Tip of the day...

The three-revert rule

Many people know that if someone reverts an article more than three times in 24 hours (3RR), they may be blocked to prevent edit warring. But did you know that:

• Although reverts on different articles do not count towards the limit, different reverts on the same article do count. So if you revert Paragraph A twice and Paragraph B twice in 24 hours, you have made four reverts and may be blocked.
• If you revert three times, wait for 24 hours and start reverting again, you may be blocked for 'gaming' the rule. The three-revert rule is an electric fence, not an entitlement.
• Although you cannot be blocked for repeatedly reverting vandalism, many Wikipedians mistake edits for vandalism when they are not. For example, edits that do not respect the neutral point of view policy are not vandalism.

The easiest way to avoid being blocked for reverting is to revert as little as possible and discuss with your fellow editors instead. Some editors limit themselves to one or no reverts a day. Select categories on Wikipedia are limited to 1RR (one revert rule). Those articles will have an edit notice to apprise you of their special status. For 1RR you may only revert one edit in the entire category per 24-hours.

Wikipedia editor SkyGazer 512 just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Nice work! I've made a few copy-edits and tweaks to the article; in particular, I renamed it to Kritsky, which is the current title, due to the fact that this is the actual genus name and there's no reason to disambiguate with a parenthetical title. Also, you don't need to put the species authority in the taxobox when it's right below in the binomial, I've changed this now; I've also fixed a few minor spacing issues as seen in this edit. Thanks for creating this!

good work !

You have been doing consistently very reliable work, and, as an administrator, I have therefore given you the "autopatrolled" user right. The only difference is makes is that your new articles will no longer be marked in the list of new articles that need review, which lets us new page patrollers concentrate on the ones that might be problems.

DYK for Humbertium covidum

On 5 March 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Humbertium covidum, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the flatworm Humbertium covidum (pictured), named after the COVID-19 pandemic, was classified in a study written mostly during the initial lockdown? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Humbertium covidum. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Humbertium covidum), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.
