Cloisters Edits

User:Doniago Hi, can you explain why you reverted my edits? There is not any information on the page about the library and archives, and these I would argue, are notable aspects of the institution- I provided citations and links, and the library/archives are a large institution, with published materials written about them. Also, I am very familiar with GLAM-Wiki policies, and my intention with adding that section was to expand coverage of the library/archives digitized materials as to aid researchers that wanted to dig deeper from the main Cloisters page.

The most direct reason is that external links should not be placed in the body of an article per WP:ELPOINTS. Hence I removed that bit, and for clarity moved the exisiting citation to the end of hte text it was supporting. If a third-party source has discussed the library/archives then it may be appropriate for use as a reference, or you may be able to refactor the external link for use as a reference. Alternately you could place it in an External Links section. DonIago (talk) 20:03, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Salem's Lot Edits

Hello Doniago, regarding the edits I made to Salem's Lot which you undid, the changes were necessary and proper. 1: The plot of the movie varies depending on which version you're seeing, which was one of the first amendments I made and which is not currently cited. 2: There is an incorrect reference to Father Callahan 'sacrificing himself' in the existing text. 3: There are references to vampires 'killing' their victims, which is an incorrect description. 4: The additional info I attempted to include would have helped to explain the plot without making the section inordinately lengthy, considering it is a three-hour production (depending on which version is being referred to). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.137.245.207 (talk) 19:59, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Film guidelines specify a word count of 400-700 in most cases (WP:FILMPLOT). That includes films exceeding three hours in length. I'm open to seeing the plot reworked to accommodate different material, but if you genuinely feel that the plot needs to be significantly over 700 words then I would request that you make your case and develop a consensus at the article's talk page.

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

We 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 suggestions

We 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:

Views/Day: Daily average number of views an article's had over the past 14 days.
Quality: Predicted article quality on a 1- to 3-star scale. Placing your cursor over the stars should give you a pop-up describing the article's quality (Low/Medium/High), current assessment class, and predicted assessment class.

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:

Content: Is more content needed?
Headings: Does this article have an appropriate section structure?
Images: Is the number of illustrative images about right?
Links: Does this article link to enough other Wikipedia articles?
Sources: For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?

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) 11:26, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

I merged list of episodes to a cancelled one-season show

I merged a list of episodes of a one season TV show titled Chase. It was listed to discuss to merged the List of Chase episodes to that show since it was cancelled for one season awhile ago. It started in June 2013. I think List of Chase episodes should probably be deleted since I just merged those episodes on the article of that show. BattleshipMan (talk) 03:31, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

I'm not really sure what you're looking for from me with regards to this. DonIago (talk) 03:53, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

I just don't know anyone who deletes articles and List of Chase episodes is pretty much done for since I merged those episodes from it's first and only season. BattleshipMan (talk) 08:33, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

Ah. I think you need an admin to do that. Wikipedia:Merging covers how to best handle actual merging of articles. If that doesn't handle the deletion of the merged article, there's always WP:AFD. DonIago (talk) 13:21, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
