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 ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 00:56, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

SpamFest?

This is regarding the Long Tail Magic page. It is a software being used by internet marketers. It is a product developed by a small company that competes with Google Analytics. How is it a SPAM ?

Do you guys get Kicks out of just throwing words at others?

Compare Long Tail Magic with Google Analytics and tell me what you think.

They are products of the same league. One by a company that makes billions of dollars, and one by a struggling company. So you prefer pushing the developing companies down rather than encouraging them to keep up with the competition.

And if I am wrong, tell me what can I specifically do to make this page meet your expectations. (Specifically).

Help to Address the Delete Article Concerns.

Please help in the above matter, if you can. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sushila69 (talk • contribs) 19:06, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Re: SpamFest?

I will re-write the software specs and get back to you.

Thanks for your feedback. I hope I could get this and other products listed which is important as the big companies get themselves totally visible all over the world and the small ones are filtered and not given the visibility. This results in the big companies getting bigger and the smaller companies just dying out. You might not understand this, but if you do, I need not say anything further.

Cheers

The Sky is Falling

Thanks for the assistance. If there is no objection, I will now go ahead and do some editing and cleaning up the articles linked from The Sky Is Falling. Unless you have some other advice. Yours, GeorgeLouis (talk) 20:35, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Picture on commons, how do I get it to the article

I have a picture, public domain, uploaded to commons (Colorado & Southern 890) that I want to display in the article "General Electric U30C locomotive).

I see that in editing it has the format image.jpg but I can't get it displayed in the article.

I've also tried to drag and drop but that doesn't work.

Pleas help

Speedy deletion

I do not understand your thinking. If you look on Amazon, B&N, other book sites around the world, you will see my novels. You can also Google my name and see the lectures and signings I perform. I will abide by the rules, but I would like them clarified a little more. Thank you.

Sir Tristram

I've removed the CSD tag, the criteria you added was simply ridiculous. Any image could be tagged that you don't believe the uploader owns the copyright. Unless you have evidence of a copyright violation the CSD criteria clearly do not apply. Please note raised this at AN/I hereJustin talk 21:10, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

I took it to AN/I more to log my actions in removing the CSD tag than any attempt at censuring you. I notified you of the thread as a courtesy. There was not intention to upset you and if I have I apologise. Peace? Justin talk 21:29, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

No worries, text is a poor medium for conveying intentions, you don't have the full understanding of communication without the body language to accompany it. Misunderstanding are all too easy. As Spike Milligan used to say, love, light, peace. Justin talk 21:38, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Response on SPAM

I've looked at the response you gave to me including http://benrandall.co.uk/bridging_loan_finance_guide.aspx as a reference and I wanted to confirm that if I make the information into a PDF document or edit the web page above to include no adverts or offers of service it would be acceptable? - I'm half way through creating the additional entries of 'Open Bridging Finance' and 'Closed Bridging Finance' (it's taken me ages!) and don't want my efforts to be for nothing by my references being classed as SPAM.

I felt the content of the above web page included information that was more accurate and up to date than the actual 'Bridge Loan' entry. Please can you confirm the restrictions I should apply so I can have an entry created that will remain and not even be remotely associated with SPAM

Thanks in advance

BTL-GURU (talk) 21:57, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply - I'll go through the information you've provided and hopefully my efforts wont be in vain! Regards BTL-GURU (talk) 23:55, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

piped wikilinks on disambiguation pages...

I have asked another contributor to the Shahzada page to note what Wikipedia:Disambiguation has to say about piped wikilinks:

"Do not pipe disambiguation links. Showing the entire linked article title avoids confusion, which is the reason for the link in the first place."

Your revision also employs a piped wikilink.

Cheers! Geo Swan (talk) 01:00, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

I disagree with him. I don't believe above statement in regard to pipe disambiguation does necessarily refer to your revision. Don't you think? I would appreciate if you clarify it. I believe that the word Shahzada should be linked to its subpage as it is linked. Kind regards Parvazbato59 (talk) 03:53, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Societas Rosicruciana

Hi, you were involved, slightly, in this one before, so I'd like to ask your help in explaining the problem to User:Knightpriest: This user keeps trying to add information on a group without any third party references, making me question its notability/existence, outside of the minds of its own members. Here he tried to add reference material to cite the creation of the group in 2008, from material published in 1987. Additionally he states: I cannot provide references or documentary evidence to back up our existence, as there are none unless you can take my word for it.--Vidkun (talk) 14:11, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Assistance

Hi, would you take a look at this. Thanks Parvazbato59 (talk) 23:24, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Actually it seems that the result of my AFD nomination is "redirect" and shahzada has already been redirected. So I think this is better and I would like it to remain as a redirect. Regards Parvazbato59 (talk) 01:52, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Hello Ukexpat

Thanks for your note. I'm still trying to work out how to create an article. I've got one 'set up' for John Frederick France which I prepared yesterday and I didn't know how to get it from my user page into live Wikipedia. However today I searched for the same article and it came back with no article existing. So I clicked on the red text and it steered me into editing an article of the same name. I've now copied in my Wikipedia text and saved it. Will this be enough to create my article? Is this the way to do it? Jackross (talk) 15:06, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

John Frederick France

Hi Ukexpat Thanks for the help - it looks good so far. I've added a couple of words and an external link to clarify the sources a bit. I'll need to return and tidy up the external links a tad. The RCS Archive information was sent to me directly from them, so, difficult to quote anything different. Thanks again. Jackross (talk) 17:27, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Heads up

You're being discussed here, in regards to that Sheree Silver articles for deletion. The creator, Spring12, seems bound and determined to belittle and discount anyone who voted delete. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 04:21, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

New article 'John Frederick France'

Thanks Ukexpat for tidying up the article a bit which has helped me understand a few other formatting tools. I've also looked at the format for the Notes and I've added External Links. Is this article acceptable now or is there more work to do? How do I confirm if this is a 'notable' entry or not? The individual concerned was an eminent Ophthalmic Surgeon at Guys. Let me know if there's anything else to do, so I know what I'm doing next time. I have a number of new articles to submit regarding a famous family of Cabinet Makers and I want to make sure I'm not wasting my time. Many Thanks again. Jackross (talk) 13:54, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Gerald N. Epstein

Ukexpat -- Yesterday, I tried to place my original entry on Gerald Epstein with an extensive revision (in organization, content, tone, and style), now headed "Gerald N. Epstein." But it doesn't seem to be turning up. Can you tell me what I didn't to in order for the change to take place? Many thanks. David Hollidays (talk) 13:43, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Edit tab missing

The edit tab is missing in the beginning section of my article Harry Dennis (musician). The picture is where the edit tab used to be. I want the picture to remain, but I need an edit tab to access that section. Help please. --DA01 03:24, 8 April 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by DA01 (talk • contribs)

Gerald N. Epstein Again

Moving Gerald N. Epstein

Thanks for WP:Move, which I see doesn't seem to give up it's secrets at first glance. Meanwhile, a simpler question, I hope: How do I create a pipe? I don't see one on my computer, and so far as I can tell neither "i" nor "l" can be converted into one. David Hollidays (talk) 18:51, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
