Sent on behalf of the Guild of Copy Editors using AWB on 06:38, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Atrina seminuda
Hello NielsenGW. I wanted to thank you for the stub you made for this pen shell species back in April of last year. I don't really know how often you do work on the Mollusca, maybe not that much, but either way, I wanted to ask you if you might be interested in WikiProject Bivalves, a brand new project which was started on January 1st of this year. We currently have 1,157 articles. All good wishes to you, Invertzoo (talk) 17:40, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot’s recommendations. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information in the consent information sheet.

We have added information about the quality of the suggested articles using a Low/Medium/High scale which goes from Low to High.

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 01:41, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!
Thanks! I'm desparately trying to finish up the Carabidae today, but I'm running out of time (read as "being distracted by the shiny Internetz.") NielsenGW (talk) 14:59, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Haliplidae and noteridae
When you're creating a new article about a plant or animal species, could you please make sure that the category you want to use actually exists before using it? You have two options if it doesn't: you can either create the desired category, or you can apply a higher taxonomic category such as which does already exist — but you cannot just leave a page categorized in a red link. Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 21:38, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * Thanks! Working on all those beetle articles was starting to cross my eyes, but it's always nice to see that someone is noticing the effort. NielsenGW (talk) 21:19, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * Thanks! I appreciate the appreciation! :) NielsenGW (talk) 17:41, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * Trying to fill up some of your red links, but you are simply too fast :).--Deathlaser (talk) 13:26, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Ha! That's exactly why I leave the redlinks behind--for wonderful folks like you! Thanks for the barnstar. Cheers! NielsenGW (talk) 13:34, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * It's mainly me and Thine Antique Pen who make all those articles (and significatly spam Special:Newpages).--Deathlaser (talk) 13:54, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Yep, it's us. I've made over 900 from NielsenGW's articles. Regards, Thine Antique Pen (talk • contributions) 14:37, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Mwhahahaha
Per above and I think I'll clear up the red links in your stubs soon! Look at this, heh. Regards, Thine Antique Pen (talk • contributions) 18:15, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Awesome effort, but I'm like the Wikipedia jackalope -- "Fast as fast can be, you'll never catch me..." :) NielsenGW (talk) 18:19, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Heh. Mine all just went in a line. I do 'em in batches of 10-30, depending on what browser I am using at the time. :) --Thine Antique Pen (talk • contributions) 18:32, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

It's hard filling in your red links.. mwhahaha. Regards, ⇒ T A  P  20:43, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, as they say, "Nothing worth doing is easy." Cheers! NielsenGW (talk) 20:57, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I've attempted to be quicker than you. See Special:Contributions/Thine Antique Pen. Thanks! Thine Antique Pen Sock (talk) 12:16, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * That's quite the Sisyphean goal you've given yourself. :) NielsenGW (talk) 12:21, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Heh! The tribe which I'm doing (Trachyderini) is very long! Lots of work! Thine Antique Pen Sock (talk) 12:24, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Credo Reference Update & Survey (your opinion requested)
Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:


 * Link to Survey (should take between 5-10 minutes): http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N8FQ6MM

It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.

At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).

Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at wikiocaasi@yahoo.com. Cheers! Ocaasit &#124; c 17:26, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * I've been going through adding WikiProject Insects tags to some of your articles. —Tom Morris (talk) 21:25, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the barnstar and for your tagging! One step closer to a more complete wiki! NielsenGW (talk) 18:18, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Ribbons
As per WP:RB, the ribbons File:Editorrib18a.png and File:Editorrib18b.png (cf this and this) have been added to WP:RIBBON and WP:SERVICE, and the inconsistencies between those two pages ironed out. If you have any other areas of ribbon creation you'd like looked at (shadowed ribbons are not my forte), please let me know. VanIsaacWScontribs 06:04, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
