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) 23:58, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

hey

15:17:24, 13 June 2015 review of submission by Csteinbeck

Csteinbeck (talk · contribs)
- Draft:MetaboLights (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I have asked an independent person to edit the article considering your advice above. Afterwards, I have removed further POV language and buzz words such as 'up-to-date' and 'general-purpose'. I hope this is now suitable for publication. Csteinbeck (talk) 15:17, 13 June 2015 (UTC) Csteinbeck (talk) 15:17, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

It looks good. Go ahead and resubmit it, and I will review and approve today. Thanks for taking my comments into consideration! -Pax85 (talk) 15:53, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

For full disclosure, I made a number of edits; I am not working on MetaboLights, but do collaborate with Chris on other projects, and hopefully on MetaboLights in the future too, but that's because the project has impact on our own work. I will continue to spot independent coverage and add that when I run into it. Egonw (talk) 16:13, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification; looking at your page, I already assumed something similar. :) No worries though, I think the issues have been addressed. As soon as it is resubmitted, I (or someone faster than me) will review it again. I will say,however, that in the future, care needs to be taken about who edits the page so WP:COI does not come into play. -Pax85 (talk) 16:53, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

Fully agreed! But I think that message is clear with the EBI team now :) Now, I am not involved in that project directly, but what would be the expected way for me to tell I do collaborate with the team on other projects be? Egonw (talk) 15:39, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

@Egonw:I think that the way you handled it here was just fine: you disclosed it properly and are open to review from non-involved editors. In the future, I would simply encourage you to do the same, perhaps on the talk pages of articles that you edit. Where it gets sticky, however, is if you have a direct financial connection with the subject (which does not seem to exist with MetaboLights, which to me seems to be a distant enough relationship). In those cases, I would refrain from editing those articles all together, unless you have other editors who can examine the work. After all, there are A LOT of articles here that would benefit with someone who has your expertise! I will caution, however, that some editors may take a stronger position than I am, and discourage you from doing any editing on any related articles, but in my opinion, it seems you are handling it well. Pax Verbum 17:12, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

@Egonw:I almost forgot: if you like, I can go through the MetaboLights article myself and look for any biased language. There wasn't much left if I remember quickly, so it shouldn't take long, after which you can resubmit for AFC review. Pax Verbum 17:15, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Andrew III of Hungary

Thank you for your bold and comprehensive copyedit. I made some minor changes. I would appreciate if you could cheque them. Have a nice day! Borsoka (talk) 05:22, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

You are most welcome. I changed one thing: I moved the words around in the sentence dealing with Andrew (the adventurer) back to where I had them, only because placing Andrew that far into the sentence gets confusing; having the subject, in this case Andrew, that far into the sentence can get too cumbersome, especially since we are already dealing with another Andrew. Just trying to keep the meaning clear! -Pax Verbum 05:31, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. What about this version: [1]? My concern is that he (the adventurer) was actually not identical with Andrew, Duke of Slavonia (King Ladislaus IV's younger brother), only pretended it. He was an impostor, similarly to Perkin Warbeck in England in the late 15th century. Borsoka (talk) 13:50, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

That one looks great. I added a couple of words for clarity here. What do you think? -Pax Verbum 16:15, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Perfect. :) Thank you again. Borsoka (talk) 16:18, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
