[edit]Innotata, your nomination of this multi-article DYK has been stalled since December 7. Please stop by the nomination page and address the issue raised as soon as possible. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:24, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry to bother you, Innotata, but the nomination was pulled from a queue due to close paraphrasing concerns, and the creator has basically said he's not capable of fixing the issue. Under the circumstances, if you're not up for fixing the problems, I can't see the nomination surviving. I hope you can help out. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:03, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
- @BlueMoonset: These issues may be too big for me to deal with, unfortunately. I don't how big of a problem any close paraphrasing is, but it looks like the articles' creator might have accidentally messed up the sources a good bit. —innotata 04:37, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for letting me know. I've waited to see whether someone else would take these up, but it's been a week and no one has. I'm marking the nomination for closure. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:42, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Please look at the article and see if you can improve it! ^_^ and also at Alex's list of sources. How good are the sources used for "Themes", I don't know!!? I think it might be better if you did that before I started adding what I've got, or else I'm just being lazy. I've emailed you some of myy notes, to your WP-dedicated email.

DYK for 2011 Minnesota state government shutdown
[edit] | On 21 January 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 2011 Minnesota state government shutdown, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that as much as 80 percent of government spending continued during the 2011 Minnesota state government shutdown? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/2011 Minnesota state government shutdown. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, 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. |

Hi Innotata. Thanks for attending our last meetup at the American Craft Council. If you're interested, we're doing a big event at the Walker this Sunday and we could use experienced editors on hand. gobonobo + c 09:19, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
- @Gobonobo: Sorry I didn't make it, but you in the future you should these out earlier/not scheduled an event so quickly, if possible. (It's pretty fast to send out invites with AWB or something.) I only saw this last week. Anyway, how did it go? —innotata 22:31, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
- It went well. We had about 40 attendees and created a bunch of new articles. There'll be another one on May 9 at St. Kate's. Good work on 2011 Minnesota state government shutdown by the way. gobonobo + c 00:48, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

House sparrow egg image
[edit]I think it is interesting for the visitors to see the SIZE of an egg. This was the reason to add the eggs of our museum. Klaus Rassinger Klausrassinger (talk) 13:53, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
- I don't think that's enough additional value considering that the size can be described well in words, and that the photo doesn't look good at thumbnail resolution or have the best scale set-up. Also, given how many images there already are in the behaviour section, all of which serve an important purpose, there hardly is space for any more without causing display problems. —innotata 05:41, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
