Hi Cwmhiraeth, In Tyrrhenian painted frog, at Distribution and habitat section, The Corsican painted frog is written at the very beginning. IMHO, it is to be fixed. Cheers --Hanberke (talk) 14:36, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

You are quite right and I have corrected it. Another anomaly is the disagreement between the two AmphibiaWeb references I use on the page. They both describe how to tell the difference between the two species but they contradict each other. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:20, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

I can recommend Reptiles and Amphibians of Britain and Europe (Collins Field Guide) by Nicholas Arnold and Denys Ovenden (7 Oct 2002) which covers all the European species and many variants and subspecies. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:25, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

This was another book that I borrowed from the library at one time. But mostly, I think AmphibiaWeb is very good. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:47, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

Nice work on expanding stubs - just before you add a swathe more, a few (~4-5?) of the ones you've added still have stub tags at the bottom. Cheers, Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 19:32, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I've seen that you translated - very well - the article Astropyga radiata I wrote in French. If you are used to this, I am currently writing plenty of echinoderms articles in French, including all the extant and extinct classes (see fr:Echinodermata as a beginning). If you need any help about the translation, you can ask me ! Congrats and best regards, FredD (talk) 16:03, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

I am not sure whether I did translate the article but I rather doubt it, especially as I see I nominated it for DYK. If I had, then I should have tagged it as such. For the future, I might use some of the articles you are writing, especially when they are as well referenced as Astropyga radiata is. Often foreign language Wikipedia articles seem to be largely unsourced and then I don't like to use them except perhaps for some general information. For example, some species may have papers published on their larval development or the secondary metabolites they contain without giving the basic description of the organism that I want to include in my article.

• To let you know that the talk page to
  Luzon Hawk-Owl was a redirect to "Talk:Philippine Hawk-Owl", so you have edited the Luzon Hawk-Owl and updated the class to Start on the Philippine Hawk-Owl talk page. The Luzon H-O talk page did not have a WP banner and so it was not rated as a Stub at the start of the competition, so you probably can not claim 10 points for expanding it, but the judges will clarify this point. I think that you also can not claim one point for upgrading it from a Stub to a Start. I created a talk page for the Luzon H-O from a redirect today. You might like to put in "class=start" and complete the rating and ask the judges to adjudicate. I have changed the WP banner on the Philippine H-O back to a Stub class. Snowman (talk

• Also, my interpretation of the IUCN page is that the taxon is not recognised by IUCN, which use the pre-split form of the complex as one species; see the taxoboxes for the other owls in the group. I have amended the IUCN status. Note that on the IUCN website the binomial name matches the Wiki, but the common name does not, which would need an explanation before you assume that the taxon used on the Wiki and the IUCN are the same. Snowman (talk) 17:37, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
• Note that the new version of IUCN is Version 2013.2. Snowman (talk) 17:51, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

I did notice that the talk page had the wrong title and considered what I should do about it. I came to the conclusion that I would leave it to someone more competent than me. I will ask on the competition page whether I can claim 10 points for expanding it. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:58, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Of course, when you click on a redirect you go to the target page, and after doing that you can go to the actual redirect by clicking on the little blue link at the top of the target page. The little blue link only appears if you are sent to a page via a redirect. The redirect page will be shown and you will be able to edit it in the normal way. If there is a double redirect, then I think that you do this for each redirected step. There are others ways of getting to a redirect, but that is seems to me to be the simplest.

Hello Cwmhiraeth, and welcome to the 2014 WikiCup! Your submission page can be found here. The competition began on 1 January. There have been a few small changes from last year; the rules can be read in full at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring, and the page also includes a summary of changes. One important rule to remember is that only content on which you have completed significant work, and nominated, in 2014 is eligible for points in the competition- the judges will be checking! As ever, this year's competition includes some younger editors. If you are a younger editor, you are certainly welcome, but we have written an advice page at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Advice for younger editors for you. Please do take a look. Any questions should be directed to one of the judges, or left on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup. Signups will close at the end of January, and the first round will end on 26 February; the 64 highest scorers at that time will make it to round 2. Good luck!

LittleJerry (talk) 18:02, 5 January 2014 (UTC) Well, that's good news. I am afraid I was not as much help as I should have been. During December I did almost nothing except expand stubs to start class articles! Do you have anything else in mind for the future? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:09, 5 January 2014 (UTC) Not really. I'm semi-retiring from Wiki, at least for a while. I'm burnt out on major projects and have personal things focus on. Thanks for your participation in Manta, Starfish and Croc and good luck on any future FACs. (I'm assuming you'll work on salamander) I may attempt another FAC (likely a single species) if I have the time and energy. But that won't be for quite a while. LittleJerry (talk) 18:39, 5 January 2014 (UTC) Well, all the best for your personal things. Meanwhile, Cwmhiraeth, shall we attempt to put Crocodilia on the front page? It won't take much to condense the lead into a summary. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:34, 6 January 2014 (UTC) Indeed, Wikipedia has benefited from your FAC efforts over a range of important animal groups LittleJerry, and you will be missed. Meanwhile, we might as well go for Crocodilia at TFA. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:08, 6 January 2014 (UTC) He's just been awarded a well-deserved Natural History Shield. Here's a first draft of the TFA blurb (maybe it needs pruning a little further): Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:40, 6 January 2014 (UTC) Crocodilia is an John Mandeville in 1400 and mentioned again by William Shakespeare . I have edited the blurb a little. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:55, 6 January 2014 (UTC) Great. Shall we go for it at once or is there any particular day to consider (Steve Irwin day, Nov. 15 is a vague possibility, I guess)? Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:03, 6 January 2014 (UTC) I should have thought at once, before it weathers too much! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:14, 6 January 2014 (UTC) I've put it there. So far only ColonelHenry has visited. I see that Salamander is making progress - would you like me to have a go at the myths and legends? It mentions fire already, but there should be some good quotes available, I think. Another article which could do with the treatment is Whale, though it might be a bit of a 'large' topic! Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:44, 8 January 2014 (UTC) Good. I started on Salamander last year but didn't complete work on it. Your help with the myths and legends, or any other section, would be welcome. I have decided that I will try to bring some large article on an order, or similar taxon, to GA each month in 2014. I was thinking more about invertebrates such as Mysida (which I see has a splendid section called "mysid culture") but Whale would be quite possible. The trouble is, I view everything from a Wikicup point of view, and Whale is a high-scoring article while Mysida is a fairly low scoring one. This means doing Mysida early in the competition and Whale later when points are more urgently needed. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:28, 8 January 2014 (UTC) OK, Salamander it is. I think the Mysid culture is in an aquarium! Happy to go alone with Wikicupping, it seemed to work well last year, and it sounds as if Whale might happen later. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:00, 8 January 2014 (UTC) I think whale might be difficult since "whale" is not monotypic but refer to several species that are not all closely related (sperm whales, killer whales and pilot whales are more related to dolphins than other "whales"). Cetacea may be better. LittleJerry (talk) 01:18, 13 January 2014 (UTC) You are probably right. We will have to think about that. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:09, 14 January 2014 (UTC) If and when I do return for one more FA project, it will probably be narwhal. Throwing that out there. LittleJerry (talk) 04:36, 17 January 2014 (UTC) I'll be happy to cooperate with narwhal if you would like some help. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:54, 17 January 2014 (UTC) Out of curiosity, what are your other future FA projects? LittleJerry (talk) 01:51, 10 February 2014 (UTC) I plan to do Camel and Ostrich, for both of which I have good books and both would score large numbers of points for the WikiCup if successful. That would be in the summer. I will probably take Salamander on to FAC as well for similar reasons. That has just become a GA and should not need much further work. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:10, 10 February 2014 (UTC) That sounds cool. Emu was demoted a couple years among and Ostrich would make a great replacement. Any invertebrates? LittleJerry (talk) 14:01, 10 February 2014 (UTC) Some invertebrate groups to GA anyway but I hadn't really thought about FA. I'm open to suggestions. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:12, 10 February 2014 (UTC) You mentioned Jellyfish a while back. LittleJerry (talk) 20:21, 10 February 2014 (UTC) My Invertebrate Zoology textbook has a whole chapter on Cnidaria from which the jellyfish-related part would have to be extracted. My preference would be for Sea anemone, which I think would be easier. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:43, 10 February 2014 (UTC) Love the uncited one-liner 'The internal anatomy of anemones is quite complex.', sounds like a floundering exam answer... would be an interesting article to work on. Plenty to say on symbiosis, too. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:54, 11 February 2014 (UTC) Yeah, I see what you mean. Would you start sea anemone as a GA? LittleJerry (talk) 21:09, 10 February 2014 (UTC) ( Canada Goose at FA at some time? – Connormah (talk ) 01:30, 11 February 2014 (UTC) @LittleJerry, yes. @Connormah, I haven't thought about editing Canada Goose and doubt I have enough interest in it to take it to FA. However I see it is included in my incomplete set of British Birds by Witherby (3 out of 5 volumes found in a charity shop), and might consider taking it to GA if you wished to collaborate. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:25, 11 February 2014 (UTC) What invertebrate GA projects do you have in mind? LittleJerry (talk) 14:01, 11 February 2014 (UTC) How about we have a go at sea anemone after Easter? Would that suit? As for other GA invertebrate projects, I plan to work on various obscure phyla/classes/orders, such as Mysida and Ostracod, with articles that are currently not too long but where I have good basic information from my "Invertebrate Zoology". Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:07, 11 February 2014 (UTC) Unforunately, I don't have much info on anemone and "Invertebrate Zoology" is too expansive for me. LittleJerry (talk) 21:36, 11 February 2014 (UTC) Its okay. Keep doing what you're doing. I was just curious. I'll probably return sometime for atleast one more FAC. LittleJerry (talk) 23:13, 11 February 2014 (UTC) Sorry for the later reply re:Canada Goose - I'll definitely keep that offer in mind! – Connormah (talk) 15:52, 19 February 2014 (UTC) I was thinking of maybe bringing Tiger to GA. Would you be interested? Maybe Chip can help again. LittleJerry (talk) 19:28, 10 March 2014 (UTC) It is a very long article but then again it looks pretty well-referenced so there might not be too much work involved. I wouldn't want to take it to FAC but might join you working towards GAN. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:58, 10 March 2014 (UTC) That what I was thinking; doing see fixing up and maybe add in a little more info. I have no intention of bringing it to FA. LittleJerry (talk) 20:59, 10 March 2014 (UTC) IUCN IUCN3.1 refers to version 3.1, which has not changed since 2001. It says what Least Concern, Vulnerable, Critical and so on mean. Some of these have a suffix of letters and numbers, which are also defined in the criteria version 3.1. For example for the Hyacinth Macaw, the criteria are Endangered A2cd, see IUCN website species page.

I'm not sure to change that. Cheers/ --Hanberke (talk) 07:22, 7 January 2014 (UTC) Thanks for noticing that.

The original hook fact has now been removed from the article so I've added a new ALT hook, so I'd be very grateful if you could have another look at it. Thanks, Acather96 (click here to contact me) 14:13, 11 January 2014 (UTC) I see that Sasata is expanding the article. I will leave it for a couple of days for things to settle in case there is more expansion. I think your ALT1 hook has too many uses of the word "potentially", and the proposed hook fact is a bit complex for DYK. You could instead have a hook referring to the smell of the fungus.

I'm polishing the article a bit before nominating it and need to read it through carefully - it is some time since I did the main work on it. Are you good at American spelling? I would prefer to change it all into British English but think it is inadvisable, especially as we only have a few species of newt in this country while they have hundreds of species of salamander over there. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:23, 13 January 2014 (UTC) Thanks. We shouldn't change the ENGVAR without good reason, and I don't think there is one here. I can look for the obvious defence/defense and colour/color type spellings. We could perhaps include a Salamander etymology but it's pretty dull stuff (unknown prob. Eastern origin). Oh, and we should probably move the refs out of the lead. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:47, 13 January 2014 (UTC) OK. I plan to concentrate on it tomorrow morning. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:07, 13 January 2014 (UTC) I've checked the whole text, changed a few spellings, and added some commas.

The is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2010. If you are yet to join the competition, don't worry- the judges have agreed to keep the signups open for a few more days. By a wide margin, our current leader is newcomer Godot13 (submissions), whose set of 14 featured pictures, the first FPs of the competition, was worth 490 points. Here are some more noteworthy scorers: TropicalAnalystwx13 (submissions) were the first people to score, for the good article Tropical Storm Bret (1981) and its good article review respectively. 12george1 was also the first person to score in 2012 and 2013. 2014 North American polar vortex . WonderBoy1998 (submissions) scored points for an early good topic, finishing off Wikipedia:Featured topics/She Wolf. TheAustinMan (submissions) scored the first bonus points of the competition, for his work on Typhoon Vera. Igordebraga (submissions) has scored the highest number of bonus points for a single article, for the high-importance Jurassic Park (film). Featured articles, featured lists, featured topics and featured portals are yet to play a part in the competition. The judges have removed a number of submissions which were deemed ineligible. Typically, we aim to see work on a project, followed by a nomination, followed by promotion, this year. We apologise for any disappointment caused by our strict enforcement this year; we're aiming to keep the competition as fair as possible. Wikipedians interested in friendly competition may be interested to take part in The Core Contest; unlike the WikiCup, The Core Contest is not about audited content, but, like the WikiCup, it is about article improvement; specifically, The Core Contest is about contribution to some of Wikipedia's most important article. Of course, any work done for The Core Contest, if it leads to a DYK, GA or FA, can earn WikiCup 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 Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs!

I nominated Chiswick Chap for his hard work on the Sea article, but there were two hard working editors on that article, and they both deserve credit. I've been holding off as long as I could so that it'd come as a surprise. Cwmhiraeth is a fantastic editor who's talents go far beyond that one article. He's written over 500 DYK articles, and many articles besides. His writing talent is sufficient to bring many articles to featured and good quality. If you think you've heard his name before, it's because he won last year's Wikicup! I'm proud to nominate him as Editor of the Week.

The Lauridromia intermedia article has more than enough to justify an article. I don't know if this article meets any specific notability policy. But there is enough to justify an article if it does. All it really needs is some extra references right now. Kingjeff (talk) 07:14, 10 February 2014 (UTC) I just like to see a lot of sources. There could be more sources in the description section and for "Crabs in the family Dromiidae are often known as "sponge crabs" due to their habit of carrying bits of sponge on their carapace."

You didn't say, so I need to inquire, since if you didn't do it then it hasn't been done and a tick is premature. Please let me know. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:31, 19 February 2014 (UTC) I was unable to check for close paraphrasing because the main paper by De Andrade was not available online. Anyway, if you care to read such published scientific papers you will find they are so full of technical terms as to be virtually incomprehensible to the uninitiated. Since this article is mostly comprehensible, it is unlikely to suffer from close paraphrasing. If it copied the original too closely it would be unlikely to have the grammatical and other errors which it contains. It mentions "anatomizing ridges" for example which I would have thought needed an extra "s" to give "anastomizing ridges", but I wouldn't like to make that alteration because I might be wrong.

Last year, 19 points secured a place; before that, 11 (2012) or 8 (2011) were enough. This is both a blessing and a curse. While it shows the vigourous good health of the competition, it also means that we have already lost many worthy competitors. Our top three scorers were: Treasury Note (1890–91) . Adam Cuerden (submissions), a WikiCup veteran and a finalist last year, Adam is also a featured picture specialist, focusing on the restoration of historical images. This month's promotions have included a carefully restored set of artist William Russell Flint's work. WikiRedactor (submissions), another WikiCup newcomer. WikiRedactor has claimed points for good article reviews and good articles relating to pop music, many of which were awarded bonus points. Articles include Sky Ferreira, Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus and "Wrecking Ball" (Miley Cyrus song). Other competitors of note include: Hahc21 (submissions), who helped take Thirty Flights of Loving through good article candidates and featured article candidates, claiming the first first featured article of the competition. Natalia Kills discography . Cwmhiraeth (submissions), who takes the title of the contributor awarded the highest bonus point multiplier (resulting in the highest scoring article) of the competition so far. Her high-importance salamander, now a good article, scored 108 points. After such a competitive first round, expect the second round to also be fiercely fought. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2, but please do not update your submission page until March (UTC). 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.

Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of FunkMonk -- FunkMonk (talk ) 13:00, 3 March 2014 (UTC) Template:Did you know nominations/Kendallina Hi, this is to enable your full argumentation about the DYK nomination for Kendallina. The one source it is based upon (Moore, Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, Part O., 1959) has the following text for the family: "Family PARABOLINOIDIDAE Lochman, 1956. Exoskeleton opisthoparian, subisopygous. Glabella tapering to truncate-tapering, with 3 pairs of distinct to obsolete lateral furrows; frontal area 0.25 to 0.3 of length of cranidium, with distinct to obsolete anterior border furrow; eye ridges distinct or faint, eyes small to medium in size; fixigenae variable in width and position, with posterior areas triangular to straplike; librigenae rectangular, with genal spines or rounded angles. Pygidium transverse to subtriangular, with convex axis tapered nearly full length to broadly rounded end; border furrow usually obsolete; border narrow, poorly defined; pleurae may end in 1 to 4 pairs of marginal spines or margin smooth. Surface finely granulose or smooth. U.Cam.". The information in this text, and a few from still higher taxa, and information deducted form the illustration provided, I have used to supplement the generic description: "Kendallina BERG, nom. subsl. herein [pro Kendallia BERG, 1953 (non EVERMANN & SHAW 1927)] [·Conocephaliles eryon' HALL, 1863]: Glabella moderately convex, truncate-tapering, axial furrows shallow, may have pair of anterior pits, I or 2 pairs of very faint lateral furrows; frontal area 0.25 of length of cranidium, narrow (Ir.), anterior border furrow straight, very faint, anterior border narrow (sag.), anterior margin bluntly pointed; eyes small, opposite anterior third of glabella; fixigenae horizontal or slightly upsloping, with palpebral areas 0.25 of glabellar width, posterior areas triangular, of medium width (exsag.), almost same in length (11'.) as occipital ring; librigenae with medium-length genal spines. Pygidium narrowly transverse; axis same in width as pleural fields, with 3 axial rings and terminal; 4 pleurae with obsolete interpleural grooves and shallow pleural furrows; posterior margin smooth. U.Cam.( Francon.), C.USA.--FIG. 202,1. ·K. eryon (HALL), Wis.; 1a,b, ceph., pyg., X3 (376)." I checked all the elements of the description against the illustration, the wikicommons file of my own specimen and other (copywrited) photos on the web. I deleted characters that were never visible or that were contradicted by these photos and the illustration in the Treatise. I hope you'll be able to fully evaluate the article now. I'm told a publication on the species found at the location of the figured specimen is in preparation. I'll check all information against that article as soon as I get a hold of it. Dwergenpaartje (talk) 21:13, 3 March 2014 (UTC) Hello Dwergenpaartje, I appreciate how difficult it is to write a technical description of a species from a limited amount of published information and you did well. I approved the article at DYK and it appeared on the main page and that finishes my involvement with the article. Keep up the good work, - there are plenty more extinct species without current Wikipedia articles! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:06, 4 March 2014 (UTC) Template:Did you know nominations/Segar Bastard I've responded to your comments at Template:Did you know nominations/Segar Bastard. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 10:56, 4 March 2014 (UTC) I have a tool, "Page size", on the left of my screen that gives page sizes and I believe this is the tool used in DYK for assessing sizes. I forget how I got the tool, maybe through the preferences tab at the top of the screen? If you asked BlueMoonset, he would tell you. Anyway, with regard to this article, your expansion is approximately x 4.5 at the moment and only needs a few more sentences to become fivefold (4275 B --> 4805 B). And while you are about it, it would not be difficult to expand it a little further to 5000 B which would earn you bonus points in the WikiCup.
