DYK for Snowy plover
Aoidh (talk) 00:01, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

I loved the cute birds on the Main page! - Today: thank you for TFA Ohmdenosaurus, introduced: "A little-known dinosaur whose carcass underwent a long and complicated journey before being deposited in the open ocean. As the first description of this genus is in German, this article is, to my knowledge, the only comprehensive account of the topic in English." --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:51, 9 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much! Jens Lallensack (talk) 10:11, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
 * My story today is about Michael Robinson, - it's an honour to have known him. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:08, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Today, I have a special story to tell, of the works of a musician born 300 years ago. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:36, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

Review
Hi Jens, the GAN is getting a bit sticky, what with their not agreeing with much that anybody says. Do you think it has a realistic chance of passing? Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:22, 9 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I think that, without integration of extinct megaherbivores, it is far from meeting GA criterion 3a. And many statements are outright wrong due to these omissions, such as the claim about the k-strategy. Fossils are absolutely essential for this topic in my opinion. If the author does not see this, I don't know what else to do. But they said that they are planning to expand the article "to 35,000 bytes". Whether or not these additions will be on fossils, I don't know. Jens Lallensack (talk) 19:20, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Comments on FA nomination of Knowledge
Hello, I wanted to let you know that I nominated the article Knowledge for featured article status, see Featured article candidates/Knowledge/archive1. There has been little to no response so far and I was wondering whether you might be interested in taking a look. If you have the time, I would appreciate your comments. Phlsph7 (talk) 12:47, 12 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Sure, I will have a look! I am sure this will generate more interest soon, being such an important topic. Jens Lallensack (talk) 13:04, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Snowy plover
The article Snowy plover you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Snowy plover for comments about the article, and Talk:Snowy plover/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has never appeared on the Main Page as a "Did you know" item, and has not appeared within the last year either as "Today's featured article", or as a bold link under "In the news" or in the "On this day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear at DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On this day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Thank you today for the article, introduced: "The snowy plover is one of the best studied shorebirds of the Americas, but also one of the rarest. I tried to include many interesting details while keeping everything as concise as possible. It is my first bird article, and I am looking forward to your comments!"! - By the chance of the calendar, I have a fitting image to offer ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:51, 2 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Thank you! Jens Lallensack (talk) 01:24, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
 * My calendar story today is about Michael Herrmann celebrating his birthday. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:02, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Today I am happy about a singer on the Main page (at least for the first hours), after TFA the same day last year. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:31, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks to Seiji Ozawa. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:57, 12 February 2024 (UTC)b
 * The image, taken on a cemetery last year after the funeral of a distant but dear family member, commemorates today, with thanks for their achievements, four subjects mentioned on the Main page and Vami_IV, a friend here. Listen to music by Tchaikovsky (an article where one of the four is pictured), sung by today's subject (whose performance on stage I enjoyed two days ago). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:18, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * more music and flowers on Rossini's rare birthday --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:45, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Reddyanus problematicus
I just wanted to mention that you are right in the article not prepared for good article due to copyedit etc., but more sections providing more information could not be added, as there is only one peer reviewed research paper describing the thing, which I have completely covered in article. So overall, there is no human known knowledge left to be put in article, thus it is research level or so. Thank you, Exclusive  Editor  Notify Me! 09:52, 4 March 2024 (UTC)


 * You can get it to GA level regardless the limited information available, but you would have to include all information available. For example, include where exactly the holotype was found; that the holotype is a female; that there are two paratypes, also female, and where they have been found, who described the species and when and where. You could also mention that the same paper described five other new members of the genus. All this information should go into the "Taxonomy" section. Then, have a single "Description" section (with sub-sections if needed). Also add information for context: The reader might want to have some general remarks on the genus (maybe their general biology; where they are distributed; how many known species in the genus). Hope this helps. Jens Lallensack (talk) 10:27, 4 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Okay, Thanks. Exclusive  Editor  Notify Me! 17:08, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Question
Hi, I was just wondering if you would be interested in doing a pre-FAC review for Volcanism of the Mount Edziza volcanic complex since you helped with the Mount Edziza volcanic complex FAC. Volcanoguy 17:00, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Aston Martin DB9 at FAC
Hi Jens, could you possibly leave your comments on this FAC about the Aston Martin DB9? (This is my first nomination). The source and image review have both been passed, so I think that, because this is my first, it will need quite a lot of supports. Thanks and best, and don't feel obliged to,  750h+ &#124;   Talk  13:50, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi! Unfortunately I'm the wrong guy to ask – the only thing I know about cars is that they have four wheels. But good luck! --Jens Lallensack (talk) 15:44, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Oh, thanks for this anyways :)  750h+ &#124;   Talk  00:41, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
