Thanks for your message. Yes that was my doing. The whole issue of Page 3, lads mags, internet pornography etc. is very much in the news within the UK at the moment, (some of it is fall-out after the Leveson Inquiry), and I was flicking through various articles to see what Wikipedia had on it.

I was made a few mental notes such as:

• a lot of the lads mags models come from "Girl Management Ltd", "Samantha Bond Ltd" and "Mode Model Management" and none of them have WP articles;
• the Lose the Lads Mags campaign does not have an article;
• the No More Page 3 campaign needs an infobox and some more content;
• the head of the No More Page 3 campaign, Lucy-Ann Holmes is noteworthy enough to have her own article;
• former Page 3 model and now official Page 3 photographer Alison Webster could do with an article;
• and her husband Geoff Webster, former Deputy Editor of the Sun, who is currently awaiting trail on
  conspiracy charges
  could also do with his own article (I currently have two drafts on the go for the Websters).

During all of this I noticed that the Page 3 girls section of the article on Page 3 consisted of one long list of names for the 40+ years that the feature has been going, so I broke them down into when were they born. After that I went onto the names of the models born from 1981 onwards and added the pornography portal, because they're Page 3 girls. I considered this to be nothing more than a touch of housekeeping and I don't regard the case for removing the portal as having been made.

Just as a follow-up, the remaining 26 articles listed here are all Page 3 girls that don't appear to have any other "claim to fame" in the pornography field other than appearing on Page 3 in the past. I'm going to leave them there for the time being until whatever "controversy" over Page 3 girls being involved in softcore pornography is resolved somewhere else.

As an aside, I've been working on clearing the backlog of "Unassessed" and "???" Pornography Project articles over the last few months. We're down to just a few sets of re-directs and some mostly categories & templates left, which I'm also going to mostly leave alone for now as well. Guy1890 (talk) 23:14, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi Guy, just wondering whether you meant to do this, or whether it was an error to do with the script you're using. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 21:01, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

That's what the Reflinks script did. If it was in error, I'll take responsibility for it and apologize. Guy1890 (talk) 22:14, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited French postcard, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page AKA (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

It was intentional. Guy1890 (talk) 23:18, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Shock site may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page. Thanks,

Fixed, I think. Guy1890 (talk) 00:15, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

It's not that unusual (maybe a little lazy). All of the articles are about similar topics, with similar problems. (We do have a

If you look at the limited editing history of the user in question (a 96% AfD vote record, little to almost no article content editing, etc.), I think something is almost certainly awry. It didn't just bother me that the content that was posted was obviously cut-and-pasted over a very, very short period of time, but it was also frequently, apparently not correct in its "analysis" either. I've seen more than a couple of deletionists in action on Wikipedia (which is neither here nor there really), but this kind of behavior is new to me. The real reason that I added my comments in the first place was exactly to make sure that these comments will "likely be discounted by the closing admin.". BTW, it really doesn't matter to me whether any of the articles in question are deleted. Guy1890 (talk) 00:57, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

Just to document this situation further (in lieu of taking any action at this time), the user in question here does not appear to be learning, and their behavior appears to be accelerating, not diminishing. So far, most of their nominated AfDs are being closed as Keeps (too be fair, a bunch of them are still open as well), and they don't even appear to be noticing or even caring about their behavior. Luckily, I'm not the only one that's noticed this behavior recently. Guy1890 (talk) 07:34, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

The conduct of this user is unfortunately actually accelerating even more now, with AfDs filed by this user being 1.5 times more likely to be closed as Keep and many of the more recently-filed AfDs (that aren't yet closed) by this same user also on a path to likely Keeps. A few more other users have noted some concerns about this user's behavior on

IDHT behavior IMHO. I'm not sure if mentoring would help out or not. Guy1890 (talk

Thanks for grouping the two Wavell refs in the

I wasn't planning on editing the second article that you mention above. The Reflinks tool does add those "autogenerated" tags sometimes, and I usually just leave them be. It's no big deal to me, and, if someone else wants to change them, then that's fine by me as well. Guy1890 (talk) 07:31, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

OK. I've seen other editors grouping duplicate quotes while still identifying the sources. I have no idea how they do it, but I think it might be a tool. In any case, not a problem. Thanks. --Rskp (talk) 00:20, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

I believe that I made only a very minor edit to this article long ago, which may have been due to a disambiguation error. I don't have any other interest in this article at this time. Guy1890 (talk) 23:32, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

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) 11:27, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
