Inside the Whale & Miller
[edit]Dear Orenburg1 - Noticed your Userpage quote from Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer. I don't doubt that you have read Orwell's appraisal of Miller's great novel, but if not, here it is. Worth a second reading; Inside the Whale (1940)

- @CerroFerro: Hi CerroFerro - Thank you for so thoughtfully providing the link to Orwell's essays. I had not seen Orwell's comments on the novel before and have just read them with great interest. There are some other Orwell essays in the link I have not seen before either so I shall read those as well.

Re: Aztec High School shooting
[edit]Hi, you recently tagged Aztec High School shooting as having a dead link for this URL. As you can see, the link works fine. I will, however, add an archival link. I think what might have happened is that due to the weekend, network admins often schedule routine maintenance and down time, particularly on Sundays. I've had to hold off tagging articles for dead links on the weekends due to this reason. Just something I thought you might want to know since it's happened to me. It's also probably something we should add to the tagging guideline. Thanks, again. Viriditas (talk) 21:42, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
- Let me know if this works for you. Viriditas (talk) 21:48, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
- On second thought, looking at the wider set of edits, did you try to correct spelling instead and accidentally insert the dead links template? Just trying to figure it out. Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 21:51, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
- @Viriditas:Hi Viriditas - thanks for your considerate post. I marked the link as a dead link as it gave me a "site can’t be reached" message, as does the link you included in your post on my talk page and the link in the WP article as of now. When I get these I do not usually immediately tag them as a dead link, unless it is a 404 message or similar, but wait a while (in this instance a couple of days), in case it is as you say a maintenance issue or something with my host or the target host. I do not know why the link does not work for me.
- On second thought, looking at the wider set of edits, did you try to correct spelling instead and accidentally insert the dead links template? Just trying to figure it out. Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 21:51, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
- The archival link works fine. Thanks.
- Yes I was looking at the spelling of Mintues but must have inadvertently hit sp on the drop down menu instead of dead link. If the third party spelling is incorrect I do not alter it so as not to change an external record - in this case it says Minutes so I have corrected it in the article.
- The tagging guidelines could probably do with a review.
- Regards.Orenburg1 (talk) 11:20, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
- Wonderful. Thanks for your patience and explanation. Viriditas (talk) 19:50, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Prophecy, prophesied, prophecied
[edit]I see you are changing prophecises to prophesises on multiple pages. I think both forms are wrong. Certainly in British English (which many of these pages are using) it should be prophesies.

Hello Orenburg1!
- The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
- We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
- Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
- Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
- If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.
Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

New contest!
|
This month has seen an incredible amount of activity creating high quality content, with 3 FAs, 3 FACs, and a veritable flood of GAs and GANs, not to mention the FLs and FLCs. To help maintain this high level of activity going forward, WikiProject Tree of Life is starting a new monthly rolling contest, inspired by the contest run by WikiProject Military History. This contest should hopefully help incentivize editors to contribute in ways that are less daunting than writing articles that are GA and FA-quality. Even improving articles from stub to start class, or helping other editors by reviewing their work at GAN, FAC, or FLC, gets you points, with bonus points for articles with especially high page views. Make sure to participate in any way you can, and help improve the 'pedia while having fun and winning Barnstars! |

The first edition of our new monthly contest had perhaps a little less participation than I hoped for, but it still resulted in a huge amount of content work, mainly focussed on de-stubbing articles on little-known species, although we did also see two GAs for Holozoa and Hypericum perforatum. Overall, over 60 articles were improved, with most going from stubs or redlinks to fully fleshed out articles. The winner this month was Simongraham, who improved 21 articles about spiders, mainly to B and C class, and racked up 70 points, over twice the next highest. Hopefully, we'll continue to see such great work next month, with even more participants and even more articles improved.

In second place was simongraham, who got 60 points from 14 articles on various species of jumping spiders. simongraham is still at the top of our overall standings, with 130 points, and Quetzal1964's close behind on 108.

And so ends the fourth edition of the monthly rolling contest, as well as the 2023 Tree of Life Contest as a whole. This month saw simongraham win with a very impressive 120 points from 27 articles. Quetzal1964 was second with 74 points from 37 articles. The annual contest was a close race between simongraham and Quetzal1964; simongraham won first place with 256 points from 64 articles, and Quetzal1964 was second with 250 points from 146 articles. Snoteleks was third with 79 points from 33 articles. Congratulations to everyone who won this year and my gratitude to everyone else who helped raise the quality of articles in our little corner of Wikipedia this year. Additionally, a very Happy New Year to everyone in the project and here's looking forward to continuing our good work in 2024! |
