Michael Q. Schmidt talkback is wishing you Season's Greetings! This message celebrates the holiday season, promotes WikiLove, and hopefully makes your day a little better. Spread the seasonal good cheer by wishing another user a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past, a good friend, or just some random person. Share the good feelings. - MQS

Number one, great WP:HEY work here. Number two, "Guitarist" is not a valid field for {{infobox musical artist}}. You wanted non_vocal_instrumentalist, which I've changed it to. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 00:35, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

February 2013 disambig contest.

[edit]

Greetings! I'm giving a prize of up to a hundred dollars to the winner of the February 2013 disambiguation contest, and lesser prizes to the rest of the top four. Of course, the conditions of the contest will make it quite a challenge to win the full amount, but I hope to stimulate competitiveness with a little extra incentive. Cheers! bd2412 T 21:08, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I did a speedy delete of the page as it was very similar to the previous two deleted pages. Next time, you might want to try to do request a speedy delete in this type of case. However, hopefully you won't come across this type of case again. I also did a sockpuppet report at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Horizontal Law. Bgwhite (talk) 07:48, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

They found 12 other confirmed sockpuppets. Egads. Bgwhite (talk) 23:06, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Article Rescue Barnstar
Nice work in copy editing the Critter Country and adding sources, which appears very likely to have rescued the article from deletion. Cheers, Northamerica1000(talk) 10:27, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hotel Ritz

[edit]

Hi Gongshow - I've cleared the dab pages for Hotel Ritz from Pooky Quesnel to the end of the list. I see our efforts have resulted in our meeting in the middle! PKT(alk) 17:04, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

How are things up there in Canada?

[edit]

Hi. please tell me, I really want to know, why it is you believe that what other people refer to as an iron lung is what you refer to as an iron lung? Thought I would ask before going and undoing all your changes. Thanks in advance, Eddaido (talk) 03:39, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Eddaido - things are fine here, thanks for asking! I appreciate your making Iron Lung a disambiguation page; I agree with your reasoning for doing so. As I was going through articles that still linked to the Dab page, it seemed that negative pressure ventilator was the intended target (Tank respirator, Drinker respirator, and Emerson iron lung all go back to that page), but I'm certainly open to other interpretations and would be happy to collaborate with you. Cheers, Gong show 03:57, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
Mind if we stick with one page? I don't know enough about this subject except to see that everything is funnelled to one point, Negative pressure ventilator, which article I think does not give a balanced view and that is why I added the Globalize template there. Hence I was very upset to see what you have done! I think my concern was for readers to be able to see that whatever machine saved their life was not necessarily dreamed up, designed or made in Massachusetts (or Virginia). Are you a medical professional? Can you suggest a solution? Eddaido (talk) 04:11, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not a medical professional, but I share your desire to strive for a global perspective. For example, I think the Negative pressure ventilator article would greatly benefit by including information on the Both respirator, an Australian invention for which there appears to be evidence that it too has been referred to as an "iron lung". Currently, the Both respirator is only mentioned under the "See also" section; I propose merging the entire article (or at least the key points) into Negative pressure ventilator. I would also suggest expanding the "Invention and early use" section to include information on John Mayow (England), who is credited for coming up with idea of "external negative pressure ventilation" in 1670. What do you think?  Gong show 05:04, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
In my sandbox, I've developed a test page of what I described above - incorporating the Both (Both-Nuffield) respirator into the main "Negative pressure ventilator" article. Compared to the current article, I think this updated version helps address the worldview concerns. Your feedback would be appreciated.  Gong show 06:54, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Without any real knowledge I think what you have in your sandbox looks really good, a vast improvement. I look forward to seeing the article amended to fit. Many thanks Gongshow, Eddaido (talk) 00:32, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
And thank you for bringing the article's worldview issue to my attention. I'll get to updating the article shortly. Cheers,  Gong show 03:20, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jonathan Strietzel, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Live performance (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Changes to SuggestBot's suggestions

[edit]

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?
