Reality bites

Latest comment: 10 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Appears I am the subject of ridicule. do you have a real name or it is a hoax.Your credentials do not appear to be of any help either.We are contemplating some action. Kind regards Manu Shanker Mishra.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.7.200.243 (talk • contribs) 14:26, 8 July 2013

I assume you refer to the article Manu Shanker Mishra which was deleted in 2009 following a discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Manu Shanker Mishra - where the consensus was that the article should be deleted as it did not meet the notability criteria. I was a participant at that discussion, but no ridicule was present - merely the assertion that you do not meet the criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia.
I do indeed have a real name, which is Steve! I am an editor on Wikipedia, and in common with all other editors, I have the right to comment on proposed deletion of articles. In this case, I saw no evidence that you meet the notability criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia, and stated that fact. If you feel that this made you the subject of ridicule 4 years ago, I am sorry - but that is your perception, nothing of that sort was said or implied.
I should warn you however, that if you make a threat of legal action, your IP will be blocked as is the standard procedure.
On a positive note, if you can provide evidence (including reliable sources which are independent) that you meet the inclusion criteria, then I would be happy to look at it, and if you do indeed meet the criteria for inclusion, I can help you with that.

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

Latest comment: 10 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

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) 00:12, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
