WikiProject Beetles

Hi! While categorizing and tagging Copelatus pages, I noticed that all the 470 species of Copelatus were created by you (except for a new addition). I think you will be interested in WikiProject Beetles. Please join WikiProject Beetles today! Gug01 (talk) 18:03, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Actually, I just realized that only some of those pages were created by you. But still. Gug01 (talk) 16:30, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

WikiCup 2015 March newsletter

One of several of Godot13's quality submissions during round 1

That's it, the first round is done, sign-ups are closed and we're into round 2. 64 competitors made it into this round, and are now broken into eight groups of eight. The top two of each group will go through to round 3, and then the top scoring 16 "wildcards" across all groups. Round 1 saw some interesting work on some very important articles, with the round leader Australia Freikorp (submissions) owing most of his 622 points scored to a Featured Article on the 2001 film Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within which qualified for a times-two multiplier. This is a higher score than in previous years, as Smithsonian Institution Godot13 (submissions) had 500 points in 2014 at the end of round 1, and our very own judge, Colorado Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) led round 1 with 601 points in 2013.

In addition to Freikorp's work, some other important articles and pictures were improved during round one, here's a snapshot of a few of them:

You may also wish to know that The Core Contest is running through the month of March. Head there for further details - they even have actual prizes!

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Adrienne Thomas

Hi! I notice you userspaced a page whcih had been started about Adrienne Thomas, so you may be interested I've put another page up. Dsp13 (talk) 20:39, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi @Dsp13: thank you for letting me know! I did start an article about Adrienne back in 2012, but then was not sure it would last in the negative atmosphere on Wikipedia at the time, so I moved it back to my userspace. It's great that you have got her into the mainspace for good! Thank you for your hard work. Thine Antique Pen (talk) 22:54, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

WikiCup 2015 May newsletter

C/2014 Q2 (Lovejoy) is a long-period comet discovered on 17 August 2014 by Terry Lovejoy; and is one of several Featured Pictures worked up by India The Herald (submissions) during the second round.

The second round one has all wrapped up, and round three has now begun! Congratulations to the 34 contestants who have made it through, but well done and thank you to all contestants who took part in our second round. Leading the way overall was Belarus Cas Liber (submissions) in Group B with a total of 777 points for a variety of contributions including Good Articles on Corona Borealis and Microscopium - both of which received the maximum bonus.

Special credit must be given to a number of high importance articles improved during the second round.

The points varied across groups, with the lowest score required to gain automatic qualification was 68 in Group A - meanwhile the second place score in Group H was 404, which would have been high enough to win all but one of the other Groups! As well as the top two of each group automatically going through to the third round, a minimum score of 55 was required for a wildcard competitor to go through. We had a three-way tie at 55 points and all three have qualified for the next round, in the spirit of fairness. The third round ends on June 28, with the top two in each group progressing automatically while the remaining 16 highest scorers across all four groups go through as wildcards. Good luck to all competitors for the third round! Figureskatingfan (talk · contribs · email), Miyagawa (talk · contribs · email) and Sturmvogel 66 (talk · contribs · email) 16:48, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

I heard your edits today.

I frequently listen to a website called Listen to Wikipedia, it plays notes, with pitch and intensity based on the size of the edits in the recent changes feed. You should hear it when your recent category fixes were going live. It was very beautiful. Imagine a quick wind running through wind chimes and the chimes suddenly becoming still. I thought I share it with you. --Adam in MO Talk 19:57, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

New articles

Thanks for creating all of those new beetle articles. Do you use a script to parse information from Carabidae of the World in doing so? North America1000 10:32, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

No, I do not use a script. I create my articles manually to avoid my creations falling under the bot policy, but do use a template which I can easily input data into to allow me to create articles quickly and with a reduced risk of human error (human errors such as only inputting the date of description once instead of three times (taxobox, article body and category)). Thine Antique Pen (talk) 10:38, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply. I remember a quite while back communicating with a user who used a bot to create articles, but I don't remember who it was. Nice use of the template, and these stubs can always be expanded by various users over the years. I'm a fan of the life sciences, so I value Wikipedia covering all living organisms.
