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) 01:22, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

Linking

Mr. Northamerica1000, may you link List of Mexican dishes to [1] ?

I could not. Thanks. --Opus88888 (talk) 15:51, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

@Opus88888:

Done. See diff at Spanish Wikipedia. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 22:35, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

Kind regards. --Opus88888 (talk) 22:38, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

Nope, you did not fix it, page in English links to [2]

Thanks. --Opus88888 (talk) 22:42, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

Oops, now I see. I did the opposite of your request. Interestingly, at Wikidata (link) it states that List of Mexican dishes links to Anexo:Platillos mexicanos on Spanish Wikipedia, but when following using the link in the languages section of the List of Mexican dishes article, it redirects to Gastronomía mexicana on Spanish Wikipedia, which then redirects to Gastronomía de México. I hesitate to mess around with the redirects at Spanish Wikipedia, so in lieu of this, I have added a link to the Spanish article in the External links section of List of Mexican dishes on English Wikipedia. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 23:00, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

Nice idea. Regards. --Opus88888 (talk) 16:50, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

@Opus88888: Update – User:Yngvadottir fixed the matter (diff). The Español link on the sidebar of the List of Mexican dishes page now links directly to Anexo:Platillos mexicanos on Spanish Wikipedia. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 00:27, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

Glad for the attention. --Opus88888 (talk) 19:25, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

DYK for Cuisine of Jharkhand

On 28 August 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Cuisine of Jharkhand, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the cuisine of Jharkhand and Bihari cuisine are often similar, in part because these separate states were at one time the single state of Bihar? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Cuisine of Jharkhand. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Roast of Justin Bieber

I saw you edited Roast of Justin Bieber. Just wanted to say thanks for that. I couldn't figure out the right direction to take on that particular article, especially after it was written the way it was. Looks pretty good now, just needs expanded now.
