Hi Eewilson, I have been creating drafts for List of Dracophyllum species as well as a template and realising there are so many red links, do you think I should spam stubs, to improve later? Thanks, Dracophyllum 11:27, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Thank you very much
[edit]The Premium Reviewer Barnstar | ||
Hi, Eewilson, Thank you very much for your thorough review, editing, advice, and hard work on the Jane Ingham article. I consider you joint author of the article as you improved it so much during your review. It has been a joy to work with you, and above all, your knowledge and experience has been a complete education for me. I learnt more in a week working with you than in my entire time here on Wikipedia. I am also looking forward to working with again in the future, thank you very much. Gricharduk (talk) 08:29, 13 October 2021 (UTC) |
In appreciation
[edit]The Reviewers Award | ||
By the authority vested in me by myself it gives me great pleasure to present you with this award in recognition of the thorough, detailed and actionable reviews you have carried out at FAC. This work is very much appreciated. Gog the Mild (talk) 22:15, 17 October 2021 (UTC) |
Ha! I hadn't noticed the award above. Clearly the community is coming to a consensus. . Gog the Mild (talk) 22:16, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
- Gog the Mild This makes me a little weepy. Thank you! Eewilson (talk) 22:18, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
Some thoughts

I remember in the GA review I requested you remove the long captions on the root images, but now I wonder whether you really need four separate images just of the root structure... Also I would recommend testing out some more multiple image blocks – particularly in the description and ecology sections. Dracophyllum 09:15, 29 October 2021 (UTC) Dracophyllum do you mean in the Symphyotrichum lateriflorum article? I just submitted S. Novae-angliae for GA. S. Lateriflorum is just waiting on someone to press GO for FA. Maybe it only needs one caudex photo, you’re thinking? Eewilson (talk) 10:14, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

- Haha! Yes we have! Do you think it's too much? The list? :) Eewilson (talk) 07:50, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
- Congratulations Eewilson! It is a fabulous article and throughly deserves to be a featured article. Gricharduk (talk) 15:50, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

Looks good. There are a bunch of reviewers (or have been; things have been slowing down lately) who will jump in to make sure that articles get one support so they don't fail prematurely. I'll wait for one of those folks to review, then I'll jump in. - Dank (push to talk) 04:33, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you! Eewilson (talk) 04:36, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for the offer of help on my plant list ... I've run into some problems, and I'm going to withdraw it from FLC and continue work on the list in my userspace. I'll keep it linked from my main user page. Your input is welcome any time. - Dank (push to talk) 15:44, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
- Dank, no problem. Keep doing your good work. :) Eewilson (talk) 17:43, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
- FWIW, it was puzzling that I didn't pick up a 3rd support on my previous plant list for months (until your support), and it seems odd to me that your nomination doesn't have any supports yet. There's been some evidence this year that FLC is slowing down, but it doesn't appear to be broken, and processes like FLC tend to be sturdy over the long run (with occasional hiccups). Science-y lists at FLC (as well as articles at FAC) sometimes have a harder time ... because science puts constraints on what we can do, above and beyond the constraints that other nominators are dealing with. Patience might work ... or not, I'm not sure. If it goes on much longer, then we should probably start talking with some of the regular reviewers and see if there's something we need to be doing. - Dank (push to talk) 15:30, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
- Dank, Thank you. I need to be patient. Just because we have worked on something for months and months and months does not mean it is important to anyone else. The frustration of being a Wikipedia editor. Eewilson (talk) 02:52, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
- Ain't that the truth. - Dank (push to talk) 02:54, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

DYK for Symphyotrichum potosinum
[edit]On 19 November 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Symphyotrichum potosinum, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that despite its common name of Santa Rita Mountain aster, Symphyotrichum potosinum can no longer be found in the Santa Rita Mountains of Arizona? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Symphyotrichum potosinum. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Symphyotrichum potosinum), 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.

Excellent work
[edit]Amazing work as always on your updated list, I'm very busy at the moment but taking some time to write something new has been calming. I see you are also writing about a favourite botanist of yours. I'm writing about Harry Allan, one of the greatest New Zealand botanists... Happy editing! Dracophyllum 08:58, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you, Dracophyllum! Yes, I am working on John C. Semple, my favorite. Right now, I'm just formatting his publications, including finding links to them. I know the long list won't be in the article, but it will be nice to have them for future reference. And it is work that doesn't require too much thinking. It is difficult to find published personal information for living people, so most of the article will be a focus on his work, and there is much of it. I look forward to reading your writing, as always. :) Eewilson (talk) 09:36, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
- Dracophyllum, I hope everything is okay. Take care of yourself. It's a holiday week here in the US (Thanksgiving is tomorrow). Traditionally, it means people cook large turkeys and other food for hours on end to then stuff themselves and then nap from the Tryptophan in the turkey (I'm vegetarian, so I save the bird), and interact with family whom they don't like and typically only see when they have to. Mine is not like that. It will be relaxing. :) Eewilson (talk) 17:55, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
Symphyotrichum lateriflorum scheduled for TFA
[edit]This is to let you know that the Symphyotrichum lateriflorum article has been scheduled as today's featured article for January 5, 2022. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/January 5, 2022, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.
For Featured Articles promoted recently, there will be an existing blurb linked from the FAC talk page, which is likely to be transferred to the TFA page by a coordinator at some point.
We suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks! Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:42, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for Symphyotrichum lateriflorum, about "the vascular plant species Symphyotrichum lateriflorum in the family Asteraceae. Symphyotrichum is a genus of about 96 asters native to the Americas. Most in the Northern Hemisphere bloom August–October, some as late as November. There are very few GA articles from this family, and this is the first for this genus. It has received only positive responses on its content and photographs during 2021, and I think it would be a great addition to the FA list and, if possible, one to appear during this Fall season (although obviously only if possible)."! - Nice to meet you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:20, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
Precious
[edit]Symphyotrichum
Thank you for quality articles around the list of Symphyotrichum species, such as Symphyotrichum lateriflorum, Symphyotrichum molle, Symphyotrichum potosinum and Symphyotrichum novae-angliae, for Jane Ingham and Johanna Quaas, for excellent reviewing, - Elizabeth, you are an awesome Wikipedian!
You are recipient no. 2691 of Precious, a prize of QAI. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:59, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- Gerda Arendt, Aww! You gave me PRECIOUS! I'm so happy! I've seen them on others' user pages and was alittle jelly. Thank you! Today's a good day. – Elizabeth (Eewilson) (tag or ping me) (talk) 17:02, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- ... and 7 and 8 Jan as well, when the two DYK will appear and the TFA will still be mentioned on the Main page! I'm always amazed how much attention that gets! I like a benign cat adoring rats ;) - I keep a diary of my pics, DYK? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:03, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- Gerda Arendt, and how much vandalism it gets! I'll take a look at your diary. I DNK that. My benign cats "adore" my rats from afar, although if they had been brought up from kittens with them, they might have unusual interspecies friendships. I very rarely adopt kittens or baby rats (also called kittens). :) – Elizabeth (Eewilson) (tag or ping me) (talk) 18:18, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Apologies
[edit]Sorry for ghosting on you after promising to do a GA review--the semester ramped up just after that and with one thing and another, I've been taking a pretty extended break from editing. I'm going back on break now, so this is a relatively good time for me if you'd like me to look at any Symphotrichum articles.
Remind me next fall, and I can get you a picture of S. pilosum var. pringlei if you need one. We have it growing near S. depauperatum at some of our serpentine barrens here, and there is a marked difference in appearance...some of us have been questioning whether the latter species is in fact present at Soldiers Delight. Choess (talk) 17:26, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
- Choess, thank you! I will take you up on those photos and will remind you. I was just thinking about how the sorry little S. pilosum article needs improvement, that it should be a near-future project, and that adding good pics of var. pringlei would be a part of that, if I could find them. You must have been reading my mind!
- Regarding a Symphyotrichum article, there are two possibilities here. Of lesser importance right now is Symphyotrichum novae-angliae. It is in the queue to be reviewed for GA.
- The other is an entirely revamped List of Symphyotrichum species, which is awaiting on a review as a FLC. It has had a review for accessibility but nothing else. If you have time and the desire, looking at it is more of a priority because eventually, they get archived if there has been no review interest. :/ Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Symphyotrichum species/archive1. I would oh so appreciate it, and thank you for the apology!
- Symphyotrichum lateriflorum passed GA, passed and was promoted to FA, and will be TFA on January 5th! :) Eewilson (talk) 18:14, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
