Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
[edit]SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
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. For more information about the columns and categories, please consult the documentation and please get in touch on SuggestBot's talk page with any questions you might have.
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. Your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 19:07, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
Indian-head test pattern
[edit]I see that you added [citation needed] to Indian-head test pattern, "Revision as of 13:19, 30 October 2025". I guess you did this because you didn't recognize an uncommon citation type that's valid without a URL. I respectfully request that you revert it as a misunderstanding. (You can just write the revert reason as "Ok per WP:PUBLISH, WP:ABOUTSELF")
A Wikipedia citation must be published, verifiable/accessible, and reliably sourced.
Wikipedia:Published (WP:PUBLISH) is an info page that that seems generally accepted as a valid summary of policy stated elsewhere. It states that "For Wikipedia's purposes, published means any source that is made available to the public in some form."
In this citation, the published public source is a knowledgeable telephone customer service representative of Archie McPhee, a small, private, notable (has a Wikipedia page), mail-order novelty company in Seattle, Washington. Since anyone can call and ask to check facts about the company's products, the night light product article citation is verifiable.
The citation is reliably sourced because of being self-published about themselves (WP:ABOUTSELF).
Aside from your own edit, it would be helpful if you would also remove the adjacent [original research?] tag of 2017. Whoever placed that tag also didn't recognize a valid citation, as well as misunderstood the difference between research and original research. (Wikipedia "Original Research" (WP:OR) refers to a novel idea or a synthesis of older ideas to draw a novel conclusion that isn't reliably verifiable.)
"Ok per WP:PUBLISH, WP:ABOUTSELF" would fix both incorrect tags in one edit pass. ~2025-33455-09 (talk) 00:39, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clarifications. These tags have been removed. Msoul13 (talk) 14:43, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
