This script detects potentially promotional words and displays them in a bar near the top. The words are also highlighted in the article. Clicking on one of the words in the bar at the top scrolls to the first occurrence of that word (in the middle of the viewport). You can report false positives (word combinations that are not promotional like "outstanding warrant").
