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. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Misplaced Pages better — thanks for helping!

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 01:50, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

I have replied, indicating my unwillingness to carry on the conversation via email and advised the user to discuss it on-wiki instead, if needed. Snowolf 20:48, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

@Kevin Gorman: I have noticed that you have chosen to ignore my request not to carry on this conversation via email and have sent me a new email. I have left this email unopened and any relevant communication with wish to hold with me should be copied over here. Kind regards, Snowolf 21:01, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Snowolf: please correct the false statement you left on my userpage that said that I had rejected repeated requests to not contact you off-wiki. You asked me once. I replied to that request politely explaining why I had initially contacted you off-wiki, and saying that an on-wiki post was imminent. Kevin Gorman (talk) 23:01, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
