Rejected draft reports no longer updating?



Hello William Avery,

The rejected draft reports you created doesn't seem to be updating anymore. The last information is from 10th of September: https://heber.toolforge.org/drafts/filter/20220910. All the following days show an empty report. MKFI (talk) 11:24, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
:Thanks for letting me know. I'll take a look later. William Avery (talk) 12:32, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
:It should be updating as usual now. I am subscribed to the appropriate mailing list, but missed this ↗. 🤭 William Avery (talk) 15:46, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
::Thank you! MKFI (talk) 06:19, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Rejected drafts report stopped updating



Hello William Avery,

The rejected drafts report has stopped updating, the last information is from 6th of April: https://heber.toolforge.org/drafts/filter/20230406. All the following days show an empty report. Could you please check it? MKFI (talk) 08:22, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
:Fixed. The MariaDB software used by ToolForge was changed from version 10.1.44 to version 10.4.28 by this ↗, and that broke it. William Avery (talk) 10:37, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
::Thank you for the quick fix! MKFI (talk) 10:44, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

|-
|
This month has seen an incredible amount of activity creating high quality content, with 3 FAs, 3 FACs, and a veritable flood of GAs and GANs, not to mention the FLs and FLCs. To help maintain this high level of activity going forward, WikiProject Tree of Life is starting a new monthly rolling contest ↗, inspired by the contest ↗ run by WikiProject Military History. This contest should hopefully help incentivize editors to contribute in ways that are less daunting than writing articles that are GA and FA-quality. Even improving articles from stub to start class, or helping other editors by reviewing their work at GAN, FAC, or FLC, gets you points, with bonus points for articles with especially high page views. Make sure to participate in any way you can, and help improve the 'pedia while having fun and winning Barnstars!

MOS:RANGE edits



As in this edit ↗, you mention MOS:RANGE ↗ as the reason for your edit, but the text you cite does not prohibit the use of en dashes as a separator for a date range. In fact, in the examples listed "For ranges between numbers, dates, or times, use an en dash: pp. 7–19; 64–75%; '''Henry VIII reigned 1509–1547'''" the en dash is specifically listed for a range of dates. Why bother "fixing" a non-problem that is specifically permitted by the guideline you point to as justification for your edit? Alansohn (talk) 14:05, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
:And if you read the guideline a little further it advises, "Do not mix en dashes with between or from", giving the specific example "from 1961 to 1964, not from 1961–1964". Is that not clear? William Avery (talk) 15:25, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

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 {{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 the talk page ↗, I really need help.</small>

The second edition of 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. Wikiproject Fungi ↗'s Lichen task force ↗ has 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 here ↗.

Page edit help



Greetings William, I was giving your name from Senior Wikipedia Administrator, Brendan Conway. A friend of mine has a Wiki page nominated for deletion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Boulton

David is ill with COVID and asked me to assist him. I don't have enough experience to update his page to meet the objections to his page. David would like to keep his page. He has a list of more resources that would be helpful to document his case for keeping the page. He asked me to contact you on his behalf, my name is Kevin Manley. Are you available to help with any edits to comply with wiki standards? Kevin Manley (talk) 16:23, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
:Hi, I don't think I want to get involved with that. I would encourage you to read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest ↗. William Avery (talk) 07:59, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
::Thank you, William. Kevin Manley (talk) 13:01, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Article improvement help



Hello Mr. Avery, Brendan Conway, Senior Wikipedia Administrator, recommended that I contact you regarding my Wikipedia article. It was nominated for deletion on December 10th, so I only have four days to respond.

The page is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_W._Lopez. As you will see, we have been responding to editorial requests for several months. Mr. Conway stated that it was his opinion that my work was worthy of a Wikipedia article, so I am reaching out to you for help. I was informed that your fee will be $1499. How do I pay you? Shall we communicate via email, telephone, what works for you?

Thanks for you help,

Gary GW Lopez (talk) 18:48, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
:The information you have been given is not true. I do not offer such assistance.
:See {{Section_link|Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1144|Another dumb AfD scam}} for background. William Avery (talk) 21:44, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
::Thank you for this heads up, Mr. Avery. So you know, the email address, links, and all other indicators appear legitimate. GW Lopez (talk) 00:15, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

And so ends the fourth edition of the 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!

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions ↗, such as the edit(s) you made to :Alexander Zhulin ↗, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted ↗. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines ↗. You can find information about these at our welcome page ↗ which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia ↗. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page ↗. Thank you.<!-- Template:uw-disruptive1 --> Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 22:16, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

:@Figureskatingfan, What on earth are you talking about? Did you not understand my edit summary? William Avery (talk) 22:22, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
::William, I understand that your addition was a direct quote of Zhulin, but I reverted you because the language is inappropriate for an encyclopedia, as per WP:OM ↗. A better way would be to summarize his offensive comments and state that he personally attacked Rippon and Wagner for their statements about the Russian ban from figure skating. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 04:43, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
:::{{tps}} {{ping|Figureskatingfan}} No, the quote was already present. The only thing William Avery did was replace wrongly-used curly apostrophes with straight ones. <span style="background:#42024b; color:#fcf09c;">'''''AddWitty'''''</span><span style="background:#fcf09c; color:#42024b;">''NameHere''</span> 05:57, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

: I have no plans to do so, but the code I wrote should still work, so I could run it if required.

Sydney



Hey, just a heads up as I saw that you reviewed a pending change at Sydney ↗. Consensus is that native Indigenous names of places in Australia should not be added to the infobox unless backed up by a reliable source AND that the name refers to the entire metropolitan area, and not just one singular part of the city, e.g. the name only refers to the CBD (Australian English)/downtown (American English) or in some instances, the native name only refers to an area of the city between two particular rivers, i.e. the native names are loosely defined. Cheers, Fork99 (talk) 05:49, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
:But the the edit was not vandalism, therefore it deserved to be approved. William Avery (talk) 06:09, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
::Yes, I'm aware of that since I'm a pending changes reviewer too, but it would have been reverted anyways, and reviewers are allowed to use discretion to undo an edit if it would have been reverted anyways. Plus, this was actually one of the the reasons why Sydney ↗ was pending changes protected. Fork99 (talk) 21:20, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

IP at Curry ↗



William, there is an IP editor at curry who has objected violently to the infobox's claim, and then (paradoxically) to its removal. They've now extended the Lizzie Collingham quotation to 73 words, which may be problematic as a fair usage. I could revert it but I've already made 2 changes, one of them certainly a revert, and they may not take kindly if I revert something which they feel is reasonable. Would you mind taking a look? Many thanks, Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:53, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

:Many thanks. You may like to note that someone, very possibly the IP in question, has today created an account and has edited Curry and nothing else ... with at least one definite POV edit. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:17, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Taxobox analyser and color parameter



Hi, I've been fixing a number of articles recently (e.g. ''Salimicrobium ↗'') where editors used your taxobox analyser script, and left {{para|color}} from the previous manual taxobox. As there's no such parameter in the automated taxoboxes (actually not in {{tl|Taxobox}} either), could your tool be changed to remove it? Peter coxhead (talk) 10:03, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

:This is Scorpions13256 editing under a new account.|subgenus= was also another parameter. The Knowledge Pirate (talk) 15:27, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
::Glad to see you back, Scorpions / Knowledge Pirate. I saw Peter's message this morning and thought "Nobody uses Taxobozalyzer since Scorpions13256 went!" The tool now removes both those parameters, and outputs a message "removed subgenus parameter - parent parameter may be required", when that parameter has been removed.

Free play ↗ moved to draftspace



Thanks for your contributions to Free play ↗. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because '''it needs more sources to establish notability''', '''it consists of machine-generated text''' and '''clearly NOT ready for main space'''.
I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page ↗.
When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Theroadislong (talk) 18:43, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

About English page



Hello William, I hope this message finds you well. I'm reaching out to kindly ask for your assistance in reviewing and possibly approving a draft page I’ve been working on for Wikipedia. I’ve done my best to ensure the content is well-sourced, neutral, and aligned with Wikipedia’s guidelines, but I would greatly appreciate your expert input to make sure everything is in order.

Your support would mean a lot, and I’m more than willing to make any necessary changes based on your feedback.

Thank you very much in advance for your time and help.

Best regards,

Rubus magurensis



I think that taxonbar should be removed. ''Rubus magurensis'' Nyár. is the topic of the Russian article, and probably the Turkish one. The English article applies to a different species, which will have to be renamed. Lavateraguy (talk) 21:52, 12 August 2025 (UTC)

:Good spot. I'm afraid I don't check such details as the taxon authors. Yesterday there was a backlog of over 300 articles waiting for taxonbars to be added. William Avery (talk) 06:56, 13 August 2025 (UTC)

Modification to a minor edit you made



You justified this edit ↗ per MOS:GEOLINK ↗. However, the comma between „Sydney” and „Australia” did not, in this case, make the latter an appositive to the former, which is what GEOLINK applies to. I have taken the liberty of delinking „Australia”, probably the best solution.

Nevertheless, this edit seemed a little sloppy on your part. I wonder if I might ask not only how it happened, but what you think you could do to keep it from recurring? Daniel Case (talk) 20:19, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

A good chance to have fun in expanding many of our old stale stubs and win up to £2000 ($2680) in Amazon vouchers for expanding stub articles. Sign up in the Contestants/participants section on the contest page if interested. Even if not interested in prizes you are still warmly welcome to participate in it as an editathon!
