Would you be interested in putting moss lawns up for Did-you-know, Clovermoss? I think it would be a good one. If so, I will nominate, and write content if you like. Nomination needs to be done within a week of article creation, so I need to know if you want to do it soon, but the DYK process takes some time. HLHJ (talk) 04:16, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
@HLHJ: Maybe. Is there enough time left to do DYK? I have some time this evening that I could use to expand the article. You can do anything you'd like to improve it as well. Clovermoss(talk)20:45, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
There is definitely time. Template talk:Did you know has the instructions; I'm sure there's more than enough material, and you could nominate it today (or I could; have you done DYK before?). I will go add some material to the article now. HLHJ (talk) 00:33, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
DYK noms need at least 1500 characters of prose. Currently, I have about 910. I can probably expand the article to that point before the 7-day deadline, but I need to do stuff like eat dinner first. Clovermoss(talk)00:54, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
My edit more than 5x expanded it, so we have another week to nominate it! Please feel free to remove or rearrange, I'm not sure the section structure is a good one. HLHJ (talk) 03:19, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
@HLHJ: Thank you. You're amazing! After dinner I fell asleep (I only meant to take a quick nap but now it's morning). It's already made my day to see this. Once again, thank you! Clovermoss(talk)14:15, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
Oops. I realize I've let this slip; it should have been nominated some hours ago. We can probably still do it, or we can let it go. Not fashed either way. HLHJ (talk) 19:00, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
@HLHJ: I'm not too concerned either way, either. I think that if you want to do DYK, you should get the credit since you wrote most of the content. Clovermoss(talk)19:03, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
Multiple credits for a DYK are standard, so we'd both get credits. I was once given a co-credit on European pilchard just for adding some photos, and a definition of some of the terms used to market it! HLHJ (talk) 19:33, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
@HLHJ: Alright, but I'm not sure what I would choose as a hook. Maybe something like: did you know that a moss lawn can be used as living mulch? Maybe something about its waste usage in comparison to grass lawns, or being drought-resistant. Any ideas? Clovermoss(talk)20:23, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
I could add a bit of content about some people weeding moss out of their grass lawns, while others weed grass out of their moss lawns; that might be hooky. Drought-resistance sounds good; only needing a fraction of the water inputs, say. "Mulch" might only be of interest to gardeners, but the same could be said of weeding. I rather like the moss that swallows conifer needles, but that could do with more content and I don't know how hooky it is. A reviewer can also suggest hooks. We are a bit late, so we should probably either nom right away and see if they will accept it, or just not worry about it. HLHJ (talk) 02:18, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
@HLHJ: A bit late on my end, but I also wish you a good weekend! I've been pretty busy myself, as I went to a birthday party. I also learned some new words thanks to you and Wikitionary. Clovermoss(talk)22:27, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
This is English Wikipedia's picture of the day today. I think that you might like it, and if you're interested enough in it, you could write about it for next week's What's making you happy this week? and "On the bright side". From what I know of you, I think that this is a POTD that you would like. File:Jaroslava Mucha by Alfons Mucha.jpg↠Pine(✉)21:51, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
@Pine: Thank you for sharing this with me, Pine. I don't always get the chance to take a look at the main page, so I appreciate your initiative. I also admire the thoughtfulness of thinking ahead for next week's content. Clovermoss(talk)22:22, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
Hey Clovermoss, hope you're keeping well in all the current chaos? I wondered whether you were planning to go back and finish off that CVUA exam at some point? If it's just something you're not so interested in any more, it's really no problem - but if you're stuck on any of the questions, I'd be happy to give you a hint of which guideline page you might want to look at. Cheers GirthSummit (blether)18:44, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
@Girth Summit: I'm still interested! When I have the time, I've been spending it actually fighting vandalism instead of CVUA. I have been doing a lot else on-wiki as well. I'm not stuck, and I promise to take some time to look at it today. If I need help with anything, I'll be sure to ask. Thanks for checking in with me and for the offer to give me a hint if I need it. I appreciate the thoughfulness. I'm sorry for taking so long to get through all this. At least I have more time to do things with March Break being extended. Clovermoss(talk)18:50, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
@Girth Summit: This afternoon and evening was busier than I expected and I didn't get around to it. I'm going to go to sleep now. I did take some time to look at the remaining questions, but I don't think I'll be able to answer any until tomorrow. Clovermoss(talk)05:56, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
My son has made it thru his Corornavirus quarantine
Finding you busy at the Signpost!
Hello Clovermoss, Buster7 has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Go on, smile! Cheers, and happy editing!

@Buster7: Thanks for the smile. I've been collaborating with Pine on On The Bright Side and What's Making You Happy This Week? (weekly emails sent out on wikimedia-L) since January. I hope your son is doing better. Clovermoss(talk)00:29, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
Congrats
The Signpost Barnstar
for an outstanding article in the March 2020 issue
Congratulations from both myself and all of the instructors at the Counter Vandalism Unit Academy on your successful completion of the Counter Vandalism Unit Academy. You completed your final exam with a score of 99%. Well done! Further information on your achievement can be found here.
It has been a real pleasure working with you these past few months - thank you for volunteering to help keep Wikipedia free of vandalism, and putting in so much work during the course. Your responses always showed that you were taking your time to read and consider the relevant policies and how they are applied - it's been great to work with someone so consistently thoughtful. Hope to see you around! GirthSummit (blether)12:12, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Clover, thank you very much for your kind nomination. What a lovely surprise!
I don't know what else to say other than Thank you for noticing, and for appreciating the bits and pieces I have done around here! All the best, and stay safe.....Peter K. Taylor, otherwise known as PKT(alk)15:48, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
@PKT: You're welcome! I noticed that you were on my watchlist a lot, saw how much you've contributed to other areas, and thought you were a great person to nominate for Editor of the Week. All the best to you as well, Clovermoss(talk)16:19, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
I think it may be time to get out the EotW Binocs and scout the horizon for some lucky candidates. The Queue is down to five which is more than healthy but a nice cushion is much more relaxing. Hope all is good with you and your family and friends. TRA! ―Buster7☎15:58, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
Sharing My Thoughts In The Time Of Covid19
I started my search with a focus on editors working on articles about the virus. It's very difficult to pick one over another. Guest2625 popped up on my range finder. Low edit count but recent activity. I guess what I'm searching for is someone that is really stirring the "Coronavirus Article Stew" in various places and nominate them as a representative of all the other involved editors. Not that Guest is that editor...not sure...just Sharing My Thoughts In The Time Of Covid19... ―Buster7☎16:41, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
Just now realized The Signpost: 29 March 2020 was a good source...but who do we pick????
Wikimedia community responds to COVID-19... The opening statement by Bri and Bluerasberry is what I have in mind. Maybe give the Award to the Project rather than an individual?
Searching for Extraordinary contributors in extraordinary times, Any one of these would fit the bill! ―Buster7☎16:58, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
In response to Buster7's request: unfortunately I don't have much to add; I can't remember reading any Wikipedia articles related to Covid-19, and I don't have a sense of how the collaborative editing process is faring. Although my personal preference has been to recognize specific people for specific actions, as this provides a better sense of accomplishment for the recipient, if there are a lot of unsung heroes under these specific circumstances, then a group award may be a good approach. We can all use encouragement during these difficult times! isaacl (talk) 21:58, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
It is such a strange time for all of us. Memorable in so many good/bad ways. I want to reach out in real life to everyone that's doing their part to get us through this nightmare. Not able to do that so I turn to WP and the Eddy Award. Anyway, there are five weeks of nominees in the Queue so there is no rush. I'm gonna take a pass on an award today...on Easter Sunday. Best to you both. ―Buster7☎07:21, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi Buster7 and isaacl. There are a lot of individiduals active at WP:COVID-19 that you might want to consider. There's also a few people that stand out to me in particular, if you're interested. The Signpost list is another good idea. Yes, it is such a strange time for us all! I'm in grade 12, so there's the disappointment of missing the last few months of high school, the assemblies, prom, the grad ceremonies, etc. I hope certain things will be delayed into whenever we can have them (even if it's next year) instead of just cancelled, but we haven't heard much about anything yet. What I do know is that the school closure date has been extended again, more information will be given by the Minister of Education soon, and I'll still be able to graduate. So many other people are dealing with so much right now. Greiving families, parents taking care of their children, people who have lost their jobs, everyone staying at home to try to flatten the curve, and countless other difficult situations. Clovermoss(talk)17:33, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi Clovermoss, I hope everything that's really important to you gets to happen eventually for you. But for the rest of your life this will be a reference point, one of those strange times when the world was so different. I was a child during the 1973 oil shock and the three day week, so I know to keep a few candles in the house and that the veneer of normality is thinner than most people realise. Stay safe, good to see you around when you have time to be here. ϢereSpielChequers08:50, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
I'm okay. Thank you Pine and Buster7 for the well wishes. It's nice to know that people care, and that moss garden and clover field is beautiful! I have had real life stuff happen, and accessing another device after my tablet broke took longer than I thought it would. Clovermoss(talk)17:08, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi Clovermoss, thank you for letting Buster7 and I know that you're OK. I'll follow up with you through email. ↠Pine(✉)19:51, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

TheWikiWizard - April 2020
Hello, Clovermoss! Here is the April 2020 issue of TheWikiWizard.
My sincere thanks for your kind words in the nomination for Editor of the Week! The award was very unexpected (and equally undeserved), but I I'll try to live up to it - which I guess is partly the point! Very best wishes. JezGrove (talk) 22:03, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi Nick Moyes, I haven't heard from Clovermoss in awhile either. Given her comments shortly before she stopped editing, I am somewhat worried. I hope that we will hear from her. ↠Pine(✉)18:11, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi Pine and Nick Moyes. I'm still alive. I was hospitalized, so I wasn't able to edit. I'm doing better now, but I'm dealing with a lot of other things in my life. I also have a lot of schoolwork to catch up on, so that will be my priotory once my life starts getting back to normal. Clovermoss(talk)15:43, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
Oh, I'm real sorry to hear that, and I hope you're well on the way to recovery, and coping with catching up on the schoolwork. We all missed you, you know! Nick Moyes (talk) 17:57, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi Clovermoss, thank you very much for letting us know. I wish you well. I would be glad to keep in contact occasionally through email, but I understand if that is not possible. Taking care of oneself is important. With gratitude, ↠Pine(✉)19:25, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
The Editor of the Week initiative has been recognizing editors since 2013 for their hard work and dedication. Editing Wikipedia can be disheartening and tedious at times; the weekly Editor of the Week award lets its recipients know that their positive behaviour and collaborative spirit is appreciated. The response from the honorees has been enthusiastic and thankful.
The list of nominees is running short, and so new nominations are needed for consideration. Have you come across someone in your editing circle who deserves a pat on the back for improving article prose regularly, making it easier to understand? Or perhaps someone has stepped in to mediate a contentious dispute, and did an excellent job. Do you know someone who hasn't received many accolades and is deserving of greater renown? Is there an editor who does lots of little tasks well, such as cleaning up a citation.

William Mariner was an Englishman who lived in Tonga from 29 November 1806 to (probably) 8 November 1810. He later published Tonga Islands, an account of his experiences that is now one of the major sources of information on Tonga before it was significantly influenced by European culture and Christianity. Pictured is Mariner in Tongan attire.
I’m a graduate student researcher undertaking a study on how women learn to participate in Wikipedia community and factors that enable them to persist as contributors. I’m currently seeking individuals who self-identify as women and actively participate in Wikipedia authorship, and you seem to fit this criteria. I'm asking potential participants to sit down with me for an hour long Zoom, Skype, or phone call. Would you be interested in interviewing for this project? Thank you for considering.
