Taxonbar at Androsace albana
You were quite right about the taxonbar at Androsace albana; I'd started by copying from Androsace americana and never fixed the taxonbar. So my edit summary should have been "restored previous correct edit". Peter coxhead (talk) 09:46, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
 * We've arrived at the right result. I well know that copy and paste can be a real trap. Am glad all's fixed now. Oronsay (talk) 10:10, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Have I at all proselytised about Rater to you? viz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Evad37/rater apologies if I have I suspect it is worth the checking out if I hadnt... JarrahTree 05:26, 9 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Thank you for following up. I saw RosieStep (Women in Red) using it in one of the Wikipedia Weekly sessions fairly recently and have acquired it. It didn't take me long to work out how not to follow everyone! I will, however, take up your suggestion and look at the "paperwork" that goes with it. Oronsay (talk) 05:38, 9 July 2020 (UTC)


 * no problems - the interesting thing is the 'autofill' that it does on most project/assessments - but hey I need to be able to create a presentation on this anyways I realise.. JarrahTree 05:54, 9 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Rosie said she uses the Page size tool which highlights the so-called readable text, not including infobox, contents and lists or tables and assesses articles as stubs if they were fewer than 1200 B (not on the word count or the ORES evaluation). Oronsay (talk) 06:04, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
 * very interesting - a useful piece of information that! thanks !  JarrahTree 06:18, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
