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!

Henry II's grey eyes

I got it from a description by Gerald of Wales, http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/12Cgerald-ireland2.asp — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reicastell (talkcontribs) 13:09, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

We use secondary sources for writing wikipedia articles however. Ealdgyth - Talk 13:12, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject Good Articles - GA Cup

 

WikiProject Good articles is holding a new competition, the GA Cup, from October 1, 2014 - March 28, 2015. The Cup will be based on reviewing Good article nominations; for each review, points will be awarded with bonuses for older nominations, longer articles and comprehensive reviews. All participants will start off in one group and the highest scoring participants will go through to the second round. At the moment six rounds are planned, but this may change based on participant numbers.

Some of you may ask: what is the purpose for a competition of this type? Currently, there is a backlog of about 500 unreviewed Good article nominations, almost an all time high. It is our hope that we can decrease the backlog in a fun way, through friendly competition.

Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors! Sign-ups will be open until October 15, 2014 so sign-up now!

If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ page and/or contact one of the four judges.

Cheers from NickGibson3900, Dom497, TheQ Editor and Figureskatingfan.

Dunstan

Hello, Ealdgyth! Could you please help me with Dustan's Latin writings (here) since our (Enwiki) article does not mention anything about those. Aren't they worth mentioning (or is there some attribution controversy I'm not aware)? Sorry in advance for your inconvenience... José Luiz talk 02:15, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Benedictine Reform

Hi Ealdgyth--I was surprised to find this a red link...do you think we can blame Mike Christie for this? Drmies (talk) 19:38, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

  • OK, it's not red anymore, but it's hardly an article. And I wonder if it should be "English Benedictine Reform", or maybe "Benedictine Reform in England". Drmies (talk) 19:48, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
    • I've seen it under a lot of names - Dunstan's reforms, Aethelwold's reforms, etc. I'm not sure what would be the best name, actually. (And I'm busy killing zombies while I"m sick so not really up to digging around to find the sources...) Also seen it "Tenth Century Reform" ... Ealdgyth - Talk 19:52, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
      • I hate zombies. Good luck with it. I hope you're battling the slow kind. Drmies (talk) 19:56, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
        • "7 Days to Die" - quite .. different. Nothing like vomit spewing cop-zombies to make life interesting... Ealdgyth - Talk 20:08, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
          • Sorry, Wolfenstein 3D was the last game I played. Enjoy, Drmies (talk) 22:17, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi Ealdgyth - thanks for your thanks a couple of days ago. I have suggested moving Benedictine Reform to English Benedictine reform. Dudley Miles (talk) 20:12, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
