| {{Main|User:Headbomb/unreliable}} | |||
| I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to ] and ]s. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the ]. The idea is that it takes something like | |||
| *John Smith "" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14. (<code><nowiki>John Smith "" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.</nowiki></code>) | |||
| and turns it into something like | |||
| * John Smith "{{highlight||pink}}" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14. | |||
| It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{tl|cite web}}, {{tl|cite journal}} and {{tl|doi}}. | |||
| The script is mostly based on ], ] and ] 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. | |||

| == DST and time zone names == | |||
| Quality assessments by Misplaced Pages editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at ], but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent ] was approved and has been implemented to add a {{para|class}} parameter to {{tl|WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment. | |||
| I see articles such as ] claiming that there is the concept of a shared 'central' time zone across multiple jurisdictions: | |||
| No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{tl|WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories. | |||
| <blockquote>The North American Central Time Zone (CT) is a time zone in parts of Canada, the United States, Mexico, Central America, and some Caribbean islands.</blockquote> | |||
| 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 {{tl|WPBannerMeta}} a new {{para|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. ] (]) 17:31, 12 April 2023 (UTC) | |||
| This is misleading, easily goes out of date and unsupported in sources. Given that DST transition dates weren't the same in MX (for the areas that abandoned DST), you end up with a situation, between transition dates of the jurisdictions, where cities that Misplaced Pages claims are both on 'Central' time would have differing UTC offsets. Cross-border time zones are a fragile concept that only coincidentally is true as long as legislation doesn't change. And it is synthesized by editors. | |||

I'm getting the taskforce back together, Man!
As the title suggests, I'm rebooting the North American History taskforce. It would kind of help if I wasn't the only one who was in it. I was planning on making it into a portal when we get enough participants. Please help! I'm lonely... Ghinga7 (talk) 19:31, 6 August 2020 (UTC) P.S. I'm leaving similar messages at a couple of wikiprojects and the talk page of the History of North America article. Hope you can join!

Draft for the Climate of North America
Hiya fellow North Americans. I recently worked on some of Misplaced Pages's articles for "Climate of..." various continents. I was surprised there isn't an article for Climate of North America, but rather one for all of the various areas. I think it's a worthy article, and I hope you do too, since it would be a lot to do on my own. I have posted about this on the talk page for the weather WikiProject as well. See Draft:Climate of North America. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:35, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
Ongoing Requested Move Discussion
There is a proposed and ongoing requested move discussion to move 2023–24 US winter to 2023–24 North American winter. You can participate in the discussion here: Talk:2023–24 US winter#Requested move 7 March 2024. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 16:56, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
WP:WikiProject Oral tradition
Would people be interested in joining a wikiproject on improving and creating articles about oral tradition? Misplaced Pages's coverage on this appears to be very poor Kowal2701 (talk) 19:02, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
DST and time zone names
I see articles such as Central Time Zone claiming that there is the concept of a shared 'central' time zone across multiple jurisdictions:
The North American Central Time Zone (CT) is a time zone in parts of Canada, the United States, Mexico, Central America, and some Caribbean islands.
This is misleading, easily goes out of date and unsupported in sources. Given that DST transition dates weren't the same in MX (for the areas that abandoned DST), you end up with a situation, between transition dates of the jurisdictions, where cities that Misplaced Pages claims are both on 'Central' time would have differing UTC offsets. Cross-border time zones are a fragile concept that only coincidentally is true as long as legislation doesn't change. And it is synthesized by editors.
Observe how es:Tiempo de la montaña is *also* referred to as Pacific Time. I would be very surprised to see Mexican legislation actually having synonyms like this.
So what are we gaining here? My proposal is to stop saying that Mexican or Canadian cities use any of the US time zone names like Central/Mountain/Pacific. We can say that, as of legislation in year XXXX, an offset coincides in a given winter/summer. That's a statement that won't go out of date. And there should be a separate article for Mexican Central time, just like there is a separation between Time in Saskatchewan and UTC-5. It's not the same, it just happens to be the same for most places, according to current legislation. --Ysangkok (talk) 15:48, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
