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!

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 13:29, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

ok

so in this case what's the source for movies, if not IMDB and seeing the movie by yourself?!? --Vlad|-> 17:05, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Seeing the movie myself (which I've done) would constitute original research in any case. You might try looking for other films listing uncredited roles to see what sources they've utilized. You could also ask at WT:FILM. Good hunting! DonIago (talk) 17:09, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
Well, sometimes I loathe what wikipedia has become: so seeing the movie, which IS the SOURCE ITSELF is original research?!? R u serious?!? --Vlad|-> 17:20, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
Yes. Consider the implications of allowing anyone to write anything into any article they liked solely on the claim of "I saw it and know it's true". I may see the movie and think that John Doe played Jim Everyman in a film, but if he's not credited as such then I can't verify the information, which is an issue. DonIago (talk) 17:25, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
Ok then, let me put it otherwise: what's the source of ALL the actors BESIDES Harisson Ford, that they really played in the movie? And how are we to deal with precisely UNCREDITED actors?!? --Vlad|-> 17:29, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
If they're credited then the film itself is a sufficient source. If they're not credited then a source should be provided. DonIago (talk) 18:18, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Reversion of edit in Shakespeare In Love

Hi,

I see that you reverted an edit of mine, because it was "not relevant". In mentioning a movie's rating in Rotten Tomatoes, I have noticed it's pretty common to mention how the rating is described (whether it's "rotten" or "fresh" or "certified fresh" etc.). I am not sure why it's irrelevant in this case. You also mentioned that we should avoid parentheticals, but avoid doesn't mean "never use" and in any case, that be fixed by using commas instead.

I didn't undo your reversion. I'm just trying to understand your thoughts in reverting it in the first place.

Thanks! Curious georgianna (talk) 13:39, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

I don't think the exact wording RT gives the rating matters...what matters is the score. I'm not waging a campaign to have the wording removed or such, but much like adding cast names to Plot sections when there's already a Cast section, it's something I don't think improves the article, so I tend to revert if I see it being added. Might be worth asking this question at WT:FILM though.
As for the parentheticals, that was definitely another issue I had with your change. Commas would be a much better way of handling such things, as discussed at WP:TONE.
Hope this helps, and thanks for coming to me with your concern! DonIago (talk) 14:11, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Reversion of edit in Fenugreek

Subject Fenugreek and your comment dated 23 February 2016 First, thank you for commenting and providing a link for "talkback". Second, I hope I'm responding properly. I've never done this before and I could find no instructions as to proper response procedure.

On to the "meat" of the matter. In inserting the Arabic for fenugreek, I relied on (a) my having studied the language, and (b) two dictionaries, including Google look-ups (in both directions for all words) to confirm my insertion. I was under the impression that dictionary sources were not normally cited in Wikipedia articles, so I omitted it. My only concern is that the insertion is simply MSA (Modern Standard Arablic). Verifying "fenugreek" in individual national/regional dialects would require _extensive_ international research, something that is not only beyond my financial means but would be somewhat dangerous in certain places. :) Kromholz (talk) 23:05, 7 March 2016 (UTC)kromholz

Hi Kromholz, thanks for getting in touch. I normally prefer that if a discussion is related to article content that the discussion occur at the pertinent article's Talk page, but you're fine. :)
Because we're talking about a non-English word here, I think it would be best to include a citation so that other readers can verify the Arabic if they wish to. As far as the additional research goes, I'd be way out of my depth on that, but it might be worth starting a conversation at the article Talk page to see whether anyone's willing to assist. Alternately, if there's an Arabic Wikipedia (and you can read it), perhaps useful sources and info could be found there?
Anyway, thanks for getting in touch, and please let me know if you have additional concerns! DonIago (talk) 04:08, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Theremin Page

I appreciate you seem to think yourself a curator of this page, but do you, personally, have any experience of the subject? I think not, because if you did, you'd have met the deficiency. I do, I'm building an Arduino subvariant to be able to use it as a MIDI controller at the moment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ‎90.197.29.143 (talk)

Hello D. I hope that you are well. I too the liberty of moving this from your user page to the proper spot here. MarnetteD|Talk 18:43, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
Thanks Marnette. IP, Wikipedia has verifiability requirements for information posted to articles. Especially when information has been previously challenged, it is considered appropriate to remove it from the article until such time as sourcing has been provided. As discussed at WP:BURDEN, you are welcome to re-add the material, but you should include appropriate references when you do so. Whether one has personal experience with a subject is immaterial, as Wikipedia editors are not reliable sources. DonIago (talk) 16:24, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

American space opera films

I added Star Wars to that category, but perviously I added space opera films to star wars. Should I remove the general space opera category from Star Wars? Anyways it's not a big deal...I was just looking for a second opinion, but it doesn't really matter.--Taeyebaar (talk) 01:49, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

I think Star Wars should be in American space operas, which will automatically put it in general Space operas... Space operas shouldn't be in Star Wars, as you always put the more specific category in the more general category. Cheers. DonIago (talk) 01:56, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
