Contest results

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.
Also anyone who wants to help coordinate the contest can just drop by at the talk page, I really need help.

• ... that the Munich Mouser, Neville Chamberlain's pet, and Nelson, Winston Churchill's pet, had a rivalry during World War II? (September 6)

Draft what to do

should i just move the whole list (Draft:List of virus species ICTV 2022) into List of virus species

_>>> Webclo^udd@their-talk-page 01:55, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

I’m assuming you did what I did a few years ago and just copied all the species from the spreadsheet at ICTV and prettied it up. If so, then yea, you can just copy the text from the draft into the mainspace article. I wish we had another source, but there really isn’t anything else out there. NCBI has a little but they’re a little foggy on viruses.

I was working real hard on getting virus articles up to par, and then i got a new job and couldn’t spend time on it, and then they went all binomial. So I’m glad someone else is working on it. I may not be as active as I was, but if you ever want to bounce something around, i’m all ears. awkwafaba (📥) 02:14, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Yep, i took it from the spreadsheet and Regex'ed it all up, i will do that, and then probably delete it?

_>>> Webclo^udd@their-talk-page 02:17, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Delete the draft? Yea, don’t need it after that. awkwafaba (📥) 02:20, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

I have put it as MfD, if that is what you are supposed to do _>>> Webclo^udd@their-talk-page 02:32, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

also, one thing to note as the links will be very messed up in the list now as the articles actually mostly have old non-binomial names

_>>> Webclo^udd@their-talk-page 02:33, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

If you want a fun task, you can create redirects, but really, all the articles need to move to the current names. It’s a big task. Hopefully ICTV won’t change everything again before we get there. awkwafaba (📥) 03:04, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
