== List of Justices of the High Court of Australia  ==

Hi SchreiberBike, I've got one more [[Talk:List_of_Justices_of_the_High_Court_of_Australia#Requested_move_2_September_2023|ongoing move discussion]] that's encountered some resistance. Would love to read your input on it. Cheers! [[User:Woko Sapien|Woko Sapien]] ([[User talk:Woko Sapien|talk]]) 13:40, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
:{{ping |Woko Sapien}} Glad to help. It's a never ending battle. For future events, I'd suggest adding a note at [[Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Capital letters#Current]] as asking for help from people you know will probably be on your side could be considered [[Wikipedia:Canvassing|canvasing]]. If there's a note at WT:MOSCAPS, I'll see it and so would many others. Regardless, keep up the good work.{{pb}}P.S. I've got [[List of Acts of the Parliament of the United Kingdom]], which should be [[List of acts of Parliament of the United Kingdom]] on my list, and it's the head of a long series. I'm busy with another project until near the end of the this year, but if you're in the mood to take it on, feel free.&nbsp;[[User:SchreiberBike|SchreiberBike&nbsp;]]&#124;[[User talk:SchreiberBike#top|&nbsp;⌨&nbsp;]] 15:51, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
::That's my bad! As I said on the move discussion, [[User_talk:Woko_Sapien#Charles_III_requested_move_discussion|I've been canvassed before]], so I assumed it was okay. Thank you for the advice on future move discussions!
::Also, I'll definitely look into those "Acts" articles! [[User:Woko Sapien|Woko Sapien]] ([[User talk:Woko Sapien|talk]]) 16:07, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
:::{{ping |Woko Sapien}} Excellent! Wikipedia's got what seems like million rules and no one knows them all (but any one can blame us for not knowing them).&nbsp;[[User:SchreiberBike|SchreiberBike&nbsp;]]&#124;[[User talk:SchreiberBike#top|&nbsp;⌨&nbsp;]] 16:20, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
::::Made a proposal on the "List of Acts of..." articles. I kept "the" in the title because one of my arguments is that these should all follow the precedent set by the American versions (e.g. [[List of acts of the 112th United States Congress]]). But otherwise, it tackles the issue of needlessly capitalizing "Acts". [[User:Woko Sapien|Woko Sapien]] ([[User talk:Woko Sapien|talk]]) 17:49, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

|
The first edition of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life/Contest|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 {{noping|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.
<br>
<small>Also anyone who wants to help coordinate the contest can just drop by at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tree of Life/Contest|the talk page]], I really need help.</small>

== Wildlife of Zimbabwe ==

Hi dear SchreiberBike. The second paragraph of the lead section of the article [[Wildlife of Zimbabwe]] says: "In the 1990s, it became one of the leading countries in Africa in wildlife conservation and management with a reported income generation US$300 million per year from the protected areas of the state, rural community run wildlife management areas and private game ranches and reserves." I think that an "of" is required before "US$300 million" and also a full stop must come before "rural community". As I am not a native speaker of English, I decided not to make any changes to the article, but please do so if what I say is right or explain why what I say is not right. Thanks in advance. [[User:Taddah|Taddah]] ([[User talk:Taddah|talk]]) 11:37, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
:{{ping |Taddah}} Like many articles on Wikipedia, this one is badly out of date and not that well written. I [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wildlife_of_Zimbabwe&diff=prev&oldid=1179491719 copy edited the second paragraph as you suggested and made some other small changes], but it deserves more attention. I didn't follow your suggestions exactly, but please take a look at it now and see if that is better. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help (but I'm in a busy period and may not be able to do much). Thank you,&nbsp;[[User:SchreiberBike|SchreiberBike&nbsp;]]&#124;[[User talk:SchreiberBike#top|&nbsp;⌨&nbsp;]] 13:43, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
::Thank you so much for your edit on the article and your answer. I truly appreciate it. [[User:Taddah|Taddah]] ([[User talk:Taddah|talk]]) 13:52, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

==Polyommatus==
For some reason this genus is placed in Riodinidae in the (automated?) taxobox. This should be Lycaenidae.Would you be so good as to fix this.Best regards [[User:Notafly|Notafly]] ([[User talk:Notafly|talk]]) 20:13, 23 October 2023 (UTC) PS Polyommatinae is also placed in Riodinidae
It looks as though the "parents" part of the taxobox is incorrect
:{{ping |Notafly |Rodrigo Conte}} Sorry it's taken so long to get to this. I think [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Taxonomy/Lycaenidae&diff=prev&oldid=1181906050 this] may have fixed it. Take a look and see if it looks right to you. I've not worked with automated taxoboxes much recently so I'm not sure if I did it right. I've pinged Rodrigo Conte who made the change to see if his understanding matches with mine. Take care,&nbsp;[[User:SchreiberBike|SchreiberBike&nbsp;]]&#124;[[User talk:SchreiberBike#top|&nbsp;⌨&nbsp;]] 23:11, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

Very many thanks.Everything I checked seems ok.Best regards[[User:Notafly|Notafly]] ([[User talk:Notafly|talk]]) 19:21, 27 October 2023 (UTC) Did you note we have lost Alan Cassidy as an editor.He has made endless contributions and added marvellous photos.A well known expert on Lycaenidae he has been blocked due to (to my mind) his political and social views.Alan was a military officer not a diplomat.I will try and contact him and maybe make amends.

The second edition of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life/Contest|our monthly contest]] was even better than the last month, with 80 articles improved spanning the entire tree of life. The winner this month was {{noping|Quetzal1964}}, who contributed to 47 articles, mainly relating to [[marine fish]], and racked up 81 points in the process. In second place was {{noping|simongraham}}, who got 60 points from 14 articles on various species of [[jumping spider]]s. {{noping|simongraham}} is still at the top of our overall standings, with 130 points, and {{noping|Quetzal1964}}'s close behind on 108. The November edition of the contest is now open: feel free to drop by and participate if you work on any TOL-related articles this month.

Now, this newsletter is technically not new, but I have only recently become aware of its existence and am only a month late, so it still counts. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Fungi|Wikiproject Fungi]]'s [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Fungi/Lichen task force|Lichen task force]] has [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Fungi/Lichen task force/Newsletter|a new newsletter]] that is very nicely formatted and also features much better writing than ''this'' newsletter. Anyone interested in receiving the newsletter can add their name [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Fungi/Lichen task force/Newsletter#Delivery options|here]].

And so ends the fourth edition of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life/Contest|monthly rolling contest]], as well as the 2023 Tree of Life Contest as a whole. This month saw {{noping|simongraham}} win with a very impressive 120 points from 27 articles. {{noping|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. {{noping|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!

* Our first double issue in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life/Newsletter/015|almost four years]], although we will try to return to a monthly schedule henceforth (incidentally, the last double issue saw [[Markham's storm petrel]] at GAN, and this one sees it finally pass FAC).
* A highly competitive first round of the [[WP:WikiCup|WikiCup]] sees four Tree of Life editors advance to the second round: {{noping|MtBotany}}, {{noping|Fritzmann2002}}, {{noping|Ealdgyth}}, and {{noping|AryKun}}
* The [[Wikipedia:Good articles/GAN Backlog Drives/March 2024|March 2024 GAN Backlog Drive]] starts today; everyone is welcome to participate and help reduce the backlog of GANs.
* The January edition of our [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life/Contest|monthly rolling contest]] was won by {{noping|Quetzal1964}} with 100 points from 40 articles, mainly related to various species of marine fish. {{noping|simongraham}} was second with 80 points from 14 articles on jumping spiders.
* The February edition saw {{noping|Quetzal1964}} win for the second time in a row, with 114 points from 43 articles. In second place was {{noping|Snoteleks}}, with 21 points from 7 seven articles on various unicellular [[eukaryote]]s, including the GA [[Telonemia]].

== List of animal actors ==

Only [[Alfred Hitchcock]] thought of human actors as animals, and as cattle, not primates. [[User:Clarityfiend|Clarityfiend]] ([[User talk:Clarityfiend|talk]]) 10:10, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
:{{ping |Clarityfiend}} No matter. I know some people do not think of people as animals, but I do think most people do think of people as primates. I like clarity too, and it seemed to be a loss of such, but I can let it go.

==[[MOS:TITLETYPOCON]]==
Hello, SchreiberBike,

This redirect appeared on a list I run on the Wikipedia database for redirects that are errors. I'd like you to tag it for CSD G7 speedy deletion because a) no one will know that this discussion is called "MOS:TITLETYPOCON" except for you so it really only serves a purpose for you, not for our editors, even those interested in MOS discussions. Secondly, b) as soon as the talk page gets archived, it will no longer be accurate because the discussion will be placed in the archives, not on the main talk page where this links to. I could tag it for an MFD discussion but I thought I'd first explain why these types of individual redirects are not useful and give you a chance to rethink its creation. Thank you. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 03:38, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
:Hi @[[User:Liz|Liz]], My rough model for this shortcut was [[Wikipedia:BIRDCON]] which has been in place without objection since 2014. As I explained in the edit summary when I created it, "I will monitor the target page and change the link when that discussion is archived." I had planned to add the {{t |shortcut}} template to the MoS talk page, but I started with the redirect to be sure it would work. I think this redirect is useful, so I'd like to discuss further. Thank you, &nbsp;[[User:SchreiberBike|SchreiberBike&nbsp;]]&#124;[[User talk:SchreiberBike#top|&nbsp;⌨&nbsp;]] 11:57, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
::I've [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style&diff=prev&oldid=1217031262 added] the shortcut to the MoS talk page discussion with an explanation.&nbsp;[[User:SchreiberBike|SchreiberBike&nbsp;]]&#124;[[User talk:SchreiberBike#top|&nbsp;⌨&nbsp;]] 12:13, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
:::That is appreciated. I'm still not sure about this page. I did realize that a discussion would go to RFD not MFD. Let's see if any other editors have an objection to it. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 16:52, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

* The newsletter will not be returning to a monthly format (mainly because the author is busy failing every exam imaginable) and is on a bimonthly schedule for the foreseeable future.

* The March edition of our [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life/Contest|monthly rolling contest]] was won by {{noping|simongraham}}, who amassed 118 points from 21 articles on various species of jumping spider; in second place was {{noping|Quetzal1964}} with 109 points from 53 articles on marine ray-finned fish.
* Quetzal1964 and simongraham were also the top two in the April edition, although Quetzal was ahead this time, with 68 points to simongraham's 48. In the annual leaderboard, Quetzal and simongraham are in first and second place respectively, with 291 and 246 points; in third place is {{noping|Snotoleks}}, with 76 points.

== Names in French. ==

I realised that on wiki the common names have caps only for titles. I had never come accross since a lot of books or websites don't apply this rule but my bad. I don't really get why it would apply to name in French though. The caps are mandatory in French when you are refering to a specific species. I'm just trying to understand the logic not really force my edit. [[User:Arkin40700|Arkin40700]] ([[User talk:Arkin40700|talk]]) 12:40, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
:{{ping |Arkin40700}} Thanks for your note. In English, species common names are often capitalized in guide books and lists for emphasis, but not in running text in general publications. I've read books about butterflies where the butterfly common names are capitalized, but the bird names are not, and vise versa. Wikipedia, being an encyclopedia about everything, decided to stick with lower case. That was a difficult decision as the people with interest in birds, especially, were used to their birding guides which consistently capitalized common names.{{pb}}I'm not a French speaker, but my observation of French is that species common names are sometimes capitalized and sometimes not. I just looked at the French Wikipedia articles for the first three birds on [[List of birds of Metropolitan France]]: [[:fr:Oie des neiges|Oie des neiges]], [[:fr:Oie cendrée|Oie cendrée]], and [[:fr:Oie rieuse|Oie rieuse]] and found that the names were capitalized mid-sentence 4 times out of 5, 2 times of 14, and 1 time out of 3 respectively. So, in that small sample it looks like in French Wikipedia they are not mandatory or even the majority. Even if capitalization was French Wikipedia's style, we'd follow English Wikipedia's style. Keep up the good work.&nbsp;[[User:SchreiberBike|SchreiberBike&nbsp;]]&#124;[[User talk:SchreiberBike#top|&nbsp;⌨&nbsp;]] 13:18, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
::I don't know it you can speak French but :[[fr:Wikipédia:Conventions typographiques#Nomenclature en français|French wiki on naming species]].
::I tried translating it to English on DeepL.com and it seemed accurate.
::I've updated those articles in French. I try to focus more taxonomy and scientific but when I come accross those kind of small mistakes I correct them. [[User:Arkin40700|Arkin40700]] ([[User talk:Arkin40700|talk]]) 13:57, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
:::I've never looked at ''Conventions typographiques'', but I figured there was something like that. Clearly the rules are different on French and English Wikipedia. I've no formal training in French but I know plenty of words and I've spent some wonderful time in Provence, so I feel like I can figure out a lot (and sometimes I can see where translations lead astray).

== Translating French page in English ==

Hello,

I have made a page for a Swiss sculptor (from the same region as me), Marc Raymond, on the French Wikipedia. I was wondering how to do an English translation of this page. I have tried to translate but it is only for experience editors from the English Wikipedia. 

Do you know how I could do that ?

Thank you very much and have a good day. [[User:Adamdoter|Adamdoter]] ([[User talk:Adamdoter|talk]]) 13:49, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
:{{ping |Adamdoter}} Thanks for your note. I'm in a busy period just now and haven't had much time for Wikipedia. I will be away from my computer completely for the next four days. I took a quick look at [[User:Adamdoter/Marc Raymond]] and it looks reasonable, but needs some work. Since you asked, I'd be happy to work on it with you next week, but if someone else can work on it sooner, they should feel free. There's all kinds of helpful information at [[Wikipedia:Translation]] and [[Help:Translation]] that I've not read, but I'll bet, like most of Wikipedia's rules, it is somewhat overwhelming. My French is not nearly good enough to translate, but I'd be happy to edit the English version. Thank you,&nbsp;[[User:SchreiberBike|SchreiberBike&nbsp;]]&#124;[[User talk:SchreiberBike#top|&nbsp;⌨&nbsp;]] 12:17, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
::Hello,
::Thank you very much, I feel relieved really, because I am a bit lost with all Wikipedia rules and my English isn't the best. 
::Please take your time, no hurry, and if you can help me out with this traduction I will really appreciate !
::Thanks again and have a good summer [[User:Adamdoter|Adamdoter]] ([[User talk:Adamdoter|talk]]) 10:08, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

==Talk page reversion==
Hi SchreiberBike - the pic I swapped out on [[Talk:List of birds of Yuma County, Arizona]] is very low quality; I was orphaning it with a view to nominating it for deletion at Commons. Does that affect your decision? Usually, a pic in use won't get deleted, though I see that several other images on that talk page are dead links, so maybe use on talk pages doesn't preclude deletion? Thanks! - [[User:MPF|MPF]] ([[User talk:MPF|talk]]) 22:22, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
:{{ping |MPF}} I don't know anything about deletion at Commons. I wouldn't think that an image used only on a talk page would have much value, but I'm sure there's a history of precedents about such things. When I reverted your change, I was thinking of how I'd feel if someone modified a message I'd sent, even if it had been posted long ago. I think the best thing is that the image is deleted and the image turns into red text with the file name.&nbsp;[[User:SchreiberBike|SchreiberBike&nbsp;]]&#124;[[User talk:SchreiberBike#top|&nbsp;⌨&nbsp;]] 02:16, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

== [[:Wildlife of Mauritius]] ==

Can you tell if the edits being made by 102.19.xxx on that article are at all legitimate? None are sourced, and they don't engage at any of their talk page(s). I don't know enough to tell if they're making stuff up, or if it's factual information. [[User:Joyous!|Joyous!]] [[User_talk:Joyous%21|Noise!]] 00:34, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
:{{ping |Joyous!}} I wonder too. I sure would prefer to have a reference for each fact, but when I look at their pattern of edits they don't seem like a vandal. I've checked a few of the additions and they look reasonable, but I've not checked everything or checked thoroughly. In cases like this I assume good faith and hope I'm right. If you've got any further insight, please share. Thanks and keep up the good work.&nbsp;[[User:SchreiberBike|SchreiberBike&nbsp;]]&#124;[[User talk:SchreiberBike#top|&nbsp;⌨&nbsp;]] 02:05, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

== Help need ==

At [[Mammal]], “[Polyandry in animals|polyandrous]]” is missing an extra “[“ at the beginning. [[User:Greatstrongholder|Greatstrongholder]] ([[User talk:Greatstrongholder|talk]]) 17:51, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
:{{ping |Greatstrongholder}} Thanks for the heads up. I fixed it. After you've been around and editing for a while, you'll be able to do things like that yourself. Keep up the good work.&nbsp;[[User:SchreiberBike|SchreiberBike&nbsp;]]&#124;[[User talk:SchreiberBike#top|&nbsp;⌨&nbsp;]] 19:09, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

== Two more things ==

At [[Vulva]] could you link "[[labia vulvae]]" since Puppymonkey made a redirect for it?

At [[Ear]] could you at the beginning of the first sentence in first paragraph type in “In [[theria]]ns, the pinna helps direct…” in Other animals since the pinna is a trait only in Theria? [[User:Greatstrongholder|Greatstrongholder]] ([[User talk:Greatstrongholder|talk]]) 23:34, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
:{{ping |Greatstrongholder}} I made the change at Vulva, but not at Ear. Ear is marked as a good article, which means there has been some review and what is there has some validity. I think your note at [[Talk:Ear]] asking for the same change will probably get a response from someone with more expertise and experience with the article than I. Thank you,&nbsp;[[User:SchreiberBike|SchreiberBike&nbsp;]]&#124;[[User talk:SchreiberBike#top|&nbsp;⌨&nbsp;]] 01:42, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

== Reverted edits on List of birds of Papua New Guinea ==

I removed the Dusky Megapode because it is simply not in Papua New Guinea. I removed and added a few more birds, since it seems like someone assumed that the article was for list of birds of new guinea as a whole, which it is not. [[User:Qwexcxewq|Qwexcxewq]] ([[User talk:Qwexcxewq|talk]]) 23:42, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
:{{ping |Qwexcxewq}} That makes perfect sense. A note in the edit summary tells other editors why an edit is made. Without that note it's hard to tell what is an edit made for good reasons and what is random vandalism. Thanks for your note above and keep up the good work.&nbsp;[[User:SchreiberBike|SchreiberBike&nbsp;]]&#124;[[User talk:SchreiberBike#top|&nbsp;⌨&nbsp;]] 00:26, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
