JCW-row searching
[edit]I'm looking at {{JCW-row}}; and assume this is the best place for discussion.
The search links are created by this markup:
<small class="nowrap">[//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search={{{search}}}&fulltext=Search Wikipedia] <sub>([//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search={{{search}}}+journal&fulltext=Search J]·[//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search={{{search}}}+magazine&fulltext=Search M]·[//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=The+{{{search}}}&fulltext=Search T])</sub></small><br>
<small class="nowrap">[http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=%22{{{search}}}%22+-wikipedia Google] <sub>([http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=%22{{{search}}}%22+journal+-wikipedia J]·[http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=%22{{{search}}}%22+magazine+-wikipedia M]·[http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=%22The+{{{search}}}%22+-wikipedia T])
The Google searches put the search string in quotes (%22
), but the Wikipedia searches do not. I propose that we should always do so; to avoid issues like this, where the search string is The Municipal Journal
and the results are less than helpful. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:00, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Pigsonthewing: done. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 19:02, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

Misspellings
[edit]Here are a few more misspellings that I've fixed in significant numbers recently and may recur:
- American Association of Cancer Research → American Association for Cancer Research
- American Journal of Kidney Disease → American Journal of Kidney Diseases
- The American Journal of Medical Sciences → The American Journal of the Medical Sciences
- Archeological Institute of America → Archaeological Institute of America
- Journal of American Medical Association → Journal of the American Medical Association (aka JAMA)
- PsychINFO → PsycINFO
Some less academic sources were widely cited with typos. Would a sister WikiProject be interested? Similarly, they're fixed as of a recent date but may be of future interest:
- Architect's Journal → Architects' Journal
- Bilboard → Billboard (magazine)
- Book of Revelations → Book of Revelation
- Encyclopedia Britannica → Encyclopædia Britannica (also available as Brittannica, Britanica, etc., with e or æ)
- imbd (various capitalisations) → IMDb (but beware of International Migratory Bird Day)
- The Mechanic's Magazine → The Mechanics' Magazine
- National Registry of Historic Places → National Register of Historic Places
- The New India Express → The New Indian Express (also without "The")
- The Philadelphia Enquirer → The Philadelphia Inquirer (also without "The")
- Wallstreet Journal → The Wall Street Journal
- Yahoo News! → Yahoo! News
...and a few relevant publishers
- Bibliothèque National de France → Bibliothèque nationale de France
- Harper Collins → HarperCollins
- Simon & Shuster ⇒ Simon & Schuster (also with "and")
- Weidenfeld & Nicholson → Weidenfeld & Nicolson

- @Certes: as far as the compilation goes, you only need to make sure the redirect is tagged with {{R from typo}} or {{R from incorrect name}} or similar. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 15:41, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
- Same for {{R from miscaps}} and {{R to diacritics}} which get their own pages. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 15:49, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
Cite Q
[edit]Question: When a citation is embedded in the Cite Q template, does it still get counted in the "Journals cited by Wikipedia" totals displayed on these pages? Thanks in advance, Esculenta (talk) 13:31, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
Google links
[edit]seem to be missing particle "search?" in the URL, e.g.:
- wrong: https://www.google.com/webhp#hl=en&q=%22The%20NamesforLife%20Abstracts%22+-wikipedia
- right: https://www.google.com/search?&q=%22The%20NamesforLife%20Abstracts%22+-wikipedia

- I'll investigate. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 06:14, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Fgnievinski: should be fixed now. Good catch. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 06:21, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
Here's a piece about the history of JCW I wrote for the Signpost. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 06:14, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- That's a very interesting read.GobsPint (talk) 02:48, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
The State Journal disambiguation
[edit]Hello @Headbomb: I hope you are well 🙂 If you have a minute, could you fix the target on Wikipedia:WikiProject Academic Journals/Journals cited by Wikipedia/S58 from "The State Journal," which is now a disambiguation link, to The State Journal (West Virginia), which is what the article cited is referring to? I don't know how to fix this myself. Cheers! Johnson524 16:09, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- This is a bot-compiled list of whatever's in
|journal=
. What's important is that The State Journal dab mentions The State Journal (West Virginia), and that the article points to the correct journal. Both do. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 19:50, 3 January 2024 (UTC)- @Headbomb: Just making sure it's not a mistake, cheers! (Oh, and btw, that signpost article you linked above was a really interesting read, thanks for sharing it 🙂) Johnson524 21:57, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
