Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. 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 on the SuggestBot study page.
IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.
Changes to SuggestBot's suggestions
We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
- Views/Day
- Daily average number of views an article's had over the past 14 days.
- Quality
- Predicted article quality on a 1- to 3-star scale. Placing your cursor over the stars should give you a pop-up describing the article's quality (Low/Medium/High), current assessment class, and predicted assessment class.
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:
- Content
- Is more content needed?
- Headings
- Does this article have an appropriate section structure?
- Images
- Is the number of illustrative images about right?
- Links
- Does this article link to enough other Wikipedia articles?
- Sources
- For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?
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 Wikipedia 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) 23:54, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

I've declined your speedy as the article had been restored by User:DGG. He probably got interrupted before he could remove the tags (I've done it now), and you wouldn't be able to see that it had been restored because that only appears under the delete button. I thought it couldn't have gone for seven years without being deleted. Peridon (talk) 21:04, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
- right. There are more books, and I'm working on adding them DGG ( talk ) 21:31, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
Re: Colares UFO flap
I actually thought it was a fake AFD, as the link to the AFD entry in the template was red since their wasn't a proper deletion entry page at the time.– Nohomers48 (talk • contribs) 00:46, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
Are you sure you wanted the AfD closure notice on Talk:List of mobile phones with HD display?
The notice that you put on Talk:List of mobile phones with HD display regarding the closure of the AfD is preventing the auto-redirect of that page. Would not this notice be better placed on the page in its new location? This could easily just be a scripting problem. Something similar happened at the closure of the previous AfD. At the time it was mentioned that it was a scripting issue. The available script does not appear to handle AfD's with multiple pages. The issue at that time was that the AfD notice was not removed from all pages. That is not the case this time as ViperSnake151 removed the AfD notice from all three pages shortly after sating his withdrawal of the AfD. The talk page notice probably should also be added to the other two pages. With most things I would be bold and just fix it. However, as the original creator of those two pages, I don't feel comfortable messing around with the resolution of their AfD. Makyen (talk) 02:43, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
- @Makyen: yeah, go ahead and do whatever you need to, I use a script as well. Ansh666 04:15, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
Your AfD closure has been reversed
Hello! Your decision to do a non-admin closure on the AfD discussion for List of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon episodes (2014) was inappropriate at several levels: (1) the discussion did not run seven days, (2) the closure paid no attention to the consensus that was being generated for the article's deletion and (3) the redirect of the article was done unilaterally and ignored the growing consensus among Wikipedia editors that the article was not right for Wikipedia at this time. As a result, I have reversed your non-admin closure in order for the discussion to run its full course. In future, please ensure that your non-admin closures are reflective of the consensus being generated by your fellow editors. Thank you. And Adoil Descended (talk) 21:51, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
- @And Adoil Descended: none of that really matters, as the creator of the page himself redirected the article, and redirecting is just a softer form of deletion (note that one of the delete voters explicitly stated that it should have been redirected). The main "List of ... episodes" page also redirects to the main page of the show. Ansh666 21:54, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
- I would recommend that an admin review the discussion and determine whether or not a redirect is an appropriate course of action. Thank you. And Adoil Descended (talk) 21:59, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
- I know, I'm going to, as it would be highly inappropriate to re-close that. That sort of redirect is supposed to be routine and uncontroversial, though (especially since it was implemented by the page creator), so I merely reported it and closed the discussion because there isn't supposed to be anything more worth discussing. Ansh666 22:04, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

FYI
A proposal has been made to create a Live Feed to enhance the processing of Articles for Creation and Drafts. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/RfC to create a 'Special:NewDraftsFeed' system. Your comments are welcome. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:38, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
Your comment at ANI
I'm not sure I understood your reference to Oncenawhile's comment about me at the ANI. Are you quoting the comment to bring it to the admins' attention or to agree with him? Wieno (talk) 09:21, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- @Wieno: just bringing it to their attention. I didn't really look at your contribs and only skimmed the AfD, and I don't really care which way it goes. 6an6sh6 20:22, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

St. Edwards Hall
Halls in the University of Notre Dame are notable of a specific wikipedia page. They are not only dormitories because of the specific residential system at Notre Dame. Each Hall is independent, as if they were residential colleges of Oxford and Cambridge. Each has its own history, traditions, mascot, team and building. Additionally, St. Edwards Hall is on the Register of Historic places of Indiana, since it is old and of significantly relevant architecture. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eccekevin (talk • contribs) 20:54, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
Dera user Ansh666, why do you continue deleting the articles about the Residence Halls of the University of Notre Dame? They are historic landmarks of the state of Indiana, they have been part of the history of one of the prominent Universities of the US and have housed many important figures in history. Also, they are not just dormitories, but the University of Notre Dame has a special residential system that provides each Hall with its own independence, history, tradition and spirit. Eccekevin (talk) 02:01, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
I reverted after researching additional material and providing primary and secondary soucres, as the National Register of Hisotrical Places that encompasses both Badin and Alumni.I found also other sorces, but I believe that that alone should confer notability to a building.

Jason Fernandez AfD
Is that your IP? I am tepmted to revdelete it as personal information, unless you don't mind people knowing that information. → Call me Hahc21 07:01, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
- @Hahc21: no, it's not, I was jut completing the nom as IPs can't create pages (and I generally mark my IP edits as mine anyways). Thanks, though! ansh666 15:47, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
I do understand where you're coming from, but I think you should first consider what the end result of this is first. Erpert blah, blah, blah... 02:49, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
- Ehh, aside from one or two people who put stuff on there frequently, nobody looks at ANRFC. Besides, it's only day 2 of the AfD - who knows what will happen. It likely won't be closed unless ~10 more delete !votes come in or a week passes, anyways. ansh666 02:54, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for your RfA support
Hi there, a bit of a form letter from me, Cyphoidbomb, but I wanted to drop you a line and thank you for your support at my recent RfA. Although I was not successful, I certainly learned quite a bit both about the RfA process and about how the community views my contributions. It was an eye-opener, to say the least. I don't blame you for considering retirement. This is a weird place to work for free. 
I also wanted to express my appreciation at your follow-up comments, and that you took the time to figure out my AfD percentages and stick up for me. Thank you for making that extra effort. It meant a lot to me. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 00:58, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
- @Cyphoidbomb: You're welcome! I've got to thank you too: that was pretty much my first real interaction in RfA, and I can say for sure I'm not submitting myself anytime soon! Cheers, ansh666 10:57, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
- (also, pity that the thing closed before I saw that Kraxler had responded to me, I was going to make a comment about Sample size...eh, it would have been tangential at best, anyways, so whatever!)
- Haha! Yeah, not something to jump into if you're not ready. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:29, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

I'm new to Wikipedia, can you do your best explaining to me in simple terms, why you nominated my article for deletion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peeta Mellark921 (talk • contribs) 21:23, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
- @Peeta Mellark921: I nominated your article for deletion because I don't think that it follows the guidelines outlined at Wikipedia:Notability (and, more specifically, Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)). I've placed a list of helpful links at the top of your user talk page which should help you understand better than if I tried to explain it. ansh666 22:25, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
Wolof Wikipedia
Hi! If you decide to return, about this edit - keep in mind the info you removed is cited to that page of that version of Lih's book, so I restored the info WhisperToMe (talk) 03:34, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
- Ah, I couldn't see the contents of the page, but the search did say "Wolof" was there. Thanks for clearing that up. ansh666 06:54, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
Hey, are you sure you meant speedy delete when you closed this? Seems a little out of procedure, especially with no CSD cited. ansh666 19:48, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
- Given the lack of discussion and the fact that the article could fit A7 or G11 on CSD it didn't make sense to close as no consensus or relist, likely with no activity again.) With that being said, I have no problems restoring and putting up for relist if you so desire -- Tawker (talk) 19:52, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 30
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Paris Peace Treaties, 1947, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Eastern Macedonia (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
