innovation District instead of editing the article myself, in order to comply with the site's conflict of interest rules.

There are many problems with the current Wikipedia article. For example, the text relies heavily on press releases, company websites, government documents, and Rice's student newspaper over secondary journalistic sources. Additionally, the article seems heavily skewed, focusing on the community benefits agreement and funding more than the campus and facilities. There is also some incorrect text and some outdated information. For these reasons, I've worked to draft a much improved Wikipedia article, which I've saved here for editors to review: User:KB Ion/Ion District.

I will be submitting a series of edit requests, starting with one to replace the current "Campus" section with the proposed "Description" section. Are any WikiProject Houston participants willing to review what I've proposed and copy over the content appropriately? Thanks! KB Ion (talk) 15:15, 9 June 2022 (UTC)


 * I've suggested some article improvements for the Ion District article at Talk:Ion District, but getting editor feedback and assistance has been very difficult even using Template:Request edit. You are both listed as active participants of WikiProject Houston. Might you be able to review the edit requests alongside my proposed draft in order to address problems with the current article? Thanks for your consideration. KB Ion (talk) 21:21, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Houston → WP:WikiProject Texas/Houston – Merge this inactive task force into its state's project as a taskforce; matching the location of WP:WikiProject Texas/San Antonio. Much like how WP:WikiProject Los Angeles is a task force of WP:WikiProject California. Task force conversion, like how other inactive wikiprojects have been converted into taskforces of wikiprojects of a superset topic. This wikiproject has been inactive-status for 3 years -- this would implement the supported proposal from 2020. -- 65.92.247.90 (talk) 22:27, 8 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Comment: If this is moved to be a task force then the proper name (based on most task forces) is WikiProject Texas/Houston task force. This can be seen by the same example given by the op which leads to WikiProject California/Los Angeles area task force. Gonnym (talk) 19:07, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
 * Move to WP:WikiProject Texas/Houston task force per Gonnym. Anyway, the gist here is that we have too many moribund "micro-wikiprojects" and they need to merge to continue serving any purpose at all.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  21:13, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
