We'd like to invite you to participate in a user study closely related to SuggestBot. User:Another Article is seeking to understand more about the workflow and time commitment of contributors to the English Wikipedia. As part of this study you will occasionally be prompted to answer questions about your editing activity, and these questions should never take more than a minute or two to complete. The intended length of the study is two weeks, but your actual time commitment is totally up to you. If you would like to see more details you can read the project proposal at Research:Measuring editor time commitment and workflow (on meta), but if you are feeling bold and would like just like to sign up right now you can add the line importScript("User:Another_Article/workflowstudyclient.js");
to your common.js
. Contact User:Another Article if you have any questions about this study!
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. For more information about the columns and categories, please consult the documentation and please get in touch on SuggestBot's talk page with any questions you might have.
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!

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Pete Frates is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pete Frates until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. KATMAKROFAN (talk) 23:34, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed a lot of revisions on David Ortiz pertaining to his final MLB appearance date. I spent a lot of time searching through Infobox templates and MoS's, but I couldn't find anything pertaining to the last MLB appearance being regular season (in my opinion, since I can't find anything saying otherwise, final MLB appearance would be just that, the final appearance, regular or postseason included). Do you happen to know where this information is so I can make sure I get it right? Thanks, Garchy (talk) 15:53, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
Reminder that Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016 is under WP:1RR. I was going to revert that editor. Might want to self revert and let me revert it. EvergreenFir (talk) 17:37, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
On 19 October 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article David Kustoff, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that as a United States Attorney, David Kustoff prosecuted John Ford following his arrest in Operation Tennessee Waltz? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/David Kustoff. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, David Kustoff), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

![]() Greetings, all! We would like to announce the start of the 4th GA Cup, a competition that seeks to encourage the reviewing of Good article nominations! Thus far, there have been three GA Cups, which were successful in reaching our goals of significantly reducing the traditionally long queue at GAN, so we're doing it again. Currently, there are over 400 nominations listed. We hope that we can again make an impact this time. The 4th GA Cup will begin on November 1, 2016. Four rounds are currently scheduled (which will bring the competition to a close on February 28, 2017), but this may change based on participant numbers. We may take a break in December for the holidays, depending on the results of a poll of our participants taken shortly after the competition begins. The sign-up and submissions process will remain the same, as will the scoring. Sign-ups for the upcoming competition are currently open and will close on November 14, 2016. Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors, so sign-up now! If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ page and/or contact one of the judges. Cheers from 3family6, Figureskatingfan, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase. We apologize for the delay in sending out this message until after the competition has started. Thank you to Krishna Chaitanya Velaga for aiding in getting this message out. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletters, please add or remove your name to our mailing list.

Regarding this, WP:TPO says Because threads are shared by multiple editors (regardless how many have posted so far), no one, including the original poster, "owns" a talk page discussion or its heading. It is generally acceptable to change headings when a better heading is appropriate, e.g., one more descriptive of the content of the discussion or the issue discussed, less one-sided, more appropriate for accessibility reasons, etc.

Hi there,
I pointed to the talk page [archive] in my Khizr and Ghazala Khan revert edit summary, but it's probably simpler to just leave a message since it's not like there was an RfC or somesuch. Basically, my position is that living in the United States (or even being born in the United States) doesn't equate to the "strong national ties" mentioned in WP:DATERET. My own preference, especially for references, is dmy (aside: I'm an American who prefers dmy for its efficiency, less one comma, and the aesthetics of two numbers separated by a word), hence why the article started with dmy. The question of what constitutes "strong national ties" is not one that has clear answers, as far as I can tell, but it's true that with the subject's involvement in the U.S. political process, there's a decent case to be made. So I've become a bit more sympathetic to thet argument since the last time it came up (likely in part due to the article becoming less heated). Perhaps there's a compromise to be made whereby the citations use dmy but the text uses mdy? That seems like it may be contrary to the MOS emphasis on consistency, but meh. What are your thoughts on the "strong national ties" question? — Rhododendrites talk \\ 22:54, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

There will be two options for what we will do next in terms of Round 2 depending on the results of this poll.

We may have to keep an eye on Bill Walker (American politician), as an editor keeps removing the 11th per argument that Walker is the 13th governor. The person is apparently not realizing that Alaska numbers its governors via individual only & thus doesn't multiple number governors who serve non-consecutive terms.

@Muboshgu: I did not change his page until the MLB had announced that he was "officially signed".
He was signed onto the Boston Red Sox a few hours before the edit war. Please don't revert it again, I'm adding better sources than the last few edits. Adotchar| reply here 22:10, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi, Muboshgu! Yes, I see your referral to AIV. I have been keeping an eye on this user and my opinion has been that this is not deliberate vandalism on their part, just failure to understand what they are doing wrong. In fact it has not been obvious to an outside observer what the problem is. I was just in the process of composing a note to you, saying it would be helpful to patrolling admins if you would use edit summaries when you revert someone like this, where it is not obvious vandalism - as you did with your most recent summary, "copyrighted image". That was what inspired me to post my warning, and I see that since then they have self-reverted a few of their additions. It may be that they just needed a little more education. Of course, their failure to respond to all those talk page warnings, including your specific one a day two ago, hasn't helped. --MelanieN (talk) 19:03, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Hey -- my understanding of the informal rule for baseball players is that if they haven't made it to the major leagues, they belong on a minor league page if they're noteworthy enough to have anything written up about them at all. I don't think it's contingent upon the number of references; Derek Eitel, Bryan Harper, and Andrew Stevenson all have a similar number of references to Kyle McGowin. Of course we would break out a separate page if he reaches the major league level, but for now, I think it makes far more sense to keep him on the list with other notable Nationals minor leaguers. -Kudzu1 (talk) 07:17, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
I have removed the {{prod}} tag from Yorman Landa, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!
I decided to do this because there recently has been new information added to the page for "Yorman Landa" since your proposal for its deletion. I felt that it was a sufficient amount of information to negate the page's deletion. Please let me know If you believe this not to be the case. GriegMachine8 (talk) 23:48, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
Sorry about that. I try to leave the sourcing up the people who know their stuff better than I, which is rarely why I write anything significant and just update templates. It is a lot easier than determining which site is an RS or not. You guys write encyclopedic baseball, I write baseball as a blog analyst, so I try to keep my focus down. For the record, I've usually waited for the official tweet from the team. Mitch32(The ripest peach is highest on the tree.) 00:21, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

Last night, I went to check Lucas Giolito's page for some reason (probably ottoneu-related) and stumbled across the VR-Giolito picture. Thank you for blessing the world with that gem. It makes me really, really happy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GraveyardHotel (talk • contribs) 20:34, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
The Editor of the Week initiative has been recognizing editors since 2013 for their hard work and dedication. Editing Wikipedia can be disheartening and tedious at times; the weekly Editor of the Week award lets its recipients know that their positive behaviour and collaborative spirit is appreciated. The response from the honorees has been enthusiastic and thankful.
The list of nominees is running short, and so new nominations are needed for consideration. Have you come across someone in your editing circle who deserves a pat on the back for improving article prose regularly, making it easier to understand? Or perhaps someone has stepped in to mediate a contentious dispute, and did an excellent job. Do you know someone who hasn't received many accolades and is deserving of greater renown? Is there an editor who does lots of little tasks well, such as cleaning up citations?
Please help us thank editors who display sustained patterns of excellence, working tirelessly in the background out of the spotlight, by submitting your nomination for Editor of the Week today!
In addition, the WikiProject is seeking a new facilitator/coordinator to handle the logistics of the award. Please contact L235 if you are interested in helping with the logistics of running the award in any capacity. Remove your name from here to unsubscribe from further EotW-related messages.
