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) 00:23, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

"Nina Коvacheva" listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Nina Коvacheva. Since you had some involvement with the Nina Коvacheva redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 23:10, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

DYK for Automatic Train Protection (United Kingdom)

On 10 April 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Automatic Train Protection (United Kingdom), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that British Rail's Automatic Train Protection system was estimated to cost £11 million per life saved, more than the £4 million per life to be considered good value for money? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Automatic Train Protection (United Kingdom)), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Connecting

Hey Alex, how can I connect with you outside Wikipedia? Jay2930 (talk) 15:07, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Jay2930, realistically, I'm not a very experienced editor. You'll get more useful help quicker at the teahouse, and it is typically discouraged to use email for anything other than sensitive, non public information, for which I unlikely have the permissions to act upon. ~~ Alex Noble/1-2/TRB 16:41, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

I’m not looking for the editor in you, I was looking for a good friend. Jay2930 (talk) 16:44, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
