Source Credibility Engine

Latest comment: 11 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Are their any administrators who specialize in computer software? Maybe you can help. One way we can make Wikipedia more reliable is by creating an engine that processes reference sources to check their credibility. That way, misleading websites cannot lead to misleading information on Wikipedia.

The Engine should be able to:

Check the given source
Evaluate its credibility
Prevent users from using an invalid source for their citations.

Can anyone help develop this?

While what sort of source is required depends on what text one is hoping to support. Not an easy task. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 19:46, 2 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
