Is this WikiProject still active?

Hello! Is this WikiProject still active? I was thinking of slapping a big Template:WikiProject_status inactive tag due to a lack of discussion on the talk page or changes on the project page, but it's possible you guys might just be hanging out in WikiProject Australia or in WikiProject South Australia. So, any thoughts about tagging this WikiProject as "semi-active" or "inactive"? Pilaz (talk) 07:43, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

I've just checked the editors listed as "active", and they are all still active, though some are more so than others. (I generally move them to the "inactive" list if they haven't made an edit in the preceding 12 months.) Another use for this project page is that it enables us to organise Meetups, such as when we have Wikimedia Australia members visiting from interstate, although there haven't been any since the start of the COVID pandemic. (In case you're not aware, Australia has had some of the most stringent preventative measures in the world, including interstate border closures and lockdowns.) Once things settle down a bit more, IMHO it would be good to have a meetup sometime in the near future. Cheers, Bahudhara (talk) 08:01, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

That makes a ton of sense. Best wishes for your upcoming meetings! Pilaz (talk) 03:49, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

User script to detect unreliable sources

Main page: User:Headbomb/unreliable

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.

The Advertiser ?

Could someone with access sort out the bare URL ref https://www.adelaidenow.com.au/subscribe/news/1/?sourceCode=AAWEB_WRE170_a_GGL&dest=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.adelaidenow.com.au%2Fdelicious-sa%2Fgreat-taste-zero-waste-at-the-ports-newest-cafe%2Fnews-story%2F56d8179ad393f2abe14e21e7ce13ab98&memtype=anonymous&mode=premium which appears in Port Adelaide? It was added by an IP. Or perhaps the whole sentence should just be removed? PamD 13:18, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
