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

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.

Drafts for senate candidates

I'm working on drafts for Draft:Will Boyd and Draft:Katrina Christiansen. They appear to have enough references to pass WP:NBASIC, but I could use some help researching them and fleshing out the draft articles. Andrevan@ 00:19, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Several hundred section titles need to change

Please see Talk:117th_United_States_Congress#Titles need to be changed across several articles, as many articles use identical section titles repeatedly. :/ ―Justin (koavf)TCM 10:35, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
