Disambiguation link notification for March 21

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Rockhead (fish), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Washington (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Missing species

Hello Wilhelmina, another update with some genera with missing species pages: Melanarctia, Popoudina, Pseudoradiarctia, Radiarctia and a very big one: Spilarctia. Regarding this last genus: it has very good coverage on wikispecies. Could you, when making species pages, use wikispecies as a source and add the synonyms also (including the redirect)? This would save me a lot of extra work. Cheers! Ruigeroeland (talk) 11:59, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

At long last, done! As you’ll see, I’ve added some shortening to my sig! (talk) 04:47, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
Nice work! I have another batch (there were more, but I already fixed those): Tigrioides, Sarosa, Poliopastea and Rhabdatomis. There is also Palearctia. Regarding this last genus: this one also has very good coverage on wikispecies. Could you, when making species pages, use wikispecies as a source and add the synonyms also (including the redirect)? Please also add the subspecies if you don't mind.. No worries though, this genus is very much smaller than Spilarctia was.. :) Ruigeroeland (talk) 17:18, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
Done! :) As you’ll see, I’ve added some shortening to my sig! (talk) 17:44, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

Just curious.

What is up with you and User:Ruigeroeland? Because this looks rather... anomalous. Keφr 12:51, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

Anomalous? Really? I thank everyone I'm in a partnership or collaboration with - the thank button saves a lot of talk-page time. As you’ll see, I’ve added some shortening to my sig! (talk) 17:24, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

A pie for you!

Thank you so much for all the work you do here -- it is much appreciated! Safety Cap (talk) 12:25, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
Oh, you're very welcome! Now it is my turn to thank you for dessert! :) As you’ll see, I’ve added some shortening to my sig! (talk) 18:37, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Cheers Elephant

Dear Wilhelmina,

Per the Cheers Elephant article(http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Cheers_Elephant), I am curious as to why it was rejected. I recall the rejection asking for notable sources, but I'm having trouble seeing what's inadequate as 6 independent sources were used.

Myself and AndrewRLM have taken time to put together all of the article's information with clear citations as I'm wondering what we could be doing better. Could you please review the article and specifically cite areas needing improvement so we can meet Misplaced Pages's standards of publishing?

Thank you, Alex — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.240.171.160 (talk) 05:12, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

March 2014

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Fringelip snake-eel may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

Disambiguation link notification for March 28

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Western Atlantic finless eel, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page St. Helena Island (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

WikiCup 2014 March newsletter

A quick update as we are half way through round two of this year's competition. WikiCup newcomer Smithsonian Institution Godot13 (submissions) (Pool E) leads, having produced a massive set of featured pictures for Silver certificate (United States), an article also brought to featured list status. Former finalist Oh, better far to live and die / Under the brave black flag I fly... Adam Cuerden (submissions) (Pool G) is in second, which he owes mostly to his work with historical images, including a number of images from Urania's Mirror, an article also brought to good status. 2010 champion (Pool C) is third overall, thanks to contributions relating to naval history, including the newly featured Japanese battleship Nagato. Rhodesia Cliftonian (submissions), who currently leads Pool A and is sixth overall, takes the title for the highest scoring individual article of the competition so far, with the top importance featured article Ian Smith.

With 26 people having already scored over 100 points, it is likely that well over 100 points will be needed to secure a place in round 3. Recent years have required 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) and 100 (2010). Remember that only 64 will progress to round 3 at the end of April. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page; if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally. 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 Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!
