Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
You have received these suggestions because we are currently running a study to see if SuggestBot is helpful for newly registered Wikipedia editors. Normally SuggestBot only makes suggestions for users who ask for them explicitly on the SuggestBot request page. We will not post suggestions on your talk page again unless you ask for them. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find a complete consent form with contact information on the SuggestBot Study page.

SuggestBot picks the articles you might be interested in based on the articles you've edited and using a number of different techniques: following links from them to other articles, matching articles based on their content, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedia users. It tries to recommend only articles that others have marked as needing work, such as stub articles that need to be made longer, clean-up articles that need writing help, and so on. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you choose to participate we encourage you to leave feedback on these suggestions, which you can most easily do here by editing your user talk page. We'll stop by later to read them.

Regards,, project researcher and SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 19:50, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ben Ferguson (footballer)


The article Ben Ferguson (footballer) has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. ukexpat (talk) 17:44, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Ben Ferguson (footballer)
Nice work adding references. Please consider using one of the cite templates, such as Cite web and Cite news so that the references are in a consistent format, and using a named reference where a reference is used more than once. And please use an edit summary for each of your edits. Thanks and hope this helps. – ukexpat (talk) 14:23, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
