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
- 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.

Hey, I recently published this page for an old Utah ska band. I'm new to writing band pages and I think that I got a little too detailed with the concerts. Do you have any advice for me? Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 21:06, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Odd pattern of vandalism
An IP editor at 64.43.50.212 has been making an odd series of vandalism edits. He's thrice found an article for a relatively less well-known band and edited it to say the band is returning with an entirely new and supergroup-esque line-up, often involving the same people: see here, here and here. I've left a uw-vandalism1 warning on the IP address's Talk page. Can others keep an eye on the situation?

Project-independent quality assessments
Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class= parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

Expansion of Glyn Johns article
I have just completed the main part of an expansion of the Glyn Johns article. However, as is always the case, whenever one does an expansion, there will be things to be tidied up. So, I welcome anyone's assistance. I am still looking for more sources about his family life, etc. There may be some typos and errors. I also posted a thread on the talk page there to get any valuable feedback you wish to offer. Garagepunk66 (talk) 07:14, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
