On 8 January 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Housefly, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that houseflies have been used in germ warfare to distribute cholera? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Housefly. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Housefly), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thank you for coming to my rescue with regard to the Indonesian bus company. New page patrolling seems to bring in a raft of complaints, but most of the articles I have nominated for speedy deletion have been promotional articles by undeclared paid editors. I could just skip the difficult ones in the new page feed, leaving them for somebody else to deal with, but that's not really my way. I have just listed Home management at AfD, not because the subject is not notable, but because the article is so feeble and I didn't know what to do with it. Mrs Beeton would have done much better. At the end of the month, the NPR backlog drive will be over, and I might return to my more normal activities, and we could perhaps work on a neglected insect or other taxon again.

Hi CC, I've started off The English Bread Book with bits culled from the Acton article and a few contemporary reviews I found in the course of my research. I doubt I'll get round to doing much else with it, but feel free to steward it if you wish, or to take it up to another cooking GA, if you feel so inclined.

I included him in WP:Selected anniversaries/February 4, but I need to have a citation for his birth and death dates. Since you undid my edit, please add a citation. Otherwise, I'll have to find another article. Thanks. — howcheng { chat} 03:37, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
On the cats: I accept the decision to make the descriptions of apex predators more concise. I have a good reason for putting in that all cats are formidable predators; without such I can easily imagine the gallery being loaded with cats. In fact I put that line in the caption for the tiger very early when a gallery was being established. Except for the cheetah, the solitary cats are so similar that one can hardly distinguish their techniques. I've seen plenty of big-cat video and the behavior of domestic cats; domestic cats hunt and kill in much the same manner as leopards, and they are about as likely to make a kill in a hunt as any other cat.
All cats are similarly lethal, if to different prey. Pbrower2a ( talk) 16:46, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
Let's begin our dialogue with the above phrase, which you restored to the WP article but which I realise is not your own. Its source is the cited Daily Telegraph list of 20. The reason I left out the claim from the lead was that it is chauvinistic and journalistic, not encyclopaedic. To begin with it contains a couple of novels and only includes works written in English. If we're going to include works of fiction, then the Odyssey, the Aeneid, and arguably the Luciads outclass everything in the Telegraph list, not to mention genuine travel accounts like Xenophon's Anabasis, the Icelandic saga of Eric the Red's Greenland and American voyages, and any number of earlier accounts of African and Asian travels. Colour supplement hype, however impeccably referenced, is not objective and has no place in an encyclopaedia. I'm reasonably sure, from what you say about yourself, that we'll be in agreement on this. Sweetpool50 ( talk) 16:56, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi,
I think my hiatus has ended and I am trying to actively edit here again. Now, I have taken up your offer before we nominate this for GA and I noticed your recent major edits to the article which I will not contest.

Whenever you see edits like [1] by an IP starting with "139.(dotdotdot)," please to revert it and all other edits, good or bad, that IP has made, as it's a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong term anonymous vandal with a history of spamming pages with inappropriate, nonexistent, and inappropriate and nonexistent categories, in addition to posting nonsensical, poorly written to the point of incomprehensible edits that are usually WP:OR + WP:SYNTH opinions. I would have it blocked every time it rears its head, but, I've found that doing so simply accelerates its habit of jumping from one IP to another, so, I just revert every edit it makes.-- Mr Fink ( talk) 21:41, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
What do you think of the unexpected merging of Novocrania anomala into Novocrania? It seems to me to be against policy, the genus name being customarily used as the title of the article when the genus is monotypic, but that is not the case here. Cwmhiraeth ( talk) 10:18, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi. We've both nominated articles for Good Article status in the Culture, sociology and psychology area. I offer to review Reptiles in culture (or Tuberculosis in human culture if you prefer) if you will review Humanlight.

Unfortunately, I am not the creator of the bot so there is not much I can say about the wording used. It is as is in the "fix Dead Links". As far as rescuing is concern, I would have to say that any web reference used in an article is technically in danger as it can disappear at any time (server being decommissioned, domain name not renewed, etc.). Saving an archive is indeed a way to rescue it from being deleted in the future (close or far). The fact that a link is still active is good but also saving a copy helps. I have come across so many references were the link is promising only for the page to be gone/moved and no archives or it is not linked. All the best. BlazingLiberty 16:33, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
Sorry. For the time being I've been limited to be a low-level awkward bastard, but I figured it was a role that I could play. LOL. I am more of a content- oriented editor than a GA person, so I'll try to play a devil's advocate role for now - hoping to make sure the content is not simplified to achieve GA. I know: most GA fans will say this is a ridiculous thing to be worried about, because GA, but anyway, at least I am transparent. I do applaud your efforts to make the article better, and that's hopefully the most important point. You're a good editor and not many people could take this on without making me very nervous! Like I keep saying, I just hope we can keep some sense of how alien and surprising Aristotle was and should still be. He is more radical than Heidegger and Nietzsche put together. It is so hard to explain because his terminology permeates our languages but we do not know what it meant anymore, but I get the feeling you see at least something of my point.-- Andrew Lancaster ( talk) 22:29, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your work on evaluating articles that have been proposed for Good Article status. Many times, reviewers don't get noticed for their work. Reviewing an article and working with other editors to improve content takes effort. In addition, a commitment to put aside a block of time for the review is also needed to finish the process. I don't think most other editors realize what a service you are doing to improve the quality of content. What you do provides an incentive for the continuing improvement of content. You’ve put in the time and effort to improve content and therefore deserve recognition and appreciation.
The Very Best of Regards,
Barbara

I really don't want an edit war so I thought I'd just say here: the article on Honey Bee specifically says that it doesn't refer to stingless social bees. It's therefore not appropriate to talk about the Mayans raising and exploiting those explicitly-excluded bees. If you want to to include them, you need to change the up-article text to not exclude them. ("Some other types of related bees produce and store honey, including the stingless honey bees, but only members of the genus Apis are true honey bees.")

I would also like to ask you about the circular redirects in the taxonomy section of the article leading back to Cestoda.

I could create stubs instead, but have nothing meaningful to say about the taxa. What do you think? Cwmhiraeth ( talk) 11:09, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
Cwmhiraeth: gosh this is a complicated group! I think we should have a table of life-cycles as they vary widely by Order with one or two intermediate hosts (for different larval stages) and a definitive host for the adult: though the adults are sometimes in exactly one vertebrate species, sometimes in a wide range of possible definitive hosts. I've added host sequences to the phylogeny for now, which makes some sense as (by Fahrenholz's rule and Eichler's rule) parasite phylogeny often mirrors host phylogeny. We should mention and link that fact, too. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 09:30, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

This is to let you know that the Octopus article has been scheduled as today's featured article for July 30, 2018. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/July 30, 2018, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1100 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.

On 19 June 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Sea urchin, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

You may not have noticed, but in addition to reverting a number of taxonomic classifications to schemes last used 10-20 years ago or longer (FYI: the only citations that they might have provided are all out-of-date or recent sources based on those same out-of-date original sources), Knson also removed all the edit war warnings and such that you and others had placed on his talk page here.

Hi there,
I saw your GA review for Talk:Monarch butterfly migration/GA1, where Barbara (WVS) felt she could not continue. Looking at it, it looks like the only bulletpoints that haven't been resolved are the ones about the table of organizations and the images? That seems pretty doable to me -- I've not gotten into the literature, though, so if it's more than that we'll see. Thanks. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 13:41, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Dear Chiswick Chap, You took some interest in the gallery for the above, some years ago. If you have time, I'd appreciate your thoughts on the images as they stand following a recent expansion I've done. I've actually removed the gallery and tried to place the images used in some relation to the text. I'm particularly interested in the overall impact/effect, the sizing, the spacing, whether the ones used best illustrate the "points" being made etc. etc. I'll also be rolling this one along to Peer Review at some point and your input there would also be much valued. And last, a very big favour - could you do a map? I know you've done some and this article desperately needs one. I've requested it here, Wikipedia:Graphics Lab/Map workshop but haven't had any response. I know it's a huge ask and will absolutely understand if you've neither the time nor the inclination.
