Request for comment on Sci-Hub[edit]
There is a request for comment on the Sci-Hub article:
Which of the following should be the opening paragraph of the Sci-Hub article?
Option 1 (from revision 864273518):
Sci-Hub is a website with over 70 million academic papers and articles available for direct download.[1] It bypasses publisher paywalls by allowing access through educational institution proxies. Sci-Hub stores papers in its own cache to speed up future requests.
Option 2 (from revision 864287916):
Sci-Hub is the world's largest source of pirated academic papers and articles.[2] It bypasses publisher paywalls by illegally using educational institution proxies,[3] after which it stores papers in its own cache to speed up future requests.
Option 3 (current version):
Sci-Hub is a website which claims to have over 70 million academic papers and articles available for direct download.[1][better source needed] It is stated to be the world's largest source of pirated academic papers and articles.[2] It bypasses publisher paywalls by using educational institution proxies with credentials to which the site is not entitled,[4] after which it stores papers in its own cache to speed up future requests.
As "sci-hub.tw" is on the Wikipedia spam blacklist, I've removed the URL from the citation in Option 1. You can see the original citation in revision 864273518.

Featured quality source review RFC[edit]
Editors in this WikiProject may be interested in the featured quality source review RFC that has been ongoing. It would change the featured article candidate process (FAC) so that source reviews would need to occur prior to any other reviews for FAC. Your comments are appreciated. --IznoRepeat (talk) 21:39, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
