Sounds like a reasonable proposal, although I have to wonder if the time spent building and maintaining this tool would be more or less than the time it would save editors to search for retracted journal articles. > 2.

We will be opening up a new survey next month though ( https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Community_Tech_team/Community_Wishlist_Survey/Process). In the meantime, you can post the idea at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Tech_project_ideas to get more input on it. More details about all of this will be announced hopefully next week. > 3. I would prefer to have everyone using the same system, which is > lists.wikimedia.org.
