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. -- SuggestBot (talk) 12:50, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Date format throughout article tool?

I notice in this edit you changed all the month-day-year formatted dates in the article to day-month-year. Since Homer House is a United States associated article, the former is correct. Not a big deal, we all make mistakes. However, since other people made good edits since, reverting them will be a pain. Did you use some sort of automatic tool to change them all (I hope!) and can you tell me the tool, so I (or you) can use it to change them back? --GRuban (talk) 08:37, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

I changed the article to mdy. The script is linked in the edit summary, but here it is too: User:Ohconfucius/script/MOSNUM dates. Abductive (reasoning) 15:40, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! --GRuban (talk) 21:29, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Moraea villosa

Please note that it is not nice to snark at someone for being slow to add all the bells and whistles to a new wikipedia page, as you did with this addition to my talk page. I was working on a mess that had been created at peacock flower, which necessitated adding citations and new pages to justify restoring what had been deleted. Believe it or not, the work involved plus the repeated crashes of the wikimedia site made the process a bit slow. It is hard enough to maintain cheerfulness about the state of wikipedia; please do not leave such negative comments on my talk page again. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 01:45, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your apology. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 02:02, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

STS

Hi Abductive. You do a lot of good work here. Are you interested in working on upgrading stubs to start class? I think your presence would really make an impact. – Elizabeth (Eewilson) (tag or ping me) (talk) 06:54, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

@Eewilson: I am planning on discussing the STS further with you, on its talk page. Abductive (reasoning) 06:58, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Okay, cool. – Elizabeth (Eewilson) (tag or ping me) (talk) 07:24, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
