Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

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

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 Misplaced Pages better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 19:58, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: Territorial Support Group

It's a statement that has to supported as per any other. Using other cases in the article to support 'often' would be WP:OR. Oh, and that wasn't proprganda, what tosh. Feel free to re-insert it! ninety:one 20:13, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Rival Brand

You tagged the article Rival Brand for proposed deletion, with the concern "No notability asserted-speedy declined but ""rival brand" clothing columbus" produces no relevant google news stories." However, the article already has a reference from a magazine. -- Eastmain (talk) 18:55, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

gang help

Smartse I get it. I get it. I understand the COI, etc. I am not trying to force my will on anyone. I did not know the "rules" when I undid the removals. But I quickly saw how this place operates. There is no need to request your assistance.Stevonmfl (talk) 01:54, 1 May 2009 (UTC) Stevonmfl (talk) 01:54, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Linda Maguire

I don't know if she's notable. She says that she had a 23-year career, but she gives no details of what roles she sang with which companies at which houses, no dates for the bulk of these roles, and no references for verification. You could either AFD the article (I'd support deletion), or you could leave a note on the talk page of the Opera project and see if anyone there wants to get involved. -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:09, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

She hasn't come back to add any refs, I see. -- Ssilvers (talk) 00:08, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Feature Model

Hi, It looks as the discussion on Misplaced Pages:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#Feature_model is not evolving nor there's been any evidence of COI so I suggest we close it.Mikolasj (talk) 14:58, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Corrib Gas MedCab

Hi, thought you might be interested to know that MedCab has opened on some of the issues I brought up on the COIN noticeboard. GainLine _♥ 23:26, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

The Ten Commandments: The Musical

Hi, you have undone the work of previous editors who have cleaned up this article. I have therefore reverted your edits. Smartse (talk) 19:24, 12 May 2009 (UTC) REPLY: Hi, we have received the authorization to publish this information. It has been approved by Misplaced Pages by the following tickets: Re: PERMISSIONS TO USE THE MATERIALfor page THE TEN COMMANDMENTS THE MUSICAL Therefore, we would appreciate if you could revert the edits in particular the reference information as it was noted in the headline that additional references were needed. In the future, it would be great if you could check with the person entering the information prior to deleting information. The process is quite difficult without having unfounded interferences.

Smartse: How do I message a user? Bill Mohler

I've searched Hi and Lo for a way to contact you and other authors directly, to announce the conference more intimately, but I can't find a tool for directly messaging. Hence the "spam" post. Any advice? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wmohler (talk • contribs) 13:56, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

RE industrial Mixers

Hello Smartse,

Firstly, I've gone through the page and corrected all of the grammar and spelling mistakes someone else has made, with no thanks or mention, which you have undone.

Secondly, Yes were as I am loosely related to Perry process and it could be 'seen' as an attempt to drive more traffic, but you have just removed information which is relevant and proper for Misplaced Pages. This is not right and it s not on, dont cut your nose off to spite your face! Don't destroy a good edit because you think a link might be driven be marketing, thats just foolish.

Thirdly, I would care to disagree that Perry Process is not a legitimate source of information about process equipment, and by default mixers, as they have 73 years of experience in the technology, implementation and information around. Perry process and the author (the MD) in particular are generally regarded as trustworthy or authoritative in relation to the subject at hand, owning to the international reputation and scale of business and the high regard they are held in.

Fourthly, please dont mention this "will not be tolerated and may lead to your account being blocked if you continue" when you have not had any prior communication with me personally it just plain rude you talk to someone to know there story first.

Fifthly, Who is who are they? They dont appear to be adding anything to this topic? especially over and beyond what I added which was of higher quality and interest? I see the images are lifted from there website but they are clearly a commercial entity wishing to promote themselves. I dont want to waste my time to check if you are related to them, and to be frank im not bothered if you are. I want good/relevant content on the page and also to see people rewarded for it. So if you dont mind I will re-edit the page, add the content which is reliable and trust worth and which adds value to the page, I will not wage a war with the person who has a link on there already and I will make the page better.

I will hold leave you time to respond before I make any edits out of common decency. I apologise if this seems like a rant I am just sick and tired of people getting so jumpy around Misplaced Pages, I understand all you want to keep the content good. All I want to do is add good content to it and source the rightful person. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dancave (talk • contribs) 10:49, May 18, 2009

Fertilizer article

Thanks for the input! I was not sure how much is too much. There are a lot of factual statements in the article that will require citations, it seems that this article is a magnet for unsourced statements, or is really old and doesn't get much turnover. I have made effort to add many citations on the article in order to add to verifiability of content. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Apothecia (talk • contribs) 20:58, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Sharing of account

Hi Smartse, you are never a pain to us. We thank you and welcome you to give us feedback and comments that you may have pertaining to our Wiki entries.

We quoted "we" is not because we are sharing an account (there is no need to do so, it is free to create one in Wiki), but rather all our entries and comments are a conscious decision and discussion as a group and from a group of volunteers, so when we said "we", it is representing the group as a whole and not from an individual.

Thank you for reminding us this policies and we thank you also for assisting us to resolve a wiki dispute.

Your suggestions

Many thanks for your comments and offer to help- — I need it. Lots to learn to conform to both coding, style, and policies. Presently, my User:Cytowic page is inexplicable blank, and clicking "edit this page" brings up Cytowic:talk. So how do I create a user page? I'm intending to use the generic User-multi error: no username detected (help). and boxboxtop templates.

Regarding COI, I'm following User:Scarpy's guidance to make suggestions and cite third-party references only on talk pages to let regular Misplaced Pages editors use on article pages. Will provide further notes on notability. Offhand, I'd say having Nabokov's afterword, synesthesia's skyrocketing interest among researchers, the book being first to cover all varieties of synesthesia and it's chapter on art and creativity make it notable.
