Multiscript detection

A new maintenance page is available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Academic Journals/Journals cited by Wikipedia/Maintenance/Multiscript1. This essential detects the usage of multiple scripts in the |journal= parameter of citations, color coded for ease of browsing (with apologies for the color blind, but that's a thing that could be improved in the future). For example, the entry Abteilung Verhaltensökologie, Institut für Ӧkologie & Evolution, Universität Bern tells you that the Cyrillic character Ӧ is used, instead of the latin Ö in the article Xyleborinus saxesenii. So I went there and fixed it.

There's many cases like this that needs to be handled. Many entries aren't actually problematic, like Բանբեր Հայագիտության = Вестник Арменоведения = Journal of Armenian Studies, but many will be. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. Especially on Asian and Arabic alphabets.

Thanks ahead of things to anyone that helps! Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 21:06, 21 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Translation request – Ali Alaspli

Hello everyone,

I would like to request volunteer support to translate the article Ali Alaspli from English into Arabic. The English version is currently stable, neutrally written, and supported by independent and verifiable references documenting the subject’s work in human rights monitoring and civil society in Libya. It is also linked to the corresponding Wikidata item (Q136680124).

Making this information available in Arabic would help provide reliable and accessible content to readers who follow developments related to human rights in Libya, especially given that a significant part of the interested audience is Arabic-speaking.

For transparency, I would like to disclose a conflict of interest, as I am the subject of the article. I will not edit the article directly, and I leave all editorial decisions entirely to independent volunteers. This request is solely for translation assistance.

Thank you very much to anyone who may be able to help. Aliaspli (talk) 17:26, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion about WikiProject banner templates

For WikiProjects that participate in rating articles, the banners for talk pages usually say something like:

"This article has been rated as Low-importance on the importance scale."

There is a proposal to change the default wording on the banners to say "priority" instead of "importance". This could affect the template for your group. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Proposal to update wording on WikiProject banners.
