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 Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker.

HBC AIV helperbot7
The bot removed one of my AIV reports before it had been seen by an admin. Is it malfunctioning? — Fly by Night (talk) 14:49, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
- I do not run HBC AIV helperbot7, although that looks to be maybe a once off delay with the software. — JamesR (talk) 00:30, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
- My apologies! You run HBC AIV helperbot5, don't you? I assume that they were a family of improving bots run by yourself. Sorry about that. — Fly by Night (talk) 09:29, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

- Hi Sophie, there is a place at Wikipedia:Bot requests to put your bot ideas. Coding and maintaining a bot is probably best done by someone with experience, hence this page has been setup. Sorry for the delay in response. — JamesR (talk) 08:12, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
