== User script to detect unreliable sources ==

{{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.

Do note that this is '''not a script to be mindlessly used''', and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at ]. Questions, comments and requests can be made at ].

New land acknowledgement userbox

Hi, I created the userbox below and thought some project members might be interested in using it. Cheers, Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 00:48, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

This user acknowledges that they live on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh people.


Request review of Absolute Software Corporation edits

I work for Absolute Software Corporation, and in the past year I have been trying to gradually improve this article, adhering to Misplaced Pages's own quality standards. I have tried to use a light touch, removing low-quality references, adding new higher-quality references, and removing statements that are poorly referenced, focus on small details that are years out of date, and the like.

I have hoped and expected that uninvolved Misplaced Pages editors would review my work, but there has been little substantive review to date. I of course appreciate the efforts of Misplaced Pages volunteers, and that there are many articles to work on besides this one. But I hope one or more editors can take a look now that I have proposed (on the article's talk page) a replacement for the existing "Products and services" section, which at present has only two footnotes, and which does not accurately express the range of products offered, focusing exclusively on the "Persistence" technology. I proposed a replacement with stronger sourcing on the talk page.

I also hope to propose changes to the "Partnerships" section, which (appropriately) has a quality banner. It is also thinly sourced, and it is not an accurate reflection of the role partnerships have played in Absolute's business model.

I hope someone would be willing to review the proposed "Products" section, and consider my proposed changes to the "Partnerships" section when I post them. -Karenarlenereynolds (talk) 18:38, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi Karenarlenereynolds. The best way to get attention would be to make an Edit Request on the article Talk page using the instructions here: https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Simple_conflict_of_interest_edit_request . I noticed that someone else has suggested posting to the Administrators noticeboard, which is a terrible suggestion. Edit Requests, not noticeboards, are the way forward here. Good luck!
