Don

Latest comment: 11 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Is the word "don" in the context of a university gender neutral? I know the original Spanish word is masculine, and the word entered English before female professors were common. The word doña is not used, but is "don" used for female professors? (I'm not British, and it sounds wrong to me.) 216.8.169.45 (talk) 14:38, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

I'm not an Oxonian or a Cambridgian, so I don't know the finer points of the word in question. Google reassures me that there are female dons. —Tom Morris (talk) 16:34, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.

IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.

Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.

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) 23:56, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Otakar Odložilík, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Andrzej Rej (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.

Tree2mydoor page deletion

Latest comment: 11 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hi Tom, I've read the "Why was my page deleted?" article and would like to get this page reinstated. Could you confirm the reasons you deleted it? Also, we feel that Tree2mydoor is a notable, established multi-award winning UK niche brand that deserves a Wikipedia page. I was a contributor to the page and am working to get it reinstated. 90.194.179.149 (talk) 08:02, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

It was deleted because there was a consensus in the deletion discussion that it isn't notable. —Tom Morris (talk) 08:27, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
