- I would really like to see them predict what I am going to edit in the future (apart from the CSD talk page...). (I might also be interested to see what Google considers suitable advertising to target me with - based on MY search subjects, it could be rather surreal. But I'm going to leave AdBlock Plus turned on and enjoy browsing without all the flashing irrelevant ads for crap that I would not want to buy - I don't buy from ads even if I want something.) I'm damn sure the money spent in this exercise could have been used elsewhere to better effect. Yes, you can predict that someone who only edits football will go on to edit football (unless he gets a new girlfriend who is dominatingly into cross-stitch and Thomas Hardy...). That's hardly rocket science, and is the basis of DUCK blocks on a lot of socks and possibly one or two unfortunate wrong place at wrong time editors. I have doubts about the validity of SuggestBot's suggestions, but haven't signed up or investigated it. But I have even more doubts about this outside thing, and wonder how well they actually know this place. Peridon (talk) 13:19, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
