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.

They appear to have enough references to pass WP:NBASIC, but I could use some help researching them and fleshing out the draft articles.

Guerillero Parlez Moi 13:17, 18 October 2022 (UTC) A duty to inform constituents - NY 3rd District Following the 2020 census New York State experienced a protracted and deeply partisan legal battle over redistricting to the point that officials had to push back the state primaries. According to the state Board of Elections, "Following the completion of the 2020 census, New York State has redrawn legislative districts for State Assembly, State Senate, and Congressional offices. New lines will take effect in January 2023. New York State voters will elect representatives for these new districts during the 2022 general election." (New York State Board of Elections, October 22, 2022). Wikipedia's legitimacy as a source may exceed that of political or governmental entities. This is why I believe that a note should be made to the main heading. A well informed constituency ensures a healthy democracy, therefore, Wikipedia needs to provide accurate and up to date information as it will affect the 3rd districts constituents for the next 2-5 years.

I hope to discuss whether list articles should contain separate tables pointing out various distinctions (still alive, oldest ever, shortest term, highest number of votes, etc). Surtsicna (talk) 20:01, 4 December 2022 (UTC) Term start This may be a moot point by the time anyone sees this, but SO MANY editors, both registered and non, are changing incumbency dates for elected Congressional officials BEFORE their term starts. Now granted, January 3rd, today, they'd assume office, but it doesn't officially happen until noon, upon swearing in. (See: Liz Cheney, Joe Sempolinski, Van Taylor, etc.) WP:CRYSTAL would apply if it's changed before noon, correct? Snickers2686 (talk) 16:29, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
