NB. The following tools are no longer maintained and may not work. I recommend that you install the Citation Expander gadget in your user preferences (listed under "Editing gadgets"); this can expand a reference from just a DOI, PMID number, and often a URL.
Quick links:

=Change Log=
27th July 2009
Google Scholar has had a facelift, causing a bug in the screen-ripping algorithm (which was always stretching Google's terms of service a little more than I liked). So I've created a GreaseMonkey userscript for the Scholar front-end. I'll work on it occasionally to restore the previous functionality. Users can just add the WP:SCHOLAR add on and everything should behave as it used to (but more reliably).
