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. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker.

Random things

So, I just realised today that in spite of the fact that you've commented on my talk page and you're involved in reviving WikiProject Homeschooling, I hadn't actually visited around your userpage. It's very nice and it seems that we have a few things in common! I'm guessing from the verses that you are Christian of some type - what denomination, if you don't mind my asking? I'm Christian and homeschooled, so those both struck a chord with me. Anyway, it looks like you've been doing great work. I plan to begin working on Alternative education this week if you're interested in stopping by and helping. PrincessofLlyr royal court 03:14, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Great guess. Actually, I don't really belong to any denomination, since I have gone to a Evangelical and a Trinitarian church. AirplaneProRadioChecklist 15:08, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
Cool. I should probably make that more of an emphasis on my page. Hmm, I'll have to pick out my favorite passage...there are so many. I don't really worry about the denominational differences, I was just curious! I'm actually Baptist. Anyhow, it was nice realizing that we have a few things in common. PrincessofLlyr royal court 02:35, 11 July 2010 (UTC) oh, and you have new messages on my page!

Your fresh user logo is now available here. If you want any changes made, just say as I can do them quickly. Thanks, Rock drum Ba-dumCrash (Review me) 17:34, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

GOCE July 2010 backlog elimination drive chart

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive! We have now passed the halfway point, so here's an update.

Progress Report - Progress toward the targets has been good. 751 articles out of the approximately 1,600 we would like to get completed by the end of the month were done by July 15, so we will be very close to meeting the target for volume. However, we would like to clear all of the 2008 articles from the backlog, and there are still 892 left to do. Please consider choosing one of these older articles when looking for something to copy edit. If we focus our firepower we can completely wipe out 2008 from the queue.

Participation Report - 95 people signed up for the July drive. This is a great result compared to May, when we had 36. However, in May only one person that signed up didn't do any copy edits, and in July only 59 of the 95 have posted any copy edits on the big board.

The task may seem insurmountable but please remember that if all 95 participants copy edit just one article a day from now until the end of the month, we will eliminate 1,300 more articles from the backlog. So please consider participating at whatever level you can! All contributions are appreciated.

This newsletter was prepared for the GOCE by Diannaa (Talk), S Masters (talk), and The Raptor Let's talk.

The documentation for the UserBanner template is now complete. Enjoy! Set Sail For The Seven Seas 299° 30' 15" NET 19:58, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! You did it way better than I could have! AirplaneProRadioChecklist 22:45, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
No problem. I simplified the code as seen here. I wasn't too sure why you added this bit in the first place but having it this way does make the usage a lot easier. Also, you may want to remove the {{underconstruction}} template unless you have more changes to make, since it is pretty much complete.

July 2010

Hello AirplanePro. Thanks for the speedy deletion work you are doing; it's a very important activity! I did want to let you know, though, regarding Stanislas Krzesinski, that current consensus holds that it is bad practice to tag articles for speedy deletion as lacking context (CSD A1) or content (CSD A3) moments after creation, as users may be actively working on the article content. Ten to fifteen minutes is considered a good time to wait before tagging such articles under either of these criteria. Please note that before an appropriate waiting period is over, the articles should not be marked as patrolled, so that the wait does not result in the article escaping review at a later time. Nothing here is meant to apply to any other criterion; attack pages and copyright violations especially should be tagged and deleted immediately. Thanks. elektrikSHOOS 18:14, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

About Yuuki Masahiko page

Thank you for welcoming me, although I signed up few months ago XD. Anyway, I've added some external links on the page about Yuuki Masahiko, so is that enough as reliable source? GN-0015 (talk) 19:50, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Not necessarily. Go to Referencing for beginners to learn how to reference a page. I learned there. AirplaneProRadioChecklist 19:57, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
I just put up a reference about a tour that he will be taking part in. So, is it good enough? GN-0015 (talk) 20:31, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
That's the first step. Add more, if you can! AirplaneProRadioChecklist 21:44, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
I'll stop at that for now cus I got a lot of things to do. But I'll try to improve myself from time to time. Hope to have more guidance from you and other mods in the future!! GN-0015 (talk) 23:57, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Your recent edit to my talk page

Hi! You recently edited[1] my talk page by adding a notice stating that a redirect I created has been listed at rfd. However, there is no indication that this ever happened. Therefore I'll be removing your edit from my talk page. Next time, feel free to add a listing notice AFTER it is actually listed. --Bxj (talk) 10:30, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
