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) 23:39, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

ClueBot III

Hi: I can't find any other listed members of the team active, and my note on ClueNet IRC has gone unnoticed. ClueBot III is editing away logged out. Can you either restart it or get a message through to someone who can? Yngvadottir (talk) 17:16, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
