Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot’s recommendations. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information in the consent information sheet.
We have added information about the quality of the suggested articles using a Low/Medium/High scale which goes from Low 
to High 
.
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Misplaced Pages better — thanks for helping!
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 00:57, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
Invitation to the April Wikification Drive
 | Hi there! I thought you might be interested in WikiProject Wikify's April Wikification Backlog Elimination Drive. We'll be trying to reduce the backlog size by over 1,300 articles and we need your help! Hard-working participants in the drive will receive awards for their contributions, including a brand new one for the single largest wikified article! All you have to do is put an asterisk next to the largest article you've wikified, and coordinators will check its wordcount after the drive ends. If you have a spare moment, please join and wikify an article or tell your friends. Thanks! Note: The drive started April 1, and you can sign up anytime! |
Happy Easter!
Happy Easter, Bennydigital! Hope your day is great! :) Like my singing? Ha-la-la-la-la-la-LA-LAAA!!! (talk) 10:47, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you, and a mighty happy Easter belatedly to you too!!! Benny Digital 07:52, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
The New 52
I respect your constructive criticism, and your attempt to mollify any negative perceptions of it by prefacing it with a compliment (thanks, btw), but I believe it's perfectly valid to level legitimate criticism at people who do sloppy, shitty work. A newbie can be excused for not knowing a particular policy or guideline, which is why I don't criticize them for that. Incoherent writing, on the other hand, is not a newbie issue. If a person is old enough to presume to add a paragraph to an encyclopedia, then they should be able to compose a sentence in the English language. Word processing programs even have Spell and Grammar check for people whose writing skills aren't the best. But the complete disregard for writing that motivates someone to leave gibberish like this is absolutely indefensible. If only one sentence out of a 7-sentence paragraph is legible (and only because it's the simplest, briefest sentence out of the seven), and you don't even know how to use indefinite articles like "the", or conjugate a verb, then simply put, you have no business editing here. Sorry if we have to agree to disagree. Nightscream (talk) 14:55, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
- Actually, I had never interacted with him before. Others apparently have had problems with him, as those earlier messages on his talk page were not from me.
- And btw, I read the back-up story in Justice League #6 that Nteinkvnc cited as his source, and barely any of it supports any of what he wrote. The Phantom Stranger mentions to Pandora that she "rewrote reality". she responds that "I realigned it. I strengthened it." This is a bit vague, and the rest of their conversation even more so. While their exchange could the beginning of the reveal as to what caused the New 52 reality change, we should wait until more details and clarity are provided. At the very least, a blow-by-blow of that backup story was not called for. Since the exact meaning of Phantom Stranger's accusation was a bit obscure, it would be synthesis to conclude that he meant what you or I or Nteinkvnc thinks he meant, and we should wait until we have secondary sources on it.

Stub tags
Hi, Please take care not to add {{stub}} to an article like Day sailer which already has an appropriate subject-specific stub tag. Please also note that all stub tags go at the end of the article, after everything except inter-language links (see WP:ORDER). If you go to put it at the right place, you're more likely to spot the existing stub tag! Thanks. PamD 21:38, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

- Cast iron pipe (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver)
- added a link pointing to Centrifugal casting

A9
I've declined your speedy request at Sherry Rich & Courtesy Move as it doesn't fit. A9 is for non-notable recordings, but only when the artist does not have a Misplaced Pages article. Sherry Rich does. Occasionally, it appears that an artist doesn't have one. An example would be a rapper called Wart hog (could be one - they do pick what look to me like very silly names...) where the author had just put the round the name without adding the (rapper) to it. It's always as well to check this both in Search and in Google to be sure. (Sometimes you get the chance to nominate the artist instead, then come back later for the album...) Peridon (talk) 11:18, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
- If an album isn't A9, or spam, prod or AfD is the course if considered non-notable. Personally, I consider many albums non-notable if their article is only a track listing. I can't see the point... Peridon (talk) 11:21, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
Speedy tagging
Thanks for patrolling new pages, a tedious but essential task! Two points:
- After you tag a page, you should copy to the author's talk page the notice that the speedy template generates for you, towards the bottom, when it expands on the article page. Otherwise he doesn't know what he has done wrong, or what has happened to his page, and probably just puts it in again.
- You tagged Royal rupan krishna with WP:CSD#A1 only four minutes after it was created. New users often put in only a few words and then press "Save page" to see what it looks like: it is BITEy and discouraging if a speedy notice pops up almost immediately, so it is recommended to wait at least 10 - 15 minutes before applying A1 or A3 tags, to see if anything more appears. See {{uw-hasty}}.
There is good advice at WP:NPP, and advice on speedy tagging from an experienced admin at WP:10CSD and WP:A7M. Keep up the good work! Regards, JohnCD (talk) 11:56, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
