Disruptive edits to Tunisian Arabic
Hello, I am attempting to restore content to Tunisian Arabic after a user has repeatedly added unencyclopedic and unsourced content to the lead. I am hoping to not engage in a 3RR-violation. The article is not edited often, and I am hoping to draw attention to the recent edits. Thank you. --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 03:23, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
User script to detect unreliable sources
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.

Naglaa Mahfouz needs reference help
Naglaa Mahfouz, the Egyptian journalist/writer/artist is up for deletion - it looks like one of those cases where someone inherently quite notable doesn't have much coverage in English-language sources, could someone who knows Arabic help out? The creator of that article, Ranaka3 has contributed several other articles on Arab writers but is still inexperienced and could probably do with a bit of mentoring if someone was up for that?

Does the term Al-Aqsa Mosque need disambiguation?
Please comment at Talk:Al-Aqsa Mosque#Requested move 30 May 2022 - we are in need of editors who have the time to review the sources. Our Al-Aqsa Mosque article is about the small building. The large compound, also known as Al-Aqsa Mosque, is our article Temple Mount.
For reference:
- Al Aqsa Mosque (Temple Mount) is the third holiest site in Islam
- Al Aqsa Mosque (Temple Mount) was the first qibla in Islam
- Al Aqsa Mosque (Temple Mount) gave its name to the Al Aqsa Intifada, and the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades
- Al Aqsa Mosque (Temple Mount) can hold over 300,000 people (note: the small building can hold only 5,000)
- Al Aqsa Mosque (Temple Mount) was recently in the news after clashes between Israeli soldiers and Palestinians: the location of the route is shown here
- Al Aqsa Mosque (building) is an important monument of early Islamic architecture
- Al Aqsa Mosque (building) houses the Imam of the Al Aqsa Mosque
- Al Aqsa Mosque (building) is where the Islamic prayers are led from
Per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, what matters most is whether it is highly likely — much more likely than any other single topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined — to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term
. It is also important to assess how the term is used amongst scholarly sources - an assessment of this has been provided at the discussion, and it would be good to have it confirmed by editors who have the time to review the sources themselves.
Thank you.
