Rejected draft reports no longer updating?
[edit]Hello William Avery,
The rejected draft reports you created doesn't seem to be updating anymore. The last information is from 10th of September: https://heber.toolforge.org/drafts/filter/20220910. All the following days show an empty report. MKFI (talk) 11:24, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for letting me know. I'll take a look later. William Avery (talk) 12:32, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
- It should be updating as usual now. I am subscribed to the appropriate mailing list, but missed this. 🤭 William Avery (talk) 15:46, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you! MKFI (talk) 06:19, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
Rejected drafts report stopped updating
[edit]Hello William Avery,
The rejected drafts report has stopped updating, the last information is from 6th of April: https://heber.toolforge.org/drafts/filter/20230406. All the following days show an empty report. Could you please check it? MKFI (talk) 08:22, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
- Fixed. The MariaDB software used by ToolForge was changed from version 10.1.44 to version 10.4.28 by this, and that broke it. William Avery (talk) 10:37, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for the quick fix! MKFI (talk) 10:44, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Invitation
[edit]Hello William Avery!
- The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
- We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
- Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
- Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
- If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.
Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

New contest!
|
This month has seen an incredible amount of activity creating high quality content, with 3 FAs, 3 FACs, and a veritable flood of GAs and GANs, not to mention the FLs and FLCs. To help maintain this high level of activity going forward, WikiProject Tree of Life is starting a new monthly rolling contest, inspired by the contest run by WikiProject Military History. This contest should hopefully help incentivize editors to contribute in ways that are less daunting than writing articles that are GA and FA-quality. Even improving articles from stub to start class, or helping other editors by reviewing their work at GAN, FAC, or FLC, gets you points, with bonus points for articles with especially high page views. Make sure to participate in any way you can, and help improve the 'pedia while having fun and winning Barnstars! |

MOS:RANGE edits
[edit]As in this edit, you mention MOS:RANGE as the reason for your edit, but the text you cite does not prohibit the use of en dashes as a separator for a date range. In fact, in the examples listed "For ranges between numbers, dates, or times, use an en dash: pp. 7–19; 64–75%; Henry VIII reigned 1509–1547" the en dash is specifically listed for a range of dates. Why bother "fixing" a non-problem that is specifically permitted by the guideline you point to as justification for your edit? Alansohn (talk) 14:05, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
- And if you read the guideline a little further it advises, "Do not mix en dashes with between or from", giving the specific example "from 1961 to 1964, not from 1961–1964". Is that not clear? William Avery (talk) 15:25, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

The first edition of our new monthly contest had perhaps a little less participation than I hoped for, but it still resulted in a huge amount of content work, mainly focussed on de-stubbing articles on little-known species, although we did also see two GAs for Holozoa and Hypericum perforatum. Overall, over 60 articles were improved, with most going from stubs or redlinks to fully fleshed out articles. The winner this month was Simongraham, who improved 21 articles about spiders, mainly to B and C class, and racked up 70 points, over twice the next highest. Hopefully, we'll continue to see such great work next month, with even more participants and even more articles improved.

Page edit help
[edit]Greetings William, I was giving your name from Senior Wikipedia Administrator, Brendan Conway. A friend of mine has a Wiki page nominated for deletion.
https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/David_Boulton
David is ill with COVID and asked me to assist him. I don't have enough experience to update his page to meet the objections to his page. David would like to keep his page. He has a list of more resources that would be helpful to document his case for keeping the page. He asked me to contact you on his behalf, my name is Kevin Manley. Are you available to help with any edits to comply with wiki standards? Kevin Manley (talk) 16:23, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
- Hi, I don't think I want to get involved with that. I would encourage you to read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. William Avery (talk) 07:59, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

Article improvement help
[edit]Hello Mr. Avery, Brendan Conway, Senior Wikipedia Administrator, recommended that I contact you regarding my Wikipedia article. It was nominated for deletion on December 10th, so I only have four days to respond.
The page is https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Gary_W._Lopez. As you will see, we have been responding to editorial requests for several months. Mr. Conway stated that it was his opinion that my work was worthy of a Wikipedia article, so I am reaching out to you for help. I was informed that your fee will be $1499. How do I pay you? Shall we communicate via email, telephone, what works for you?
Thanks for you help,

And so ends the fourth edition of the monthly rolling contest, as well as the 2023 Tree of Life Contest as a whole. This month saw simongraham win with a very impressive 120 points from 27 articles. Quetzal1964 was second with 74 points from 37 articles. The annual contest was a close race between simongraham and Quetzal1964; simongraham won first place with 256 points from 64 articles, and Quetzal1964 was second with 250 points from 146 articles. Snoteleks was third with 79 points from 33 articles. Congratulations to everyone who won this year and my gratitude to everyone else who helped raise the quality of articles in our little corner of Wikipedia this year. Additionally, a very Happy New Year to everyone in the project and here's looking forward to continuing our good work in 2024! |

[edit]Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Alexander Zhulin, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

- @Figureskatingfan, What on earth are you talking about? Did you not understand my edit summary? William Avery (talk) 22:22, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- William, I understand that your addition was a direct quote of Zhulin, but I reverted you because the language is inappropriate for an encyclopedia, as per WP:OM. A better way would be to summarize his offensive comments and state that he personally attacked Rippon and Wagner for their statements about the Russian ban from figure skating. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 04:43, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) @Figureskatingfan: No, the quote was already present. The only thing William Avery did was replace wrongly-used curly apostrophes with straight ones. AddWittyNameHere 05:57, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- @AddWittyNameHere, I see. Nonetheless, I think the quote is inappropriate. I'm happy to make the change myself. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 06:04, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Sydney
[edit]Hey, just a heads up as I saw that you reviewed a pending change at Sydney. Consensus is that native Indigenous names of places in Australia should not be added to the infobox unless backed up by a reliable source AND that the name refers to the entire metropolitan area, and not just one singular part of the city, e.g. the name only refers to the CBD (Australian English)/downtown (American English) or in some instances, the native name only refers to an area of the city between two particular rivers, i.e. the native names are loosely defined. Cheers, Fork99 (talk) 05:49, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- But the the edit was not vandalism, therefore it deserved to be approved. William Avery (talk) 06:09, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, I'm aware of that since I'm a pending changes reviewer too, but it would have been reverted anyways, and reviewers are allowed to use discretion to undo an edit if it would have been reverted anyways. Plus, this was actually one of the the reasons why Sydney was pending changes protected. Fork99 (talk) 21:20, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

William, there is an IP editor at curry who has objected violently to the infobox's claim, and then (paradoxically) to its removal. They've now extended the Lizzie Collingham quotation to 73 words, which may be problematic as a fair usage. I could revert it but I've already made 2 changes, one of them certainly a revert, and they may not take kindly if I revert something which they feel is reasonable. Would you mind taking a look? Many thanks, Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:53, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Many thanks. You may like to note that someone, very possibly the IP in question, has today created an account and has edited Curry and nothing else ... with at least one definite POV edit. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:17, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
