Can i put again a deleted article about steven D. Waldman and i will delete the inappropriate links? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nad.ooo90 (talk • contribs) 22:42, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
 * If you can write an article that isn't a copyright violation, that's probably okay... but I'm not undeleting the existing article given that it has been deleted repeatedly for being a copyright violation. —Tom Morris (talk) 09:39, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Re: Thanks
No worries mate! Seemed easier just to NAC it and I've been trying to remember to link user names of admins when I do that, just to make sure they get a notification. Glad it's working! Stalwart 111  08:49, 28 May 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) 00:07, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Capresso edit
Well Tom, I'm pretty much a rookie on Wiki and I'm not really sure why you almost instantly reverted my edit on the Capresso page and then followed up with a "level 2 warning"(whatever that means). I originally inadvertently posted it on the coffeemaker page and removed it. The video post was a solution for a problem that plagues the most common problem associated with the most prolific machine made by Jura/Capresso. Please advise... — Preceding unsigned comment added by StorageSignal (talk • contribs) 22:05, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

ALMA - in search of our cosmic origins article deletion
Dear Tom,

I was writing an argument for the keeping of the article ALMA - in search of our cosmic origins, but it seems you deleted both the article and the Talk page before I could press Save. I hope you don't mind that I pressed re-open the page just to be able to tell our point of view with several proves. Please be so kind to review our arguments and consider if our arguments do make a difference. We would also appreciate any advice on how to make that article comply with Wikipedia rules! Thank you very much! Lars Lindberg Christensen (talk) 16:20, 7 June 2013 (UTC)


 * The problem with it isn't copyright as the original tagger marked it. It's that it is written in a way that is completely inappropriate for Wikipedia - it's written like a news release rather than a Wikipedia article. If you want to write an article on ALMA from scratch, go for it. You might want to do so in a user sandbox. I can put a copy of the article in a sandbox for you to edit, but the current article is inappropriate for use on Wikipedia.
 * I'm about to travel for an hour or so, so I can't sort anything out for a while, but am happy to sort things out later on. —Tom Morris (talk) 16:24, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Fair enough! We would like to take your suggestion and have the article about the movie in a sandbox, where we can make it more appropriate and let others review it as well. Please let us know when you are back and able to place it in a sandbox. Thank you very much for all your help! Lars Lindberg Christensen (talk) 16:38, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

I have just noticed Internet Book List
and I am appalled. Semi-protecting a non-existent article does absolutely nothing because folks without accounts can't create articles as it is and thus half-salting is just absolutely useless, all it does it chuck up some useless editnotice for autoconfirmed users. Please remove semi-protection or fully protect it.-- Laun  chba  ller  17:59, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, I've upped it to full protection for the remainder of the protection period. I'm sorry for being an appalling human being for accidentally clicking the wrong button in the protection interface... —Tom Morris (talk) 18:08, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
