Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot’s recommendations. 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 in the consent information sheet.

We have added information about the readership and quality of the suggested articles using a Low/Medium/High scale. For readership the scale goes from Low to High, while for quality the scale goes from Low  to High.

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

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) 01:52, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Incivility

 * Context

Believe me, I try hard to be civil. Sometimes, honesty and niceness come into conflict, and, when they do, I try to simply state things truthfully without being colorful. When the original PC trial was begun, it was advertised as a two-month trial. When two months were over, supporters then tried to claim that there needed to be a consensus to turn the trial off, and that "two month trial" did not mean that the trial would end in two months. It took nearly a year to get the two month trial to stop. There's no nice word to discuss such behaviour. Civility doesn't require that anyone not truthfully describe misbehaviour.&mdash;Kww(talk) 22:17, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the response. I appreciate your frustration.  I still think that pointing it out in that way can be unhelpful to a discussion.  Cheers, Bovlb (talk) 23:24, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
