There is a requested move discussion at Talk:Privacy concerns of Facebook#Requested move 27 March 2021 that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. ~ Aseleste ( t, e | c, l) 04:00, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
I recently created an article for Anomaly Six, a secretive American company which develops tools that can be used in mass surveillance. Any help would be appreciated. Thriley ( talk) 17:33, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
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 "[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.

I have a fairly solid background from the technology side; I think it's important that more people are made more aware of who's watching them as they mildly surf the internet for dog toys. It's a loaded phrase, but I can think of none other than "corporate surveillance" unhindered by any laws in the US. 4000-word user consent agreements are a joke--"click here to agree" haha. So, I think this is a sub-topic of Mass surveillance/corporate. I didn't find it, but if it is here I'm happy to move myself over there :)
I'm not anti-corporate, really, but I am strongly anti-theft of personal information. Even if it's innocuous data --no one should be able to just take it. Full stop. I think this topic needs a lot of sunlight shined upon it, tbh, and I have a bit stored up. What think all of you? ArtemisXLVII ( talk) 17:30, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
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.
