== Add [[Library Genesis]]? ==

I increasingly find [[Library Genesis]] to be a very helpful search engine for academic papers, more so than Google Books. In particular, it excells at finding book reviews. Ex. compare LG (<small>blacklisted link removed -- [[User:Pppery|* Pppery *]] [[User talk:Pppery|<sub style="color:#800000">it has begun...</sub>]] 01:05, 31 July 2020 (UTC)</small>) return hits and [https://scholar.google.co.kr/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=Groundswell.+Winning+in+a+World+Transformed+by+Social+Technologies&btnG= Google Scholar]. I first noticed it few weeks ago while looking for reviews for [[The Expanding Circle: Ethics and Sociobiology|this book]] I wrote an entry on. If anyone is concerned about legality, note that LG has been mentioned at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request]] (with a caution note) for quite a while now, with no objections/controversy. We could add a link to such note to the template through a tiny hperlink to address any related concerns. --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">[[User:Piotrus|Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus]]|[[User talk:Piotrus|<span style="color:#7CFC00;background:#006400;"> reply here</span>]]</sub> 04:30, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

== Inclusion of ''NYT'' ==

I don't particularly have an issue with it, but I do want to just bring up for discussion the fact that the ''[[NYT]]'' is the only newspaper included with this template. While it is probably true that the ''NYT'' has the best claim to being the newspaper of record for the English speaking world, I'm saying that as an American, and I can imagine those in other English speaking countries objecting that the ''NYT'' is not the best source for them, and that perhaps another paper should be included, or that no specific paper should be included, so that Google News (a more dynamic way to find a quality source, but also not as curated) can be used instead. I guess my point is mainly that this template in some way implies that we're endorsing the ''NYT'' over every other newspaper, and while in a practical sense that's probably the reasonable thing to do for the situations this template is used for, we should at least have some discussion to establish a consensus. (Also, as a minor cosmetic note, ''NYT'' ought to be italicized, and I'd appreciate someone with template editing privileges making that fix.) - [[User:Sdkb|Sdkb]] ([[User talk:Sdkb|talk]]) 05:27, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

I noticed the template's Google news search excludes [https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/sungwon-cho-used-to-make-goofy-voices-for-fun-now-hes-got-millions-of-fans-fandom-files-ep this article], though the word 'wikipedia' does not seem to appear anywhere in it.

:{{ping|Oornery}} My best guess as to why this happens is that when Google crawled that page, it contained the text "Wikipedia", but it doesn't contain it any more. (Maybe it appeared in the "latest articles" feed or something like that.) However, if you notice a pattern of this occurring, it might be a good idea to report it to Google, as it might be a problem with their algorithm. — '''''[[User:Mr. Stradivarius|<span style="color: #194D00; font-family: Palatino, Times, serif">Mr. Stradivarius</span>]]''''' <sup>[[User talk:Mr. Stradivarius|♪ talk ♪]]</sup> 01:29, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

I use [[Internet Archive]] all the time to look for sources, especially on old topics. Would it make sense to include a full-text search of [https://archive.org/ archive.org] on this template? [[User:AleatoryPonderings|AleatoryPonderings]] ([[User talk:AleatoryPonderings|talk]]) 20:57, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
:Hmm, interesting thought. I do get a lot of sources value out of the Internet Archive, but I also see it as sort of a more advanced tool less essential than some of the others listed. <span style="color:#AAA"><small>{{u|</small><span style="border-radius:9em;padding:0 5px;background:#088">[[User:Sdkb|<span style="color:#FFF">'''Sdkb'''</span>]]</span><small>}}</small></span> <sup>[[User talk:Sdkb|'''talk''']]</sup> 01:44, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

Please italicize {{tq|NYT}} per [[MOS:ITALICS]], since it's an abbreviation of the name of a newspaper. <span style="color:#AAA"><small>{{u|</small><span style="border-radius:9em;padding:0 5px;background:#088">[[User:Sdkb|<span style="color:#FFF">'''Sdkb'''</span>]]</span><small>}}</small></span> <sup>[[User talk:Sdkb|'''talk''']]</sup> 01:47, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
