Balkan Macedonia

Just saw your long-unanswered post there. I personally don't see how Macedonia could be construed as something other than the state when in a list of state and with the state flag next to it. Regards, CMD (talk) 20:17, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

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) 12:08, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Future editing plans

Hi Rich,

I happened across your user page today from your GA nom and saw that we've got some similar interests, so I thought I'd briefly introduce myself. (Or have we "met" before? It's always hard to keep track on Wikipedia--I've certainly seen your name around.)

Anyway, I was thinking of tackling one or both of Dred Scott v. Sandford and Gideon v. Wainwright in the next year, and I happened to notice they were on your list, too. I'm in the middle of some other projects, but I thought I'd plant the seed now: if you're ever interested in a collaborator on either, feel free to drop me a line! In the meantime, another editor and I are working on bringing Fourteenth Amendment itself to GA; if you're interested, your thoughts would be very welcome.

Thanks for your extensive work on US citizenship law--it's hugely appreciated! All best, -- Khazar2 (talk) 23:25, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

(Copied from User talk:Khazar2) Hi. Thanks for contacting me. I've been busier with real-world stuff this year than in the past, so I haven't been quite as able to whittle away at my to-do list as I might have hoped. If you can do a good job of cleaning up Dred Scott or Gideon, by all means go ahead. As for our past interactions, Snottywong's editor interaction analyzer tool says we both spoke up (albeit indepdendently) on the Will Beback ban appeal discussion a few months ago, and we might or might not have seen each other on a couple of other pages. — Richwales (no relation to Jimbo) 01:47, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

I didn't vandalise anything, I read from this website that Joseph Stalin was the religious leader of the Mormons so I correct the article to "Joseph Stalin". --CplSmugleaf (talk) 06:19, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
