AFC articles under review

Just a reminder, you have two articles that are under review that were last edited on the 8th. If you are no longer reviewing them, please return them to "pending" status. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 19:15, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

 Done - Rich(MTCD)T|C|E-Mail 01:06, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

At the AfC help desk Vb7490 asked about the Quixey article that you reviewed: Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk#Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Quixey. I'm not quite sure what to tell him; to me the article doesn't look that spammy any more. Could you please explain your rationale? Yours, Huon (talk) 02:15, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

A question to you

i have initiated a discussion at talk page of protection policy. The summary of my proposal is : instead of a reviewer it should be replaced by a bot with functions similar to CluebotNG.I just want to ask you whether making such a bot is feasible?Suri 100 (talk) 01:42, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Bot is useful

I found that the bot is performing very well in reverting vandalism. One of the examples can be seen over here. - Bachelor of Ayurveda, Medicine and Surgery. Thanks. --Abhijeet Safai (talk) 11:48, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

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.

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?
