Anon sock of User:Laxmi Narayan Maharana?
Hello. This draft was just submitted for the second time, following salt of the original. Note that the image was uploaded to Commons by another glocked sock of same. Wikishovel (talk) 13:32, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
- Wikishovel, thanks, deleted and blocked Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:44, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hi both (
Courtesy ping: Wikishovel), we have Draft:Laxmi Maharana created this morning by another IP from the same 2409:40E2: range, subsequently edited by a new SPA Rtrtyu. The content isn't identical to the most recent deleted one, but similar enough IMO. I was going to block and delete, but thought I'd run it by for 2nd opinion. - Also, there's an existing (although not very recent) SPI at Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Tinkubhoi/Archive which seems connected. We should probably add these new developments there for completeness? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:07, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hi both (
- DoubleGrazing I concur with the delete and block and SPI, happy to leave it in your capable hands Jimfbleak - talk to me? 09:01, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
- Oh dear, many a disaster began in my "capable hands"... -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:33, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Mentoring for FAC
Hi, I'm contacting you because I noticed your username is listed at WP:FAM and I am interested in nominating a FAC but have never done so in the past. I'm contacting several people listed as FA mentors so if you are busy that is okay. The article is Neurocysticercosis, a parasitic brain disease. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration!

- Intentionally, I'll have a detailed look later. For now, I think, although it looks very good, it's underlinked. Just reading the start, I'd link at least lesions, immune response, hypertension, cognitive impairment, lentil, lectin, ventricle, vaccine and endemic.
- You have duplicated links for central nervous system in the lead, spinal cord and visual acuity in "Other symptoms", Praziquantel in "Prevention" and inflammation in "Outlook"
- Taenia solium is commonly known as the "pork tapeworm", I'd mention that.
- More later Jimfbleak - talk to me? 09:05, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you that's really helpful I'll make those changes! IntentionallyDense 13:43, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
- Side note: hypetension is linked as Intracranial hypertension, I'm not sure I need to link to hypertension but let me know whhat you think. ventricles is linked in the lead as well. IntentionallyDense 13:54, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
- IntentionallyDense, fine, the above are just suggestions anyway. I've been making minor edits to the article too, I think they are uncontroversial, but anything you don't like, feel free to undo. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:10, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you I really appreciate the help. IntentionallyDense 15:03, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

Redpolls
The next move is more complicated. Currently we have the following 4 articles:
- Redpoll - the genus Acanthis
- Arctic redpoll
- Common redpoll
- Lesser redpoll
IOC 14.2 has lumped the Arctic and Lesser into the Common redpoll and changed the name to simply "Redpoll". With the lump the genus Acanthis becomes monotypic and doesn't need its own article.
The IOC 14.2 note:
Treat all of the redpoll taxa as conspecific with the English name "Redpoll" (IOC 14.2) following Chesser et al. (2024) based on genomic homogeneity, continuous phenotypic variation, overlapping habitat, and lack of evidence of prolonged isolation (Mason & Taylor 2015; Funk et al. 2021).
Clements have made the same lump as has the NACC. Birdlife/IUCN already have a single species Redpoll.
If you agree, could you move the "Common redpoll" article to "Redpoll". This will replace the current genus article. I can then list the subspecies in the redpoll article, explain the lump, mention the monotypic genus, and replace the Arctic and Lesser redpoll articles with redirects. So my suggested move is:

- Aa77zz, done, even though it shrinks my life list... Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:05, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
- Many thanks. I've still got some work to do in updating the redpoll article. - Aa77zz (talk) 08:22, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
