Exclusion of numbers is less informative: Sitush is white-washing the article. In Wikipedia the more information one article has the better. Numbers put perspective into things. "Many" is an imprecise word. We don't add imprecise things deliberately. Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 16:24, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Kings XI Punjab cricketers, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page David Miller (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.

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
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?

WikiProject Good Articles Recruitment Centre
 So for those who haven't heard about the Recruitment Centre yet, you may be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around it (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers:
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along. A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.--Dom497 (talk) This message was sent out by --EdwardsBot (talk) 15:08, 9 June 2013 (UTC) |
The article Sanskrit Wikipedia has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Non-notable version of Wikipedia: the article either includes only non-independent and self-published sources (especially Wikipedia itself), or has no sources at all.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. eh bien mon prince (talk) 00:34, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

RE:Bow Tie Cigar
I don't think you were off the mark with your first response to Prpiranha. I think he is probably a PR agent, not the owner of the company. I have explained exhaustively to him the issues and he keeps resubmitting the article for review without addressing them. Doesn't seem to want to understand notability, even though he states he has "read the applicable policies". I've been here a year and a half, and I still haven't read all the applicable policies. He's been here two days. Gtwfan52 (talk) 06:03, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Paid editing
I am curious about this claim that you made earlier today. Which contributors in the topic area are being paid to edit? Where is your evidence? - Sitush (talk) 12:02, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
- You've also (I think) made this claim earlier (here). Paid editors are expected to identify themselves and not edit directly in areas where they are being compensated monetarily. You should indicate which editors you believe are paid editors (along with your evidence). --regentspark (comment) 13:49, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

- You don't need to teach me grammar, thanks. What was the point of your comment? All I can see is a snide insinuation but I'm willing to let you explain and thus avoid potential sanctions. For example, were you referring to me or RegentsPark? Would you care to give your translation? Etc. - Sitush (talk) 15:56, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
- Ignore DD Sitush. For some obscure reason he has morphed into a wise cracking editor who prefers to make snide comments rather than work constructively with other editors. I much preferred the original AnimeshKulkarni, but we can't have everything. --regentspark (comment) 16:11, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

I have not seen RegentsPark questioning Maunus when similar accusations were made against other users – [1]. Your selective attentiveness to these claims is disturbing. — Nearly Headless Nick {c} 09:09, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
- Let me clarify all this. My comment was NOT about Sitush. He is a well based editor. I was referring to some new editors and their knowledge of the policies was a little surprising in newbies. Also their edits were pro-congress on articles like Digvijay Singh, and anti-BJP on Narendra Modi. Since I have got no proof, I won't like to mention has editor's name. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ Talk Email 15:47, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clarification Vaibhav. Still, you want to be careful about paid editor (or other) insinuations. Perhaps the editors merely have a pov or they are editing in good faith (hard to tell when the number of edits is low). Always best to hold your suspicions close to your chest until you have sufficient evidence to back them up. --regentspark (comment) 19:33, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

WikiCup 2013 June newsletter
We are down to our final 16: the 2013 semi-finals are upon us. A score of 321 was required to survive round 3, further cementing this as the most competitive WikiCup yet; round 3 was survived in 2012 with 243 points, in 2011 with 76 points and in 2010 with 250 points. The change may in part be to do with the fact that more articles are now awarded bonus points, in addition to more competitive play. Reaching the final has, in the past, required 573 points (2012, a 135% increase on the score needed to reach round 4), 150 points (2011, a 97% increase) and 417 points (2010, a 72% increase). This round has seen over a third of participants claiming points for featured articles (with seven users claiming for multiple featured articles) and most users have also gained bonus points. However, the majority of points continue to come from good articles, followed by did you know articles. In this round, every content type was utilised by at least one user, proving that the WikiCup brings together content contributors from all corners of the project.
Round 3 saw a number of contributions of note. 
Figureskatingfan (submissions) claimed the first featured topic points in this year's competition for her excellent work on topics related to Maya Angelou, the noted American author and poet. We have also continued to see high-importance articles improved as part of the competition: 
Ealdgyth (submissions) was awarded a thoroughly well-earned 560 points for her featured article Middle Ages and 102 points for her good article Battle of Hastings. Good articles James Chadwick and Stanislaw Ulam netted 
Hawkeye7 (submissions) 102 and 72 points respectively, while 72 points were awarded to 
Piotrus (submissions) for each of Władysław Sikorski and Emilia Plater, both recently promoted to good article status. Collaborative efforts between WikiCup participants have continued, with, for example, 
Casliber (submissions) and 
Sasata (submissions) being awarded 180 points each for their featured article on Boletus luridus.
A rules reminder: content promoted between rounds can be claimed in the round after the break, but not the round before. The case in point is content promoted on the 29/30 June, which may be claimed in this round. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. We are currently seeing concern about the amount of time people have to wait for reviews, especially at GAC- if you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

On this article, there is a list of uncapped players. What does "uncapped" mean? A player who actually didn't play? Could that be clarified in the article? Maybe its a common word in cricket lingo. I am fully unaware of it and hence thought of asking here instead of tagging it on the article. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 11:12, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
- Uncapped refers to any player who has been a part of the squad but did not played any match. It can also refer to someone who has not represented his country at international level. Therefore to avoid confusion I have already explained this in the third para of the lead. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ Talk Email 11:24, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
- Okay! Thanks. I missed that line. Was looking only in the key section. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 03:34, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
