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. -- SuggestBot (talk) 23:24, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
Benison, I reverted your close at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/George de Meo as a no consensus close in this context was not appropriate. No participants advocated keeping the article, so the only possible outcomes in this case were either delete or redirect. An AFD admin would have made a choice based on those two closes. Per WP:NACD, Close calls and controversial decisions are better left to admins. Anything involving a choice between deletion and an WP:ATD should not be closed by non-admin. The only types of closes you can do are either withdrawal closes where the nominator has withdrawn their nomination and there are no delete supporters, or non-controversial ones where there is a majority consensus to keep the article or a majority consensus for an WP:ATD such as a merge or redirect. Neither of these was the case at this AFD. Best. 4meter4 (talk) 21:06, 1 February 2025 (UTC)
- Hey, thanks for the message. I closed it as no consensus due to two relists where no discussion was held for 14 days and clearly there was no consensus to delete either. Instead of reverting it as BADNAC, a message here would have sufficed, where I myself would have reverted it and relisted. Anyways, let's see if this relist will make some consensus. Thanks and happy editing :) — Benison (Beni · talk) 08:25, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

Updates for editors
- Editors who use the "Special characters" editing-toolbar menu can now see the 32 special characters you have used most recently, across editing sessions on that wiki. This change should help make it easier to find the characters you use most often. The feature is in both the 2010 wikitext editor and VisualEditor. [1]
- Editors using the 2010 wikitext editor can now create sublists with correct indentation by selecting the line(s) you want to indent and then clicking the toolbar buttons.[2] You can now also insert
<code>tags using a new toolbar button.[3] Thanks to user stjn for these improvements. - Help is needed to ensure the citation generator works properly on each wiki.
- (1) Administrators should update the local versions of the page
MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.jsonto include entries forpreprint,standard, anddataset; Here are example diffs to replicate for 'preprint' and for 'standard' and 'dataset'. - (2.1) If the citoid map in the citation template used for these types of references is missing, one will need to be added. (2.2) If the citoid map does exist, the TemplateData will need to be updated to include new field names. Here are example updates for 'preprint' and for 'standard' and 'dataset'. The new fields that may need to be supported are
archiveID,identifier,repository,organization,repositoryLocation,committee, andversionNumber. [4]
