[edit]

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).
