The Bugle: Issue LXXXIX, August 2013
The Bugle is published by the Military history WikiProject. To receive it on your talk page, please join the project or sign up here. Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBotWe 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 suggestionsWe 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:
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:
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) 00:45, 22 August 2013 (UTC) The Signpost: 21 August 2013
image deletionThe image you just deleted is being used as evidence in an ANI on the user that requested the deletion. Please restore it so that the editors involved in the ANI can view the original post (The editor has subsequently modified his post to remove policy infractions) Gaijin42 (talk) 16:01, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
ANII clicked here because it says "chat". What a neat feature... Please let me know if you have anything unclear that I can shed the light no. --Michael Haephrati 17:43, 27 August 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michael.haephrati (talk • contribs) Hijiri88 continues to provokeI am sorry to update you that Hijiri88 continues to harass. He sent me 3 emails today and after I stopped responding to him, he published the same old claims that were already dealt as part of the ANI. I really don't want to get back into this fight with him, as he seems to have taken it very personally and I would like to stay out of it. However, he is sabotaging the AfD and I kindly ask you to look into it. --Michael Haephrati (talk) 12:47, 28 August 2013 (UTC) Congratulations!
Help NeededI have noticed that this user is a new editor that needs help. He is editing several articles adding to them a reference to an article he has written. Besides the notability question, technically he didn't insert the cites correctly. This is the article where I have undone his edits. Following my comments in his talk page he now seeks for advice. Michael Haephrati (talk) 15:53, 29 August 2013 (UTC) Another editor threats to remove images from an articleWhile I am doing my best to work on new articles, help others, etc. Gaijin42 is trying to pick a flight and provoke me. After he uploaded a screenshot of my personal blog page, claiming its his own work (file you have removed), he is picking screenshots from the Rashumon article which another user (someone from my family, but not me) has uploaded at 2011. He has commented here, probably to get me to admit it is me. I don't think this is how things should work. You can investigate any suspicion but it should not be a reason to remove sources and images from an article. I don't understand why he is so anxious to edit this article, especially before the AfD is over. Michael Haephrati (talk) 16:17, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
Here are the possibilities. Pick your poison.
Do, to sum it up, your claim is that someone else, obtained files that you created (in particular two selfie photographs of you), created an account on wikimedia and wikipedia which claimed to be you, uploaded those files, added those files to articles about products you wrote, got discovered and blocked as socks, you came along later completely unrelated, you used that photo on your userpage (how did you know it had been uploaded to wiki commons?) Gaijin42 (talk) 16:40, 29 August 2013 (UTC) step awayI will step away, but would you consider either re-adding the image links (or some other way of pointing to the images) (diff perhaps?) so that the administrator who handles the SPI has access to the information? Gaijin42 (talk) 17:54, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
Manning on ANI've moved the discussion to the ANI subpage per a request on my talk. I was in the process when you closed the thread on AN so I replaced your close with a redirect. I hope that OK? --RA (✍) 11:28, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
