Sorry for the intrusion, but...

Hey, Philosopher, I noticed that you were having some trouble with the CSS. I believe the problem is that you can't use the double-slash method of commenting in CSS; I think it only accepts the slash-start (/* comment */) method. I took the liberty of removing it from your CSS page; let me know if it starts working. Thanks! Writ Keeper  20:20, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks a ton! It's working beautifully now. --– Philosopher Let us reason together. 20:22, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Notifications box replacement prototypes released

Hey Philosopher; Kaldari has finished scripting a set of potential replacements available to test and give feedback on. Please go to this thread for more detail on how to enable them. Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 15:28, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Cool! Thanks for letting me know - I probably won't be able to try them out in them out in the next couple of days, unfortunately, but will take a look at that page when I can. – Philosopher Let us reason together. 04:10, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
Oh, that's what it's about! Right, posting there very soon. Thanks for sharing! – Philosopher Let us reason together. 05:07, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

Re: Proofreading please (from the spanish Wikipedia)

Hi Philosopher. Thank you for writing on Spanish's Wikipedia. I saw your page, and an article like this, maybe can be deleted, because a lack of references. I will take your external links section and use it for references. But, if you have other references, please show it. Good luck. Jmvkrecords Intra Talk 08:01, 26 May 2013 (UTC).

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?

Hello Philosopher! Thank you for being a host at the Teahouse. However, we haven't heard from you lately, so our bot has moved your Host profile from the host landing page to the host breakroom. No worries; you can always just Check in and our bot will move your profile back. Editing any Teahouse-related page will do the same thing for you.

Automatically assessed

Hallo, just saw your comment here, and as the deletion is closed I can't comment, so I do it here ;-). Nobody knows when someone starts to automatically assess talk pages. It happened for the WP Chemistry project in March (one example here: Talk:W49), but "luckily" the project had a Category:Automatically assessed Chemistry articles :-) (Most of the articles in that category, if not all, is from March). My two cents :-) Christian75 (talk) 20:48, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Since the CfD was about keeping empty categories around, I'd assume that you're free to re-create the categories if they are ever populated. – Philosopher Let us reason together. 02:47, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

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) 23:40, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Robert D. Fulton may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s and 2 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

want to recreate category Sandboxes

Years ago, Category:Sandboxes was deleted. I would like to recreate it and make it a redirect to Category:Xn, because it would be easier to remember than the latter. (Category:Xn is new but replaced a prior parent category.) If Category:Sandboxes may confuse readers because of main namespace article/s about sandboxes, then it can be a disambiguation page. Ironically, Category:Sandboxes is already being used as a category destination (scroll down to see a list). I will make a similar proposal to User:Bencherlite for Category:Wikipedia sandboxes because it also would be easier to remember. Thanks. Nick Levinson (talk) 18:21, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

While the CfD doesn't quite apply to this proposed use, I still think this would be a bad idea for the reason you mentioned, that thie really belongs at Category:Wikipedia sandboxes. Because the Wikipedia sandboxes category was speedily deleted as a test, you should be able to just recreate that one yourself, imho. – Philosopher Let us reason together. 19:05, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
