Missing/broken references

I'm trying to make a dent in Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors, and a few articles related to the Baha'i faith have issues that I can't fix. Basically, some refs linked via {{sfn}} and {{harvnb}} and similar have missing full citations or have some other problems. You can check these instructions to have error messages enabled (Svick's script is the simplest to use, but Trappist's script is a bit more refined if you're interested in doing deeper cleanup).

1. Baháʼí Faith and Native Americans
2. Baháʼí Faith and the unity of humanity
3. Baháʼí Faith by continent
4. Baháʼí Faith in Colombia
5. Baháʼí Faith in Europe
6. Baháʼí Faith in Germany
7. Baháʼí Faith in the Netherlands
8. Baháʼí Faith in Vietnam
9. Baháʼí gardens
10. Baháʼí statistics
11. Baháʼí symbols
12. Baháʼí teachings
13. Baháʼu'lláh
14. Baháʼu'lláh's family
15. Bahíyyih Khánum

The cause is often copy-pasting a short reference from another article without copy-pasting the full reference. If you can find where things were copy-pasted from, you can usually find what the full reference is.

Thanks for any help you can give! Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 13:32, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. Occasional cross editing where people delete something else also happens. What a mess. But thanks for helping and pointing things out. Smkolins (talk) 13:37, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

There's very likely more, but those were pretty easy to spot as being of interest to this project. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 13:39, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

Also reminds me that many Baha'i News references are smei-broken - they've been posted more than once in lots of places but a few later dropped them while later ones consciously went about cleaning up scans. I went around for a while at least deleting the dead urls for a while and in a few cases fix urls when new ones came along. But there is much yet to be done. But I don't know a simple way to gather the list of such in one place. Smkolins (talk) 14:00, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

RfC on ecclesiastical titles

There is a proposal for a new subsection on ecclesiastical titles being conducted at MOS:BIO. Interested editors are encouraged to participate. It is a bit Christian-centric as currently written, so the opinions of those with knowledge of other religions is especially welcome. --Slugger O'Toole (talk) 02:19, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

Baháʼí Faith veiw on Joseph Smith

Joseph Smith is considered by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to be a prophet. Bahá’ís do not regard him as such. He is not considered by Bahá’ís to be a prophet, minor or otherwise. He is considered to be a "religious teacher sensitive to the spiritual currents flowing in the early 19th century directly from the appearance of the Báb and Bahá’u’lláh and the Revelation of their Messages of hope and Divine Guidance." (Lights of Guidance, p. 511)

Joseph Smith could be mentioned on the Manifestation of God page or given a similar page title "Baháʼí Faith veiw on Joseph Smith." Doremon764 (talk) 06:07, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Requested move at Talk:Luṭfu'lláh Hakím#Requested move 26 March 2021

There is a requested move discussion at Talk:Luṭfu'lláh Hakím#Requested move 26 March 2021 that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 08:34, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Help with picture

Hello and greetings from the Basque country. I am translating the article of the Bab into euskara and I see that the link to the picture of the room in Shiraz does not appear in the translated article. Could you help me? Thanks in advance. Maddi

The only images that can work across languages go on Wikimedia Commons, but the licensing requirements are more difficult. Copyrighted material, like this image, goes on the English Misplaced Pages and won't cross over to euskara. You may be able to upload the image to the other wiki and use it there. Here is the copyrighted source of that image, along with many others, and here is the copyright notice you'll need to upload. Cuñado ☼ - Talk 19:37, 23 April 2021 (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 Misplaced Pages. The idea is that it takes something like

• John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "" ''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.

Featured article review: Baháʼí Faith

I have nominated Baháʼí Faith for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status.
