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.

Draft:Adaptive noise cancelling

Need your thoughts on whether this should be a separate topic from Noise cancellation or Adaptive filtering. It appears to be someone's research material. Please help discuss at Draft:Adaptive noise cancelling#Notability for this. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 18:51, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

Active noise control almost always involves adaptation. No need for a separate article. Constant314 (talk) 19:37, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

This is the same as Active noise control. The author should be directed to improve the existing article. I've read the explanation provided by the author attempting to present a distinction between the two, however I'm unconvinced. It appears that different groups of researchers use each phrase to refer to the same concept. SailingInABathTub ~~🛁~~ 21:27, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

Good article reassessment for Electricity

Electricity has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the reassessment page. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article. Onegreatjoke (talk) 00:17, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

This is still ongoing. Would anyone like to poke at it and maybe bring it to a successful conclusion? A few {{citation needed}} tags need resolving. XOR'easter (talk) 00:26, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

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.

There is a new discussion at Talk:Heaviside condition#Is the Heaviside condition the Zeno's paradox of transmission lines? in which you may wish to participate. Constant314 (talk) 15:54, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

Triboelectric effect

I have rewritten the Triboelectric effect page so it is fairly balanced, trying to:

• Represent the (many) conflicting views
• Avoid most of the unscience out there on this topic
• Do a decent job of referencing, including good older papers/books not just new ones

I know a fair amount about the topic, but feedback is always useful. (I think it may need a few more Figures.) I think the topic is mainly physics, so I have posted on the WT:PHY, but there may be members of this group who have come across it at work and would have useful input. Add comments here, or on my talk page. Ldm1954 (talk) 12:08, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

FYI: Articles for deletion/Conduction zone - unique superconductivity theory

FYI, please see:

• Articles for deletion/Conduction zone

From the article: "The term conduction zone was introduced in the 'Unified Theory of Low and High-Temperature Superconductivity.'"

Feel free to provide your inputs as to what we should do with this article.
