Request for mentoring
[edit]Hello! I'm want to submit the Stingless bee artile as FAC. I found your username in a list of possible mentors and you were the only one with a biology background. Do you think you can help me with this? Thanks Sintropepe (talk) 19:29, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, looks interesting. But before FAC, I would recommend opening a WP:peer review for it, after that nominate it for WP:Good Article, and lastly FAC. FunkMonk (talk) 19:40, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Invitation to participate in a research
[edit]Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind Regards,

Brachauchenius (again)
[edit]Hello or good evening FunkMonk, in view of the many surprisingly free acess sources to which I have concerning this animal, I am ready to accept that you be my mentor in order to expand this article. Cordially, Amirani1746 (talk) 18:33, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
- Great! Seems you know the ropes about article expansion and GAN by now, so just tell me at what point I should comment on some of the text or if you have any questions. FunkMonk (talk) 21:05, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
- FunkMonk It seems that it will be more preferable to start with the "Research history", with a special subchapter dedicated to formerly specimens attributed. Amirani1746 (talk) 21:09, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, if you mean section order, articles usually have discovery/history sections first, but you can of course start expanding whichever you like first. There is also an ok selection of additional images on Commons for when the article expands. FunkMonk (talk) 21:50, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
- Actually, I've already started a draft on Wikipedia in French, but I think that if you start writing first I'll catch up with you. For my part, I want to point out that I'm quite interested moi the discovery and classification section than other, but than should be ok. Amirani1746 (talk) 22:25, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
- Ah, so you mean more of a collaboration. As a mentor, I would work more as an overseer and make suggestions I think would make it ready for a FAC nomination. Unfortunately I don't have time for actual writing myself for the foreseeable future. FunkMonk (talk) 22:50, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
- Well, in not long the article should receive its first expansion in not long. I will prevent when it is done. Amirani1746 (talk) 06:06, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- Sounds good! FunkMonk (talk) 10:02, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- FunkMonk The first part of the expansion has already started, I imagine this will give what this chapter is supposed to look like ! Amirani1746 (talk) 20:30, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you today for Atrociraptor, introduced as "the first FAC about a dromaeosaurid (or "raptor") dinosaur in more than a decade, and this particular genus has recently become (in)famous as antagonist in a recent Jurassic World movie. Because their portrayal in that film is atrociously inaccurate, improving this article will hopefully set the record straight."! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:04, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
