Hyundai Sonata
Hi Rsirkanth05,
I am a student at Cornell University and am editing the Hyundai Sonata page as part of a project for a class (INFO 3460: Online Communities). Thanks for the note about the 4th gen Sonata being called the Sonata embera. Do you happen to have a source for this? Also, please let us know if you have any other suggestions for edits to the page.
Thanks, D(QQ)b (talk) 04:07, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
- I believe I added that statement when I was new to Wikipedia, around four years ago. I'm not too sure that there is a source for it. The Sonata Embera was a name used only in India, as far as I can remember. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 14:15, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

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) 23:40, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

- Wikipedia is not an avenue for you to display your 'comic genius' or "have fun" at the expense of the accuracy of the content. Encyclopaedic content that adheres to the policies and guidelines stays. Everything else is tossed out. -- Rohini (talk) 19:29, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
- P.S: I am an Indian. In case you haven't figured out frm my previous message, and since you evidently have not seen my user page. As for the perverted history, point out the errors and they shall be fixed. I don't project myself as neutral and with high values. I am neutral and shall always remain so. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 22:43, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Moving a page
Hi, thanks for helping after the bad move of Municipal Corporations in India.
However, copying and pasting from one page to another has bad results; we lose track of the edit history, which shows who has contributed what to the article.
I think I have fixed that page now, but please see WP:MOVE if you need to do that again. Kind regards – Fayenatic London 22:40, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
- I'm really sorry about that. Forgive me. I shall ensure it is never repeated. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 11:16, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
