A thanks and a question about Talk pages

Dear Waggers,

You remarked recently that my comment (below, in parentheses) on a rather obscure quote would have been better placed on a Talk page.

" 'From the time that Queen Catharine was defended so stoutly and learnedly by the Bishop of Rochester she ("She" here cannot possibly mean Queen Catherine of Aragon. Why would the queen seek Rochester's destruction if he was defending her "so stoutly and learnedly"? "She" probably means Anne Boleyn, though someone should check the source document.) did seek by all means his destruction...'--The Life of Jane Dormer, Duchess of Feria"

I understand perfectly WHY this should be discussed and researched before being completely acceptable. It seems to be a misquote, or possibly the original text contains an unclear modifier. If I post a similar question to a Talk page, how would it ultimately get resolved? Does someone in the Talk section typically volunteer to research the question, or are there paid researchers?

Thanks for the information.

LGNG (talk) 16:15, 15 February 2013 (UTC)Lara[reply]

Hi, sorry for the delayed response. Talk pages can vary a lot - if lots of people watch the article they can be quite active and you'll find people there who are willing to do a lot of research to resolve the matter. I would always start with the talk page. If that doesn't lead anywhere, there's usually an active Wikiproject that can help. Failing all of that there is a team of volunteer researchers at the Reference Desk who may be willing/able to help.

In the case of your edit my concern was really that you inserted the commentary on the quote into the body of the quote itself, while it may be better placed in the article text outside of the quote if you believe it's encyclopaedic - or on the talk page if it's something you think needs discussing first.

Hope that helps, WaggersTALK 09:30, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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?

King John's Palace, Southampton

Hi - thanks for creating this article. You might like to know that it has been nominated for DYK - see here. Best wishes. -- Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 06:22, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for King John's Palace, Southampton

On 20 July 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article King John's Palace, Southampton, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that historians once believed that King John's Palace, Southampton, was the residence of John, King of England? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/King John's Palace, Southampton. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

	We originally disagreed on the colours and formatting used on Portal:Hampshire (Portal:Hampshire/box-header) but we came to a good agreement which incorporated what we both wanted which ended up following what the official county wants too.

DYK for Canute's Palace

On 27 July 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Canute's Palace, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Canute's Palace had no connection with King Canute, nor was it a palace? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Canute's Palace. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

Disambiguation link notification for September 16

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Allington, Hampshire, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Baddesley (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

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) 11:32, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
