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. -- SuggestBot 19:16, 26 August 2006 (UTC) I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Kidsreads.com, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Kidsreads.com. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.Bradcis 22:36, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cesidian Root

You asked what was up before promptly recreating this article. The article was previously deleted: see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cesidian Root for the discussion as to why it was deleted. Read this. Also, there's been no discussion as for a deletion review - making the article a candidate for speedy deletion. Again, before asking why, look at the deletion discussion I linked to. --Dennis The TIger 17:15, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sockpuppetry case

You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/IndigoGenius for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page.

[edit] September Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Barnstar Brigade
Here in Wikipedia there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go unappreciated. One occasionally comes across editors who have thousands of good edits, but because they may not get around as much as others, their contributions and hard work often go unnoticed. As Esperanzians we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. This is where the Barnstar Brigade comes in. The object of this program is to seek out the people which deserve a Barnstar, and help them feel appreciated. With your help, we can recognize more dedicated editors!
What's New?
September elections are upon us! Anyone wishing to be a part of the Advisory Council may list themselves as a candidate from 18 September until 24 September, with the voting taking place from 25 September to 30 September. Those who wish to help with the election staff should also list themselves!
Appreciation Week, a program currently in development, now has its own subpage! Share your good ideas on how to make it awesome there!
The Esperanza front page has been redesigned! Many thanks to all who worked hard on it.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.
  1. The proposals page has been updated, with some proposals being archived.
  2. Since the program in development Appretiaion week is getting lots of good ideas, it now has its own subpage.
  3. The September 2006 Council elections will open for nominations on 18 September 2006. The voting will run from 25 September 2006 until 30 September 2006. If you wish to be a candidate or a member of the elections staff, please list yourself!
  4. The new Esperanza front page design has but put up - many thanks to all who worked on it!
  5. TangoTango has written a script for a bot that will list new members of Esperanza, which will help those who welcome new Esperanzains greatly!

Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

[edit] November Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Admin Coaching (needs coaches!)
Admin Coaching needs coaches!!! If you are an administrator, or even a generally experienced user, do consider signing up to be a coach.

Admin Coaching, now being coordinated by HighwayCello, is a program for people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Wikipedia policy and culture. People are matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. The program is designed for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins.

What's New?
The Tutorial Drive is a new Esperanza program! In an effort to make complicated processes on Wikipedia easier for everyone, Esperanza working to create and compile a list of tutorials about processes here on Wikipedia. Consider writing one!
A discussion on how Esperanza relates to the encyclopedia has been started; please add your thoughts.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.
  • The list of proposed programs has been updated, with some proposals being archived.
  • There is now a new program: the Tutorial Drive! Consider writing a tutorial on something you are good at doing on Wikipedia.
  • The suggestion of adding a cohesive look to all the Esperanza pages is being considered; join the discussion if you are interested!
  • In order to make a useful interlanguage welcome template, those involved in translation projects will be asked what English Wikipedia policies are most important and confusing to editors coming from other language Wikipedias.
  • A discussion of Esperanza's role in Wikipedia is being held, with all thoughts of all Esperanzians wanted!
  • Shreshth91 informed everyone that he will be leaving the Esperanza council as life is rather busy; his spot will be filled by the runner up from the last election, HighwayCello.

[edit] RfA thanks

Hi Kitia, and thanks for your participation at the recent RfA, which did not succeed. For those of you who expressed their support, your kind words and your trust are sincerely appreciated. For those who were opposed --especially those who offered their constructive criticism-- please accept this message as assurance that equally sincere efforts, aimed at enhancing the quality and accuracy of representations within the Wikipedia, will continue. Striving for improved collaboration and consensus will also continue, with all of your insights in mind, while applying NPOV ideals as fairly and reasonably as possible.

[edit] Make Way For Featured Ducklings

Hey! Thanks for taking the time to put Make Way For Ducklings up for FA. I made all those improvements and did the peer review, but then school started getting hellish. Thanks so much, and let me know if you need any help with it (if any major objectors come along)! — Scm83x hook 'em 04:15, 13 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Akron Wiki

Kitia,

Earlier this year (July) you and I had a bit of a run in on the issue of an 'Akroness' entry in Wikipedia. I really appreciated your input on the matter and was greatful towards your understanding of what happened. After this happened, the Akron online community then responsible for the virtual thorn in a lot of Wikipedian's sides decided to take matters into their own hands and create an Akron wiki. This wiki was hosted outside of Wikipedia's realm but quickly grew from absolutely nothing to a growing local internet resource for Akron, OH. There are several regular contributors and it has been given exposure in some of Cleveland's largest online publications as well as Akron's only newspaper.

I wrote an entry for wikipedia on this development and I truly believe this wiki is and shall exponentially become a huge resource for the people of Akron, OH. I tried my best on writing my entry and modeled it off of another entry I found here that was several years old. Alas, my entry was removed and I'm not entirely sure how to progress from this point. I would like your help and guidance in this measure and would like to create a wikipedia entry that is as valuable to casual searchers of the internet as the Akron wiki is to casual searchers for Akron, Ohio information.

Would you be willing to help me at all? Thank you! --Cpfa eljefe 22:57, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

If you start the Akron Wiki article, I will gladly defend it, and will add as much as I can to it, as long as you state one newspaper that cites it. I will help in any way I can. ''[[User:Kitia|Kitia]] 23:27, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
P.S. I'm not a girl! And I'll be the first to kick you outta a tree to wolves!


[edit] Ida Elizabeth Stover

I agree with your edition of Ida Elizabeth Stover to Wikipedia and think that it is a useful addition to the resources of Wikipedia. She is a very relevant person. Keep up the good work that you have been doing... Stevenmitchell 03:08, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gone-Away Lake

Just wanted to let you know, I got rid of the mention of spoilers (among other things, but I forgot to mention the spoilers in the edit summary) because you didn't talk about anything in the plot summary that would spoil the ending. That's what spoilers are used for, basically. If you have any more questions feel free to leave me a message on my talkpage. -FateSmiled&DestinyLaughed 14:03, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted page "GahooYoogle"

A page you created, or image you uploaded, GahooYoogle, has been deleted in accordance with our deletion policy. In particular, it meets the one or more criteria for speedy deletion; the relevant criterion is:

Unremarkable people, groups, companies and web content. An article about a real person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject.

Wikipedia has certain standards for inclusion that all articles must meet. Certain types of article must establish the notability of their subject by asserting its importance or significance. Additionally, since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, content inappropriate for an encyclopedia, or content that would be more suited to somewhere else (such as a directory or social networking website) is not acceptable. See What Wikipedia is not for the relevant policy.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable notability guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content; it will be deleted again and may be protected from re-creation. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article. If you have any questions, please contact an administrator for assistance. Thank you – Gurch 18:49, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

You think I'm a newbie don't you? I specified its importance and it even has an article in another language. Many well respected contributors (and I'm one of them, being around since June) have edited that artice. Just google GahooYoogle. Please recreate it. It does meet those criteria. ''[[User:Kitia|Kitia]] 18:53, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

No, I don't think you're a newbie. It's a standard message. Your article concerned a website, but made no assertion of importance or significance. This is, as I'm sure your aware, a criterion for speedy deletion.

The full text of the most substantial version of the article was as follows:

[[Image:Gahooyooglelogo.jpg|thumb|250px|GahooYoogle logo]]

'''GahooYoogle''' is a [[search engine]] which shows, on one side, what the specific result looks like on [[Google Search]] and the  other shows what it looks like on [[Yahoo! Search]]. 

Like Google and Yahoo!, GahooYoogle shows other results than web crawling, such as
*[[Images]]
*[[Videos]]
*[[News]]
*[[Shopping]]
*[[directory (databases)|Directory]]
*[[Answers]]

In addition, GahooYoogle has this little poem to help remember the name:
 Write Yahoo then Google  
 Make the Y and G Toggle    
 Never forget GahooYoogle 

==External links==
* [http://gahooyoogle.com GahooYoogle]

{{website-stub}}

[[Category:Internet search engines]]

The article describes what the website is, links to it, has a picture of its logo, a stub tag and a nice poem. I see no assertion of notability, importance or significance. Nor do I see anything in the deletion policy that suggests the calibre of contributor to an article has anything to do with whether it should be kept. Googling GahooYoogle returns results, yes; but that's not in itself a valid assertion of notability. I can Google for my name and get relevant results; that doesn't mean I'm notable – Gurch 19:13, 3 December 2006 (UTC) OK, but I'll be on the lookout for its notability, which I know it has.

[edit] Maria Rowohlt

Hi Kitia,

I noticed you recently created the article about Maria Rowohlt. I just wanted to let you know that you can announce any new Germany-related articles at Portal:Germany/New article announcements and Portal:Germany/New articles. That way other users interested in the topic can see them and might improve them.

You may also be interested in the WikiProject Germany.

Thanks,

--Carabinieri 02:39, Tuesday December 12, 2006 (UTC) 2006

Thanks. I Occasionally translate articles from German. ''[[User:Kitia|Kitia]] 20:53, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please help!

I feel that I am being unfairly treated by User: SteveBaker, who appears to have been rejecting my articles on novels for the simple reason that one of them did not appear to meet Wikipedia's guidelines. I feel that several of the others do meet the guidelines, and indeed, at least two of their authors have got articles about them, in which the books are listed. Furthermore, I have provided ample sources for the articles, which out to be sufficient to establish their importance. Therefore, I would be grateful if yourself or another editor could review them for me. I am weary of reposting them in case Mr Baker takes it upon himself to try blocking me. 217.43.199.206 00:27, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thank you. You have restored my faith. At least there are some good guys out there. I'll get myself an ID in the morning. 217.43.199.206 00:45, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My Articles

My articles were:

  • Beyond Black
  • Falling (novel)
  • Watchman (novel)
  • Buddha Da
  • The ice People, and
  • The Kaiser's Last Kiss, which you have created.

Thanks again.

I am now looking forward to joining Wikipedia, and will be in touch with you to give you my user name.

Kind regards
