Proposed deletion of José Silva (parapsychologist)

The article José Silva (parapsychologist) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced article with a slanted POV that has clearly not shown signs of improvement in years

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. I am notifying this since the article falls under this WikiProject. Thank you.

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 article for Ion District

Hello! I'm Katrina, here on behalf of the Ion to suggest some improvements to the Wikipedia article about the innovation district. I'm submitting requests at Talk:Ion Innovation District instead of editing the article myself, in order to comply with conflict of interest rules.

There are many problems with the current Wikipedia article. The text relies heavily on press releases, company websites, government documents, and Rice's student newspaper over secondary journalistic sources. The article also seems heavily skewed, focusing on the community benefits agreement and funding more than the campus and facilities. There is also some incorrect text and some outdated information. For these reasons, I've worked to draft a much improved article, which I've saved here for editors to review: User:KB Ion/Ion District.

My first request to replace the "Campus" section with the proposed "Description" section was fulfilled, but I'm struggling to get feedback on my proposed replacement for the History section. Are any WikiProject Texas participants willing to review what I've proposed and copy over the content appropriately? Thanks! KB Ion (talk) 18:33, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
