My Edits

I would like to apologize, I often forget to use the edit summaries. Almost all of my minor edits are to remove dead links or fix small things. I generally try to go back in and put in an edit summary if i forget but if you ever need any help clarifying please feel free to post a question.
Thanks.

About barnstars

Anyone can award them, see Wikipedia:BARNSTARS. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 00:08, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Naming references

See if you can use "name" with references so that you only need to give the full reference once, and then after that refer to it just by the name. This means that the reference will only appear once in the "References" section, but each statement cited to it will still have the footnote number related to it.

A random example to see how it works: Keep Calm and Carry On - the Guardian article is cited three times in the article, and the New York Times magazine article is cited twice, but each of them is only listed once in the References section.

Let me know if you need any help with it. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 00:23, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Your next challenge

... or in fact, two challenges.

You have done a great job on The Academy at Lincoln so far, but there are two really big issues that put it at risk of being deleted, or at least "redirected" so that the page just takes the reader to the page about your school district.

First, you need to make a strong statement in the lead of the article about why the school is unique, special and/or notable. You must make a clear claim as to why the school might meet the general notability guideline.

Second, and this is very much related to the first item, you need to find sources about the school that are independent of the school. So that means not the school website, not a teacher's website, and not the school district website. Check the link I posted on the talk page for the article, scroll through the pages, and see what's the best you can find. Or, ask a teacher or school librarian for help. Any printed newspaper - or electronic copy of one, or webpage from one - is a big step in the right direction. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 23:43, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Early College at Guilford

I looked around The Early College at Guilford and it led me to this reference.

So, that URL would be a good reference to support your sentence in the lead about The Early College at Guilford (although it lists it at 18th, not 17th.)

See if you can use the "cite web" ref format to include it. Here's an example of how it's used:

<ref>{{cite web|title=New members honored in National Maritime Hall of Fame|work=Marine Log Magazine|url=http://www.marinelog.com/DOCS/NEWSMMIX/2009feb00061.html|date=February 6, 2009|accessdate=February 18, 2010}}</ref>

(Just replace each item after the = with the information for the Guilford reference - if any item isn't available, just miss that item out.)

This would be the first third party (independent) reference for the article. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 22:33, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Image

Although you've done well to get an image of the school in place, there is a possibility that the fair use rationale you've given won't be accepted.

So if you have a digital camera, or know someone that does, try to take a photo of your own and upload it to Wikimedia Commons with a free license. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 07:05, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Categories

Wikipedia:Categorization is a bit long, but this bit is relevant: "Pages are not placed directly into every possible category, only into the most specific one in any branch. This means that if a page belongs to a subcategory of C (or a subcategory of a subcategory of C, and so on) then it is not normally placed directly into C. For exceptions to this rule, see Eponymous categories and Non-diffusing subcategories below."

I'm not even going to try and summarize Eponymous and Non-diffusing, but I think you may be putting your article into too many categories. So if it's in "Schools in North Carolina" then it doesn't need to be in "Schools in the United States". Or something like that. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 02:29, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Warning

Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests, and consider using the Article Wizard. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article. You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. Syrthiss (talk) 15:07, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

OK I will :)

Sorry I did not know about content forks but I do now I will try better next time thanks Syrthiss.~Adwiii

Bullet point lists

In The Academy at Lincoln, I think it would be better if all of the current bullet point lists were re-written as prose. I think each of these can be summarised in one or two (or maybe three) sentences. Give it a try. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 23:33, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

James morrison

why when on your page it says you don't care about football, do you feel the need to keep editing correct information about something you don't have a clue about. Or are you one of those people who gets their kicks by being a nazi on here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danwba (talk • contribs) 9:30 am, Today (UTC−4)

Ok so if its on soccer base then put in a <ref> tag for it and it wont be removed bc if you put in different info with out citing refs for it it appears as vandalism. I admit i probably should have assumed good faith, but just to clarify an external link does not count as a reference. @ d \/\/ | | | Talk to Me! ~Adwiii 13:40, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

I have gone in and added soccer base as a <ref> tag where i though applicable you may need to further add in more tags and revise where i put some in. i apologize for being a "nazi" although you need to properly reference your information. @ d \/\/ | | | Talk to Me! ~Adwiii 16:41, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Signature broken

Your Wikipedia signature seems to be broken - it has one too many of these | in it. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 01:59, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Demiurge i believe i have fixed it and added a few more things to it thanks for your help @ d \/\/ | | | - Questions? Comments? ~Adwiii 22:33, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Ummm I'm not sure that's an improvement :-) The talk page link seems not to work. Also I think light blue on dark blue is not a good choice... it's quite eye-melting. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 00:23, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

I reall dont know why its different on m preference page ill work on it and see what i can do... @ d \/\/ | | | - Questions? Comments? ~ Adwiii 10:56, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

Yeah i dont know i can change the color but the link works elsewhere ( on my preferences page) so i dont really know what to do about the link. @ d \/\/ | | | - Questions? Comments? ~Adwiii 11:00, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

Test -- @ d \/\/ | | | - Questions? Comments? ~Demiurge1000 15:19, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

OK you want something like <span style="background-color: #0080FF">[[User talk:Adwiii|<font color="#FFFFFF"> @ d \/\/ | | | - Questions? Comments?</font>]]</span> ~[[User:Adwiii |Adwiii]]. The only part I can't work out is how you manage to get the white text to be bold. (I'll fix my own sig in a moment, lol.)-- @ d \/\/ | | | - Questions? Comments?~Demiurge1000 15:25, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

About the bold thing, you can probably put ''' before and after the relevant part of the sig. I've not tried it though. ----Demiurge1000 (talk) 15:30, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

Yeah thanks i had the tag on the inside of the brackets i hope moving it out helped, although apparently not and i still cant understand why the link will work properly in the preview on my preferences page but not here :( @ d \/\/ | | | - Questions? Comments? ~Adwiii 21:47, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

Puzzling. Try copying exactly what I said above, after "something like", and don't add the bolding to it. If that works, then try it with the bolding. ----Demiurge1000 (talk) 22:04, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

copying exactly doesnt work either @ d \/\/ | | | - Questions? Comments? ~Adwiii 23:01, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

Never mind, we can come back to that later I guess :) --Demiurge1000 (talk) 23:27, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

I believe i have fixed it now @ d \/\/ | | | Talk to Me! ~Adwiii 01:00, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

So this is what i dont get it works in all of my warnings such as the one found here, but if i directly copy the code in it doesnt work

{{User talk:92.235.115.47}}
and i for the life of me cant figure out why the code works everywhere but here. @ d \/\/ | | | Talk to Me! ~Adwiii 13:22, 13 March 2011 (UTC) (see talk to me is bold and it should be a link like @d\/\/ | | | is :( )

Thanks for all of your help Demiurge1000 i cant believe i didnt think about that of course it wont link to the page its already on (unless you specify where on the page) but thanks, i changed it to take up less room as i understand some people do not like large siggys_{@ d \/\/ | | |}^Talk 21:14, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Procrastinator userboxes

To complete the set, you could do a "Procrastinator neutral" userbox which uses "themself" instead of "himself". Interestingly, there are some editors (including a few administrators) who have never disclosed what gender they are. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 15:36, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Reviewer permission

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged revisions, underwent a two-month trial which ended on 15 August 2010. Its continued use is still being discussed by the community, you are free to participate in such discussions. Many articles still have pending changes protection applied, however, and the ability to review pending changes continues to be of use.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under level 1 pending changes and edits made by non-reviewers to level 2 pending changes protected articles (usually high traffic articles). Pending changes was applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't grant you status nor change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 02:38, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Rollback

Hello, this is just to let you know that I've granted you Rollback rights. Just remember:

Rollback gives you access to certain scripts, including Huggle and Igloo, some of which can be very powerful, so exercise caution
Rollback is only for blatant vandalism
Having Rollback rights does not give you any special status or authority
Misuse of Rollback can lead to its removal by any administrator
Please read Help:Reverting and Wikipedia:Rollback feature to get to know the workings of the feature
You can test Rollback at Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback
You may wish to display the {{User wikipedia/rollback}} userbox and/or the {{Rollback}} top icon on your user page

If you have any questions, please do let me know.

HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 02:38, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

DYK for James B. Dudley

On 4 April 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article James B. Dudley, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that North Carolina A&T State University President James B. Dudley organized a society whose aims included discouraging African American farmers from getting mortgages? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Azhuras (talk) 19:17, 16 April 2011 (UTC): Okay so not all of it was vandalism, however the pictures, the part about the origin of the name, and the part on the web traffic should not have been removed.

Yes the part about the Image removal did need to be either taken out or sourced/reworded._{@ d \/\/ | | |}^Talk 19:26, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

To be honest, I probably shouldn't have tagged you for vandalism. However the removal of the pics would count as censorship which i could tag you for. _{@ d \/\/ | | |}^Talk 19:29, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Oh, okay. Well you can put them back I guess if it's been discussed before. I just thought they seemed unnecessary but it's a matter of personal opinion and I didn't mean to be disruptive. Azhuras (talk) 19:36, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

About Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi's Wiki Page

Dear Adwii, You are definitely not a Sahaja Yogi or a devotee of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi.You have added a lot of unnecessary and untrue things about her in her page.The Ragneesh Osho thing that you have added is not true at all and that stuff about the national flag is absolute unnecessary.This may confuse the new seekers and they might change their mind about Sahaja Yoga and Self Realization.You see that whenever someone reads about Sahaja Yoga on the Internet they search for it for detailed explanation on Wikipedia and this might be misleading to them.You have also not added many important facts like incurable diseases cured by her etc.Me and my friends have decided to reedit this page in such a way so that it will be more acceptable and understandable for the new seekers and it will also provide a more detailed information about her.I hope for your cooperation.Thanking you in anticipation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SameerTelkar (talk • contribs) 17:14, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Deadlist catch userbox

Well for the Deadliest catch userbox it could be modeled like this

fan-3

This user wholeheartedly believes that Deadliest Catch is the greatest television program in the history of the world and parts beyond.

but somewhat different wording and with a picture. Some good ones I've found include the photo on Deadliest Catch and the picture currently on my userpage. And for the background, it could be like a grayish-blue since it's Deadliest Catch and it's fishing in the ocean. Anything is fine with me, —Rsteilberg ^talk 04:22, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Adoption school?

Hi Adwiii. I was chatting to User:Demiurge1000 about some work I'd been doing at my adoption school and was wondering if you would be interested in running through it? It gives an overview of what I feel are the most important Wikipedia areas, you can do it in your own time, and it might help you with your future on Wikipedia. Totally up to you, of course. Oh yes, and I've had an idea for a series of userboxes - might run it by you and see what you think ;) Worm^TT · (talk) 10:23, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Well, it's just an idea at the moment, but I thought you could have an amusing set of editcountitis userboxes using these sort of facts. I'd rather have a few more facts first though! As for the school, feel free to take your time over considering it, I'll be around to offer any help I can whether or not you decide to. Worm^TT · (talk) 10:34, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi Adwiii. I'm very glad you've decided to take me up on my offer of the adoption school. I've created your own personal page, which is where I'll put lessons and tests. Let me know whenever you're ready for more, and I'll pop along and update it for you. It also has an associated talk page, which you can use to discuss anything you like with me, be it about the school or about any other problems you come across.

Colour UBXs

Hi, thanks for the message. Is there an option of doens't mind the colour..., because I would like to have the following:

Doesn't mind the colour red
Really likes the colour pink
Likes the colour purple
Likes the colour sky blue
Is not a fan of the colour dark blue

Thanks Adam mugliston Talk 18:06, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Hmmm, Well I could either make it so there are a few ways I could do that. I could either make that one of the Parameters or I could make multiple different UBXs each with a different message. Which would you rather? Thanks, Adwiii Talk 18:08, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Actually I decided it would be much to hard to make it a parameter so I decided to make different UBXs. I am still working on them but you will be able to see them here as I complete them. Adwiii Talk 18:27, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

There you go I believe I have made every one you asked for. If there is anything else you need or want done to them please let me know. Again you can see them here

I believe if you put in the color code you want in it will display as such. But then also the id box will display that as well.

Or the alternative is the HTML for the Dark Blue you speak of (#000080) is "Navy" and the HTML for the sky blue you wanted (#00BFFF) is "DeepSkyBlue". For a full list of the colors and their names you can also check Web Colors#X11 color names. Hope that helps, Adwiii Talk 21:55, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

And I will be glad to make the other as well. Adwiii Talk 21:55, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Here is the first one

This user thinks London's articulated buses should not be removed.

Adwiii Talk 22:02, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the bus one, the deepskyblue doesn't seem to be working. Could you check it on my userpage? Adam mugliston Talk 22:07, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Did you by any chance make 'doesn't like the colour...' UBXs? If not, would you mind making that and also 'hates the colour...'? Tell me if I'm showering you with so many userboxes at once, it's just I get ideas and then I forget about them. Adam mugliston Talk 22:10, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Here is the other UBX.

This user thinks the [[{{{1}}}]] is the best Underground line in London.

And I will check on the coloring. Adwiii Talk 22:13, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Ahhh Adam the Problem with the DeepSkyBlue is you arent doing it properly. you have it as {{User:Adwiii/UBX/color/DeepSkyblue}} and it needs to be {{User:Adwiii/UBX/color|DeepSkyBlue}} You are using a forward slash ( / ) instead of a pipe ( | ). I eill work on the other color UBXs too. Adwiii Talk 22:17, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I kept on forgeting. Well, thanks for your help and what about the don't like and hate colour UBXs? Adam mugliston Talk 22:20, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

I have created both of them at User:Adwiii/UBX/colorhate and User:Adwiii/UBX/colornolike. hope you enjoy them, Adwiii Talk 22:24, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

		The Special Barnstar
		For all the great userboxes you made for me!!! _{Please note: This barnstar may be changed, if I can get someone to make a UBX barnstar.} Adam mugliston Talk 22:33, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, there isnt a UBX barnstar the closest i can find is the Graphic design Barnstar or the special one. Anyway thanks Adam, Adwiii Talk 22:49, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi Adwiii, I was thinking if it would be possible to make a UBX, that said 'This user thinks route (parameter) is one of the best bus routes in London', but when you type in a route, the picture changes to a picture of that route? Adam mugliston Talk 16:53, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

I assume you want like a map of the route? I am not sure if I can make this happen but I will try, Adwiii Talk 23:52, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Could you possibly find an example of one of the pictures you had in mind. Thanks, Adwiii Talk 23:55, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

No, I meant a picture of a bus on the route. See Articulated buses in London, there's a couple there. Adam mugliston Talk 06:29, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Hows this,

This user thinks that London's bus route #18 is the best.

{{User:Adwiii/UBX/busroute}}

This user thinks that London's bus route #12 is the best.

Right now routes 12, 33, 337, 493, 190, 112, 143, (326 A), 394, (7 A), 171, (59 A), (68 A), 211, 36, 436, 360, 316, 19, 303, 204, 21, 141, 111, H32, 110, H98, 70, 162, 163, 93, ELS, H12, 376, 58, 297, 182, 15, 333, 57, 296, 394, R68, C1, 95, 177, 291, 386, 96, G1, and 18 work
This is as many as I know that work there may be others that work but I do not know. Sorry for the spotty coverage of routes, but that is the best I can do given UBX parameter options. Hope you like it, Adwiii Talk 11:06, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

That's great, thanks. How did you work out what routes are available? I'm pretty sure 11, 23 and 73 would work. Adam mugliston Talk 06:48, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Well i used the File:London Bus route ___. jpg pictures, however not all of the bus routes are available under this format. Adwiii Talk 11:27, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

DYK for G. L. Pridgen

On 5 May 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article G. L. Pridgen, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that G. L. Pridgen, a Republican member of the North Carolina House of Representatives, supports a bill requiring a referendum on English being his state’s official language? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

List of bus routes in Colchester colour

Hi Adwiii, there's a problem with the colour underlining. It's black. When I tried to make it back into colour the text also changed. Do you think you can fix it? Adam mugliston Talk 17:36, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

That's fine. Thanks Adwiii. It's weird, that on my laptop the colourof the underline doesn't come up... Adam mugliston Talk 07:12, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

@Adam: different browsers do behave differently for coloured underlining. Try this - hover your mouse over either the "Red" or the "rose64" in my signature and note which characters get underlined. When I do this in Internet Explorer (6 or 7), Opera or Google Chrome, all nine characters get underlined; but when I try it in Firefox or Safari, only the characters "rose64" are underlined, whereas the "Red" isn't. I think that Adwiii is a Firefox user, because at the top of the page the " Adwiii " shows up with round ends in Firefox, but square ends in IE, Chrome, Opera and Safari.

@Adwiii: I've seen what you have done for the colouring on List of bus routes in Colchester and I think it's a big improvement over what was there previously. The fact that the text is now all in the "normal" colouring (black on white, or near enough) certainly satisfies the accessibility issues. One small point: the coloured rectangles are a bit "in your face" - could they be smaller perhaps?

How do you feel about taking on the other bus-related pages in Category:Articles overusing colours? --Redrose64 (talk) 12:21, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Haha, yes indeed you are right. That is one of the only reasons I use FireFox, it makes my pages look better (everyone else says chrome is better but indeed it is not). And yes I will look into the other over colored pages and try to fix the sizing in this one. Adwiii Talk 21:06, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

So right about Firefox. It is so much better! Adam mugliston Talk 06:23, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Demiurge, I plan on continuing on through the rest of the Bus route pages too, although it may take me some time (wikitables are hard!). Thanks for the *, Adwiii Talk 00:19, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello, I recently made a WikiFauna page for the WikiPuma. I am not gifted at userboxes, so I would greatly enjoy it if you could make one for the page.

Speedy deletion nomination of BTD (disambiguation)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on BTD (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Atterion(Talk|Contribs) 18:10, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

GOCE May mid-drive newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors May 2012 backlog elimination drive mid-drive newsletter

Participation: Out of 49 people signed up for this drive so far, 26 have copy-edited at least one article. It's a smaller group than last drive, but we're making good progress. If you've signed up but haven't yet copy-edited any articles, please consider doing so. Every bit helps! If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us!

Progress report: We're on track to meet our targets for the drive, largely due to the efforts of Lfstevens and the others on the leaderboard. Thanks to all. We have reduced our target group of articles—January, February, and March 2011—by over half, and it looks like we will achieve that goal. Good progress is being made on the overall backlog as well, with over 500 articles copy-edited during the drive so far. The total backlog currently sits at around 3200 articles.

Hall of Fame: GOCE coordinator Diannaa was awarded a spot in the GOCE Hall of Fame this month! She has copy-edited over 1567 articles during these drives, and surpassed the 1,000,000-word mark on May 5. On to the second million! – Your drive coordinators: Dank, Diannaa and Stfg

Seasonal oversight: We had a slight fall from grace in the title of our last newletter, which mentioned the season in the northern hemisphere and thus got it wrong for the southern. Fortunately an observant GOCE member was ready to spring into action to advise us. Thanks! In future we'll stay meteorologically neutral.

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot’s recommendations. 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 in the consent information sheet.

We have added information about the opportunity to make substantial valuable contributions to an article using a Low/Medium/High scale which goes from Low to High . The score is calculated by combining an article's readership and quality.

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

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?

GOCE July 2013 news report

Guild of Copy Editors July 2013 backlog elimination drive mid-drive newsletter

Participation: Out of 30 people who have signed up for this drive so far, 18 have participated. If you have signed up for the drive but have not yet participated, it isn't too late. If you haven't signed up for the drive, sign up now!

Progress report: Thus far we have reduced the number of May/June 2012 articles to just 124 articles, so we're on the right track. Unfortunately, for the first time in GOCE history, the number of articles in the backlog has actually gone up during this drive. While all participants are currently doing a fine job, we just don't have as many of them as we have had in the past. We have over 500 editors on our mailing list, but only 18 editors who have done a copy edit for the drive. If you're receiving this newsletter, it's because you have an interest in copy editing. Join the drive! Even if you only copy edit one article, it helps. Imagine how much progress we could make if everyone chipped in just one article.

– Your drive coordinators: Torchiest, Baffle gab1978, Jonesey95, and The Utahraptor.
