User talk:Go Phightins!/Archive 18
Education Program IncorporationHey! I know you're out-of-contact, and I hope you're having a good break. When you return, I'm wondering if you'd be interested in helping me to format/update my new adoption course or possibly becoming an instructor in it. I think IRC would be a good forum for this, or chat of some sort. --Jackson Peebles (talk) 00:01, 4 July 2013 (UTC) The Signpost: 03 July 2013

 IRC office hours for wiki-mentors and Snuggle usersHi. We're organizing an office hours session with the Teahouse to bring in mentors from across the wiki to try out Snuggle and discuss it's potential to support mentorship broadly.

See the agenda for more info. --EpochFail(talk • work), Technical 13 (talk), TheOriginalSoni (talk) 17:32, 12 July 2013 (UTC) 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.

I'm hoping to write an article on the "controversial" cheerios ad that has everybody with their knickers in a knot. Would you be interested in helping out? Ryan Vesey 20:45, 14 July 2013 ()
DRN needs your help!Hi there. I've noticed it's been a while since you've been active at DRN, and we could really use your help! DRN is going to undergo some changes soon, so it'd really be great if our backlog is cleared before the start of August and we have as many people on board to help with the changes (they include a move to subpages and the creation of a rotating "co-ordinator" role to help manage things day-to-day. Hope to see you soon! Steven Zhang Help resolve disputes! 11:32, 15 July 2013 (UTC) The Signpost: 17 July 2013

posted by Northamerica1000(talk) 13:55, 23 July 2013 (UTC) I've added an opt-in section for those interested in receiving TAFI notifications on the project's main page, located here.
