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. -- SuggestBot (talk) 00:09, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

IMDB link

Oh, no question intended, I could see what the problem was, and don't blame you for taking the content out at first glance. I just thought I'd double-check the IMDb link to see what was there, and when there wasn't anything at all about any kind of "Newly unearthed ITV play", I took a closer look. --McGeddon (talk) 16:48, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Pronoun?

Can you clarify who "you" refers to in this edit? Toddst1 (talk) 16:14, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
