;<big>Spineless editors overwhelmed by stubs</big>

Within the Tree of Life and its many subprojects, there is an abundance of stubs. Welcome to Wikipedia, what's new, right? However, based on [[User:WP 1.0 bot/WikiWork/all|all wikiprojects]] listed (just over two thousand), the Tree of Life project is worse off in average article quality than most. Based on the concept of relative [[User:WP 1.0 bot/WikiWork/faq|WikiWork]] (the average number of "steps" needed to have a project consisting of all featured articles (FAs), where stub status → FA consists of six steps), only seven projects within the ToL have an average rating of "start class" or better. Many projects, particularly those involving invertebrates, hover at an average article quality slightly better than a stub. With relative WikiWorks of 5.98 each, WikiProject Lepidoptera and WikiProject Beetles have the highest relative WikiWork of any project. Given that invertebrates are incredibly speciose, it may not surprise you that many articles about them are lower quality. WikiProject Beetles, for example, has over 20 times more articles than WikiProject Cats. [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia is a work in progress|Wikipedia will always be incomplete]], so we should take our relatively low WikiWork as motivation to write more articles that are also better in quality.

;<big>Editor Spotlight: Showing love to misfit taxa</big>
We're joined for this month's Editor Spotlight by {{noping|NessieVL}}, a long-time contributor who lists themselves as a member of [[WP:WikiProject Fungus|WikiProject Fungus]], [[WP:WikiProject Algae|WikiProject Algae]], and [[WP:WikiProject Cephalopods|WikiProject Cephalopods]].

1) Enwebb: How did you come to edit articles about organisms and taxonomic groups?
*''Nessie'': The main force, then and now, driving me to create or edit articles is thinking "Why isn't there an article on that on Wikipedia?"  Either I'll read about some rarely-sighted creature in the deep sea or find something new on [[iNaturalist]] and want to learn more.  First stop (surprise!) is Wikipedia, and many times there is just a stub or no page at all.  Sometimes I just add the source that got me to the article, not sometimes I go deep and try to get everything from the library or online journals and put it all in an article.  The nice thing about taxa is the strong precedent that all accepted extant taxa are notable, so one does not need to really worry about doing a ton of research and having the page get removed.  I was super worried about this as a new editor:  I still really dislike conflict so if I can avoid it I do.  Anyway, the most important part is stitching an article in to the rest of Wikipedia:  Linking all the jargon, taxonomers, pollinators, etc., adding categories, and putting in the correct WikiProjects.  Recently I have been doing more of the stitching-in stuff with extant articles.  The last deep-dive article I made was [[Karuka]] at the end of last year, which is a bit of a break for me.  I guess it's easier to do all the other stuff on my tablet while watching TV.

2) Enwebb: Many editors in the ToL are highly specialized on a group of taxa. A look at your recently created articles includes much diversity, though, with viruses, bacteria, algae, and cnidarians all represented&mdash;are there any commonalities for the articles you work on? Would you say you're particularly interested in certain groups?
*''Nessie'': I was a nerd from a time when that would get you beat up, so I like odd things and underdogs.  I also avoid butting heads, so not only do I find [[Siphonophorae|siphonophores]] and seaweeds fascinating I don't have to worry about stepping on anyone's toes.  I go down rabbitholes where I start writing an article like ''[[Mastocarpus papillatus]]'' because I found some growing on some rocks, then in my research I see it is parasitized by ''[[Pythium porphyrae]]'', which has no article, and how can that be for an oomycete that oddly lives in the ocean and also attacks my tasty [[nori]].  So then I wrote that article and that got me blowing off the dust on other Oomycota articles, encouraged by the pull of propagating automatic taxoboxes.  Once you've done the taxonomy template for the genus, well then you might as well do all the species now that the template is taken care of for them too. and so on until I get sucked in somewhere else. I think it's good to advocate for some of these 'oddball' taxa as it makes it easier for editors to expand their range from say plants to the pathogenic microorganisms of their favorite plant.

:My favorite clades though, It's hard to pick for a dilettante like me.  I like working on virus taxonomy, but I can't think of a specific virus species that I am awed by.  Maybe ''[[Tulip breaking virus]]''  for teaching us economics or ''[[Variola virus]]'' for having so many {{cl|Smallpox deities|smallpox deities}}, [[Babalú-Ayé|one of which]] was popularly sung about by [[Desi Arnaz]] and then inspired the name of a [[Baba Looey|cartoon character]] who was then misremembered and then turned into a nickname for Howard Stern's producer [[Gary Dell'Abate]].  Sorry, really had to share that  chain, but for a species that's not a staple food it probably has the most deities.  But anyway, for having the most species that wow me, I love a good fungus or algae, but that often is led by my stomach.  Also why I seem to research so many plant articles.  You can't eat siphonophores, at least I don't, but they are fascinating with their federalist colonies of [[zooid]]s.  Bats are all amazing, but the task force seems to have done so much I feel the oomycetes and slime moulds need more love.  Same thing with dinosaurs (I'm team ''[[Therizinosaurus]]'' though).  But honestly, every species has that one moment in the research where you just go, wow, that's so interesting.  For instance, I loved discovering that the picture-winged fly (''[[Delphinia picta]]'') has a mating dance that involves blowing bubbles.  Now I keep expecting them to show me when they land on my arm, but no such luck yet.

3) Enwebb: I noticed that many of your recent edits utilize the script [[User:Evad37/rater|Rater]], which aids in quickly reassessing the quality and importance of an article. Why is it important to update talk page assessments of articles? I also noticed that the quality rating you assign often aligns with [[User:EpochFail/ArticleQuality|ORES]], a script that uses machine-learning to predict article quality. Coincidence? 
*''Nessie'': I initially started focusing on WikiProject talk page templates because they seem to be the key to data collecting and maintenance for articles, much more so than categories.  This is where you note of an article needs an image, or audio, or a range map.  It's how the [https://bambots.brucemyers.com/cwb/index.html cleanup listing bot] sorts articles, and how {{No ping|Plantdrew}} does his automated taxobox [[Wikipedia talk:Automated taxobox system/Archive 3#27 June 2019 usage statistics update|usage stats]].  The latter inspired me to look for [https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?language=en&project=wikipedia&ns%5B0%5D=1&ns%5B118%5D=1&templates_any=Virusbox%0D%0ATaxonbar%0D%0ATaxobox%0D%0ASubspeciesbox%0D%0ASpeciesbox%0D%0AParaphyletic%20group%0D%0AOobox%0D%0AMissing-taxobox%0D%0AInfraspeciesbox%0D%0AIchnobox%0D%0AHybridbox%2Flua%0D%0AHybridbox%0D%0ABiota%20infobox%0D%0AAutomatic%20taxobox&templates_no=rodents%0D%0Afishproject%0D%0AWikiProject%20Viruses%0D%0AWikiProject%20Turtles%0D%0AWikiProject%20Spiders%0D%0AWikiProject%20Sharks%0D%0AWikiProject%20Rodents%0D%0AWikiProject%20Reptiles%0D%0AWikiProject%20Primates%0D%0AWikiProject%20Poultry%0D%0AWikiProject%20Plants%0D%0AWikiProject%20Paleontology%0D%0AWikiProject%20Palaeontology%0D%0AWikiProject%20Microbiology%0D%0AWikiProject%20Micro%0D%0AWikiProject%20Marine%20life%0D%0AWikiProject%20Marine%20Life%0D%0AWikiProject%20Mantodea%0D%0AWikiProject%20Mammals%2FBats%20Task%20Force%0D%0AWikiProject%20Mammals%0D%0AWikiProject%20Lepidoptera%0D%0AWikiProject%20Insects%0D%0AWikiProject%20Hypericaceae%0D%0AWikiProject%20Gastropods%0D%0AWikiProject%20Fungi%0D%0AWikiProject%20Fishes%0D%0AWikiProject%20Equine%0D%0AWikiProject%20Dogs%0D%0AWikiProject%20Dinosaurs%0D%0AWikiProject%20Cetaceans%0D%0AWikiProject%20Cephalopods%0D%0AWikiProject%20Cats%0D%0AWikiProject%20Carnivorous%20plants%0D%0AWikiProject%20Bivalves%0D%0AWikiProject%20Birds%0D%0AWikiProject%20Beetles%0D%0AWikiProject%20Banksia%0D%0AWikiProject%20Arthropods%0D%0AWikiProject%20Animals%0D%0AWikiProject%20Amphibians%20and%20Reptiles%0D%0AWikiProject%20Algae%0D%0AWPSpiders%0D%0AWP%20Spiders%0D%0ASquirrels%0D%0ARodent%0D%0AMammal%0D%0ALepidopteraTalk%0D%0ABirdTalk%0D%0AAARTalk&templates_use_talk_no=on&search_max_results=500&sortby=title&sortorder=descending&add_image=on&interface_language=en&active_tab=tab_templates_n_links&doit= articles on organisms that are not assigned to any ToL WikiProjects] which initially was in the thousands.  I got it down to zero with just copypasta so you can imagine I was excited when I saw the rater tool.  Back then I rated everything stub/low because it was faster:  I couldn't check every article for the items on the B-class checklists.  Plus each project has their own nuances to rating scales and I thought the editors in the individual projects would take it from there.  I also thought all species were important, so how can I choose a favorite?  Now it is much easier with the rater tool and the apparent consensus with {{No ping|Abductive}}'s method of rating by the pageviews (0-9 views/day is low, 10-99 is med, 100-999 is high...).  For the quality I generally go by the ORES rating, you caught me.  It sometimes is thrown off by a long list of species or something, but it's generally good for stub to C: above that needs formal investigation and procedures I am still learning about.  It seems that in the ToL projects we don't focus so much on getting articles to GA/FA so it's been harder to pick up.  It was a little culture shock when I went on the [[Wikipedia:Discord|Discord server]] and it seemed everyone was obsessed with getting articles up in quality.  I think ToL is focusing on all the missing taxa and (re)organizing it all, which when you already have articles on every anime series or whatever you can focus on bulking the articles up more.  In any event, on my growing to-do list is trying to get an article up to FA or GA and learn the process that way so I can better do the quality ratings and not just kick the can down the road.

4) Enwebb: What, if anything, can ToL and its subprojects do to better support collaboration and coordination among editors? How can we improve? 
*''Nessie'': I mentioned earlier that the projects are the main way maintenance is done.  And it is good that we have a bunch of subprojects that let those tasks get broken up into manageable pieces.  Frankly I'm amazed anything gets done with WikiProject Plants with how huge its scope is.  Yet this not only parcels out the work but the discussion as well.  A few editors like {{No ping|Peter coxhead}} and {{No ping|Plantdrew}} keep an eye on many of the subprojects and spread the word, but it's still easy for newer editors to get a little lost.  There should be balance between the lumping and splitting.  The newsletter helps by crossing over all the WikiProjects, and if the discord channel picked up that would help too.  Possibly the big Enwiki talk page changes will help as well.

5) Enwebb: What would surprise the ToL community to learn about your life off-Wikipedia?
*''Nessie'': I'm not sure anything would be surprising.  I focus on nature offline too, foraging for mushrooms or wild plants and trying to avoid ticks and mosquitos.  I have started going [[magnet fishing]] lately, more to help clean up the environment than in the hopes of finding anything valuable.  But it would be fun to find a weapon and help solve a cold case or something.

== Welcome ==

Welcome on Wikipedia, Orenburg1! Thank you for your contributions on squirrels. You may be interested in joining [[WP:RODENT|the Wikiproject on rodents]] to help improve Wikipedia's information on rodents. I hope you'll have a lot of pleasure editing Wikipedia in the future. Kind regards, [[User talk:Ucucha|Ucucha]] 15:53, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

== Your recent edits to [[Planet Earth (TV series)]] ==

Hi Orenburg1 and welcome to wikipedia. I hope that you have a good time here and enjoy editing. In regard of your recent edits to the article [[Planet Earth (TV series)|Planet Earth]], you changed "summer" to "spring" in several sections and "6 months" to "4 months" in the case of Penguins in the Antarctic. Would you be able to explain the rationale for your edits please? Sincerely, [[user:Antarctic-adventurer|<span style="color:#009966;">Antarctic-adventurer</span>]][[user talk:Antarctic-adventurer|<span style="color:#009966;"> (talk)</span>]] 12:39, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

I should have put a note. I reverted edits by IP's 70.239.11.123 & 76.205.81.217 made on 8th and 11th November 2010. It seems that there is a person out there who persistently changes "spring" to "summer" on various pages and also likes to mess with dates. From the pattern of edits I suspect that they are also using IP's 76.205.88.228, 76.205.90.138, 76.205.82.239 and 70.239.10.245 which are all in the same geolocation and possibly some others.

:OK, Thanks for your reverts. This kind of vandalism is hard to spot so well done for finding it! Without going back and listening to the original narration I can't remember which one was correct. [[user:Antarctic-adventurer|<span style="color:#009966;">Antarctic-adventurer</span>]][[user talk:Antarctic-adventurer|<span style="color:#009966;"> (talk)</span>]] 18:02, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

== FYI ==

I undid your edit to [[Diamond Star]]. I can not understand why you made it. Would you care to explain it to me? I'll keep your talkpage watched. [[User:Debresser|Debresser]] ([[User talk:Debresser|talk]]) 21:43, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
:I was just doing some general copyediting and typo correction. I deleted the repeated words. It read "Diamond Star, Diamond-Star..." While I am looking at the page doesnt the entry for BPM 37093 which says in part "...estimated to be a 10 billion trillion trillion trillion carat diamond." go a little further than the article actually says?

== [[Saniwa]] ==

Hi Orenburg1, I've reverted [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Saniwa&diff=447461395&oldid=447457553 your edit] to [[Saniwa]] as I couldn't see an explanation for why you reverted the article back 4 days. All the information seemed to me to be referenced, reliable and well-written so I was wondering why you removed it? I was made aware of it as some of the information you removed is currently referenced on the Main Page in the DYK section. If you have any questions, please leave them on my talk page. Regards, [[User:Woody|Woody]] ([[User talk:Woody|talk]]) 12:08, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
:I thought something like that might have happened given your first edit to the article. Saving old enough versions is easy enough to do, I'm sure I remember doing it at least once! No harm done, all is back as it should be now. Thanks, [[User:Woody|Woody]] ([[User talk:Woody|talk]]) 14:19, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

== Copy edit tagging ==

Hi Orenburg1, I just wanted to let you know that there is [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Coordinators#September_newsletter.2C_current_drive_.26_tagging_issues|a discussion]] regarding your tagging at the [[WP:GOCE|GOCE]].

Cheers. --'''[[User:SMasters|SMasters]]''' ([[User talk:SMasters#top|talk]]) 01:14, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

I'd be happy if you'd contribute more to the [[Lego Ninjago: The Series]] article. Your original help was great, thanks. I posted some suggestions on the discussion page as well.

If you want you can watch more episodes of the series on youtube. I believe a user named XmasToys has several uploaded.

==Your invitation to participate in a Wikimedia-approved survey in online behavior.==

Hello, my name is [[User:Tsikerdekis|Michael Tsikerdekis]][http://muni.cz/people/346392][http://tsikerdekis.wuwcorp.com], currently involved as a student in full time academic research at [[:en:Masaryk University|Masaryk University]].  I am writing to you to '''kindly invite you''' to participate in an online survey about interface and online collaboration on Wikipedia.  The survey has been [[Meta:Research:Anonymity_and_conformity_over_the_net|reviewed and approved]] by the Wikimedia Foundation [[Meta:Research:Committee|Research Committee]].

I am contacting you because you were randomly selected from a list of active editors.  The survey should take about '''7 to 10 minutes to complete, and it is very straightforward'''.

'''Wikipedia is an open project by nature. Let’s create new knowledge for everyone!''' :-)

To take part in the survey please follow the link: [http://tsikerdekis.wuwcorp.com/pr/survey/?user=73565893 tsikerdekis.wuwcorp.com/pr/survey/?user=73565893] ([https://tsikerdekis.wuwcorp.com/pr/survey/?user=73565893 HTTPS]).

PS: The results from the research will become available online for everyone and will be published in an open access journal.

UPDATE: This is the second and final notification for participating in this study. Your help is essential for having concrete results and knowledge that we all can share. I would like to thank you for your time and as always for any questions, comments or ideas do not hesitate to contact me. PS: As a thank you for your efforts and participation in Wikipedia Research you will receive a Research Participation Barnstar after the end of the study. --[[User:Tsikerdekis|Michael Tsikerdekis]] ([[User talk:Tsikerdekis|talk]]) 08:00, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi there. Well done with all the spelling corrections. Sad to say, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Uganda_Anti-Homosexuality_Bill&curid=24771377&diff=545234350&oldid=542049089 this] is a false positive - almost incredibly, the source URL is spelt wrongly. I've left a note with an archive link on the talk page and will try to sort it out if I get a chance. For now, I've reverted it to the right-wrong (old) spelling. Hope this helps.

== Undoing edits to Metropolitan Library ==
Hi: I removed those lines about Steve Kern & Mick Cornett from the [[Metropolitan Library System (Oklahoma)]] entry simply because I don't think they contribute to the entry. My intentions weren't to dismiss these issues or to censor them but I don't think that they add anything helpful/informative to this article. I think there are venues online in which this content can be shared, but I don't think a Wikipedia article about Metropolitan Library is the best one for this information. I look forward to hearing your feedback. [[User:Tspindle|Tspindle]] ([[User talk:Tspindle|talk]]) 14:22, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
:Hello Tspindle. I reverted your edit because there was no reason given for the deletion of these rather controversial issues. I think that it is important that controversies such as this are not airbrushed out of Wikipedia. However reading it carefully I would agree that it adds nothing to the article and would be better confined to the entries of the individuals concerned, something I will leave to someone else as I have no ax to grind here. I will unrevert; the fact that the controversy existed remains but it probably could do with copy editing to be more concise. This discussion should probably also be copied to the article talk page. Appreciate your bringing it here rather than just reverting again.
Thanks for understanding & for the tip on how I can be a better editor in the future. [[User:Tspindle|Tspindle]] ([[User talk:Tspindle|talk]]) 19:56, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].</small>

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these [[User:DPL bot|opt-out instructions]]. Thanks, [[User:DPL bot|DPL bot]] ([[User talk:DPL bot|talk]]) 11:24, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

:Recreating previously deleted pages and removing speedy deletion tags without good reason are generally not good ideas - they are likely to get you blocked from editing.

you added a tag asking for more sources in the article [[Cumulonimbus and aviation]]. There are already 54 references and in our opinion the contentious points of the article are duly referenced.

Thanks for noticing the new book article I wrote, ''[[Think Big and Kick Ass]]'' ! What do you think of the article? [[User:Sagecandor|Sagecandor]] ([[User talk:Sagecandor|talk]]) 14:28, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
:Following your note I took another look at it (and made a couple of minor copyedits). I have not read the book so can not really comment (and do not want to) on the content except to say that approaching it as a casual reader it seems reasonably balanced. The quoted refs seem to say that not as much money was given to charity as the book implies but the article does not make that point - a minor comment from me. Good articles are more difficult to write than it seems at first and I hope you carry on. Regards [[User:Orenburg1|Orenburg1]] ([[User talk:Orenburg1#top|talk]]) 18:03, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

I have doubts about the appropriateness of your adding "[[Sic]]" to instances of the word "glamorous / glamourous" when it is spelled with a "u".

You seem to have done this many times. I am not sure that the "glamourous" spelling is inappropriate. Is it not a common spelling?

:Thank you, and also for your measured question rather than just reverting the edits, which is appreciated. The Oxford English Dictionary and Merriam-Webster say "glamorous" is correct in both British and American English (as does Wiktionary). The OED website says "Note that although glamor is an American spelling of glamour, glamorous is not an American form. This word is spelled the same way in both British and American English, and glamourous is regarded as an error".
Regards. [[User:Orenburg1|Orenburg1]] ([[User talk:Orenburg1#top|talk]]) 16:12, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
::That seems like a fair explanation. I will not disagree, but I will lightly challenge it. [https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/glamorous Merriam Webster] says that "glamorous" is a less common variation. Also, these two examples above were Indian English. There is a little evidence that this is an acceptable variant and also we have no evidence about Indian English. I am not sure either way. Wiktionary seems like a fair place to sort this but I am not sure how that works. Thanks for the chat. I support what you are doing if you want to continue.

:::Fair point, shame that MW is not as emphatic as the OED. I shall give third party spellings of glamourous from American sources the benefit of the doubt. Indian English spelling normally follows British English, I am not aware of an exception here, but I have never come across an Indian English dictionary; if you know of one please let me know.

== On punctuation ==

I'll get back to you... [[User:Wikidalien|Wikidalien]] ([[User talk:Wikidalien|talk]]) 20:10, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

== Random punctuation ==

On my, according to two people here, *random* use of punctuation in my article edits: 

There has been a general decline, particularly in American culture, since, shortly after the advent of the Internet (that word, by the way, is ALWAYS capitalized), and particularly, the 'World-Wide Web', in what used to be considered, 'good' English grammar. 
But a trend towards degeneration has been firmly set in place - mainly due to ignorance of the rules of the language, and, sheer laziness of attitude and that, mainly in punctuation, spelling, syntax, grammar, etc. This, I well remember, was predicted early on by veteran computer users, and, in particular, those who were writers. 
This trend, of course, is due to the influx and influence of the general populace, which, seemingly all at once, introduced a 'lowest-common-denominator' policy on textual communication, by people who, typically, were not at all familiar with keyboards, namely typewriters, as used in textual communication of any kind. This has affect the comprehension and interpretation of said communications, to such a degree, that, more than 80% of all Internet-originated, textual communications sent by, even close family members, are misunderstood by the receiver, and another 80%, of any given message's content, is not correctly interpreted. 

Punctuation, is the 'flavor' of a statement, or clause, as it relates to the previous, and the following statement or clause. As the eye perceives any good artwork, you are being guided - sensibly, and rationally through it, by way of proper punctuation. 
See how easy, and conversational that was to read? Now, try this:

"There has been a general decline particularly in america since shortly after the advent of the internet which by the way is always capitalized and particularly the world wide web in what used to be considered good english grammar a trend towards degeneration has been firmly set in place mainly due to ignorance of the rules of the english language mainly in punctuation spelling syntax grammar and etc."
No, I wouldn't want to have to read it again, either. 

There is, also, probably something else to consider. That is, your personal familiarity or unfamiliarity, with the language and how you learned to speak it, and, how you read it. 
If you're under about the age of 30, then you, and those before you, are speaking it differently. Your 'discontinued use' of - what used to be required adeptness in - the intricacies of English grammar, doesn't make my memory, and my retention of it, wrong. 
Good writing should resemble, even mimic, oral conversation. Punctuation gives a string of ideas, or a clause - or a string, or a progression of clauses - clarity, and sensibility. See that? If you didn't quite catch it, read it again. 

According to Strunk and White, a certain amount of 'literary freedom', is granted to the writer, who may wish to use it as a literary 'device', or, in such a way as to emphasize something, which, may not present itself, readily, to the reader. Punctuation should present, properly, the idea proposed, in a way that fits, and suits, the desired, chosen way of expression of the writer. The way it is written and punctuated, depends on the content, dialect, phraseology (British, or American) emphasis of content or idea, and, even local colloquialism. 

DO NOT criticize, or otherwise reprimand me, for my application of something, that is going to assist you, in the understanding, and readability, of each idea, as it occurs, and is presented, in a way that, in the end, makes your reading experience, one, of better, overall comprehension. 
Now, read that rather lengthy sentence again - this time, with no punctuation. Have fun. 
DO NOT try to minimalize my level of continued, and, continuing education, unless, you are quite well-prepared to assert comparisons. 
If, at this point, you didn't quite catch what I just said, read it again. 
If all else fails - I'll do the writing; you, do the reading. [[User:Wikidalien|Wikidalien]] ([[User talk:Wikidalien|talk]]) 00:42, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I saw you added there were no sources/references on the article which details the episodes and plot. I wondered if you could elaberate on this, in hope I can find what is nessesary to improve the article. 
Regards [[User:Heimatchen|Heimatchen]] ([[User talk:Heimatchen|talk]]) 23:23, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
:Hi Heimatchen - I cleaned up some English and typos and tagged the article as it had no references at all. Wikipedia requires verifiability; see [[WP:V|Wikipedia:Verifiability]]. Reading [[WP:REFB|Help:Referencing for beginners]] may be useful. Hope this helps.

:: Hi there, thanks for that. I will have a read.
:: Regarding the plots, which is purpose of episodes page, they are direct from the episodes/films themselves. I thought plots do not require references? If it is about the title names, run times, etc, I'm sure I'll be able to find somewhere.
:: Also, there for Heimat 1, there is a Blu-Ray being released in a few months, which I'll be getting. Any helpful information from interviews or the booklet or documentary, I will gladly add. Regards. [[User:Heimatchen|Heimatchen]] ([[User talk:Heimatchen|talk]]) 09:43, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi Orenburg1, Wikipedia only has one page for a Westphal article, while there are actually two Westphal's with one being a neighbourhood located in Dartmouth, NS and the other being a separate community outside Dartmouth, NS. I was wondering if you could help me gather sources so we could get the Westphal community up on Wikipedia and have it show on Google Maps. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

==Ferdinand Feichtner==
Hi Orenburg1, How are you? I don't think we have spoken before. Yip is thr short answer. When Feichtner was captured after the war, he had to write some ''homework'' they called it, by [[TICOM]], which is essentially all the stuff he did while he was working as a Luftwaffe officer. As part of the Germany surrendering unconditionally,  German soldiers had to offer all the information they had to whoever in the allies wanted it. TICOM and a British outfit [[Combined Services Detailed Interrogation Centre|CSDIC]] sent teams in to capture and interrogate important Germans who were involved in the intelligence side of things. Feichtner was one of those captured. So it is his homework you are reading. He was very busy Luftwaffe officer. I have other homework examples, e.g. [[Otto Buggisch]] who was also captured and [[Hans Rohrbach]] who was a brilliant mathematican and crypanalyst, one of their best and did important work after the war. He wrote a 98 page homework document on a solving the O2 strip cipher, which is dense mathematical treatise and too long for Wikipedia really, which is unfortunate. All these documents are in the public domain and have been cleared for use by Wikipedia, and Diaanna. regards.

==Arturo Alfonso Schomburg==

Thank you for your contributions to the article on [[Arturo Alfonso Schomburg]]. It has been among the favorite articles which I have written because it tells that Puerto Ricans have made positive contributions to the United States. The fact is that Schomburg was born in Puerto Rico when Puerto Rico was still a Spanish Colony and therefore he was not an American citizen.

As a matter of fact Puerto Rican citizenship was first legislated by the United States Congress in Article 7 of the Foraker Act of 1900. When Puerto Ricans were granted a limited citizenship in 1917, by the Jones Act, they didn't have to give their Puerto Rican Citizenship. On November 18, 1997, the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico, through its ruling in Miriam J. Ramirez de Ferrer v. Juan Mari Brás, reaffirmed the standing existence of the Puerto Rican citizenship. The CIA World Fact Book, states that the nationality of Puerto Ricans is not "American" but, in fact, "Puerto Rican."

Not only that, he was proud of being a Puerto Rican and referred to himself as an "Afroborinqueño" which means "Afro-Puerto Rican". He became a member of the "Revolutionary Committee of Puerto Rico" and became an active advocate of Puerto Rico's and Cuba's independence from Spain.

Let's go by the true facts, this being an encyclopedia. We can not re-write history to our liking. Now, thank you once more for your good-faith editing. [[User:Marine 69-71|Tony the Marine]] ([[User talk:Marine 69-71|talk]]) 02:18, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

:I think you are berating the wrong person here. I merely corrected the grammar from "...a American..." to "...an American..."; I have no opinion on his nationality. If you wish to harangue someone for altering his nationality then you need to talk to 2601:cd:c101:5870:41e2:bb45:f4c4:5363.

;<big>WikiCup heating up</big>
Tree of Life editors are making a respectable showing in this year's [[WP:WikiCup|WikiCup]], with three regular editors advancing to the third round. Overall winner from 2016, {{noping|Casliber}}, topped the scoreboard in points for round 2, getting a nice bonus for bringing [[Black mamba]] to FA. {{noping|Enwebb}} continues to favor things remotely related to bats, bringing ''[[Stellaluna]]'' to GA. Plants editor {{noping|Guettarda}} also advanced to round 3 with several plant-related DYKs.
;<big>Wikipedia page views track animal migrations, flowers blooming</big>
A [https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.3000146 March 2019 paper in ''PLOS Biology''] found that Wikipedia page views vary seasonally for species. With a dataset of 31,751 articles about species, the authors found that roughly a quarter of all articles had significant seasonal variations in page views on at least one language version of Wikipedia. They examined 245 language versions. Page views also peaked with cultural events, such as views of the [[Great white shark]] article during [[Shark Week]] or [[Turkey (bird)|Turkey]] during [[Thanksgiving]].

;<big>Fundamental changes being discussed at [[WP:BIOL|WikiProject Biology]]</big>
On 23 May, user {{noping|Prometheus720}} created a talk page post, [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Biology#Revamp_of_Wikiproject_Biology--Who_is_In?|"Revamp of Wikiproject Biology--Who is In?"]]. In the days since, WP:BIOL has been bustling with activity, with over a dozen editors weighing in on this discussion, as well as several others that have subsequently spawned. An undercurrent of thought is that WP:BIOL has too many subprojects, preventing editors from easily interacting and stopping a "critical mass" of collaboration and engagement. Many mergers and consolidations of subprojects have been tentatively listed, with a consolidation of WikiProjects [[WP:GEN|Genetics]] + [[WP:MCB|Molecular and Cell Biology]] + [[WP:COMBIO|Computational Biology]] + [[WP:BIOP|Biophysics]] currently in discussion. Other ideas being aired include updating old participants lists, redesigning project pages to make them more user-friendly, and clearly identifying long- and short-term goals.

;<big>Editor Spotlight: These editors want you to write about dinosaurs</big>
Editors {{noping|FunkMonk}} and {{noping|Jens Lallensack}} had a very fruitful month, collaborating to bring two dinosaur articles to [[WP:GA|GA]] and then nominating them both for [[WP:FA|FA]]. They graciously decided to answer some questions for the first ToL Editor Spotlight, giving insight to their successful collaborations, explaining why you should collaborate with them, and also sharing some tidbits about their lives off-Wikipedia.

1) Enwebb: How long have you two been collaborating on articles? 
*''Jens Lallensack'': I started in the German Wikipedia in 2005 but switched to the English Wikipedia because of its very active dinosaur project. My first major collaboration with FunkMonk was on ''[[Heterodontosaurus]]'' in 2015.
*''FunkMonk'': Yeah, we had interacted already on talk pages and through reviewing each other's articles, and at some point I was thinking of expanding ''Heterodontosaurus'', and realised Jens had already written the German Wikipedia version, so it seemed natural to work together on the English one. Our latest collaboration was ''[[Spinophorosaurus]]'', where by another coincidence, I had wanted to work on that article for the [[WP:Four Award]], and it turned out that Jens had a German book about the expedition that found the dinosaur, which I wouldn't have been able to utilise with my meagre German skills. Between those, we also worked on ''[[Brachiosaurus]]'', a wider Dinosaur Project collaboration between several editors.
2) Enwebb: Why dinosaurs?
*''JL'': Because of the huge public interest in them. But dinosaurs are also highly interesting from a scientific point of view: key evolutionary innovations emerged within this group, such as warm-bloodedness, gigantism, and flight. Dinosaur research is, together with the study of fossil human remains, the most active field in paleontology. New scientific techniques and approaches tend to get developed within this field. Dinosaur research became increasingly interdisciplinary, and now does not only rely on various fields of biology and geology, but also on chemistry and physics, among others. Dinosaurs are therefore ideal to convey scientific methodology to the general public. 
*''FM'': As outlined above, dinosaurs have been described as a "gateway to science"; if you learn about dinosaurs, you will most likely also learn about a lot of scientific fields you would not necessarily be exposed to otherwise. On a more personal level, having grown up with and being influenced by various dinosaur media, it feels pretty cool to help spread knowledge about these animals, closest we can get to keeping them alive. 
3) Enwebb: Why should other editors join you in writing articles related to paleontology? Are you looking to attract new editors, or draw in experienced editors from other areas of Wikipedia?
*''JL'': Because we are a small but active and helpful community. Our Dinosaur collaboration, one of the very few active open collaborations in Wikipedia, makes high-level writing on important articles easier and more fun. Our collaboration is especially open to editors without prior experience in high-level writing. But we do not only write articles: several WikiProject Dinosaur participants are artists who do a great job illustrating the articles, and maintain an extensive and very active image review system. In fact, a number of later authors started with contributing images. 
*''FM'': Anyone who is interested in palaeontology is welcome to try writing articles, and we would be more than willing to help. I find that the more people that work on articles simultaneously with me, the more motivation I get to write myself. I am also one of those editors who started out contributing dinosaur illustrations and making minor edits, and only began writing after some years. But when I got to it, it wasn't as intimidating as I had feared, and I've learned a lot in the process. For example anatomy; if you know dinosaur anatomy, you have a very good framework for understanding the anatomy of other [[tetrapod]] animals, including humans.

4) Enwebb: Between the two of you, you have over 300 GA reviews. FunkMonk, you have over 250 of those. What keeps you coming back to review more articles?
*''FM'': One of the main reasons I review [[WP:GAN|GANs]] is to learn more about subjects that seem interesting (or which I would perhaps not come across otherwise). There are of course also more practical reasons, such as helping an article on its way towards [[WP:FAC|FAC]], to reduce the GAN backlog, and to "pay back" when I have a nomination up myself. It feels like a win-win situation where I can be entertained by interesting info, while also helping other editors get their nominations in shape, and we'll end up with an article that hopefully serves to educate a lot of people (the greater good). 
*''JL'': Because I enjoy reading Wikipedia articles and like to learn new things. In addition, reviews give me the opportunity to have direct contact with the authors, and help them to make their articles even better. This is quite rewarding for me personally. But I also review because I consider our GA and FA system to be of fundamental importance for Wikipedia. When I started editing Wikipedia (the German version), the article promotion reviews motivated me and improved my writing skills a lot. Submitting an article for review requires one to get serious and take additional steps to bring the article to the best quality possible. GAs and FAs are also a good starting point for readers, and may motivate them to become authors themselves.

5) Enwebb: What are your editing preferences? Any scripts or gadgets you find invaluable?
*''FM'': One script that everyone should know about is the [[User:Evad37/duplinks-alt|duplink highlight tool]]. It will show duplinks within the intro and body of a given article separately, and it seems a lot of people still don't know about it, though they are happy when introduced to it. I really liked the citationbot too (since citation consistency is a boring chore to me), but it seems to be blocked at the moment due to some technical issues.
*''JL'': I often review using the Wikipedia Beta app on my smartphone, as it allows me to read without needing to sit in front of the PC. For writing, I find the reference management software [[Zotero]] invaluable, as it generates citation templates automatically, saving a lot of time.
**<small>Editor's note: I downloaded Zotero and tried it for the first time and think it is a very useful tool. More [[Wikipedia:Citing sources with Zotero|here]].</small>
6) Enwebb: What would surprise the ToL community to learn about your life off-wiki?
*''FM'': Perhaps that I have no background in natural history/science, but work with animation and games. But fascination with and knowledge of nature and animals is actually very helpful when designing and animating characters and creatures, so it isn't that far off, and I can actually use some of the things I learn while writing here for my work (when I wrote the ''[[Dromaeosauroides]]'' article, it was partially to learn more about the animal for a design-school project).
*''JL'': That I am actually doing research on dinosaurs. Though I avoid writing about topics I publish research on, my Wikipedia work helps me to keep a good general overview over the field, and quite regularly I can use what I learned while writing for Wikipedia for my research.

|-
| 
The [[Wikipedia:WikiCup|WikiCup]], an annual editing competition, is now in its fourth round. Casliber, consistent participant since 2010 and winner in 2016, is currently dominating Group A with 601 points. Largely responsible is the successful Featured Article nomination of [[Masked booby]]. The other remaining Tree of Life participant, Enwebb, is participating in her first ever WikiCup. In this round, she has a grand total of...5 points. But with the recent Featured Article nomination of [[Megabat]], she stands to gain 600 points if successful. As it stands, though, it appears that at least one ToL editor is headed to the fifth and final round of 8 contestants, which begins September 1.

Thus far, all participants in the WikiCup have generated 17 Featured Articles, 116 Good Articles, 16 Featured Lists, and 57 Featured Pictures. The Good Article Nominations backlog has been reduced as well, with 286 Good Article Reviews.

| <center><big><strong>Editor spotlight: Photographing the tree of life</strong></big></center>
|-
| 
For this month's editor spotlight we're joined by {{noping|Charlesjsharp}}, a longtime contributor to Wikimedia Commons with a plethora of featured pictures on English Wikipedia.<br>

1) Starsandwhales: How long have you been editing Wikipedia, and how did you get interested? How did you begin your journey of photographing wildlife? <br>

*''Charlesjsharp'': I uploaded my first pictures to Wikipedia twelve years ago for fun, to show my kids how it works. The pictures of my daughter ([[static trapeze]]), my son ([[Revell]]), my dog ([[Border Terrier]]) and my parents’ home ([[Tealing]]) are all still in the articles! I then started to upload wildlife images.
:I’d got my first camera aged eight and went on my first safari in the Kruger Park, South Africa in 1970. I was hooked. I switched to digital in 2004, but didn’t buy any high-end lenses till 2014. Such a shame that hundreds of great photos I took before then look so dreadful by today’s quality standards. My 100-400mm lens transformed mammal and bird photography opportunities and when I got my 100mm macro lens in 2016, the whole new world of insects was open for business.
[[File:Pied kingfisher (Ceryle rudis rudis) female eating chick.jpg|thumb|Pied kingfisher eating a chick, photographed by Charlesjsharp]]
2) S&W: Over the years, you've taken photos of many different organisms from birds to insects to big cats; you have an [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Charlesjsharp/favourites extensive list of favorite images]. Which animals have been the most exciting for you to photograph? <br>

*''Charlesjsharp'': The trophy animals the hunters used to shoot are the ones I like to shoot too: it was lion, elephant and baboon in 1970. More recently, hunting for tiger by jeep in Kanha National Park in India was exciting and so was searching for jaguar by boat in the rivers of the Pantanal in Brazil. Our encounters with the mountain gorillas in Rwanda and Uganda was amazing, but the actual photography was no challenge. 

:But photographing animal behaviour is the most exciting and challenging. There’s usually movement and it all happens so fast, like when [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Giant_kingfisher_(Megaceryle_maxima)_female_composite.jpg a bird captures its prey]. Every now and then you snap something really unusual – like the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pied_kingfisher#/media/File:Pied_kingfisher_(Ceryle_rudis_rudis)_female_eating_chick.jpg cannibal kingfisher]

3) S&W: Many articles under ToL have requests for people to add images that can go unanswered. What can the community do to improve the coverage of different organisms on Wikipedia, especially when it comes to images? <br>

*''Charlesjsharp'': It’s a very time consuming process because the Wikipedia code is cumbersome (*see below). It take an age to upload to Commons: to describe, categorize, geocode. Many of the categories don’t exist so have to be created. If the image is of a subspecies, then all the images have to be checked before you can nominate an image for VI. It’s also takes ages to nominate images for VI and QI on Commons. May be some users use sophisticated tools to lighten the load, but I don’t know if they exist. In other words, Wikipedia is OK, but Commons is a nightmare. Hundreds of really poor quality photos clog up the system and some users are too lazy to filter and edit their nominations.<br>
:Recently, some thoughtless editor added a ‘caption’ box to Commons. A waste of time. The image title should act as the caption.<br>
:I applied for a grant to attend Wikimania, but was unsuccessful. Not much can happen without some funding to kickstart and then drive improvements forward.<br>Here was my response to the question: "How can we increase the quality and diversity of images being uploaded and, in particular, improve the Featured Picture, Quality Image and Valued Image projects?"<br>
[[File:Panther chameleon (Furcifer pardalis) male Nosy Be.jpg|thumb|Panther chameleon male, photographed by Charlesjsharp]]
::1. Work together on pre-defined projects to develop a team spirit that will help us develop a set of shared values<br>
::2. Through brainstorming, Identify what we need to do to improve the quality and diversity of images being uploaded and, in particular, identify what we need to do to improve the credibility of the Featured Picture, Quality Image and Valued Image projects<br>
::3. By sharing our photographic skills, find ways to share skills with the community. Knowledge transfer is time-consuming and we need to set limited objectives and realistic time frames. This will require compromise as individuals have to listen and find ways to agree. This is going to be much easier through face-to-face meetings<br>
::3. Identify what we need to do to improve the quality and diversity of images being uploaded (diversity of contributor and diversity in subject) and, in particular, identify what we need to do to improve the credibility of the Featured Picture, Quality Image and Valued Image projects<br>
::4. Spend more time talking about values and knowledge transfer than sharing photography tips amongst delegates, then getting all delegates to agree to DO SOMETHING WHEN THEY GET HOME to take things forward.

4) S&W: What advice would you give to people new to photographing wildlife? <br>
*''Charlesjsharp'': An impossible question unless you know what someone’s objective is. So you’re on your first safari? Borrow or rent a decent camera and a quality 300mm lens. Then read a few of the dozens of free advice pages on the internet. Then when you’re out and about, take the lens cap off and set the camera to fully automatic sports mode. Be ready. If you’ve time, get in the right place (sunlight/background). Watch the animal’s behaviour. Point and shoot. Glance at the screen. If OK, repeat. Only then start playing with the settings to optimise shutter speed, F number and ISO.<br>

5) S&W: What would the Tree of Life community be surprised to learn about your life off-wiki?
<br>
*''Charlesjsharp'': I used to be a high-end stamp collector (early USA). My photography is a sort of collecting. And I’m a keen bridge player.

[[File:WikiJournal of Science logo.svg|thumb|''WikiJournal of Science'' is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal]]
[[File:WikiJournal of Science publishing pipeline (wiki first).svg|thumb|One publishing pipeline for ''WikiJSci'']]
''Guest column by Thomas Shafee ({{noping|Evolution and evolvability}}), Editor in Chief of ''WikiJournal of Science''


The Tree of Life WikiProject and its sprawling phylogeny of daughter projects is one of the largest and most active communities in Wikipedia. It encompasses approximately 570 [[WP:FA#Biology|Featured Articles]] and well over a thousand [[WP:Good_articles/Natural_sciences#Organisms|Good Articles]] (second only to military history). The ''[[v:WikiJournal of Science|WikiJournal of Science]]'' (one of [[wikiversity:WikiJournal_User_Group|three current journals in the user group]]) has a few aims that may closely align with the interests of the ToL community. 

;Review of existing articles
Firstly, ''WikiJSci'' can be a complementary system for FA review (getting external review, input, and validity). When an Wikipedia article is nominated (via [[WP:JAN]]), journal editors go out to non-Wikipedian academics and researchers who have published on the subject on the last five years and invite them to give feedback comments (e.g. [[doi:10.15347/wjs/2018.008|Peripatric speciation]] and [[doi:10.15347/WJS/2019.003|''Baryonyx'']]). The resulting changes can then be integrated back into the Wikipedia article.

;Attracting new articles and contributors
Getting more editors involved in Wikipedia is always a high priority. ''WikiJSci'' can also be a way to encourage new people to contribute articles (especially on missing/stub/start topics). An example of an article that was written from scratch by a group of non-Wikipedians is [[doi:10.15347/WJS/2019.004|''Teladorsagia circumcincta'']]. This not only resulted in a new Wikipedia page on an underdeveloped topic, but introduced the idea of Wikimedia contribution to a group of people who had previously never considered it.

;Images, videos, sound and galleries
The journal can be a way to get multimedia content reviewed or encourage contribution. The same approach could be easily adapted to sounds (e.g. frog mating calls) or videos (e.g. starfish feet motion). It also allows for tracking of those images in new articles via Altmetric ([https://dimensions.altmetric.com/details/3455098/news this example] has >200, which is bananas). There aren't any biology examples in ''WikiJSci'' yet, but the sister medical journal has published a few summary diagrams, photography, and image galleries. Examples include [[doi:10.15347/wjm/2014.010|this gallery by Blausen Medical]] or the diagram of [[doi:10.15347/wjm/2017.008|cell disassembly during apoptosis]].

;Other projects
For those interested in other Wikimedia sister projects, there's also broad scope for interactions with the WikiJournals. Perhaps peer reviewed teaching resources could be useful to sit alongside sets of Wikipedia articles and be integrated into Wikiversity courses (like [[doi:10.15347/wjs/2018.005|this]] or [[doi:10.15347/wjm/2017.006 |this]])? Can sections of Wikidata & Wikispecies be peer reviewed? What are the potential avenues for integration with [[metawiki:WikiCite|WikiCite]], [[wikidata:Wikidata:WikiFactMine|WikiFactMine]], [[toolforge:scholia/|Scholia]], etc.? Currently, ''WikiJSci'' is aiming to be very flexible and try out different formats so long as they can be externally peer reviewed.

For more info, see the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2019-06-30/In focus|2019-06-30 ''Signpost'' article]] and the current [[meta:WikiJournal|sister project proposal]].

| <center><big><strong>Editor spotlight: Cwmhiraeth </strong></big></center>
|-
| 
1) ''Enwebb'': You're very prolific with DYKs, with over 2,000 nominations credited (in fact, I'll highlight which DYK nominations this month were yours below). What made you become so involved in this part of Wikipedia? Why should Tree of Life editors nominate articles for DYK?

:''Cwmhiraeth'': I became aware of the WikiCup in 2012 and entered the contest. The scoring structure seemed to me to favour DYKs, and I went to considerable trouble to identify short stubs that could be expanded into qualifying start class articles with multiple bonus points. Casliber introduced me to preparing articles for FAC and Sasata helped me with my first solo FA. I won the WikiCup that year, and repeated that success the following year, after which the Cup got a bit more competitive. By that time, nominating articles for DYK was an ingrained habit, and I have continued doing so ever since, but at a rather slower rate. I do more work behind the scenes at DYK now, reviewing other people's nominations in excess of my QPQ requirement, and building prep sets ready to go on the main page, and I retired from competing in the WikiCup and became a judge instead. I would encourage ToL editors to nominate suitable articles for DYK because it gives great satisfaction to know that hundreds or even thousands of people have appreciated your work, and it provides a foil for the biographies and historical articles that predominate there.

2) ''Enwebb'': I noticed that your DYK nominations reflect a diverse array of flora and fauna, from trees, marine invertebrates, birds, fishes, and mammals. How do you decide what to work on?
:''Cwmhiraeth'': As I look around different articles I keep a note of things I might work on, red links, stub articles that need expanding or places in articles where I would like to add a wikilink but no suitable target page exists. So I have this list, but more often than not I choose a new article to work on based on a Google book that I have been using in a previous article. I like Google books; some of them are really useful for species articles, the main annoyance being when certain pages are permanently unavailable, although I am quite good at tricking the books into revealing pages that they were trying to prevent me from viewing. Eventually I get bored with African rodents, or whatever my present topic is, and move on. I am particularly interested in organisms living in extreme habitats, endangered species, invasive species, pest species, parasites or creatures with interesting behavioural traits.

3) ''Enwebb'': Which of your Wikipedia accomplishments are you most proud of?

:''Cwmhiraeth'': Well, [[Sea]] really. Again that was inspired by the WikiCup, and working in collaboration with Chiswick Chap, we took it from virtually nothing, little more than a list of seas, through DYK and GA, culminating in a really tough FA. That was very satisfying (as were the 1000 odd points it gained me at the WikiCup). In complete contrast was the article [[Tree]]. I completely rewrote it in a sandbox as an entry for the "Core contest". The previous version had been quite short with a section on "Record breaking trees" which I hived off into a separate article. My new version was immediately challenged and an edit war would have erupted had I not decided to retire from the fray. My version had some serious flaws, I had never studied botany and I had used a book source which misled me. However, after corrections, my version largely remained in place and I later joined Chiswick Chap in bringing the article to GA status. 

4) ''Enwebb'': What motivates you to keep contributing? What's your 10,000 ft view (pardon the non-SI) of the community and Tree of Life?

:''Cwmhiraeth'': I think Wikipedia is a really great project. The idea of Wikipedia as a pool of knowledge contributed to by thousands of individuals in hundreds of countries is inspiring. It would be nice if we had no vandalism and everyone co-operated with everyone else in an amicable spirit, but as we are all human, it does not quite work out like that. I like to think of my efforts as a legacy that will continue in existence after I am gone.

6) ''Enwebb'': How did you first become interested in natural history?

:''Cwmhiraeth'': When I was young I had an elderly aunt who used to come to stay and who would take me for walks in the countryside, during which we would watch birds and identify wild flowers. She would take me out at weekends from my girls-only boarding school and we would search for orchids on the Wiltshire Downs. My school was not geared up for science, we just did general science for O-levels, and when it came to A-levels, I was the only pupil in my year to do zoology and chemistry, and one of only two to do physics, for which we had to cycle off to the grammar school on the other side of town. I wanted to be a vet, but was discouraged by my father, obtained a BSc in biochemistry and ended up in an unrelated job. If I were to live my life again, things might work out differently, but then I dare say we could all say that!

*'''An end in sight for the WikiCup'''
:The 2019 WikiCup is in its fifth and final round, with two of the eight remaining contestants from the ToL community. The 2016 winner {{noping|Casliber}} is in first place as of 1 October, and {{noping|Enwebbb}} is in seventh place.
*'''Getting spooky for Halloween'''
:It's the most wonderful time of the year...Halloween, that is. With articles on [[skeleton frog]]s, [[ghost bat]]s, and [[Satanic nightjar]]s, Wikipedia has more spooky taxa than a graveyard has ghosts. In the new [[WP:TOLC|Spooky Species Contest]], Tree of Life editors are turning Wikipedia into Spookypedia, working from a crowd-sourced list of taxa. There's still time to sign up! How can you let an article like ''[[Draculoides bramstokeri]]'' pass you by?
*'''The never-ending article title'''
:September saw the creation of (takes deep inhalation) ''[[Cneoridium dumosum (Nuttall) Hooker F. Collected March 26, 1960, at an Elevation of about 1450 Meters on Cerro Quemazón, 15 Miles South of Bahía de Los Angeles, Baja California, México, Apparently for a Southeastward Range Extension of Some 140 Miles]]''. Just two characters shy of Wikipedia's limit on article title length, ''Cneoridium dumosum...140 Miles'' now has the longest article title of any on English Wikipedia. In contrast to its verbose title, the journal article that is the subject of the article is only five words long.

This month saw a vanishingly rare occurrence for the Tree of Life: a new WikiProject joined the fold. [[WP:WikiProject Diptera|WikiProject Diptera]], however, is also unusual in being a [https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/courses/Washington_University_in_St_Louis/Behavioral_Ecology_(Fall_2019) classroom project]. Whether or not this project will stay active once the semester ends remains to be seen. It does not bode well, however, that {{noredirect|WP:WikiProject Vespidae}}&mdash;a creation from the same instructor at St. Louis University&mdash;faded to obscurity shortly after the fall semester concluded in 2014. WikiProject Vespidae is defunct and now redirects to the Hymenoptera task force of WikiProject Insects.

Since 2014, the Tree of Life has seen a string of years where one or zero projects or task forces were created. The only projects and task forces created since then are [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Animal anatomy|WikiProject Animal anatomy]] (2014), [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Insects/Hymenoptera task force|Hymenoptera task force]] (2016), [[WP:BATS|Bats task force]] (2017), [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Hypericaceae|WikiProject Hypericaceae]] (2018), and now WikiProject Diptera (2019). The year 2006 saw the greatest creation of WikiProjects and task forces, with fourteen still active and the remaining six as "semiactive", "inactive", or "defunct".

*The first Spooky Species Contest wrapped up this week. Two articles were promoted to Good Article as a result ([[:Halloween darter]] and [[:Deathwatch beetle]]) and three Did You Know hooks on Halloween were related to the contest (Halloween darter, [[Boophis popi|skeleton frog]], and [[:Coffin Cave mold beetle]]. Two new articles were created, including ''[[Longan witches broom-associated virus]]'' and ''Boophis popi'', the skeleton frog species that appeared at DYK.
*The [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2020/Wikispecies 2020 Community Wishlist] Survey is live (focusing on non-Wikipedia content projects), with two proposals so far for WikiSpecies. The Wikimedia Foundation will prioritize the top 5 proposals across all sister projects.
*The 2019 [[WP:WikiCup|WikiCup]] has finally concluded, with {{noping|Casliber}} taking home the bronze. The bulk of their points this round came from two Featured Articles: [[:rock parrot]] and [[:western yellow robin]].

| <center><big><strong>Alphabet Soup: Explaining DYK, GA, FA, and More</strong></big></center>
|-
| 
By request from another editor, this month I wrote an overview of ways that content is featured on Wikipedia. Below I have outlined some of the processes for getting content featured:

===Did You Know (DYK)===
'''What is it''': A way for articles to appear on the main page of Wikipedia. A short hook in the format of "Did you know...that ___" presents unusual and interesting facts to the reader, hopefully making the reader want to click through to the article

'''How it works''': The DYK process has fairly low barriers for participation. The [[Wikipedia:Did_you_know#Eligibility_criteria|eligibility criteria]] are few and relatively easy to meet. Some important guidelines:
*To be eligible, article is either new (newly created or moved to mainspace), a 5x expansion, or passed a GA review. Its creation, expansion, or promotion to GA must have been in the past 7 days.
*Article must be long enough, with more than 1,500 characters of prose (this doesn't include embedded lists)
**I find [[User:Shubinator/DYKcheck|Shubinator's DYKcheck script]] useful in determining whether an article is eligible for nomination.
The process for creating the nomination is somewhat tedious. Instructions can be found [[Template_talk:Did_you_know#How_to_list_a_new_nomination|here]] (official instructions) and [[User:Rjanag/Quick DYK 2|here]] ("quick and nice" guide to DYK). Experience is the best teacher here, so don't be afraid to try and fail a few times. The last few DYK nominations I've done, however, have been with the help of [[User:SD0001/DYK-helper|SD0001's DYK-helper script]], which makes the process a bit more streamlined (you create the template from a popup box on the article; created template is automatically transcluded to nominations page and article talk page)

Once your nomination is created and transcluded, it will need to be reviewed. The reviewer will check that the article meets the eligibility criteria, that the hook is short enough, cited, and interesting, and that other requirements are met, such as for images. If you've been credited with more than 5 DYKs, the reviewer will also check that you've reviewed someone else's nomination for each article that you nominate. This is called QPQ (''quid pro quo''). You can check how many credited DYKs you've had [https://tools.wmflabs.org/betacommand-dev/cgi-bin/dyk.py here] to see if QPQ is required for you to nominate an article for DYK.

===Good Article (GA)===
'''What it is''': A peer review process to determine that an article meets [[Wikipedia:Good article criteria|a set of criteria]]. This adds a {{icon|GA}} symbol to the top of the article. About 1 in 200 articles on Wikipedia is a GA.

'''How it works''': You [[Wikipedia:Good article nominations/Instructions|follow the instructions]] to nominate an article, placing a template on its talk page. Anyone can nominate an article&mdash;you don't have to be a major contributor, though it is considered polite to inform the major contributors that you are nominating the article. The article is added to a queue to await a review. In the ToL, it seems that reviews happen pretty quickly, thanks to our dedicated members. Once the review begins, the reviewer will offer suggestions to help the article meet the 6 GA criteria. Upon addressing all concerns, the reviewer will pass the article, and ''voilà''! Good Article!

'''Advice to a first-time nominator''': Look at other Good Articles in related areas before nominating. If you're unsure about nominating, consider posting to the talk page of your project to see what other editors think. You can also have a more experienced editor co-nominate the article with you.

===Featured Article (FA)===
'''What it is''': An exhaustive peer review to determine that an articles meets the [[WP:FACR|criteria]]. This adds a {{icon|FA}} to the top of the article. About 1 in 1,000 articles on Wikipedia is a FA.

'''How it works''': You [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates|follow the instructions]] to nominate an article, placing a template on its talk page. Nominated articles are usually GAs already. Uninvolved editors can nominate, though the article's regular editors should be consulted first. Several editors will come by offering feedback, eventually supporting or opposing promotion to FA. A coordinator will determine if there is consensus to promote the article to FA. For an editor's first FA, spot checks to verify that the sources support the text are conducted.

'''Advice to a first-time nominator''': The Featured Article Candidate (FAC) process is a bit intimidating, but several steps can make your first one easier (speaking as someone who has exactly one). If you also did the GA nomination of the article, you can ask the reviewer for "extra" feedback beyond the GA criteria. You can also formally request a [[WP:PR|peer review]] and/or a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests|copy edit]] from the Guild of Copy Editors to check for content and mechanics. First-time nominators are encouraged to seek the help of a [[WP:FAM|mentor]] for a higher likelihood of passing their first FAC.

===Good and Featured Topics (GT and FT)===
'''What it is''': It took me a while to realize we even had GT and FT on Wikipedia, as they are not very common relative to GA and FA. Both GT and FT are collections of related articles of high quality (all articles at GA or FA, all lists at Featured List). GT/FT have to be at least 3 articles with no obvious gaps in coverage of the topic, along with [[Wikipedia:Featured topic criteria|other criteria]]. For GT, all articles have to be GA quality and all lists must be FL. For FT, at least half the articles must be FA or FL, with the remaining articles at GA.

'''How it works''': [[Wikipedia:Featured topic candidates/Nomination procedure|Follow the nomination procedures]] for creating a new topic or adding an article to an existing topic. Other editors weigh in to support or oppose the proposal. Coordinators determine if there is consensus to promote to GT/FT. 

'''Advice to a first-time nominator''': There are very few GT/FT in Tree of Life ([[Wikipedia:Good_topics#Natural_sciences|5 GT]] and [[Wikipedia:Featured_topics#Biology|11 FT]]). Most of the legwork appears to be improving a cohesive set of articles to GA/FA.

== Pre-existence of Christ, section "In art" ==

Good morning Orenburg1, with regard to [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pre-existence_of_Christ&type=revision&diff=927873248&oldid=927812825/ oldid 927812825] rollback, I wish to suggest to end the section titled "	In art", with the following statement: 

:  ''In some Early Christian sarcophagi, the Logos is distinguished with a beard, "which allows him to appear ancient, even preexistent. In the [[Catacombs of Domitilla]], located near Rome and dated to the fifth century, the [[Holy Spirit]] God is depicted as a stylized Christian [[Doves as symbols#Christianity|dove]] with a branch of olive tree.
It recalls {{bibleref2|Genesis|8:11-13|NKJV}}, the announcement of peace after the human martyrdom of a Saint son of God like Domitilla, or of the enemies of Noah''.

Logos is identified with Jesus Christ God and therefore would be appropriate to mention the Holy Spirit God'presence in the [[Early Christian art and architecture]]. The latter WP article sources that this historical period extends from the 2nd century to 550 at the latest. Hence, it concerns the [[Catacombs of Domitilla]], which is dated to the fifth century CE.

I ask uniquely to add the sentences highlighted in the Italic font, but -in my modest and argumented opinion- it is highly possible that early Christian martyrs understood and believed all what I am going to summarize. This is an additional reason to mention the "Holy Spirit God as a dove" in [[Pre-existence of Christ#In art]].

While we have God the Father and God the Son depicted with a human-divine male body (both of them), the Holy Spirit God is depicted as one or more holy animals, whose feminine or masculine sex is not specified. it's a very relevant difference.
With the artistical and unusual choice of depicting a Divine Person with a common animal and not with a human and sexuated body, we note that early Christians thought the Holy Spirit to be God, but also something of radically different than the other two Divine Persons, who are represented as humans. This artistical choice for a holy place -like a burial- is uniquely possible because of the existence of multiple biblical references to this transubstantiaton of the Holy Spirit into an animal form, e.g. in the Pentecost narration. Differently from Indians in respect of cattles, we don't know early Christians worshiped ''any dove'' as being God, even if they had a respectful behavior for animals. So we can suppose they didn't think a dove was the "animal body" of the Holy Spirit God (an aniamal substance), nor that any dove was the corporeal house of an Holy Spirit (like Indians did), but that the Holy Spirit chose to "use" a common dove to appear to humans or that god the Creator gave life to a single animal specifically for that purpose. 

Angels, which are created invisible and incorporeal (and therefore without sexuation), are created at image and similitude of the Holy Spirit God, which is the same divinity, but of a different substance than God the Father and God the Son.

== Revision of my edit of Pat Hingle ==

Hi
I am new to adding info to Wikipedia. I see that you removed my edit and stated it was inappropriate. The info that I added is 100% correct. When you use the term inappropriate are you saying that it is because I have put something in the wrong place? I don’t know how to add he info in it’s correct section, and tried for many hours to do so. I added it at the top of the page so hopefully some kind soul would either show me how to do it, or add it for me. I saw no option to assist in doing this.  In this sense the use of the word “inappropriate isn’t really the case. Unfortunately the meaning of this word these days implies that there has been some wrong doing on someone’s part. I assume that you do not think that I have done something or behaved in some way inappropriately. Perhaps you can clarify this. Also I have some info to add to the Walter Koenig filmography. I don’t want to make the same mistake again, perhaps you would be good enough to help me. If you do respond to this message, I must confess I don’t know how to look up to see the reply. It is only by chance that I saw that my post had been removed. As I said I am a complete newbie to trying to edit. Please remember that at some point in time it was everyone’s first attempt.

== Pronomial vs. Pronominal ==

Hello, I have noticed you "correcting" the spelling of ''pronomial'' to ''pronominal'', however the former is not incorrect, they are just two similarly spelled words that mean the same thing. (Although until now I had never heard of the latter word.) I don't see any benefits from these changes. But perhaps you do, so I just wanted to give you the opportunity to explain why ''pronominal'' is preferable over ''pronomial''. [[User:AquitaneHungerForce|AquitaneHungerForce]] ([[User talk:AquitaneHungerForce|talk]]) 09:06, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
:Hi {{U|AquitaneHungerForce}} I am working my way thru the WP lists of misspellings and have reached P which lists ''pronomial'' as a misspelling of ''pronominal''. Considering their size the lists have relatively few errors although I have come across a couple. An online search of the OED and Merriam-Webster gives only ''pronominal'' with no apparent results for ''pronomial''. My papercopy of the shorter OED has only ''pronominal''. This of course is not necessarily conclusive. Regards [[User:Orenburg1|Orenburg1]] ([[User talk:Orenburg1#top|talk]]) 07:35, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

== Suggestions ==

Hello there! Can I suggest if I can change the sentence of [[Virgin Atlantic fleet]]

"[[Virgin Atlantic]] operates an all widebody aircraft from Airbus and Boeing, composed of [[Airbus A330-200]], [[Airbus A330-300]], [[Airbus A350-1000]] and [[Boeing 787-9]]. The airline also has [[Airbus A330-900]] on order."


Hope you're okay with this. Thanks in advance! [[User:Cornerstone2.0|Cornerstone2.0]] ([[User talk:Cornerstone2.0|talk]]) 05:50, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

:Hi {{U|Cornerstone2.0}}. The sentence does not make a lot of sense without the word ''fleet'.

:I originally reverted your previous edit to change ''aircrafts'' to ''aircraft'' as the singular and plural of ''aircraft'' are the same in English, but see that I reverted to a version that was still confusing.

:I suggest that the opening sentence should simply read:
  
:"[[Virgin Atlantic]] operates a fleet of all widebody aircraft from both Airbus and Boeing."

:This makes the opening sentence simple to read and the details of the fleet and its development can then be dealt with in detail in the following sections which probably is easier in the long run as these change relatively frequently. I see that you have done a pretty good job on these sections by the way.

:I have changed the intro accordingly.

:Regards.

If you have a moment, could you revert the IP's edit to this article?  I can't seem to make them understand that they cannot add unsourced "soon to be published" information to Wikipedia articles, and they just keep restoring it.  I've filed an edit warring report. [[User:Beyond My Ken|Beyond My Ken]] ([[User talk:Beyond My Ken|talk]]) 07:40, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
:Actually, I withdrew the AN3 report because I miscounted and I'm over 3 reverts myself. [[User:Beyond My Ken|Beyond My Ken]] ([[User talk:Beyond My Ken|talk]]) 07:43, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
{{ping|Beyond My Ken}}, I did not have internet access yesterday as I was travelling but I see Black Hawk has reverted it. Regards [[User:Orenburg1|Orenburg1]] ([[User talk:Orenburg1#top|talk]]) 06:43, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

== You made me look up ''chthonian'' ==

Thanks for the fixes of "fourty" to "forty" at [[List of US Navy ships sunk or damaged in action during World War II]]. I thought you might want to know, since the quotes on your user page are so good (and I thought you might appreciate a pedantic note), that Wikipedia style is to have no quote marks for quotes in boxes. Keep up the good work.&nbsp;[[User:SchreiberBike|SchreiberBike&nbsp;]]&#124;[[User talk:SchreiberBike#top|&nbsp;⌨&nbsp;]] 17:19, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
