Great hook!
The hook you suggested for my marching fire DYK really struck gold! Of course, General Patton is going to get more clicks than a dry definition of the tactic... The hook got 25,700 hits, the second highest quantity I've ever gotten, after aircraft camouflage. Thanks for the great hook! Binksternet (talk) 16:48, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm very pleased to hear it - an excellent result! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:21, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to the 2012 WikiCup
Hello, and welcome to the 2012 WikiCup! The competition officially began at the start of 2012 (UTC), and so you are free to claim any content from after that time. Your submission page, where you must note any content for which you wish to claim points, can be found here, and formatting instructions can be found in hidden comments on the page. A bot will then update the main table, which can be seen on the WikiCup page. The full rules for what will and will not be awarded points can be found at WikiCup/Scoring. There's also a section on that page listing the changes that have been made to the rules this year, so that experienced participants can get up-to-date in a few seconds. One point of which we must remind everyone; you may only claim points for content upon which you have done significant work, and which you have nominated, in 2012. For instance, articles written or good article reviews started in 2011 are not eligible for points.

This round will last until late February, and signups will remain open until the middle of February. If you know of anyone who may like to take part, please let them know about the comeptition; the more the merrier! At the end of this round, the top 64 scorers will progress to the next round, where their scores will reset, and they will be split into pools. Note that, by default, you have been added to our newsletter list; we will be in contact at the end of every month with news. You're welcome to remove yourself from this list if you do not wish to hear from us. Conversely, those interested in following the competition are more than welcome to add themselves to the list. Please direct any questions towards the judges, or on the WikiCup talk page. Good luck! J Milburn (talk) and The ed17 (talk) 13:27, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Rhinesomus DYK
This has one issue. Very nice otherwise. Pumpkin Sky  talk  13:34, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I think the link you mention is in fact correct, but there is something strange about the FishBase site. Every time I move away from the main page I am looking at to a subpage, and then want to go back again, I find I have to reload the original url. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:49, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I went to the base url and did a search and changed the article url accordingly. I'll go approve the DYK now. Pumpkin Sky   talk  14:37, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I still get "Not Found The requested URL /summary/Rhinesomus-triqueter.html was not found on this server." with the one you had in the article and in the one you just put on the nom page. So perhaps we should stick with the one I just changed the article to. DYK approved. Pumpkin Sky   talk  14:40, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:00, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Mahaviracharita
Thanks for reviewing the hook and copyediting the article. If you have time, can you please copyedit Ahalya, which will be nominated to FAC following a copyedit? A request is pending at the GOCE. -- Redtigerxyz Talk 18:17, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, Ahalya is rather a large article, but I will have a go at it over the next few days. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:36, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot. Take your time. Since the result is going like Mahaviracharita, it is definitely worth the wait. :)-- Redtigerxyz Talk 18:56, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup/History/2012/Submissions/Cwmhiraeth
Hey, I'm afraid I have had to remove Stegastes leucostictus from your list of DYK articles, as the article was written and nominated in 2011, making it ineligible for points in this year's competition. On a personal note, loving the articles; just the sort of subject I like to review at GAR, so I'll watch out for any nominations! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me on my talk page. Thanks, J Milburn (talk) 22:38, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Big images
Hello, my friend. I've noticed some of your images at Commons which you downloaded from http://www.bugwood.org/ and its family of sites. Did you know that if you register (it's free), then you can download much bigger images? Cheers, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 11:16, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the advice. I did register with one organisation, "Forestry Images" I think it was. I seem now to have moved on to marine life and I don't know when I will be returning to dry land! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:40, 23 January 2012 (UTC)


 * http://www.ipmimages.org/ has lots of marine images. But watch the license.

I can double-hook your new starfish with the Coot Clam!
If you write a 1500 article for him!! I have too much Calc. homework to do, or I would ;)  Rcej (Robert) –  talk  11:11, 30 January 2012 (UTC)


 * I am happy to write such an article and will do so later today. I will need to mention the clam in the starfish article because when I wrote it, although my main source, the Smithsonian, specifically mentioned that it was part of the starfish's diet, it said that the starfish was a forager. I later found out that it was also a predator. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:26, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Gastropod taxoboxes
Hello Cwmhiraeth and thank you so much for your numerous excellent articles which are a fabulous addition to the project! Yes, we do follow Bouchet & Rocroi taxonomy from 2005, BUT more recently the taxonomy of some groups of gastropods has been updated considerably based on new research, see Changes in the taxonomy of gastropods since 2005.

In our taxoboxes we don't mention just one clade; for the more evolved groups we try to show the position of the taxon in the whole nesting set of clades to which it belongs. If you look at the branching cladogram on the Bouchet& Rocroi article page you will see that the Saccoglossans formed part of the Opisthobranchia which were in turn part of the Heterobranchia. However Jörger et al. (2010) redefined the major groups of the Heterobranchia and created the new clades Euopisthobranchia and Panpulmonata.

If you look at the Panpulmonata article you will see it has a cladogram (branching diagram) for the Heterobranchia, and that will give you the new correct sequence of nesting clades for the Sacoglossans.

I hope this is not too insanely complicated! Invertzoo (talk) 14:30, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
