Draft:History of Peru under Alberto Fujimori

Will someone please review this draft for neutrality and tone? Robert McClenon (talk) 23:22, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

Commons categories Lambayeque culture and Sicán identical?

While trying to sort some files on Commons into appropriate categories, I stumbled across the category pair Lambayeque culture and Sicán. Do they both describe the same pre-columbian culture / the same concept? According to the Wikipedia Article on Sicán, both names are used synonymously. If yes, I think it would be useful to merge them (keeping one of both as redirect). Guessing by the references on Sican culture (Q175801), "Sicán" seems to be preferable. Is this correct? Thanks for any hints and feedback! Fl.schmitt (talk) 09:45, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

@Fl.schmitt: "Lambayeque culture" and "Sicán culture" are interchangeable, per page 7 of Lambayeque: nuevos horizontes de la arqueología peruana:

El estudio de la cultura que se desarrolló en el departamento de Lambayeque entre el ocaso de Moche y la conquista Chimú no escapa a los problemas epistemológicos arriba mencionados, por lo que el lector interesado encontrará no solo modelos interpretativos distintos, sino también un léxico diferente. El arqueólogo estadounidense de origen japonés Izumi Shimada, seguido por varios otros estudiosos, ha introducido el nombre "cultura Sicán", mientras que otro grupo de investigadores no menos nutrido permanece fiel al término "cultura Lambayeque". Ambos grupos se refieren por supuesto al mismo cuerpo de evidencias y al mismo fenómeno cultural del pasado prehispánico.

As alluded to above, Izumi Shimada led the Sicán Archaeological Project and introduced the term "Sicán culture". However, the first sentence in the Preface of his book Cultura Sicán says la cultura Sicán, también más conocida como Cultura Lambayeque ("the Sicán culture, also better known as Lambayeque Culture"). Shimada also referred to the site of es:Batán Grande as "Sicán". Avoiding confusion between the Batán Grande site and the culture it belonged to may be why nowadays "Lambayeque culture" seems to be slightly preferred. For example, the Museo Larco uses Lambayeque, and the Met usually uses "Lambayeque (Sicán)" and occasionally just "Lambayeque".

My suggestion would be to make Sicán a disambiguation page linking to Lambayeque culture and Batán Grande. Cobblet (talk) 13:55, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

@Cobblet: Thanks a lot, this is very helpful for me - I will adapt the commons categories as proposed. Fl.schmitt (talk) 18:50, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

You're welcome! I'll further note that Sicán should not be confused with the nearby Moche site of Sipán, also known as Huaca Rajada, which is where the remains of the Lord of Sipán were discovered. Cobblet (talk) 19:32, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

Inca Chucu culture??

Pre-Columbian Inca Chucu Painted Stone Plaque, 1000 -1500 CE

I uploaded this one today. Inca Chucu culture is described as from "southern Peru, Inca hinterlands (Chucu)." If any reader knows anything about the Inca Chucus, please comment or PM me. See talk page for that image for info on more of these. Quite a few floating around in the usual places, some on terra cotta. Thanks in advance, Pete Tillman (talk) 17:29, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Eyes and cleanup needed

Hey folks. I came across some bizarre IP vandalism the other day on some Peru-related articles, and I wanted to alert you to it as it seems to be broader than just some random messing about.

If you look at this IP's edits you can see the type of edits being made - the particular phrase "Alex alexander huerta avendaño" appears in most cases. It popped up on several articles that I caught doing recent changes patrolling, mostly in Peru-related articles. The problem lies in the fact that this appears to have been going on for, literally, years and has not been caught on smaller articles.

I did a Google search for that phrase, and found it all over the web, including lots of Wiki mirror pages that include it. I fixed this as one example, which had been there since last year. There are a fair number of law enforcement-related pages that seem to have been affected as well as regional articles, and it's possible these edits have slipped past. The editor appears to be on IPs starting with 181.176 for the most part.

I'm also going to leave a note on the Admin Noticeboard to see if anyone has any ideas beyond keeping an eye open for these kinds of edits, but wanted to provide a heads-up for those most familiar with the topic. Cheers! Tony Fox (arf!) 16:10, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

User script to detect unreliable sources

Main page: User:Headbomb/unreliable

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like

• John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.)

and turns it into something like

• John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.

It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}} and {{doi}}.

The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.
