Your script for unreliable sources

I just ran into an editor using Juniper publishers as a source (to be exact, he used ResearchGate, but that led back to Juniper). Juniper shows up at MediaWiki:Abusefilter-warning-predatory and Template:Predatory open access source list. I've just found Juniper being used at Pangolin but it's not flagged. There's probably an obvious reason but I'm leaving it as it is for you to look at. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 12:27, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

@Doug Weller: the script can't figure out that a ResearchGate links points to a predatory publisher. That's why all ResearchGate links are highlighted in yellow, to warn you that these may be predatory journal articles. See WP:UPSD#General repositories.

Thanks, I assumed that. I don’t mean to be difficult, but I don’t understand why it didn’t catch the Juniper source which you kindly removed. This isn’t a criticism at all, just me trying to understand. Doug Weller talk 19:03, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

@Doug Weller: It doesn't catch it because there is no URL to detect. See WP:UPSD#Limitations, first three bullets. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 19:06, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

Ha, I should have read documentation. A flaw of mine. Doug Weller talk 19:31, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

PMC formatting bot

Hey, Headbomb! I noticed you seem to keep an eye on the CS1 maint: PMC format category, so I just wanted to send you a little note about a bot I have in the works right now. BsoykaBot (talk · contribs) is in its trial phase now and will run on this category once a day, removing the PMC from each page. Just wanted to give you a heads-up in case you're looking for something to take off your to-do list! Bsoyka (talk) 20:34, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

Ann. Soc. entomol. Fr. capitalization

Thank you for changing your mind on this. Just a final note, even when the journal had that style cover page, see 2002, 38 (3), outside of the cover-page typography, the journal still referred to itself as Annales de la Société entomologique de France. See [1] Les Annales de la Société entomologique de France publient des.. / The Annales de la Société entomologique de France publish... or note the header for each article, e.g., Ann. Soc. entomol. Fr. (n.s.) .... So perhaps cover pages shouldn't be uses as evidence in the future since there is often idiosyncratic capitalization for stylistic reasons that only appears on the cover. Umimmak (talk) 22:10, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

We follow what's on the cover page, because that's the official capitalization of the publication. In this case, the capitalization changed over time, so that caused some issue. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 22:12, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

Well, no, because if the cover page were stylized in all caps (see [2]) we wouldn't think that's the official capitalization in any capacity or have that be the title of a Wikipedia article. The way the periodical title was styled on the title page may have changed, but as I just showed you even when the journal had the capital-E cover, in running text the journal still referred to itself with a lowercase-e, so I don't think it's accurate to say the official capitalization changed in any capacity other than that of the wordmark.

ICT removal

Do you know if there's any way to figure out if this were later published, so the information could be restored with a citation to the published version of the paper? (Maybe you already looked and concluded that it never was published.) I don't know where to look. 49.198.51.54 (talk) 23:16, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

If it gets published in a reliable journal, sure, it could be added back. Until then, it's too early for inclusion in Wikipedia. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 23:16, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

I understand. But do you know if there's any way to figure out if this were later published? I lost access to research databases like Ebsco and ProQuest when I finished at uni, so I don't know where to look except for Google. 49.198.51.54 (talk) 23:18, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

Only thing I can think of is follow the authors's personal websites. Check the RG page to see if it's updated to point to a published version. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 23:20, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

You could ask at WP:RX; many editors have access to such research databases through TWL. (tps) Bsoyka (talk) 23:35, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
