Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
[edit]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) 19:54, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
Welcome
[edit]Hi there, just read your message on my talk page. Just to clear up the sock puppet comment, no editor accused you or any of the other accounts as being sock puppets. I would never make an accusation like that, because that's not the way we do things around here. Evidence would be needed. However, it seemed pretty strange that all of a sudden there were so many new users editing the same articles, making the same kinds of edits that we wondered if there was a posibility that one user could have been editing with numerous accounts, or if a group of people could be working together to add as much positive info into certain articles as they could. (Stuff like that happens quite a bit, so don't be surprised if others feel the same way also)
As far as the edits you made, I think the only one I even noticed was your first edit. I will say this, wikipedia is supposed to be neutral, so using the articles to take shots as other parties or governments is usually not tolerated. You added something positive about the subject, but in the same statement worded it to also attack the federal government, which has nothing to do with an article on Darrell Dexter. No big deal, I guess as it was your first edit and as a beginner probably didn't think you were doing anything wrong.
I suggest you take a look at some of the main policies and guidelines on editing and style before you get too deep into editing. Trust me when I say wikipedia is a learning process, I've been editing for more than two years and still run into problems. Anyways, I hope you stick around and keep editing. If you need any help or advice, just leave a message on my talk page, as I'm more than willing to help. Cmr08 (talk) 02:59, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
I would like to work on this page, and will use the outline for Dexter that you provided. Write on my talk page if you still want to take this one instead. CameraCameron (talk) 20:13, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
New 10,000 Challenge for Canada
[edit]Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada/The 10,000 Challenge is up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge for the UK which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. If you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Canada like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1600 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for Canada but fuelled by a contest such as The North America Destubathon to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. I would like some support from Canadian wikipedians here to get the Challenge off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile! Cheers. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:55, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
