Assessing articles[edit]
Aha, as far as Santalum acuminatum, nobody had gotten round to upgrading it in a while. :)
Here is a wikiproject asssessment page - Wikipedia:WikiProject_Birds/Assessment - that gives a rough example of how it goes. And here is the main page discussing assessment --> Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment.
I use it as a guide more than anything else, so that a bot can run through later and give a good overview such as this - Wikipedia:WikiProject_Birds/Assessment#Statistics - for the prids wikiproject.
Etiquette varies - I happily self rate anything I do up to a C, or sometimes B, but for GA, A and FA there are external review processes. A I have never used. I find the beauty of GA and FA as 'stable points' - good for high-traffic articles which erode over time from passers-by adding or removing material willy-milly. Have a read :) Casliber (talk · contribs) 00:53, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
PS: I just chekced - there is one for plants as well --> Wikipedia:WikiProject_Plants/Assessment Casliber (talk · contribs) 00:54, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
DYK for Tasmannia lanceolata[edit]
|
On August 20, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Tasmannia lanceolata, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |
....and now you stick messages like the above over your userpage, like sticking decals all over your car or filing cabinet etc. Casliber (talk · contribs) 20:35, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi! I'm serving as the wikipedian-in-residence at the Smithsonian Institution Archives until June! One of my goals as resident, is to work with Wikipedians and staff to improve content on Wikipedia about people who have collections held in the Archives - most of these are scientists who held roles within the Smithsonian and/or federal government. I thought you might like to participate since you are interested in the sciences! Sign up to participate here and dive into articles needing expansion and creation on our to-do list. Feel free to make a request for images or materials at the request page, and of course, if you share your successes at the outcomes page you will receive the SIA barnstar! Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to your participation! Sarah (talk) 01:32, 19 April 2012 (UTC) |
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Proposed deletion of 2009 Vanuatu earthquakes[edit]
The article 2009 Vanuatu earthquakes has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- WikiProject Earthquakes is not documenting insignificant events like this one, either as standalone articles or as list entries. Our efforts are instead being focused on creating complete, interesting, and encyclopedic articles that require significant coverage. This one fails WP:EVENT and our own notability guidelines because of the following concerns:
- Low intensity (IV (Light))
- No injuries, deaths, or damage
- No papers from the scientific community
- Only a small percentage of the 58 M7 or greater events that occurred between 1909 and 2001 were notable. This sequence seems to fall into the same category.
This USGS entry for the event tells part of the story:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
