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. Your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 16:05, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects don't need to be fixed

Hi, Blueskiesdry. Regarding edits like this, please be aware that redirects do not need to be "fixed". Sometimes there's things we can learn from how often an adjectival phrase like free-content is used rather than the noun phrase free content, and meanwhile there's no real benefit in changing from one to the other. At best it's a cosmetic edit, which are discouraged. Let me know if you have any questions. Happy New Year and happy editing. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|she) 02:13, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When I "fixed" the redirect, it didn’t even work apparently. It still said it redirected from free-content. Is there a reason for this? blueskiesdry … (cloudy contribs…) 15:41, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Could you explain what you mean by it not working? If it took you to Free content but with the note "Redirected from Free-content", that is the redirect working as intended. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|she) 22:05, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When I piped the link it still redirected even though I know I got the title right. Blueskiesdry (talk) 22:11, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That may have been a caching issue. (I.e., when you saved the page, it actually gave you the old version from before you made the edit.) It happens sometimes. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|she) 01:02, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, OK. I got incredibly confused when that happened and was about to make a Teahouse post about it but it got reverted before I could. Blueskiesdry (talk) 01:03, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Teahouse

Hello, Try not to respond in a way unrelated to helping the newcomers, it can distract from the point. (not a big deal) Thanks, Geardona (talk to me?) 19:45, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ahem…

Talk:The United States of America (album)/GA1

Blueskiesdry, you opened this GA review on 10 June, and haven't edited on Wikipedia since. If you haven't returned to do the review by 10 August, two months after it was opened, I will be putting the nomination back into the pool of unreviewed nominations, in the hopes that it can find an active reviewer that way. Alternatively, if you are around and plan to fully conduct a review in a timely fashion, please do so right away; if you don't, please let me know and I can proceed sooner. Many thanks.
