Wow, you really dug into WP:Dusty...
I've been tinkering off-and-on with the list since people seem to want to keep it working despite the database report doing pretty much the same thing. I just looked and noticed you single-handedly dusted ~80% of that list! I think letting people manipulate the list is helping draw attention, but should I draw a larger selection of articles from the database report? Any other feedback is welcome- I'm still trying to learn my way around before I decide to make an account. 170.178.234.233 (talk) 14:13, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I personally think the current standard of 100 items per update is fine, but a larger multitude of opinions might provide a better perspective. Maybe a request for comment on the list's talkpage? If Wikipedia had two swans for every project discussion... (insert here) (talk) 20:06, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

Your Articles on Animals
Hello, I have been recently looking at the New Pages page and have found that you have been doing many pages on Animals. I thank you for your contributions very much. I have noticed that your pages outnumber the small amount of advertisement ones. I think the good people in the end get rewarded here. (Cass)

Hi Will,

How do you write so fast? The whole entire new page section is filled with Rhytiphora. I guess it's easy since you basically copied and pasted(and changed a few things here and there), but how? Do you just open new tabs and copy and paste the info and then press save changes on all of them at the same time?

March 2017 WikiCup newsletter
And so ends the first round of the competition, with 4 points required to qualify for round 2. It would have been 5 points, but when a late entrant was permitted to join the contest in February, a promise was made that his inclusion would not result in the exclusion of any other competitor. To achieve this, the six entrants that had the lowest positive score of 4 points have been added to the 64 people who otherwise would have qualified. As a result, some of the groups have nine contestants rather than eight. Our top four scorers in round 1 were:


 * 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Cas Liber, last year's winner, led the field with two featured articles on birds and a total score of 674.
 * 🇪🇺 Iry-Hor, a WikiCup newcomer, came next with a featured article, a good article and a tally of 282 bonus points for a score of 517. All these points came from the article Nyuserre Ini, an Ancient Egyptian pharaoh,
 * 🇯🇵 1989, another WikiCup newcomer, was in joint third place at 240. 1989 has claimed points for two featured lists and one good article relating to anime and comedy series, all of which were awarded bonus points.
 * Peacemaker67 shared third place with five good articles and thirteen good article reviews, mostly on naval vessels. He is also new to the competition.

The largest number of DYKs have been submitted by Vivvt and The C of E, who each claimed for seven, and MBlaze Lightning achieved eight articles at ITN. Carbrera and Peacemaker67 each claimed for five GAs and Krishna Chaitanya Velaga was well out in front for GARs, having reviewed 32. No featured pictures, featured topics or good topics yet, but we have achieved three featured articles and a splendid total of fifty good articles.

So, on to the second round. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article candidate, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs!

 * I guess that's a good point; after your post I adjusted the taxobox formula in my reference.

Hi Wilhelmina, look time ago we spoke! I had some time to spend on Wikipedia editing the last couple of days. You probably noticed I working on my backlog of articles you created and went ahead and made a new moth articles. Seeing the number you made, I now have a bigger backlog than I had before I starting editing again. So I hope you don't mind to take a break from the moths again to give me the chance to clear the backlog? Seeing the numbers that might take me a month or so..!

May 2017 WikiCup newsletter
The second round of the competition has now closed, with just under 100 points being required to qualify for round 3. YellowEvan just scraped into the next round with 98 points but we have to say goodbye to the thirty or so competitors who didn't achieve this threshold; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Our top scorers in round 2 were:


 * 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Cas Liber, led the field with five featured articles, four on birds and one on astronomy, and a total score of 2049, half of which came from bonus points.
 * 🇯🇵 1989 was in second place with 826 points, 466 of which were bonus points. 1989 has claimed points mostly relating to anime and Japanese-related articles.
 * Peacemaker67 took third place with two FAs, one GA and seven GARs, mostly on naval vessels or military personnel, scoring 543 points.
 * Other contestants who scored over 400 points were Freikorp, Carbrera, and Czar. Of course all these points are now wiped out and the 32 remaining contestants start again from zero in round 3.

Vivvt submitted the largest number of DYKs (30), and MBlaze Lightning achieved 13 articles at ITN. Carbrera claimed for 11 GAs and Argento Surfer performed the most GARs, having reviewed 11. So far we have achieved 38 featured articles and a splendid 132 good articles. Commendably, 279 GARs have been achieved so far, more than double the number of GAs.

So, on to the third round. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Greetings from the Hymenoptera task force!
Hello Wilhelmina Will! I see that you have been busy creating some wasp species page stubs. I'm trying to revamp the taxonomy of Hymenoptera, and it's easier to do so over large numbers of species pages if there is an automatic taxobox (for genus and above) or speciesbox (for species) rather than the old taxobox format. There's a set of taxonomy templates which can be edited to affect all the taxonomic hierarchy lower down--much better than manually changing the information over 100's of pages. Since you are a member of WP Arthropods, as well as Beetle and Lepidoptera but not WP Insects, you may have missed the recent discussion about this. If you have any questions about how to use the automatic taxoboxes or speciesboxes, please drop me a line--I'd be happy to help, and will be putting up a tutorial on the WP Insects page when I am able. Thank you for your contributions! M. A. Broussard (talk) 00:06, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

WikiCup 2017 July newsletter
The third round of the competition has finished in a flurry of last minute activity, with 288 points being required to qualify for round 4. It was a hotly competitive round with all but four of the contestants exceeding the 106 points that was necessary to proceed to round 4 last year. Coemgenus and Freikorp tied on 288, and both have been allowed to proceed, so round 4 now has one pool of eight competitors and one of nine.

Round 3 saw the achievement of a 26-topic Featured topic by MPJ-DK as well as 5 featured lists and 13 featured articles. PanagiotisZois and SounderBruce achieved their first ever featured articles. Carbrera led the GA score with 10, Tachs achieved 17 DYKs and MBlaze Lightning 10 In the news items. There were 167 DYKs, 93 GARs and 82 GAs overall, this last figure being higher than the number of GAs in round 2, when twice as many people were taking part. Even though contestants performed more GARs than they achieved GAs, there was still some frustration at the length of time taken to get articles reviewed.

As we start round 4, we say goodbye to the fifteen or so competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them (some people have fallen foul of this rule and the points have been removed).

If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs!

Pseudoechthistatus obliquefasciatus
Hi, in this edit of Pseudoechthistatus obliquefasciatus, you added a synonym "Pseudechthistatus obliquefasciatus Pic, 1917 (misspelling) "; it seems that you based this on the BioLib.cz source. However, I believe that source is mistaken. If you look at Pic 1917,, he spells it correctly, namely: Pseudoechthistatus obliquefasciatus.

According to Bi & Lin 2016, the genus has been misspelled without the "o" by the following souurces:


 * Pseudechthistatus (sic): Breuning 1942: 132; Breuning 1961: 318; Löbl and Smetana 2010: 286.
 * Breuning S (1942) Études sur les Lamiaires (Coleop. Cerambycidæ): Onzième tribu: Phrissomini Lac. Novitates Entomologicæ 3(supplément 84–88): 102–136
 * Breuning S (1961) Cataloque des lamiaires du Monde (Col., Céramb.) 5. Lieferung. Museum G. Frey, Tutzing, 287–382.
 * Löbl I, Smetana A (Eds) (2010) Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera, Vol. 6: Chrysomeloidae. Apollo Books, Stenstrup, 924 pp.

I've only been able to personally confirm Löbl and Smetana ; they misquote Pic 1917 and list Pseudechthistatus obliquefasciatus, so perhaps this is why the typo was attributed to him.

Since Pic didn't spell this species name this way, I think it would be better to remove it from the species's taxobox and not list it as a synonym. If the misspelling of the genus were to be listed, I think it only needs to be in the entry for Pseudoechthistatus, and the misspelling should be attributed to those who actually made it. Perhaps you could make a note in the page for the genus, though? Although I'm not sure how important a misspelling is.

Any thoughts? Thanks :)

Round 4 of the WikiCup has ended and we move forward into the final round. In round 4, a total of 12 FAs, 3 FLs, 44 GAs, 3 FLs, 79 DYKs, 1 ITN and 42 GARs was achieved, with no FPs or FTs this time. Congratulations to Peacemaker67 on the Royal Yugoslav Navy Good Topic of 36 items, and the 12 featured articles achieved by Cas Liber (5), Vanamonde93 (3), Peacemaker67 (2), Adityavagarwal (1) and 12george1 (1). With a FA scoring 200 points, and bonus points available on top of this, FAs are likely to feature heavily in the final round. Meanwhile Yellow Evan, a typhoon specialist, was contributing 12 DYKs and 10 GAs, while Adityavagarwal and Freikorp topped the GAR list with 8 reviews each. As we enter the final round, we are down to eight contestants, and we would like to thank those of you who have been eliminated for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. The lowest score needed to reach round 5 was 305, and I think we can expect a highly competitive final round.

WikiCup 2018
So the 2017 WikiCup has come to an end. Congratulations to the winner, to the other finalists and to all those who took part. 177 contestants signed up, more than usual, but not all of them submitted entries in the first round. Were editors attracted by the cash prizes offered for the first time this year, or were these irrelevant? Do the rules and scoring need changing for the 2018 WikiCup? If you have a view on these or other matters, why not join in the WikiCup discussion about next year's contest? , and. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:59, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

Friend!
You create a lot of biology articles! I am pretty impressed and admire your diligence. Another editor and myself created a search template which I have used to find sources related to species of bacteria. I am pretty sure it will work with insects also. You put it on the talk page of a 'bug' article. It looks like this: FSS

WikiCup 2018 March newsletter
And so ends the first round of the competition, with 4 points required to qualify for round 2. With 53 contestants qualifying, the groups for round 2 are slightly smaller than usual, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining users.

Our top scorers in round 1 were:


 * 🇺🇸 Aoba47 led the field with a featured article, 8 good articles and 42 GARs, giving a total of 666 points.
 * 🇩🇪 FrB.TG, a WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points, gained from a featured article and masses of bonus points.
 * 🇮🇳 Ssven2, another WikiCup newcomer, was in third place with 403 points, garnered from a featured article, a featured list, a good article and twelve GARs.
 * 🇺🇸 Ceranthor, 🇮🇳 Numerounovedant, Carbrera, 🇳🇱 Farang Rak Tham and 🇷🇴 Cartoon network freak all had over 200 points, but like all the other contestants, now have to start again from scratch. A good achievement was the 193 GARs performed by WikiCup contestants, comparing very favourably with the 54 GAs they achieved.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews.

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

WikiCup 2018 May newsletter
The second round of the 2018 WikiCup has now finished. Most contestants who advanced to the next round scored upwards of 100 points, but two with just 10 points managed to scrape through into round 3. Our top scorers in the last round were:


 * 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Cas Liber, our winner in 2016, with three featured articles
 * Iazyges, with nine good articles and lots of bonus points
 * 🇮🇳 Yashthepunisher, a first time contestant, with two featured lists
 * SounderBruce, a finalist last year, with seventeen good topic articles
 * 🇺🇸 Usernameunique, a first time contestant, with fourteen DYKs
 * Muboshgu, a seasoned competitor, with three ITNs and
 * Courcelles, another first time contestant, with twenty-seven GARs

So far contestants have achieved twelve featured articles between them and a splendid 124 good articles. Commendably, 326 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2018 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met; most of the GARs are fine, but a few have been a bit skimpy.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

WikiCup 2018 July newsletter
The third round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it to the fourth round had at least 227 points. Our top scorers in round 3 were:


 * Courcelles, a first time contestant, with 1756 points, a tally built largely on 27 GAs related to the Olympics
 * 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Cas Liber, our winner in 2016, with two featured articles and three GAs on natural history and astronomy topics
 * SounderBruce, a finalist last year, with a variety of submissions related to transport in the state of Washington

Contestants managed 7 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 120 good articles, 1 good topic, 124 DYK entries, 15 ITN entries, and 132 good article reviews. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 458 GA reviews, in comparison to 244 good articles submitted for review and promoted. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process; several submissions, particularly in abstruse or technical areas, have needed additional work to make them completely verifiable.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Proposed deletion of Donacaula flavusella


The article Donacaula flavusella has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "This article and [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=%22Edda+Lis+Mart%C3%ADnez%22&ns0=1&fulltext=Search another nine articles] in this genus are not now included at GlobIZ and the dissertation by itself is not sufficient (see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tree of Life). If there is no objection to this, I will repeat for the other nine."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

 * Another one for Asura pudibonda, where I said "I think this is a typo for Lyclene pudibunda based on Savela at Lyclene pudibunda (Snellen, 1880) where it says 'Asura pudibonda[sic, recte pudibunda]'."


 * Sorry about the template. I'm going through a list. SchreiberBike &#124; ⌨   00:06, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
