SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
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. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- ForteTuba ( talk) 19:28, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
I hope you have that. Bahaha, didn't think I could vandalize your holiday, eh? Well, guess I showed you! :D I kid, have a great one! Cheers, Master of Puppets Care to share? 03:34, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

A review of the Talk page edit history shows you to be familiar with this case. User:Eschoir, an editor with a clear WP:COI issue to begin with, is now marching into territory that could best be described as a fusion between WP:OWN, WP:TE, WP:DE and WP:DBAD. The editor made an article edit containing the word "penis." Since this article had nothing to do with either sexuality or medicine, it immediately raised concerns for me. He was describing some event involvng two real people, Kristinn Taylor and someone with the alias "Dr. Raoul," and he now admits that the event never even happened. So this also raised WP:BLP issues. I left a warning on his Talk page and he has been calling me a sockpuppet ever since.
The editor is also engaged in taunting another editor. This is clearly not consistent with the goal of creating a good encyclopedia. I suggest that a brief block may be in order, along with a warning that an article ban could be next. Thank you. 68.31.137.39 ( talk) 20:12, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Are we to assume that 68.31.137.39 is not BryanfromPalatine? How long? Eschoir ( talk) 21:12, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Eschoir, file your RFCU if you're so sure about this. Let an experienced RFCU admin examine your claim and give you the answer you deserve. I'll keep working[ citation needed] to build a better encyclopedia. Thanks, Prodego. Please keep looking in on this from time to time. Eschoir may not have learned anything today. 68.31.220.221 ( talk) 23:36, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose. You're anonymously posting from shifting IP addresses. One gets blocked for another year, what do you care?
Except you don't have a legacy. Eschoir ( talk) 01:27, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
For a link to Mr Taylor and his costume loving friend, see Doctor Raoul as Hillary's brother. (06/12/03) Eschoir ( talk) 02:18, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
I'm not advocating inclusion of the costume guy in the article, I just gave you the link to show I wasn't making him up.
And I am certainly not calling for 68 to be blocked, because he apparently can't be - anonymously posting from an ever changing IP address. I note that WP policy is forgiveness and reinstatement with contrition and committment to change.
But Bryan won't change.
Speaking of [Shibumi2], does it amuse you as it does me when people try to write posing as a foreigner, they adopt and incorporate the oral affectations of a foreign accent in the writing, as if a college educated Amerind would write "Me heap sorry you misunderstand me"? Eschoir ( talk) 04:20, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
Very good edit on Free Republic from you. I saw this problem but was blocked. You made excellent edit just very short time before I was unblocked. Can you read my mind? What am I thinking? Have good weekend. Shibumi2 ( talk) 23:07, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
In his last FR talk post before permanent bannage, Bryan wrote
The Jewish World Review source indicates that Drudge removed his link to FR because of racist posts surrounding the "Clinton love child" story. But you've ignored a statement by Drudge one paragraph later in the same JWR story, saying that he restored the link. The history is that Drudge briefly removed the link for racist posts, quickly restored the link, and then removed the link again for unknown reasons. As it stood, the paragraph here in the Wiki article was misleading; and the brief removal of the link for a few racist posts isn't notable. FreedomAintFree 21:50, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
Six months later, the edit reappears!
entitled: Improving layout. Changing some awkward wording ... nothing substantive.) (undo)
Drudge later restored the link from his site to Free Republlc, but dropped it again for unknown reasons, and currently does not link.
This has been eating at him for six months - and he couldn't resist the edit.
What does Wiki do? How do you discipline an unregistered banned editor with a false proxy? Eschoir ( talk) 06:25, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
But it makes it seem like the site is some sort of dangerous cult, when it is again: a forum! Compare the FR article with Democratic Underground, and you can easily see what I mean.
I just read the DU article. It is quite different, but not interesting to me. I don't have anything to say about it - I think following liberal fools less interesting than conservative cultists.
And what if it is a dangerous cult? The Naziism article is a lot more biassed than say the Christian Democratic Union article. Should an encyclopedia gloss over the differences?
For example: "struggle with elements of the socialist propaganda machine", "Leftists began to infiltrate the site", "It's scary how much power they do have".
All those quotes come from the cultists. Then what happens is that balancing material is inserted, the Freepers escalate, and bam you get an article on probation.
You see, they really think its a life and death struggle with elements of the socialist propaganda machine - and they've got guns. Eschoir ( talk) 01:40, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
However, we are stuck with two things - the RSs we have, and the volunteer shock troops FR periodically emits conducting holy war for the cause. Eschoir ( talk) 04:35, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

has a new IP: 82.45.201.125. I reported him, admin User:Riana blocked him for 3 days, if he returns, please help keep an eye on him. -- noclador ( talk) 12:09, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Sorry to bother you again, but edits yesterday evening were exceptionally contentious. Comments added to the article that were enclosed in <!-- these --!> can't be described as anything other than baiting. I reported the matter yesterday for clarification at ArbCom and this is the apparent response. Please take the necessary action. Thanks. Samurai Commuter ( talk) 13:17, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi Predago. Could you please provide main page link of sw:wiki in en:wiki main page? If yes please add this: [[sw:]]. I'll be thanksful. See you...-- Muddyb Blast Producer ( talk) 08:08, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for that - forgot all about the new feature of protecting non-existant pages. I want to leave the OTRS and RTV ones there for record-keeping purposes (so I don't forget about them when the time is right to unprotect), but I agree with the Corey Delaney one. Cheers, Daniel ( talk) 08:21, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
In this discussion, you mentioned that you'd be willing to implement the script at User:Outriggr/metadata.js as a gadget. The discussion's been up for a few days and no one has raised any objections, with a good number of people in support. Could you make this script into a gadget, then? It's the sort of script that can't do any harm, and as far as I know, the assessment system it uses is quite widely used, so I think it'd be a good idea just to make it a gadget and try it out.
Also, if you make this into a gadget, there's one small change to the script that improves its functionality a little that I brought up in the discussion. The first if
conditional in the begin
function has !location.pathname.match('/')
as one of its conditions; if you change this to wgAction=='view'
in the gadget version, it makes the script show the article assessment on diff pages and old revisions as well, a useful feature. An example of the script with this change is in my userspace at
User:Pyrospirit/metadata.js.
