Please add a link to the [[Open Library]], a book-oriented project of the [[Internet Archive]]. I've drafted the subpage [[Module:Find_sources/links/openlibrary]] for review and testing. I would have sandbox tested it, but can't seem to find my way to the right sandbox.

:This should be discussed at least a little before editing this widely used module. Taking the simple <code><nowiki>{{Find sources}}</nowiki></code> example from the {{tl|Find sources}} documentation, what would the new output look like? Has there been any discussion about adding this? [[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]] ([[User talk:Johnuniq|talk]]) 22:58, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

== Change "-wikipedia" to "-site:wikipedia.org" ==

The former is too broad; mentioning Wikipedia in of itself shouldn't be enough to disqualify a source. If some sources *cite* Wikipedia then the person looking for the sources should just filter those out themselves, rather than potentially being unaware of any source which happens to mention a widely-used website. Also, the "newspapers" link should just add "&tbm=nws" as a query parameter instead of adding "site:news.google.com/newspapers" to the query string.
