The reason I write this here is that the site hosts some academic papers. It is mostly an encyclopedia, but not entirely. Should it be categorized as an encyclopedia.

How do I add another domain to reliable sources?

This is the UK domain for Glamour, which is a reliable source. glamourmagazine.co.uk Pietrus1 (talk) 18:44, 23 May 2026 (UTC)

You need to decide which reliability list this source is on, then add on those lists (and often, the corresponding original list also needs to be updated).
For example, this Glamour (magazine) is on w:Wikipedia:New pages patrol source guide, therefore I just added the UK domain to Cite Unseen/sources/enNPPSG/2 alongside the existing US domain: Special:Diff/30585795 and w:Special:Diff/1355986783. SuperGrey (talk) 02:38, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

umass.edu/magazine/

As discussed previously, there is no category for public universities currently. However, this is a news magazine published by a public university? Can this be categorized as news?

Pietrus1 (talk) 17:32, 23 May 2026 (UTC)

@11WB: perhaps this is one more proof of a "student newspaper" concept? SuperGrey (talk) 02:28, 25 May 2026 (UTC)
I think a lot of it is student-published, but it hosts various content from what I can tell. Pietrus1 (talk) 03:35, 25 May 2026 (UTC)
A news magazine published by a public university can probably be considered a student publication, yes. 11WB (talk) 19:24, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
Then @11WB you can add it to Cite Unseen/sources/studentPublications. I plan to include "studentPublications" in the next Cite Unseen version. Best, SuperGrey (talk) 01:49, 30 May 2026 (UTC)
Will do this at some point tomorrow. (Currently on a break from Wikipedia). 11WB (talk) 20:04, 30 May 2026 (UTC)
Done. Thanks @Pietrus1. 11WB (talk) 20:43, 30 May 2026 (UTC)

Source being categorized incorrectly

This source is categorized visually as being "no consensus" denofgeek.com but it is listed in multiple source listings, the enwiki NPP guide, the videogames project, and the reliable sources guide as being "generally reliable". It should probably be given the correct visual flag. What comes up now is an incorrect reference to the source via the NPP guide. Pietrus1 (talk) 18:36, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

I noticed the same happens with thenational.scot -- also listed as Generally Reliable instead of "No Consensus", which is the rating shown, so there might be a wider issue. Pietrus1 (talk) 18:56, 31 May 2026 (UTC)
Done: removed both in Cite Unseen/sources/enNPPSG/2. If one source appears on NPPSG as no concensus while Generally reliable/unreliable on other lists (make use of the search bar on Cite Unseen/sources), that means NPPSG needs an update (maybe the en:WP:NPPSG as well). You can fix the issue along this intuition. Thank you! SuperGrey (talk) 19:00, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

url_str field not detecting .co.uk domains

Hello,

I found a forum url appended to a .co.uk url. it was not marked as a forum despite /forum/ domains being marked as a forum in the relevant source page. I am assuming this is a code issue: /www.discworldstamps.co.uk/forum

Pietrus1 (talk) 18:14, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

This would count as a scholarly source by Cornell University as well. Aplucas0703 (talk) 16:53, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

@SuperHamster: Should we have a "scholar" category? I feel like we have encountered a few other scholarly sources already, and this is one that is especially hard to put under the Cite Unseen/sources/books umbrella. SuperGrey (talk) 06:33, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
What else would fall into that category? Academic journals? Jenny8lee (talk) 08:54, 10 June 2026 (UTC)
Now that I think about it, I would prefer the existing "books" to be about "publications" including books and academic journals, while a new "academic" category to encompass university websites, academic databases (which are not book libraries), and student publications (sub-category). And we have this icon for the "academic" category: File:OOjs UI icon academic.svg. SuperGrey (talk) 21:18, 10 June 2026 (UTC)
When I was working on suggesting a category, I was thinking that I would suggest it as "academic" but only realized when I went to fill out the form that there really was no good category to describe it. "News" or maybe "government" was the best that I could come up with. Aplucas0703 (talk) 00:09, 11 June 2026 (UTC)

Removal of the "Encyclopedia" category.

Why was this category removed from the list we can edit? Was it simply moved? Where should encyclopedia be categorized now?

Pietrus1 (talk) 17:33, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

@Pietrus1: Sorry, could you clarify? Cite Unseen has never had an icon/category for encyclopedias. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 06:40, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
Huh. I swear there was just the other week. Perhaps it was being piped in by another extension. Should encyclopedias simply be categorized as books then? Pietrus1 (talk) 15:16, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
Yes. As long as you use {{Cite book}} or {{Cite encyclopedia}}, you will get a "books" icon. SuperGrey (talk) 07:21, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

Categorizing company publications

Should these be classified as blogs. They come in various shapes from one company to the next. Pietrus1 (talk) 01:30, 4 July 2026 (UTC)

No. Company publications currently should be cited with {{Cite press release}}, which give then the icon of press release. SuperGrey (talk) 14:23, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

If individual links are deemed as "press release", we could use {{Cite press release}}, which will already give a PR icon. SuperGrey (talk) 14:42, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

Categorizing mirrors

Hello,

kikakurui.com appears to be a mirror of parts of the Japanese Standards Association's website. JSA is a semi-governmental group (I categorized as government previously) that maintains various technical and industrial standards in Japan. It seems to exist simply because the JSA has long required registration.

Pietrus1 (talk) 15:55, 19 July 2026 (UTC)

If those mirror sites host essentially the same content, just place them under their original sites, with indent **. (Remember to add notes stating they are mirror sites.) SuperGrey (talk) 17:49, 19 July 2026 (UTC)

news.err.ee

Note. Eesti Rahvusringhääling (ERR; literally Estonian National/Public Broadcasting in English) is Estonia's public service broadcaster. It is an independent, non-profit organisation. It was established under the Estonian Public Broadcasting Act to provide balanced information, so it is considered a reliable source of news for region as it has some editorial independence from advertising pressures.

Mustleib (talk) 21:04, 14 July 2026 (UTC)

Apologies I realised I should have clarified that I am proposing that err.ee be classified as a generally reliable news source because of its independence. ERR employs editorial staff that are cited under each article (see [2]). Its reporting is also frequently cited by other international news organisations (such as the BBC; see [3]) Mustleib (talk) 21:24, 14 July 2026 (UTC)
Sorry yet again. I was reading through the minlify.app docs but hadn't seen the note at the top of this page that reliable categories are only given through WikiProject lists, so feel free to disregard the suggestion as the classification of news has already been given. Mustleib (talk) 21:29, 14 July 2026 (UTC)
Done: already added to the news list. Thank you! SuperGrey (talk) 14:22, 19 July 2026 (UTC)
