June 2019 Tree of Life Newsletter

 * June 2019&mdash;Issue 003


 * Tree of Life


 * Welcome to the Tree of Life newsletter!


 * Spineless editors overwhelmed by stubs

Within the Tree of Life and its many subprojects, there is an abundance of stubs. Welcome to Wikipedia, what's new, right? However, based on all wikiprojects listed (just over two thousand), the Tree of Life project is worse off in average article quality than most. Based on the concept of relative WikiWork (the average number of "steps" needed to have a project consisting of all featured articles (FAs), where stub status → FA consists of six steps), only seven projects within the ToL have an average rating of "start class" or better. Many projects, particularly those involving invertebrates, hover at an average article quality slightly better than a stub. With relative WikiWorks of 5.98 each, WikiProject Lepidoptera and WikiProject Beetles have the highest relative WikiWork of any project. Given that invertebrates are incredibly speciose, it may not surprise you that many articles about them are lower quality. WikiProject Beetles, for example, has over 20 times more articles than WikiProject Cats. Wikipedia will always be incomplete, so we should take our relatively low WikiWork as motivation to write more articles that are also better in quality.

We're joined for this month's Editor Spotlight by, a long-time contributor who lists themselves as a member of WikiProject Fungus, WikiProject Algae, and WikiProject Cephalopods.
 * Editor Spotlight: Showing love to misfit taxa

1) Enwebb: How did you come to edit articles about organisms and taxonomic groups?
 * Nessie: The main force, then and now, driving me to create or edit articles is thinking "Why isn't there an article on that on Wikipedia?" Either I'll read about some rarely-sighted creature in the deep sea or find something new on iNaturalist and want to learn more.  First stop (surprise!) is Wikipedia, and many times there is just a stub or no page at all.  Sometimes I just add the source that got me to the article, not sometimes I go deep and try to get everything from the library or online journals and put it all in an article.  The nice thing about taxa is the strong precedent that all accepted extant taxa are notable, so one does not need to really worry about doing a ton of research and having the page get removed.  I was super worried about this as a new editor:  I still really dislike conflict so if I can avoid it I do.  Anyway, the most important part is stitching an article in to the rest of Wikipedia:  Linking all the jargon, taxonomers, pollinators, etc., adding categories, and putting in the correct WikiProjects.  Recently I have been doing more of the stitching-in stuff with extant articles.  The last deep-dive article I made was Karuka at the end of last year, which is a bit of a break for me.  I guess it's easier to do all the other stuff on my tablet while watching TV.

2) Enwebb: Many editors in the ToL are highly specialized on a group of taxa. A look at your recently created articles includes much diversity, though, with viruses, bacteria, algae, and cnidarians all represented&mdash;are there any commonalities for the articles you work on? Would you say you're particularly interested in certain groups?
 * Nessie: I was a nerd from a time when that would get you beat up, so I like odd things and underdogs. I also avoid butting heads, so not only do I find siphonophores and seaweeds fascinating I don't have to worry about stepping on anyone's toes.  I go down rabbitholes where I start writing an article like Mastocarpus papillatus because I found some growing on some rocks, then in my research I see it is parasitized by Pythium porphyrae, which has no article, and how can that be for an oomycete that oddly lives in the ocean and also attacks my tasty nori.  So then I wrote that article and that got me blowing off the dust on other Oomycota articles, encouraged by the pull of propagating automatic taxoboxes.  Once you've done the taxonomy template for the genus, well then you might as well do all the species now that the template is taken care of for them too. and so on until I get sucked in somewhere else. I think it's good to advocate for some of these 'oddball' taxa as it makes it easier for editors to expand their range from say plants to the pathogenic microorganisms of their favorite plant.


 * My favorite clades though, It's hard to pick for a dilettante like me. I like working on virus taxonomy, but I can't think of a specific virus species that I am awed by.  Maybe Tulip breaking virus  for teaching us economics or Variola virus for having so many, one of which was popularly sung about by Desi Arnaz and then inspired the name of a cartoon character who was then misremembered and then turned into a nickname for Howard Stern's producer Gary Dell'Abate.  Sorry, really had to share that  chain, but for a species that's not a staple food it probably has the most deities.  But anyway, for having the most species that wow me, I love a good fungus or algae, but that often is led by my stomach.  Also why I seem to research so many plant articles.  You can't eat siphonophores, at least I don't, but they are fascinating with their federalist colonies of zooids.  Bats are all amazing, but the task force seems to have done so much I feel the oomycetes and slime moulds need more love.  Same thing with dinosaurs (I'm team Therizinosaurus though).  But honestly, every species has that one moment in the research where you just go, wow, that's so interesting.  For instance, I loved discovering that the picture-winged fly (Delphinia picta) has a mating dance that involves blowing bubbles.  Now I keep expecting them to show me when they land on my arm, but no such luck yet.

3) Enwebb: I noticed that many of your recent edits utilize the script Rater, which aids in quickly reassessing the quality and importance of an article. Why is it important to update talk page assessments of articles? I also noticed that the quality rating you assign often aligns with ORES, a script that uses machine-learning to predict article quality. Coincidence?
 * Nessie: I initially started focusing on WikiProject talk page templates because they seem to be the key to data collecting and maintenance for articles, much more so than categories. This is where you note of an article needs an image, or audio, or a range map.  It's how the cleanup listing bot sorts articles, and how  does his automated taxobox usage stats.  The latter inspired me to look for [https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?language=en&project=wikipedia&ns%5B0%5D=1&ns%5B118%5D=1&templates_any=Virusbox%0D%0ATaxonbar%0D%0ATaxobox%0D%0ASubspeciesbox%0D%0ASpeciesbox%0D%0AParaphyletic%20group%0D%0AOobox%0D%0AMissing-taxobox%0D%0AInfraspeciesbox%0D%0AIchnobox%0D%0AHybridbox%2Flua%0D%0AHybridbox%0D%0ABiota%20infobox%0D%0AAutomatic%20taxobox&templates_no=rodents%0D%0Afishproject%0D%0AWikiProject%20Viruses%0D%0AWikiProject%20Turtles%0D%0AWikiProject%20Spiders%0D%0AWikiProject%20Sharks%0D%0AWikiProject%20Rodents%0D%0AWikiProject%20Reptiles%0D%0AWikiProject%20Primates%0D%0AWikiProject%20Poultry%0D%0AWikiProject%20Plants%0D%0AWikiProject%20Paleontology%0D%0AWikiProject%20Palaeontology%0D%0AWikiProject%20Microbiology%0D%0AWikiProject%20Micro%0D%0AWikiProject%20Marine%20life%0D%0AWikiProject%20Marine%20Life%0D%0AWikiProject%20Mantodea%0D%0AWikiProject%20Mammals%2FBats%20Task%20Force%0D%0AWikiProject%20Mammals%0D%0AWikiProject%20Lepidoptera%0D%0AWikiProject%20Insects%0D%0AWikiProject%20Hypericaceae%0D%0AWikiProject%20Gastropods%0D%0AWikiProject%20Fungi%0D%0AWikiProject%20Fishes%0D%0AWikiProject%20Equine%0D%0AWikiProject%20Dogs%0D%0AWikiProject%20Dinosaurs%0D%0AWikiProject%20Cetaceans%0D%0AWikiProject%20Cephalopods%0D%0AWikiProject%20Cats%0D%0AWikiProject%20Carnivorous%20plants%0D%0AWikiProject%20Bivalves%0D%0AWikiProject%20Birds%0D%0AWikiProject%20Beetles%0D%0AWikiProject%20Banksia%0D%0AWikiProject%20Arthropods%0D%0AWikiProject%20Animals%0D%0AWikiProject%20Amphibians%20and%20Reptiles%0D%0AWikiProject%20Algae%0D%0AWPSpiders%0D%0AWP%20Spiders%0D%0ASquirrels%0D%0ARodent%0D%0AMammal%0D%0ALepidopteraTalk%0D%0ABirdTalk%0D%0AAARTalk&templates_use_talk_no=on&search_max_results=500&sortby=title&sortorder=descending&add_image=on&interface_language=en&active_tab=tab_templates_n_links&doit= articles on organisms that are not assigned to any ToL WikiProjects] which initially was in the thousands.  I got it down to zero with just copypasta so you can imagine I was excited when I saw the rater tool.  Back then I rated everything stub/low because it was faster:  I couldn't check every article for the items on the B-class checklists.  Plus each project has their own nuances to rating scales and I thought the editors in the individual projects would take it from there.  I also thought all species were important, so how can I choose a favorite?  Now it is much easier with the rater tool and the apparent consensus with 's method of rating by the pageviews (0-9 views/day is low, 10-99 is med, 100-999 is high...).  For the quality I generally go by the ORES rating, you caught me.  It sometimes is thrown off by a long list of species or something, but it's generally good for stub to C: above that needs formal investigation and procedures I am still learning about.  It seems that in the ToL projects we don't focus so much on getting articles to GA/FA so it's been harder to pick up.  It was a little culture shock when I went on the Discord server and it seemed everyone was obsessed with getting articles up in quality.  I think ToL is focusing on all the missing taxa and (re)organizing it all, which when you already have articles on every anime series or whatever you can focus on bulking the articles up more.  In any event, on my growing to-do list is trying to get an article up to FA or GA and learn the process that way so I can better do the quality ratings and not just kick the can down the road.

4) Enwebb: What, if anything, can ToL and its subprojects do to better support collaboration and coordination among editors? How can we improve?
 * Nessie: I mentioned earlier that the projects are the main way maintenance is done. And it is good that we have a bunch of subprojects that let those tasks get broken up into manageable pieces.  Frankly I'm amazed anything gets done with WikiProject Plants with how huge its scope is.  Yet this not only parcels out the work but the discussion as well.  A few editors like  and  keep an eye on many of the subprojects and spread the word, but it's still easy for newer editors to get a little lost.  There should be balance between the lumping and splitting.  The newsletter helps by crossing over all the WikiProjects, and if the discord channel picked up that would help too.  Possibly the big Enwiki talk page changes will help as well.

5) Enwebb: What would surprise the ToL community to learn about your life off-Wikipedia?
 * Nessie: I'm not sure anything would be surprising. I focus on nature offline too, foraging for mushrooms or wild plants and trying to avoid ticks and mosquitos.  I have started going magnet fishing lately, more to help clean up the environment than in the hopes of finding anything valuable.  But it would be fun to find a weapon and help solve a cold case or something.

Welcome
Welcome on Wikipedia, Orenburg1! Thank you for your contributions on squirrels. You may be interested in joining the Wikiproject on rodents to help improve Wikipedia's information on rodents. I hope you'll have a lot of pleasure editing Wikipedia in the future. Kind regards, Ucucha 15:53, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edits to Planet Earth (TV series)
Hi Orenburg1 and welcome to wikipedia. I hope that you have a good time here and enjoy editing. In regard of your recent edits to the article Planet Earth, you changed "summer" to "spring" in several sections and "6 months" to "4 months" in the case of Penguins in the Antarctic. Would you be able to explain the rationale for your edits please? Sincerely, Antarctic-adventurer  (talk)  12:39, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

I should have put a note. I reverted edits by IP's 70.239.11.123 & 76.205.81.217 made on 8th and 11th November 2010. It seems that there is a person out there who persistently changes "spring" to "summer" on various pages and also likes to mess with dates. From the pattern of edits I suspect that they are also using IP's 76.205.88.228, 76.205.90.138, 76.205.82.239 and 70.239.10.245 which are all in the same geolocation and possibly some others.


 * OK, Thanks for your reverts. This kind of vandalism is hard to spot so well done for finding it! Without going back and listening to the original narration I can't remember which one was correct. Antarctic-adventurer  (talk)  18:02, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

FYI
I undid your edit to Diamond Star. I can not understand why you made it. Would you care to explain it to me? I'll keep your talkpage watched. Debresser (talk) 21:43, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I was just doing some general copyediting and typo correction. I deleted the repeated words. It read "Diamond Star, Diamond-Star..." While I am looking at the page doesnt the entry for BPM 37093 which says in part "...estimated to be a 10 billion trillion trillion trillion carat diamond." go a little further than the article actually says?
 * Now I see. You deleted the first instance without the "-" and left the second instance with the "-".
 * Ah yes. I'll remove that. Some joke, probably. Debresser (talk) 22:25, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Talkback
Thanks for your copy-editing there. Also perhaps help to get these Harvnb references quite right. Si Trew (talk) 07:57, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Saniwa
Hi Orenburg1, I've reverted your edit to Saniwa as I couldn't see an explanation for why you reverted the article back 4 days. All the information seemed to me to be referenced, reliable and well-written so I was wondering why you removed it? I was made aware of it as some of the information you removed is currently referenced on the Main Page in the DYK section. If you have any questions, please leave them on my talk page. Regards, Woody (talk) 12:08, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I thought something like that might have happened given your first edit to the article. Saving old enough versions is easy enough to do, I'm sure I remember doing it at least once! No harm done, all is back as it should be now. Thanks, Woody (talk) 14:19, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Copy edit tagging
Hi Orenburg1, I just wanted to let you know that there is a discussion regarding your tagging at the GOCE. The tagging comes at a time when the Guild is holding a drive, and has resulted in a huge dent in the Guild's efforts. Cheers. --SMasters (talk) 01:14, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Thankyou for correction.
Very glad that your typo hunt spotted the error "altough" in Queen's Logic. Thanks. Tigerboy1966 (talk) 13:50, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi! As my English teacher says "we all need an editor". So I thought I'd point out that on your user page, you've misspelled "prejudice".  Bramble  claw  x   19:58, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Come Help Edit!
I'd be happy if you'd contribute more to the Lego Ninjago: The Series article. Your original help was great, thanks. I posted some suggestions on the discussion page as well.

If you want you can watch more episodes of the series on youtube. I believe a user named XmasToys has several uploaded.

Hi there. Well done with all the spelling corrections. Sad to say, this is a false positive - almost incredibly, the source URL is spelt wrongly.

Undoing edits to Metropolitan Library
Hi: I removed those lines about Steve Kern & Mick Cornett from the Metropolitan Library System (Oklahoma) entry simply because I don't think they contribute to the entry. My intentions weren't to dismiss these issues or to censor them but I don't think that they add anything helpful/informative to this article. I think there are venues online in which this content can be shared, but I don't think a Wikipedia article about Metropolitan Library is the best one for this information. I look forward to hearing your feedback. Tspindle (talk) 14:22, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Hello Tspindle. I reverted your edit because there was no reason given for the deletion of these rather controversial issues. I think that it is important that controversies such as this are not airbrushed out of Wikipedia. However reading it carefully I would agree that it adds nothing to the article and would be better confined to the entries of the individuals concerned, something I will leave to someone else as I have no ax to grind here. I will unrevert; the fact that the controversy existed remains but it probably could do with copy editing to be more concise. This discussion should probably also be copied to the article talk page. Appreciate your bringing it here rather than just reverting again.

Thanks for understanding & for the tip on how I can be a better editor in the future. Tspindle (talk) 19:56, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Why did you delete in the 1848 Hungarian revolution article?
It was a lot of work to translate it from Hungarian wiki page, and search many references n English language books of academic historians, it contained a lot of basic informations (such as goverments ). It is close to vandalism with very hypocritical insufficient grounds (like sockpuppet stubes etc....)--Tumbsder (talk) 18:36, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I see you are a new editor who has made only 4 edits, all to this one article. Your edits have been adding back material previously added by Stubes99 and subsequently removed by other editors. They are generally badly written, inaccurate in many cases and not neutral in presentation. I would normally welcome a new editor but I believe that you may be a sockpuppet of Stubes99. If I am mistaken I sincerely apologize.

Orenburg1 (talk) 18:52, 15 March 2015 (UTC) Can you point out concrete way, which parts are not neutral? Exactly? You can found them in the books of the references.

References needed for Cumulonimbus and aviation
Hi,

you added a tag asking for more sources in the article Cumulonimbus and aviation. There are already 54 references and in our opinion the contentious points of the article are duly referenced. Would you mind to be more specific which points need to have extra references. It would help. For now, I am in the dark. Thanks. Malosse (talk) 15:55, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Following your note I took another look at it (and made a couple of minor copyedits). I have not read the book so can not really comment (and do not want to) on the content except to say that approaching it as a casual reader it seems reasonably balanced. The quoted refs seem to say that not as much money was given to charity as the book implies but the article does not make that point - a minor comment from me. Good articles are more difficult to write than it seems at first and I hope you carry on. Regards Orenburg1 (talk) 18:03, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!

 * Thank you, and also for your measured question rather than just reverting the edits, which is appreciated. The Oxford English Dictionary and Merriam-Webster say "glamorous" is correct in both British and American English (as does Wiktionary). The OED website says "Note that although glamor is an American spelling of glamour, glamorous is not an American form. This word is spelled the same way in both British and American English, and glamourous is regarded as an error".

Regards. Orenburg1 (talk) 16:12, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
 * That seems like a fair explanation. I will not disagree, but I will lightly challenge it. Merriam Webster says that "glamorous" is a less common variation. Also, these two examples above were Indian English. There is a little evidence that this is an acceptable variant and also we have no evidence about Indian English. I am not sure either way. Wiktionary seems like a fair place to sort this but I am not sure how that works. Thanks for the chat. I support what you are doing if you want to continue.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)  23:33, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Fair point, shame that MW is not as emphatic as the OED. I shall give third party spellings of glamourous from American sources the benefit of the doubt. Indian English spelling normally follows British English, I am not aware of an exception here, but I have never come across an Indian English dictionary; if you know of one please let me know.

On punctuation
I'll get back to you... Wikidalien (talk) 20:10, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

Random punctuation
On my, according to two people here, *random* use of punctuation in my article edits:

There has been a general decline, particularly in American culture, since, shortly after the advent of the Internet (that word, by the way, is ALWAYS capitalized), and particularly, the 'World-Wide Web', in what used to be considered, 'good' English grammar. But a trend towards degeneration has been firmly set in place - mainly due to ignorance of the rules of the language, and, sheer laziness of attitude and that, mainly in punctuation, spelling, syntax, grammar, etc. This, I well remember, was predicted early on by veteran computer users, and, in particular, those who were writers. This trend, of course, is due to the influx and influence of the general populace, which, seemingly all at once, introduced a 'lowest-common-denominator' policy on textual communication, by people who, typically, were not at all familiar with keyboards, namely typewriters, as used in textual communication of any kind. This has affect the comprehension and interpretation of said communications, to such a degree, that, more than 80% of all Internet-originated, textual communications sent by, even close family members, are misunderstood by the receiver, and another 80%, of any given message's content, is not correctly interpreted.

Punctuation, is the 'flavor' of a statement, or clause, as it relates to the previous, and the following statement or clause. As the eye perceives any good artwork, you are being guided - sensibly, and rationally through it, by way of proper punctuation. See how easy, and conversational that was to read? Now, try this:

"There has been a general decline particularly in america since shortly after the advent of the internet which by the way is always capitalized and particularly the world wide web in what used to be considered good english grammar a trend towards degeneration has been firmly set in place mainly due to ignorance of the rules of the english language mainly in punctuation spelling syntax grammar and etc." No, I wouldn't want to have to read it again, either.

There is, also, probably something else to consider. That is, your personal familiarity or unfamiliarity, with the language and how you learned to speak it, and, how you read it. If you're under about the age of 30, then you, and those before you, are speaking it differently. Your 'discontinued use' of - what used to be required adeptness in - the intricacies of English grammar, doesn't make my memory, and my retention of it, wrong. Good writing should resemble, even mimic, oral conversation. Punctuation gives a string of ideas, or a clause - or a string, or a progression of clauses - clarity, and sensibility. See that? If you didn't quite catch it, read it again.

According to Strunk and White, a certain amount of 'literary freedom', is granted to the writer, who may wish to use it as a literary 'device', or, in such a way as to emphasize something, which, may not present itself, readily, to the reader. Punctuation should present, properly, the idea proposed, in a way that fits, and suits, the desired, chosen way of expression of the writer. The way it is written and punctuated, depends on the content, dialect, phraseology (British, or American) emphasis of content or idea, and, even local colloquialism.

DO NOT criticize, or otherwise reprimand me, for my application of something, that is going to assist you, in the understanding, and readability, of each idea, as it occurs, and is presented, in a way that, in the end, makes your reading experience, one, of better, overall comprehension. Now, read that rather lengthy sentence again - this time, with no punctuation. Have fun. DO NOT try to minimalize my level of continued, and, continuing education, unless, you are quite well-prepared to assert comparisons. If, at this point, you didn't quite catch what I just said, read it again. If all else fails - I'll do the writing; you, do the reading. Wikidalien (talk) 00:42, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Hi there, thanks for that. I will have a read.
 * Regarding the plots, which is purpose of episodes page, they are direct from the episodes/films themselves. I thought plots do not require references? If it is about the title names, run times, etc, I'm sure I'll be able to find somewhere.
 * Also, there for Heimat 1, there is a Blu-Ray being released in a few months, which I'll be getting. Any helpful information from interviews or the booklet or documentary, I will gladly add. Regards. Heimatchen (talk) 09:43, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

Ferdinand Feichtner
Hi Orenburg1, How are you? I don't think we have spoken before. Yip is thr short answer. When Feichtner was captured after the war, he had to write some homework they called it, by TICOM, which is essentially all the stuff he did while he was working as a Luftwaffe officer. As part of the Germany surrendering unconditionally, German soldiers had to offer all the information they had to whoever in the allies wanted it. TICOM and a British outfit CSDIC sent teams in to capture and interrogate important Germans who were involved in the intelligence side of things. Feichtner was one of those captured. So it is his homework you are reading. He was very busy Luftwaffe officer. I have other homework examples, e.g. Otto Buggisch who was also captured and Hans Rohrbach who was a brilliant mathematican and crypanalyst, one of their best and did important work after the war. He wrote a 98 page homework document on a solving the O2 strip cipher, which is dense mathematical treatise and too long for Wikipedia really, which is unfortunate. All these documents are in the public domain and have been cleared for use by Wikipedia, and Diaanna. regards. scope_creep (talk) 10:03, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

Arturo Alfonso Schomburg
Thank you for your contributions to the article on Arturo Alfonso Schomburg. It has been among the favorite articles which I have written because it tells that Puerto Ricans have made positive contributions to the United States. The fact is that Schomburg was born in Puerto Rico when Puerto Rico was still a Spanish Colony and therefore he was not an American citizen.

As a matter of fact Puerto Rican citizenship was first legislated by the United States Congress in Article 7 of the Foraker Act of 1900. When Puerto Ricans were granted a limited citizenship in 1917, by the Jones Act, they didn't have to give their Puerto Rican Citizenship. On November 18, 1997, the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico, through its ruling in Miriam J. Ramirez de Ferrer v. Juan Mari Brás, reaffirmed the standing existence of the Puerto Rican citizenship. The CIA World Fact Book, states that the nationality of Puerto Ricans is not "American" but, in fact, "Puerto Rican."

Not only that, he was proud of being a Puerto Rican and referred to himself as an "Afroborinqueño" which means "Afro-Puerto Rican". He became a member of the "Revolutionary Committee of Puerto Rico" and became an active advocate of Puerto Rico's and Cuba's independence from Spain.

Let's go by the true facts, this being an encyclopedia. We can not re-write history to our liking. Now, thank you once more for your good-faith editing. Tony the Marine (talk) 02:18, 11 February 2019 (UTC)


 * I think you are berating the wrong person here. I merely corrected the grammar from "...a American..." to "...an American..."; I have no opinion on his nationality. If you wish to harangue someone for altering his nationality then you need to talk to 2601:cd:c101:5870:41e2:bb45:f4c4:5363.

 * Welcome to the inaugural issue of the Tree of Life newsletter!

Tree of Life editors are making a respectable showing in this year's WikiCup, with three regular editors advancing to the third round. Overall winner from 2016,, topped the scoreboard in points for round 2, getting a nice bonus for bringing Black mamba to FA. continues to favor things remotely related to bats, bringing Stellaluna to GA. Plants editor also advanced to round 3 with several plant-related DYKs. A March 2019 paper in PLOS Biology found that Wikipedia page views vary seasonally for species. With a dataset of 31,751 articles about species, the authors found that roughly a quarter of all articles had significant seasonal variations in page views on at least one language version of Wikipedia. They examined 245 language versions. Page views also peaked with cultural events, such as views of the Great white shark article during Shark Week or Turkey during Thanksgiving.

May 2019 Tree of Life Newsletter

 * May 2019&mdash;Issue 002


 * Tree of Life


 * Welcome to the Tree of Life newsletter!

On 23 May, user created a talk page post, "Revamp of Wikiproject Biology--Who is In?". In the days since, WP:BIOL has been bustling with activity, with over a dozen editors weighing in on this discussion, as well as several others that have subsequently spawned. An undercurrent of thought is that WP:BIOL has too many subprojects, preventing editors from easily interacting and stopping a "critical mass" of collaboration and engagement. Many mergers and consolidations of subprojects have been tentatively listed, with a consolidation of WikiProjects Genetics + Molecular and Cell Biology + Computational Biology + Biophysics currently in discussion. Other ideas being aired include updating old participants lists, redesigning project pages to make them more user-friendly, and clearly identifying long- and short-term goals.
 * Fundamental changes being discussed at WikiProject Biology

Editors and  had a very fruitful month, collaborating to bring two dinosaur articles to GA and then nominating them both for FA. They graciously decided to answer some questions for the first ToL Editor Spotlight, giving insight to their successful collaborations, explaining why you should collaborate with them, and also sharing some tidbits about their lives off-Wikipedia.
 * Editor Spotlight: These editors want you to write about dinosaurs

1) Enwebb: How long have you two been collaborating on articles? 2) Enwebb: Why dinosaurs? 3) Enwebb: Why should other editors join you in writing articles related to paleontology? Are you looking to attract new editors, or draw in experienced editors from other areas of Wikipedia?
 * Jens Lallensack: I started in the German Wikipedia in 2005 but switched to the English Wikipedia because of its very active dinosaur project. My first major collaboration with FunkMonk was on Heterodontosaurus in 2015.
 * FunkMonk: Yeah, we had interacted already on talk pages and through reviewing each other's articles, and at some point I was thinking of expanding Heterodontosaurus, and realised Jens had already written the German Wikipedia version, so it seemed natural to work together on the English one. Our latest collaboration was Spinophorosaurus, where by another coincidence, I had wanted to work on that article for the WP:Four Award, and it turned out that Jens had a German book about the expedition that found the dinosaur, which I wouldn't have been able to utilise with my meagre German skills. Between those, we also worked on Brachiosaurus, a wider Dinosaur Project collaboration between several editors.
 * JL: Because of the huge public interest in them. But dinosaurs are also highly interesting from a scientific point of view: key evolutionary innovations emerged within this group, such as warm-bloodedness, gigantism, and flight. Dinosaur research is, together with the study of fossil human remains, the most active field in paleontology. New scientific techniques and approaches tend to get developed within this field. Dinosaur research became increasingly interdisciplinary, and now does not only rely on various fields of biology and geology, but also on chemistry and physics, among others. Dinosaurs are therefore ideal to convey scientific methodology to the general public.
 * FM: As outlined above, dinosaurs have been described as a "gateway to science"; if you learn about dinosaurs, you will most likely also learn about a lot of scientific fields you would not necessarily be exposed to otherwise. On a more personal level, having grown up with and being influenced by various dinosaur media, it feels pretty cool to help spread knowledge about these animals, closest we can get to keeping them alive.
 * JL: Because we are a small but active and helpful community. Our Dinosaur collaboration, one of the very few active open collaborations in Wikipedia, makes high-level writing on important articles easier and more fun. Our collaboration is especially open to editors without prior experience in high-level writing. But we do not only write articles: several WikiProject Dinosaur participants are artists who do a great job illustrating the articles, and maintain an extensive and very active image review system. In fact, a number of later authors started with contributing images.
 * FM: Anyone who is interested in palaeontology is welcome to try writing articles, and we would be more than willing to help. I find that the more people that work on articles simultaneously with me, the more motivation I get to write myself. I am also one of those editors who started out contributing dinosaur illustrations and making minor edits, and only began writing after some years. But when I got to it, it wasn't as intimidating as I had feared, and I've learned a lot in the process. For example anatomy; if you know dinosaur anatomy, you have a very good framework for understanding the anatomy of other tetrapod animals, including humans.

4) Enwebb: Between the two of you, you have over 300 GA reviews. FunkMonk, you have over 250 of those. What keeps you coming back to review more articles?
 * FM: One of the main reasons I review GANs is to learn more about subjects that seem interesting (or which I would perhaps not come across otherwise). There are of course also more practical reasons, such as helping an article on its way towards FAC, to reduce the GAN backlog, and to "pay back" when I have a nomination up myself. It feels like a win-win situation where I can be entertained by interesting info, while also helping other editors get their nominations in shape, and we'll end up with an article that hopefully serves to educate a lot of people (the greater good).
 * JL: Because I enjoy reading Wikipedia articles and like to learn new things. In addition, reviews give me the opportunity to have direct contact with the authors, and help them to make their articles even better. This is quite rewarding for me personally. But I also review because I consider our GA and FA system to be of fundamental importance for Wikipedia. When I started editing Wikipedia (the German version), the article promotion reviews motivated me and improved my writing skills a lot. Submitting an article for review requires one to get serious and take additional steps to bring the article to the best quality possible. GAs and FAs are also a good starting point for readers, and may motivate them to become authors themselves.

5) Enwebb: What are your editing preferences? Any scripts or gadgets you find invaluable? 6) Enwebb: What would surprise the ToL community to learn about your life off-wiki?
 * FM: One script that everyone should know about is the duplink highlight tool. It will show duplinks within the intro and body of a given article separately, and it seems a lot of people still don't know about it, though they are happy when introduced to it. I really liked the citationbot too (since citation consistency is a boring chore to me), but it seems to be blocked at the moment due to some technical issues.
 * JL: I often review using the Wikipedia Beta app on my smartphone, as it allows me to read without needing to sit in front of the PC. For writing, I find the reference management software Zotero invaluable, as it generates citation templates automatically, saving a lot of time.
 * Editor's note: I downloaded Zotero and tried it for the first time and think it is a very useful tool. More here.
 * FM: Perhaps that I have no background in natural history/science, but work with animation and games. But fascination with and knowledge of nature and animals is actually very helpful when designing and animating characters and creatures, so it isn't that far off, and I can actually use some of the things I learn while writing here for my work (when I wrote the Dromaeosauroides article, it was partially to learn more about the animal for a design-school project).
 * JL: That I am actually doing research on dinosaurs. Though I avoid writing about topics I publish research on, my Wikipedia work helps me to keep a good general overview over the field, and quite regularly I can use what I learned while writing for Wikipedia for my research.

Get in touch with these editors regarding collaboration at WikiProject Dinosaurs!

{| role="presentation" class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:100%; background:#b6ecd0;" By request from another editor, this month I wrote an overview of ways that content is featured on Wikipedia. Below I have outlined some of the processes for getting content featured:
 * Alphabet Soup: Explaining DYK, GA, FA, and More

Did You Know (DYK)
What is it: A way for articles to appear on the main page of Wikipedia. A short hook in the format of "Did you know...that ___" presents unusual and interesting facts to the reader, hopefully making the reader want to click through to the article

How it works: The DYK process has fairly low barriers for participation. The eligibility criteria are few and relatively easy to meet. Some important guidelines: The process for creating the nomination is somewhat tedious. Instructions can be found here (official instructions) and here ("quick and nice" guide to DYK). Experience is the best teacher here, so don't be afraid to try and fail a few times. The last few DYK nominations I've done, however, have been with the help of SD0001's DYK-helper script, which makes the process a bit more streamlined (you create the template from a popup box on the article; created template is automatically transcluded to nominations page and article talk page)
 * To be eligible, article is either new (newly created or moved to mainspace), a 5x expansion, or passed a GA review. Its creation, expansion, or promotion to GA must have been in the past 7 days.
 * Article must be long enough, with more than 1,500 characters of prose (this doesn't include embedded lists)
 * I find Shubinator's DYKcheck script useful in determining whether an article is eligible for nomination.

Once your nomination is created and transcluded, it will need to be reviewed. The reviewer will check that the article meets the eligibility criteria, that the hook is short enough, cited, and interesting, and that other requirements are met, such as for images. If you've been credited with more than 5 DYKs, the reviewer will also check that you've reviewed someone else's nomination for each article that you nominate. This is called QPQ (quid pro quo). You can check how many credited DYKs you've had here to see if QPQ is required for you to nominate an article for DYK.

Good Article (GA)
What it is: A peer review process to determine that an article meets a set of criteria. This adds a symbol to the top of the article. About 1 in 200 articles on Wikipedia is a GA.

How it works: You follow the instructions to nominate an article, placing a template on its talk page. Anyone can nominate an article&mdash;you don't have to be a major contributor, though it is considered polite to inform the major contributors that you are nominating the article. The article is added to a queue to await a review. In the ToL, it seems that reviews happen pretty quickly, thanks to our dedicated members. Once the review begins, the reviewer will offer suggestions to help the article meet the 6 GA criteria. Upon addressing all concerns, the reviewer will pass the article, and voilà! Good Article!

Advice to a first-time nominator: Look at other Good Articles in related areas before nominating. If you're unsure about nominating, consider posting to the talk page of your project to see what other editors think. You can also have a more experienced editor co-nominate the article with you.

Featured Article (FA)
What it is: An exhaustive peer review to determine that an articles meets the criteria. This adds a to the top of the article. About 1 in 1,000 articles on Wikipedia is a FA.

How it works: You follow the instructions to nominate an article, placing a template on its talk page. Nominated articles are usually GAs already. Uninvolved editors can nominate, though the article's regular editors should be consulted first. Several editors will come by offering feedback, eventually supporting or opposing promotion to FA. A coordinator will determine if there is consensus to promote the article to FA. For an editor's first FA, spot checks to verify that the sources support the text are conducted.

Advice to a first-time nominator: The Featured Article Candidate (FAC) process is a bit intimidating, but several steps can make your first one easier (speaking as someone who has exactly one). If you also did the GA nomination of the article, you can ask the reviewer for "extra" feedback beyond the GA criteria. You can also formally request a peer review and/or a copy edit from the Guild of Copy Editors to check for content and mechanics. First-time nominators are encouraged to seek the help of a mentor for a higher likelihood of passing their first FAC.

Good and Featured Topics (GT and FT)
What it is: It took me a while to realize we even had GT and FT on Wikipedia, as they are not very common relative to GA and FA. Both GT and FT are collections of related articles of high quality (all articles at GA or FA, all lists at Featured List). GT/FT have to be at least 3 articles with no obvious gaps in coverage of the topic, along with other criteria. For GT, all articles have to be GA quality and all lists must be FL. For FT, at least half the articles must be FA or FL, with the remaining articles at GA.

How it works: Follow the nomination procedures for creating a new topic or adding an article to an existing topic. Other editors weigh in to support or oppose the proposal. Coordinators determine if there is consensus to promote to GT/FT.

Advice to a first-time nominator: There are very few GT/FT in Tree of Life (5 GT and 11 FT). Most of the legwork appears to be improving a cohesive set of articles to GA/FA.

Pre-existence of Christ, section "In art"
Good morning Orenburg1, with regard to oldid 927812825 rollback, I wish to suggest to end the section titled "	In art", with the following statement:


 * ''In some Early Christian sarcophagi, the Logos is distinguished with a beard, "which allows him to appear ancient, even preexistent. In the Catacombs of Domitilla, located near Rome and dated to the fifth century, the Holy Spirit God is depicted as a stylized Christian dove with a branch of olive tree.

It recalls, the announcement of peace after the human martyrdom of a Saint son of God like Domitilla, or of the enemies of Noah''.

Logos is identified with Jesus Christ God and therefore would be appropriate to mention the Holy Spirit God'presence in the Early Christian art and architecture. The latter WP article sources that this historical period extends from the 2nd century to 550 at the latest. Hence, it concerns the Catacombs of Domitilla, which is dated to the fifth century CE.

I ask uniquely to add the sentences highlighted in the Italic font, but -in my modest and argumented opinion- it is highly possible that early Christian martyrs understood and believed all what I am going to summarize. This is an additional reason to mention the "Holy Spirit God as a dove" in Pre-existence of Christ.

While we have God the Father and God the Son depicted with a human-divine male body (both of them), the Holy Spirit God is depicted as one or more holy animals, whose feminine or masculine sex is not specified. it's a very relevant difference. With the artistical and unusual choice of depicting a Divine Person with a common animal and not with a human and sexuated body, we note that early Christians thought the Holy Spirit to be God, but also something of radically different than the other two Divine Persons, who are represented as humans. This artistical choice for a holy place -like a burial- is uniquely possible because of the existence of multiple biblical references to this transubstantiaton of the Holy Spirit into an animal form, e.g. in the Pentecost narration. Differently from Indians in respect of cattles, we don't know early Christians worshiped any dove as being God, even if they had a respectful behavior for animals. So we can suppose they didn't think a dove was the "animal body" of the Holy Spirit God (an aniamal substance), nor that any dove was the corporeal house of an Holy Spirit (like Indians did), but that the Holy Spirit chose to "use" a common dove to appear to humans or that god the Creator gave life to a single animal specifically for that purpose.

Angels, which are created invisible and incorporeal (and therefore without sexuation), are created at image and similitude of the Holy Spirit God, which is the same divinity, but of a different substance than God the Father and God the Son.

Any comment is courtesy appreciated, Micheledisaveriosp (talk) 11:04, 25 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your comments on my deletion of your edit to the Pre-existence of Christ article which are both :comprehensive and polite. I shall try to respond in the same vein.
 * I make extensive, mostly small edits to Wikipedia, mainly to orthography. I am constantly amazed at the amount of unsourced material I :come across and perhaps have a tendency to delete what I perceive as unsourced edits rather readily, which is why I removed your :addition. I was somewhat surprised that an experienced editor made such an addition without a reference.
 * I think that you can find support for your proposed change in the reference that already occurs in that section - see pages 34 on, and later in the same book. I am not an expert in this field. I think however wider conclusions could be drawn than you are suggesting.

When you use the term inappropriate are you saying that it is because I have put something in the wrong place? I don’t know how to add he info in it’s correct section, and tried for many hours to do so. I added it at the top of the page so hopefully some kind soul would either show me how to do it, or add it for me. I saw no option to assist in doing this. In this sense the use of the word “inappropriate isn’t really the case. Unfortunately the meaning of this word these days implies that there has been some wrong doing on someone’s part. I assume that you do not think that I have done something or behaved in some way inappropriately. Perhaps you can clarify this. Also I have some info to add to the Walter Koenig filmography. I don’t want to make the same mistake again, perhaps you would be good enough to help me. If you do respond to this message, I must confess I don’t know how to look up to see the reply. It is only by chance that I saw that my post had been removed. As I said I am a complete newbie to trying to edit. Please remember that at some point in time it was everyone’s first attempt.

Respectfully

I'm sorry for my revert on Maxim Dlugy. Although your initial edit was clear, I didn't see the simple point. Quale (talk) 09:10, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Pronomial vs. Pronominal
Hello, I have noticed you "correcting" the spelling of pronomial to pronominal, however the former is not incorrect, they are just two similarly spelled words that mean the same thing. (Although until now I had never heard of the latter word.) I don't see any benefits from these changes. But perhaps you do, so I just wanted to give you the opportunity to explain why pronominal is preferable over pronomial. AquitaneHungerForce (talk) 09:06, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi I am working my way thru the WP lists of misspellings and have reached P which lists pronomial as a misspelling of pronominal. Considering their size the lists have relatively few errors although I have come across a couple. An online search of the OED and Merriam-Webster gives only pronominal with no apparent results for pronomial. My papercopy of the shorter OED has only pronominal. This of course is not necessarily conclusive. Regards Orenburg1 (talk) 07:35, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Suggestions
Hello there! Can I suggest if I can change the sentence of Virgin Atlantic fleet

"Virgin Atlantic operates an all widebody aircraft from Airbus and Boeing, composed of Airbus A330-200, Airbus A330-300, Airbus A350-1000 and Boeing 787-9. The airline also has Airbus A330-900 on order."

Hope you're okay with this. Thanks in advance! Cornerstone2.0 (talk) 05:50, 4 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi . The sentence does not make a lot of sense without the word ''fleet'.


 * I originally reverted your previous edit to change aircrafts to aircraft as the singular and plural of aircraft are the same in English, but see that I reverted to a version that was still confusing.


 * I suggest that the opening sentence should simply read:


 * "Virgin Atlantic operates a fleet of all widebody aircraft from both Airbus and Boeing."


 * This makes the opening sentence simple to read and the details of the fleet and its development can then be dealt with in detail in the following sections which probably is easier in the long run as these change relatively frequently. I see that you have done a pretty good job on these sections by the way.


 * I have changed the intro accordingly.


 * Regards.

If you have a moment, could you revert the IP's edit to this article? I can't seem to make them understand that they cannot add unsourced "soon to be published" information to Wikipedia articles, and they just keep restoring it. I've filed an edit warring report.

 * Actually, I withdrew the AN3 report because I miscounted and I'm over 3 reverts myself. Beyond My Ken (talk) 07:43, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

, I did not have internet access yesterday as I was travelling but I see Black Hawk has reverted it. Regards Orenburg1 (talk) 06:43, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

A Stupid Question?
What does CE mean in the edit summaries? Just brushing up on my abbreviations knowledge is all?!. --Vaati the Wind Demon (talk) 15:48, 15 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Not so stupid. I am using ce as an abbreviation for copyedit. See WP:CE. Regards. Orenburg1 (talk) 07:20, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * And I really meant to refer to Edit summary legend. Orenburg1 (talk) 07:39, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

thanks for catching the spelling errors
For some reason my browser will not spell check edits to Wikipedia, but will on other sites. *shrug* 174.86.237.161 (talk) 08:24, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

You made me look up chthonian
Thanks for the fixes of "fourty" to "forty" at List of US Navy ships sunk or damaged in action during World War II. I thought you might want to know, since the quotes on your user page are so good (and I thought you might appreciate a pedantic note), that Wikipedia style is to have no quote marks for quotes in boxes. Keep up the good work. SchreiberBike &#124; ⌨ 17:19, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your kind words.
 * I was unaware of the Wikipedia convention regarding quotation marks but I have now corrected this egregious and regrettable error. Regards. Orenburg1 (talk) 20:21, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * May all your errors be so small and easy to correct! SchreiberBike &#124; ⌨ 21:20, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Merry Christmas!
Season's greetings and Merry Christmas to you and your family. Have a wonderful holiday season. Cheers! RV (talk) 11:38, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
