Article Feedback Tool update

Hey Guerillero. I'm contacting you because you're involved in the Article Feedback Tool in some way, either as a previous newsletter recipient or as an active user of the system. As you might have heard, a user recently anonymously disabled the feedback tool on 2,000 pages. We were unable to track or prevent this due to the lack of logging feature in AFT5. We're deeply sorry for this, as we know that quite a few users found the software very useful, and were using it on their articles.

We've now re-released the software, with the addition of a logging feature and restrictions on the ability to disable. Obviously, we're not going to automatically re-enable it on each article—we don't want to create a situation where it was enabled by users who have now moved on, and feedback would sit there unattended—but if you're interested in enabling it for your articles, it's pretty simple to do. Just go to the article you want to enable it on, click the "request feedback" link in the toolbox in the sidebar, and AFT5 will be enabled for that article.

Again, we're very sorry about this issue; hopefully it'll be smooth sailing after this :). If you have any questions, just drop them at the talkpage. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) 21:26, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

"——— (1970)."

You recently put "——— (1970)." into the bibliography section of Talking Union. I urge you not to use that convention, and to instead repeat the author's full name. In static works of print, using a vertical line instead of rewriting the author's name is functional, if poor looking. Wikipedia, however, is not static, and I've seen users who didn't understand what "———" meant put other items by other authors in between the "———" and the line above it, messing up the attribution. Sven Manguard Wha? 03:32, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

The authors name is in the template. --Guerillero | My Talk 03:38, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

Oh. That's clever. I hate it immensely, but it's still clever. Sven Manguard Wha? 03:42, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

GW found it not me, I didn't, and don't, see an issue with it. If push comes to shove, the harvard templates above highlight it with the correct authors name. --Guerillero | My Talk 03:46, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

Are you free next Thursday? Join us at the Wikimedia DC WikiSalon!

Wikimedia DC invites you to join us for our next WikiSalon, which will be held from 7 to 9 PM on Thursday, September 26 at our K Street office.

The WikiSalon is an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss the Wikimedia projects and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own. Light refreshments will be provided.

We look forward to seeing you there! Kirill ^[talk] 05:22, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

If you are adding Obiwan to the case, you should consider adding thie person who made this edit. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Daira_Hopwood&diff=573279147&oldid=573278730 Two kinds of pork (talk) 00:28, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

The standard way to request this would not be to ask a clerk directly but to ask on the case talk page. Nevertheless, your request has been discussed on our mailing lists and has been declined by two Arbitrators. NW (Talk) 05:38, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.

IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.

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.

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!

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) 12:07, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

DYK for Talking Union

On 28 September 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Talking Union, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that "Talking Union" was originally written as new verses of Woody Guthrie's "Talking Dust Bowl Blues"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Talking Union. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
