You might already know this, but reporting at WP:AIV usually gives quick results when it's repeat vandalism and harassment like that. First Light (talk) 19:00, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

You have made a huge mistake. Macedonia is a location in Greece and that name belongs only there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.92.131.230 (talk) 23:08, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

You obviously don't know about citing sources (see wp:v and Help:Citing sources) MadGuy7023 (talk) 23:13, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Madguy why did you undo that revision in the 21st century artical ? your messing up the Chronology of the Prinited future of the 21st century in books and other printed media. Aurtur c clarks books began before thos other events and events with out known year begin first in chronology. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.244.151.164 (talk) 14:22, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Because you did not give a reason for why you reverted the administrator's edit. Besides, it actually says to give a reason in the edit summary when you revert an edit. You obviously did not, which was why your edit got reverted. MadGuy7023 (talk) 14:31, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Recent vandalism

Hi,

I know who vandalized Hanley Castle

I just reverted the page myself. I hate reporting the college I study at, but if it involves protecting WP, then I have little choice.

I'll be notifying college admin shortly.

Usual people in life (talk) 13:08, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks

for this - I don't know why, but my attempted revert reverted twice. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:16, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

No problem :) MadGuy7023 (talk) 14:17, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

I really wouldn't bother reverting him further until after he's had his talk page access revoked - all it's really doing is giving him the attention he seeks. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:41, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Hang on... aren't you an administrator yourself? After all, you did decline both their unblock requests. MadGuy7023 (talk) 14:44, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

I was, but I've handed in my mop - haven't decided whether it's temporary or permanent. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:51, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Rebecca Adlington

I had a message from you saying that I'd removed information on Rebecca Adlington without explaining why. Although I do occasionaly edit or supply things on/to wikipedia (and I must say, not very frequently), as I've never even heard of Rebecca Adlington, I can guarantee you that I did not do this. Out of interest, my last edit was to add some Eric Clapton instrumentals to the list of rock instrumentals, and I'm sure I would have done so by logging in (which is my usual way of altering content).

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?

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 Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!
