Background sections[edit]

Seriously, the background section of "Boy (I Need You)" consists of 700 irrelevant words. It goes into more detail than the Charmbracelet article! It says that she won an award in 2000, stripped and threatened to commit suicide in 2001, and there are critical reviews for a movie and it says that her father died of cancer... how is any of this relevant to this song?! "Through the Rain", and pretty much every Mariah Carey GA, have the same problem. This has to stop. Pancake (talk) 12:50, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:RSN[edit]

Team members I have raised a concern at WP:RSN about the two book sources used continuously for the articles, in here. Hope we can assess the copyvio and plagiarism concerns that I have raised. —IB [ Poke ] 14:56, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone subscribe to Billboard? I need to know some boxscore data for a tour.[edit]

Please ping me here or post on my user talk. Thanks.  — Calvin999 14:44, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article had a resurgence of traffic and IP edits as part of the #JusticeforGlitter campaign. This has led to inclusion of a lot of bare urls, questionable sources, questionable content, etc. I think members of the project should work on cleanup so that the article can retain its GA status (Ping: Petergriffin9901, Moxy, 11JORN).--NØ 14:37, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Source question[edit]

I posted a question at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#Argenson, Jim (2008), Mariah Carey Concert Tours about a source used in various Carey-related articles. Renata3 16:04, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User script to detect unreliable sources[edit]

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.

Project-independent quality assessments[edit]

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.

Mariah Carey listed for FAR[edit]

I have nominated Mariah Carey for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. ScarletViolet (talkcontribs) 00:53, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
