You have received these suggestions because we are currently running a study to see if SuggestBot is helpful for newly registered Wikipedia editors. Normally SuggestBot only makes suggestions for users who ask for them explicitly on the SuggestBot request page. We will not post suggestions on your talk page again unless you ask for them. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find a complete consent form with contact information on the SuggestBot Study page.

SuggestBot picks the articles you might be interested in based on the articles you've edited and using a number of different techniques: following links from them to other articles, matching articles based on their content, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedia users. It tries to recommend only articles that others have marked as needing work, such as stub articles that need to be made longer, clean-up articles that need writing help, and so on. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you choose to participate we encourage you to leave feedback on these suggestions, which you can most easily do here by editing your user talk page. We'll stop by later to read them.

Regards, Nettrom (talk), project researcher and SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 16:29, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

2010 Summer Youth Olympics medal table

Hi, I just saw your edit summary on 2010 Summer Youth Olympics medal table, notice that we had a shared gold medal in Swimming --Mohsen1248 (talk) 13:26, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, thank you! I took a copy of the table a few minutes prior to the correction. Looks good now. You are doing a great job keeping it up to date! Cheers.

2010 summer youth olympics

hey,

i just saw that you write surnames before forenames. why do you do that? Your the only one here. Read here for further informations. -- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 08:10, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi friend, I have made many updates on the 2010 Youth Olympics and created many pages, and I have not come across your edits. There are some times when I have done this to keep this consistent with the page, i.e. South Korea. If I have done it inadvertently, please accept my apology. I know I had done the Ukraine one incorrectly, as this was one of the first ones I did. Most of the other times, no one else has bothered to put the athlete names up, so if you see how much I have contributed, you will see that I have spent a lot of time on this. If you can show me other cases, that would be great. Thanks! GreenB.live (talk) 09:09, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, looking at your trail, you are talking about the South Korean page... I am just following the convention there, I did not start this page; the Koreans prefer their family name first. This is true of most of people of Asia, see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Chinese). If you feel this is problematic, you can raise it in the Talk section of the page; however, it is consistent with how the names of other Asian nation competitors have been in the past Wiki Olympic articles. I hope this answer clears it up! Enjoy your editing. GreenB.live (talk) 09:17, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

no problem mate. :D-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 09:29, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Or just remember, in Asian countries, it is typically the family before the individual. So just apply this knowledge accordingly :D ANGCHENRUI ^Talk ♨ 11:00, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Active page creator

Hi GreenB.live,

Thanks for your contributions. If you're likely to be creating more articles, please consider requesting the 'autopatroller' status at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Autopatrolled. There's no need to bother with it (now) if you're not going to be creating more articles (any time soon); it just takes your new pages off the list of new pages that need to be checked for vandalism.

Here, have some tea

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Invitation to the African Destubathon

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

New Challenge for Oceania and Australia

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest!
