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) 23:43, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Joseph Carraro, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page SMU. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:21, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Was intentional, hence "disambiguation needed" added too. Hamish59 (talk) 09:28, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for all your good work fixing citations. Keep it up! - 2/0 (cont.) 01:16, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

In this edit, you added |displayauthors=9 to make an error message go away, but the original article has more than nine authors, so the proper fix is to either add |displayauthors=8 to replicate the existing display or click through to the source and add the remaining authors. The former is less work; the latter is more accurate. If you have made similar edits, can you please change the "9" to an "8" to avoid making it appear, inaccurately, as if there are nine and only nine authors? Thanks.

Also in that particular citation, authors were duplicated. All of the article's authors are listed in the |author= parameter already, so the citation is not accurate. I have fixed this one. Be careful out there; there's a lot of crazy stuff in citations. – Jonesey95 (talk) 01:26, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

Ah, my mistake. I saw "last9=" and no "last10=" so thought there was only 9 authors. I did not realize / spot that "author=" was being used also. Redundant, surely? Hamish59 (talk) 10:23, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

Yes, redundant, but the larger point applies to your other similar edits. If there are nine authors listed, you can't assume that displaying all nine is the correct way to fix the error message. The citation template was previously limited to nine authors, but it is no longer limited. That means that three ways to fix the error message are valid: add |displayauthors=8 to replicate the existing display (without checking the original source to see if it has more than nine authors); click through to the source, see that there are more than nine authors, and add the remaining authors; or click through to the source, see that there are exactly nine authors, and add |displayauthors=9 (or use a larger number). It's your choice, but one of those should be chosen, as far as I can tell. Simply adding |displayauthors=9 is not a valid choice, as it often misrepresents the number of authors in the source.

Thanks for cleaning up these error messages. We are close to the point where we can get rid of this error message and its tracking category entirely. It once had about 12,000 articles in it; I cleaned up over 11,000 of them using manual editing and a little help from Citation Bot. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:05, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

Understood. I will go back through the ones I have done. Hamish59 (talk) 17:10, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. I appreciate your diligence. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:46, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

Was I mistaken? Is Riak 2.0.0 not released yet? Michaelmalak (talk) 21:50, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

Michaelmalak, please accept my apologies. I was making a minor edit and somehow managed to undo yours. Totally unintentional. I have self reverted. Hamish59 (talk) 22:17, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

Please do not change refs over one line to over many lines. Best

I do see where I have messed up on .5: The Gray Chapter by not putting an 'E' after Donnie Steele's name. Thank you for notifying me and correcting the change. -Colin Wrightson (rlrrlrll) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rlrrlrll (talk • contribs) 16:33, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello,

Apologies, I ma new to this game!

You recently deleted an edit I made regarding the 'tie-up' between HMS Queen Elizabeth (R08) and Heart of Midlothian FC as it 'did not appear constructive'

Whilst one element of my edit was childish (and should not have been added)I feel that the formalising of Heart of Midlothian as the official Football Club is relevant to the page which will be marked by the official exchange of pennant on 8 November. A link is here: http://www.heartsfc.co.uk/news/3961

May this deletion be reconsidered?

Many thanks

Whilst one element of my edit was childish is one reason I reverted your change. That element was completely unencyclopedic. Also, your use of the past tense to talk about a future date was highly suspect On 8 November 2014, Heart of Midlothian FC became the...

By all means, feel free to add the information you want to, but I would suggest reading Wikipedia:Five pillars as a starting point. Hamish59 (talk) 16:00, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

I was wondering what you mean by ditto when you reply to my edits on different articles.--Paleface Jack (talk) 16:08, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Which article(s)? I am not replying to your edits, but to my own. So "fix broken citation" followed by "ditto" when I find another one. I did not realise that your edits were interleaving with mine. Hamish59 (talk) 16:51, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Some jerk on the Internet. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Creature (2011 film) because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. The reverted edit can be found here. --some jerk on the Internet (talk) 22:34, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

Sorry about that; my mistake. Glad to see you've caught my error and already fixed my bad revert. Sorry again. --some jerk on the Internet (talk) 22:36, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
