Smooth toadfish at TFA

Hi Cas, this is one of yours, promoted at FAC in 2016. I asked Z1720 to pick a few TFA reruns for October, and this was one of his selections. The article seems in good shape to me to run on October 28, and I trust your work, but let me know if you notice that any significant problems have crept in over the years. Btw, in the very unlikely event that I have to pull one of the October TFAs on short notice, this would be my choice for the article to swap in. - Dank (push to talk) 03:01, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Request for Mentorship for first FAC

Good afternoon Casliber, I was hoping I could request you as a mentor for my first FAC, Hypericum sechmenii. I already asked for input from another editor, who gave me some advice and directed me to Peer Review (where my request languished and an administrator told me to seek a mentor). I just want to make sure I am not missing any MOS requirements, and would like my first trip to FAC to be constructive and have a good chance of success, so I am not deterred from the process in the future.

Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca

I assume this is on your watchlist, but... It's recently attracted edits from a few users claiming that the mushroom is edible. I've reverted to be on the safe side, but it may warrant a closer look. Perhaps 'disputed' would be a fair description, though perhaps nothing needs to be changed. Josh Milburn (talk) 22:02, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

The WikiCup has run every year since 2007.

Please get in touch if you are interested. Next year's competition will hopefully begin on 1 January 2024. You are invited to sign up to participate in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors. It only remains to congratulate our worthy winners once again and thank all participants for their involvement!
