Some overeager user keeps reverting my update on Inykhnum. I simply updated, emended and actualized the article after standards like Penebui, Sehener and such. Would you help me out here? Regards;--Nephiliskos (talk) 09:08, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
Hello, Casliber -- I was looking at the article on Persoonia nutans, and I made a few minor copy-edits. I noticed that near the beginning there was an incomplete sentence. I thought about just adding it to the end of the previous sentence after a comma, but I thought that would imply that Robert Brown collected it, and I wasn't sure it was he who collected it in 1802. Can you look at it and fix that? Corinne (talk) 23:47, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
On 26 January 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Isopogon anemonifolius, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Australian shrub Isopogon anemonifolius (pictured) was first cultivated in the UK in 1791? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Isopogon anemonifolius. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, daily totals), 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. |

I just read Persoonia terminalis. It is a very well written article. I just made a few small edits; hope you approve of them. There is one sentence that is not clear to me. It is this sentence which appears in the Ecology section:
In the same genus as what? Are you saying that there are other bees in a genus (what genus?) that specialise in feeding on Persoonia flowers but this one subgenus does not feed on Persoonia flowers and thus is not an effective pollinator? Or feeds on Persoonia terminalis but is not an effective pollinator anyway? Corinne (talk) 00:26, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

WCSP here regards Crinum pedunculatum as a variety of Crinum asiaticum, as does the (old) Flora of Australia online here. You may know of more recent Australian sources with a position on this issue. Unless there are sources that disagree, I'm inclined to merge the two articles. Peter coxhead (talk) 20:11, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Isopogon anethifolius you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.

The article Isopogon anethifolius you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Isopogon anethifolius for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

Wow, thanks for all the feedback! It's clear to me that I need to add a lot more general explanation (this is an amateur interest, but as you may have gathered it's something I'm quite interested in) and am working on this now, and also on upgrading some of the references.
I've also put in a gallery with a few pictures that wouldn't fit in the main body of the article as viewed on a normal desktop screen, and am looking into adding a timeline to keep facts a bit clearer. (This is something I've put in my rewrite of the Bembo article, which I've also been getting ready for a GA nom, to give you some idea of what I'm planning.)
I've jotted some notes in the GA nom page about plans, but I wouldn't bother taking another look just yet until I've got everything you flagged up cleaned up. Blythwood (talk) 15:49, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

00:37, 17 February 2016 (UTC)Hi Cas. All the posts on your Talk page justify left/right wall to wall after a soft line break. That is because near the top of your page your archive styling has an unclosed div> tag.
If you want the justification to cease after the archive box and not run all the way down the page, simply add a </div> tag right after the |} which will close the ((archive box)) template.
Currently, this is the line that starts the justification:
<div style="font-family: Arial, san-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify;">
And, this is where you want to stop it:
* [[User talk:Casliber/Archive 53|Archive 53]]: January 2016 –
|}
So, add a closing div tag like this:
* [[User talk:Casliber/Archive 53|Archive 53]]: January 2016 –
|}
</div>

Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible.

Hi, Casliber! I hope you can consult me on the matter. There are current templates ((HSLtoRGB.R)), ((HSLtoRGB.G)), and ((HSLtoRGB.B)), which redefine a color from defined in the HSL color space to that very color in the RGB color space. I have constructed templates that do the conversion from the HSV color space to the RGB space: User:R8R Gtrs/Template:HSVtoRGB.R, User:R8R Gtrs/Template:HSVtoRGB.G, User:R8R Gtrs/Template:HSVtoRGB.B, and User:R8R Gtrs/Template:HSVtoHEX, which collects the data obtained from the previous three templates. They could be useful for other editors, and I think it would be a good idea to transfer them to the main template space; what is the procedure? Of course, I could simply copy and paste the code, but that would ruin the histories of changes.--R8R (talk) 15:04, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

Casliber, I loved the idea of this contest, but sorry, I've been less impressed by the implementation. I wouldn't come here to crib about it only you said on the contest talk page that you were considering repeating it.
Seven of the eight prizes were to be picked randomly; after the event it's announced that all eight will be. So no judgement on merit - a relatively trivial improvement to a lead has as good a chance of winning as an in-depth quality job. This is an incentive to send in loads of entries with not much work done on each, as more entrants would realise next time round. Not the way surely to achieve the real improvements in lead quality that we would like to see?
I realise you will be very busy with Arbcom at present, but others could have been asked to help. If you do re-run the contest I'd suggest recruiting a panel of judges, drawing up some criteria of merit for them to judge by, and rewarding merit as well as quantity. Nonetheless, all credit to your initiative that got some attention to 600 leads this past month: Noyster (talk), 21:10, 1 February 2016 (UTC) (Not myself a contestant)

Cas Liber, I thought I'd let you know that the nominator had responded to your review. Since that response didn't include a new suggested hook to replace the problematic ones, either a suggestion could come from you or I suppose you could point out that without a satisfactory hook, you wouldn't have any option other than to close the nomination...

Over the past several decades, Corsican nationalism has been calling for the island's recognition as a nation since French annexation.What is "Corsican nationalism"? A party? A movement? Something else? And "as a nation since French annexation" would lead one to believe that the annexation occurred several decades ago, not nearly two and a half centuries. Is this a modern independence movement? It seems that way to me, so why not say so. And why not explain the political situation to start with: Genoese control for over 400 years, moves toward a republic in the 1750s, but the French take over in 1768 after Genoa cedes control in the Treaty of Versailles that year. Basically, unless you click on every single wikilink and read up on it, and then click on wikilinks in the linked articles, you don't have any idea what happened. The same thing with the second sentence: I assumed the referendum took place after the 2014 cease fire, when it was actually conducted in 2003. So I guess I don't agree: I don't think this article is ready for prime time. I think it ought to get a thorough copy edit before it is passed through to the main page. On a technical point, DYKs can't pass as long as there are bare URL refs, and the article has one now (FN3). BlueMoonset (talk) 08:23, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Greetings, all! We would like to announce the start of the 3rd GA Cup, a competition that seeks to encourage the reviewing of Good article nominations! Thus far, there have been two GA Cups; both were successful in reaching our goals of significantly reducing the traditionally long queue at GAN, so we're doing it again. Currently, there are over 500 nominations listed and about 450 articles waiting to be reviewed. We hope that we can again make an impact this time. The 3rd GA Cup will begin on March 1, 2016. Four rounds are currently scheduled (which will bring the competition to a close on July 31, 2016), but this may change based on participant numbers. There will be slight changes to the scoring system, based upon feedback we've received in the months since GA Cup #2. The sign-up and submissions process will remain the same. We're also looking to spice up the competition a bit by running parallel competitions. Finally, there's a possibility of assisting a WikiProject Good Articles backlog drive in the last three weeks of February, before our competition. Please stay tuned for more information as we get it. Sign-ups for the upcoming competition are currently open and will close on February 20, 2015. Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors, so sign-up now! If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ page and/or contact one of the judges. Cheers from 3family6, Figureskatingfan, Jaguar and MrWooHoo. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletters, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

I intend to read it through soon, but just now I was looking at the images, and I have a question. In the de Lacaille drawing (well, I should say the c. 1756 drawing) of the constellation showing the easel and palette, Canopus is shown to the right of the easel. In the photograph of the night sky showing the constellation, the bright star, which the caption says is Canopus, is to the left of the line drawn to show the constellation.

That's it, the first round is done, sign-ups are closed and we're into round 2. Forty-seven competitors move into this round (a bit shy of the expected 64), and we are roughly broken into eight groups of six. The top two of each group will go through to round 3, and then the top scoring 16 "wildcards" across all groups.
Twenty-two Good Articles were submitted, including three by Cyclonebiskit (submissions), and two each by MPJ-DK (submissions), Hurricanehink (submissions), 12george1 (submissions), and Cas Liber (submissions). Twenty-one Featured Pictures were claimed, including 17 by Adam Cuerden (submissions) (the Round 1 high scorer). Thirty-one contestants saw their DYKs appear on the main page, with a commanding lead (28) by Cwmhiraeth (submissions). Twenty-nine participants conducted GA reviews with J Milburn (submissions) completing nine.

Hi there. Just a heads up about your DYK nom of Tortotubus. A great hook and nice article, but it looks to me like it was forked from Ornatifilum on 3/2, based on some recent research, so doesn't qualify as it hasn't been expanded fivefold.

Cas Liber, Queue 5 was promoted with an incorrectly formatted hook; the Kankakee Mallow does not have the required space after the ellipsis, and needs to.
If you could please fix this, it would be greatly appreciated. And you might want to make a habit of checking for such formatting issues when promoting preps to queues, because I've caught quite a few at prep recently but I'm not on often enough to catch them reliably: things like the parentheses around "(pictured)" not being italicized when they should be, and that missing space after the ellipsis as happened this time. Many thanks, and thanks for doing so many prep to queue promotions. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:48, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Can you help on this please? After my DYK was correctly promoted to queue 5, some editors took it upon themselves to change the hook, without notifying me as the hook creator that they were doing so, and got the hook changed so that it is now incorrect. See here. I have relisted the original DYK request. Can you either (ideally) allow the DYK to go through with the originally promoted hook ( ... that Strugnell's Haiku adumbrate cherry blossoms, hair loss and pub opening times?) or elkse get it withdrawn from queue 5. Apologies for the short timescale here but I have only just fiound out. It seems extraordinary that once the hook has been promoted it can be subject to third-party alteration. thanks, --Smerus (talk) 23:50, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

20:20, 17 March 2016 (UTC)The article is not stable due to edit warring on the page.I don't think it's likely that the nomination will be picked up for review before several days have passed, which is a good thing, as it will give the article time to settle back into a stable editing environment.

Just to let you know that if you want to fix Wikipedia:Featured articles that haven't been on the Main Page, you need to make changes at WP:Featured articles because WP:FANMP is generated each day by a bot from the latest version of WP:FA. If you don't fix WP:FA, then any changes at WP:FANMP will be overwritten (as I discovered the hard way some years ago!) I added your change to WP:FA yesterday, so all is well.

I was just reading the article on Calostoma cinnabarinum. In the last paragraph of the article, it says that the Otomi people in Mexico "reported that immature specimens of C. cinnabarinum, known locally as yemitas". Since part of that word looked familiar, I decided to look into it. I knew yema meant the yolk of an egg, so yemitas would mean "small egg-yolks". When I went to the Spanish Wikipedia and did a search for "yema", it led me to a substantial article that had nothing to do with egg-yolks. Apparently, a yema is a kind of bud at the end of tree or shrub branches. See [4]. This is a meaning I had not known about. Then I did a search for yema in the Spanish Wiktionary and found an entry containing not only several definitions but two photos, one of which is a plant bud and one a photo of egg yolks. See [5]. I think it's pretty clear that the Otomi were using a Spanish term, but I wonder whether they were thinking of the tree bud meaning or the egg yolk meaning. If you can figure it out, perhaps it would be interesting to provide a two-word definition right after yemitas (or link it). – Corinne (talk) 02:56, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Greetings, GA Cup competitors! Wednesday saw the end of Round 1. Sainsf took out Round 1 with an amazing score of 765. In second place, MPJ-DK earned an astounding 742 points, and in third place, FunkMonk received 610 points. In Round 1, 206 reviews were completed, more than any other year! At the beginning of March, there were 595 outstanding nominations in the GAN queue; by the end of Round 1, there were 490. We continue to make a difference at GAN and throughout Wikipedia, something we should all be proud of. Thanks to all our competitors for helping to make the GA Cup a continued success, and for your part in helping other editors improve articles. We hope to see all remaining users fighting it out in Round 2 so we can lower the backlog as much as possible. To qualify for the second round, you needed to make it into the top 16 of participants. Users were placed in 4 random pools of 4. To qualify for Round 3, the top 2 in each pool will progress, and there will also be one wildcard. This means that the participant who comes in 9th place (all pools combined) will also move on. Round 2 will start on April 1 at 0:00:01 UTC and end on April 28 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about Round 2 and the pools can be found here Also, remember that a major rule change will go into effect starting on April 1, which marks the beginning of Round Two. Round 1 had an issue brought up in the rules, which we are correcting with this clarification. We believe that this change will make the competition more inherently fair. The new rule is: All reviews must give the nominator (or anyone else willing to improve the article) time to address the issues at hand, even if the article would qualify for what is usually called a "quick fail" in GA terms. To avoid further confusion, we have updated the scoring page, replacing the term "quick fail" with the term "fail without granting time for improvements". We expect all reviewers to put a review on hold for seven days in cases such as these as well, in order to apply the same standards to every competitor. The judges will strictly enforce this new rule. Good luck and have fun! Cheers from Figureskatingfan, 3family6, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletter, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant still competing, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

Cas Liber, I'm afraid one of your hooks (on Welwitschiaceae) was removed from Queue 1, and since Fram doesn't tend to replace hooks he's removed (I have asked that he do so, but we're a little over four hours away from Queue 1 moving to the main page so he may not see the request) I'm hoping you can move a hook from prep to queue if it hasn't been done by the time you see this: I've suggested a candidate in my post to the relevant section (WT:DYK#Removed article spun off from older one from Queue1 (next hook on main page!)).
I'm afraid Fram has a point about the article: according to DYK rules, the material in new articles must all of it be new, not taken from pre-existing articles. However, he has missed the part of the rules that says that if any material is copied from other articles, it must be 5x expanded. According to my calculations, 955 prose characters of text was copied; that means that the article would have to be 4775 prose characters long; it is a long way from the current 2142 prose characters, but if you would like to pursue the nomination further and expand the article that much in the next several days, I'd be willing to reopen the nomination for you. Please let me know. BlueMoonset (talk) 07:50, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Cas Liber, I'm hoping you can help me clean up a mess in the GA space: we've had a new editor, W5nio (186 edits, of which 28 have been deleted) doing drive-by approvals of GA nominations: three in eight minutes today, and a couple more along with other problematic GA-related edits, all in seven minutes, on April 6. Here's a link to the user's history. I have posted to this user's page noting the issues with his or her actions, and requesting that no further GA-related edits are done. However, a clean-up is still needed.
I was hoping you could delete the following three review pages, all created by W5nio, so we can get genuine reviewers in:
The New England Patriots review is especially problematic: the nominator has been waiting since last August(!) for a review, and the most recent reviewer—who never started the review after opening the page—had withdrawn and I'd requested a speedy delete that had taken over two days to be done … only to have this non-review (not a single word of comment!) further delay things. (This would be the oldest unreviewed nomination by four months, and thus bound to be taken up by a legitimate GA Cup competitor in a day or two, if it hadn't been scooped up by W5nio. It's why I noticed him in the first place.)
A basic chronology:
Please let me know whether you can delete these three pages for me. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:27, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Hello again. Thanks for always response my questions in a serious and polite way. I have a couple of questions about creating a page. I didn't have the number of answers I'd have liked in my WP:RFC here but the few state I could create a main page about the documentary, but I don't want to clash with the WP:NPP and give' em tons of explanations as it happened in Talk: Peyton Manning. I'm new creating WP pages so I don't know the more practical way to do it. Snow Rise was helping me but he told me he was very busy and he can't response right now, so I'll look for help anywhere else until he's able to answer. Thank you.

Cas Liber, it looks like the New York Subway hook was promoted without the proper spacing after the ellipsis. Can you please fix it so that there is a space between ellipsis and "that"? Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 07:18, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
